Appleblossom 2009

I'm finally getting the pics from Appleblossom on here. Here they are:

We have a new pond!

Best part of going home!

Jana and I made rasberry balls

It was fun...

They were reeeaally gross. But still fun!

We got henna tattoos. And then had to walk around like this in the rain...

Cute puppy dog!

Eastmont! Watching is way better than marching!

To the night and back

Luke and I had a very adventurous Friday after we got out of classes. We went hiking (in flip flops) at Lake Easton after lunch. As soon as we got on the road Luke's friend Henry called him and told him we had to come say goodbye before he left the next morning (He just got married and him and his new wife are going down to CA to live near the Marine base before he goes to Afghanistan). So after our little hike we headed to Cle Elum so I could see where Luke is going to live and work this summer for his internship. After stopping in Ellensburg for something to eat we headed to Waterville. We helped them pack everything in the truck and hung out for a few hours (I met a lot of family--Henry's family is basically Luke's second family. They're very close). On our way back we stopped at my house to sit in the hottub and didn't get back to Ellensburg until 1...then we went to Jack in the Box. Thank goodness places are open late. I thought it was going to be a really boring Friday. Surprise adventures are the best!

Here are some pics from Lake Easton:

This is how every single one of my clases were today.

Jen's baby shower

Jen's baby shower was yesterday. It was a lot of fun! Super good weather (My shoulders got really burnt but it turned into a tan the next day so it's ok). Here are some pics:

Jen posing for the camera!

Playing the diaper game!

Bubbles!

Everyone blowing bubbles!

Opening presents! This baby is going to have a LOT of clothes.

The best cure for cramps

"Life is a zoo in a jungle"
-Peter De Vries

This has nothing to do with the post but I liked the quote. I was thinking that I have cramps and cramps are part of life, which is where the quote comes in. Anyway, Luke, being the awesome boyfriend he is, randomly got me flowers on probably the most appropriate day ever (considering the cramps), because he is the best boyfriend ever. Aren't they pretty?

Easter Eggs!

Easter was a lot of fun! After Mom and I got back from meeting I dressed up in a pretty new Easter dress and helped her get food ready. We had ham, deviled eggs, fruit salad, and asparagus with cheese sauce. It was yummy. Mom got us all a little Easter gift. Dad and Robert got mentos and Jen, Luke and I got the extra big kiss thingys. After we ate Jen and Luke and I painted Easter eggs. It was a lot of fun. They turned out really pretty.

Pretty eggs! It came with glue and these shiny
sheets which you pressed on the sticky spots
and it gave you the shiny spots.
