Laurie's Wedding

Well girls.... Laurie & Patrick got married on Saturday. She was a beautiful bride and everything went off without a hitch. She's going to have lots of pictures to scrapbook. And of course, it wouldn't be a post without a picture of Sage.

Fire

There was a fire near my house today that burned 16 acres. I was so scared. Scott called me at 3:20 to tell me it looked like there was a fire near our house. He had just picked Sage up from daycare and could see the fire off in the distance. I was at work and immediately ran out to my car. All I could think about was getting home to make sure that the dogs were okay and get them out of there if I needed to. It was horrible. They ended up getting the fire under control with air tankers and helicopters. No houses were burned and all is fine up on the hill tonight. Firefighters are staying up here tonight to make sure that all is calm with no hot spots. I really hate fire. Bring on some rain!!!!

Mill Creek Falls

We went to Mill Creek Falls today for a little hike. It was our first time taking Sage hiking. She did great. At one point, she literally ate dirt when she fell. She didn't care though, she just shook it off and took off again. She was so dirty, we had to give her a bath when we got home. She did great on the one hour drive. She is not really a car kid, so I just turned on a Diego DVD and it worked its magic. Towards the end of our hike, she was so tired & Scott finally had to carry her. We had a little picnic and just got to spend some nice time outdoors. We are planning on buying a tent trailor before next summer, so we also scoped out some fun family friendly places to camp. Lost Creek Lake looked like it would be a fun place to stay.

For Alison

And this picture too, only because she threatened me with my life if I put in on the blog. This is one of my dearest friends, Alison. We met in chemistry class in college and went all through the nursing program together. She is the warmest, funniest, smartest person I know. She lives up past Seattle now, so we don't get to see each other often anymore, but we keep in touch on the phone and email. She also just finished her masters degree and is now a Psychiatric Nurse Practioner (smarty pants!). I am so proud of her. She's leaving for Hawaii tomorrow morning with her husband. Have fun in Kuai!!!!

Happy Labor Day

I've been so lazy lately and not blogging at all. I'm working a bit more, so my time is more limited. I bow to those moms that have to work full time. I seriously don't know how you do it. I work 2 or 2 1/2 days a week and I feel overwhelmed with that. My parents kept Sage overnight on Saturday, so Scott and I went to a nice dinner and then came home and cleaned the carpets and scrubbed the floors. Gotta get the heavy work done when Sage isn't here. She had a great time at my parents house. They are going to keep her more often now, which will be really good for her. She just adores them. She loves to look at their pictures that are up around the house and say their names. There is definitley a feel of fall in the air. I'm getting ancy for the fun of fall. The big question of course....what should Sage be for Halloween? Any suggestions?
