Soccer Star

Ella started soccer this fall and is a member of the Shining Stars! It has been such a joy to watch her play since she seems to always be having so much fun and always has a smile on her face while running up and down the field. Looking forward to a great season!

Club Husky

My friend Carrie had her corporate tickets for the Husky game so we were able to check out Club Husky. The new stadium is very impressive and so is the team this year. Go Dawgs!!!

You Go Girl!

My three girlfriends and I ran the You Go Girl Half Marathon this weekend! We have been running a few mornings a week for the last almost two years (with a small hiatus from me when I was working). We call ourselves Team Huff 'N Puff :) There are very few people I would get up at 5:40 am for but these ladies are worth it and there is no way I would have signed up for a half marathon without them. Today we ran 13.1 miles in thunder, lightening, and rain....seriously!!! I am so lucky to have these ladies that listen to me, push me, and encourage me. Way to go Team Huff 'N Puff!

My Cheerleaders

Although Ashley was much more interested in the giant shoe

Ella was so proud of her sign that she made me

I am the extra large one on the right....the reason I run :)

Fair Fun

Once again the Fair did not disappoint....

There were smiles

and giggles

Ashley was finally tall enough to ride the rides

well not this one but almost all the others.

So they rode...

and rode...

and rode

until their parents were broke :)

There were games

face painting

and treats galore!

I'm pretty sure it was the highlight of the week!

She got it!

Swan Trail Farms

My cousin got married this weekend at a beautiful venue in Snohomish called Swan Trail Farms. I tried to snap a few photos of the girls....as you can see they are only somewhat accommodating to my photography demands these days and are coming up with their own poses. I guess I will take what I can get :)

First Day of School

And they are off...first day of preschool for Ashley and first day of kindergarten for Ella. Looking forward to a great year!
