New Wall Hanging

I made this new wall hanging. Its really simple and quite a bit smaller then the others I have made. I really like it.

Happy 4th Birthday Madee

Madee turned four years old yesterday and She had such a great birthday. She got a package from her Nana, which she loved. She got her very own dress up wedding dress with matching gloves. She loved this and her Grandpa and Nana watched her open her gifts on skype. That was really special for her.
In the afternoon we headed over to the park for a very fun birthday party and we played a couple games like hot potato with balloons and princess, Princess, Knight(similar to duck duck goose).
Madee was very shy well everyone was singing to her but she loved having all her friends there to share her special day. When asked what her favorite part of her party was she said opening presents. And her favorite present was the fairy wings she got but really I think all the gifts were equally enjoyed.
Because she had a princess kind of theme to the party just a bit we made a castle cake for her. Its too bad it started leaning on us. It was a cool cake. Madee had a wonderful time and thanks everyone for helping to make her day a very happy and special one for her.

Bike Riding Master

Madee for the last week or so decided she wanted her training wheels off her bike. She has been trying to get the hang of riding without them. She is doing pretty good. Other then turning sharply she can go for a little bit. We are very impressed. She doesn't even really like me holding the back of her bike she has been getting the hang out it on her own. Go Madee!!

Trip to the Tri Cities Washington

Lincoln and I decided to head to the Tri Cities Washington labor day weekend. Lincoln's sister Lives there with her family and all of Lincoln's Siblings were going to be out that way except for us. So we drove the 10hrs both ways and it was very worth it. The picture above we sent to Lincoln's mom in Portland. She had no idea we were coming. She had to look twice at the picture to see who was really in it. It was very funny. The picture above is Lincoln, His sister, His brother and Brother's Fiancee, Me with Sam!
We took the kids to the dream park. It really was a dream for them. Tones of stuff to climb on and explore plus a little area where little sprinklers turned on and strayed. That the kids could run though. They had a great time!
We got Family pictures taken and every one got into Nana and Grandpa's Motor home for the fun adventure. Madee loved spending time with cousins and jumping on the trampoline.
We also got in some canoeing adventures and Most of the girls took Lincoln's sister workout out flow class. It was really fun to spend time with all the family. We even helped them can some of there peaches.
