MBA GRADUATION AT WSU 5/15/10

After MANY hours of studying, sleepless nights and finding time to balance work, family and life in general, Jeff did it! He got his MBA at WSU and graduated Magna Cum Laude! WAY to go Jeff! Luckily, his commencement ceremony was right here in Vancouver. His 39th birthday was on May 16th, so I decided to do something special...throw him a huge family surprise party! Almost everyone was able to come! Unfortunately, Jeff knew something was up...there was WAY too much baking going on at home and he was outside playing basketball on the morning of his graduation and saw the caravan of cars coming to our house...oh well, it was all worth it in the end. We all wanted to show our love and support to Jeff!

I know you are all thinking it is tacky to use the church building, but I didn't know where else I could feed such a large crowd! It worked out GREAT!

Mother's Day 2010

For Mother's Day in 2010, I wanted to take a walk along the Salmon Creek Trail near our home...it was a beautiful day and a perfect opportunity to spend quality time with my wonderful husband and children! It is one of my favorite places to walk-especially in the fall...
