I have been remiss...my apologies!

I have been so busy this past month that I really haven't been able to find time to post on the blog like I'd like to...so this weekend I plan on some massive catching up! The first exciting thing that happened was that after 109 days out to sea, Mark came home! WHEEE......



This company had a special for military families whereby you could order these banners for the cost of shipping! I had this one made for Marks homecoming...I wrote the dates of his mission on the back and we will write all his mission dates on it. A nice souvenir for when he retires (July of 2010!!)



Mark got home on a Friday morning and by Friday afternoon the kids had him convinced to go to the lake and swim and play boccie. They LOVE that game!



Saturday morning Paige conned him into fixing her breakfast...I was LOVING this new routine!




Can you tell that Ben really missed his Daddy?





After Breakfast it was off to Scenic Beach for the afternoon.....nice and relaxing...




This has got to be the BEST t shirt ever! Oh..and Marks not bad either! For the record, I am the 'real woman' on this t shirt in case any of you were wondering!!




Sunday found us at Point No Point Beach for the day....what a weekend..felt like being on a tropical vacation! Paige was busy digging in the sand.




Mark and the kids playing in the water...as if Mark didn't get enough of the sea!



Of course we had to have ice cream down on the beach...yummy..




Lighthouse at Point No Point...



The view from the beach of Mount Rainier.....what a paradise we live in!!





Hugs to all,

Jaye
