Sunny Sunriver 09

It was another fabulous time up at Sunriver. I love going there every year! My parents sure do know how to make it memorable. Unfortunately, Nic and I weren't able to head up until Wednesday night - at least we were able to go though. It was well worth it. There was a walk to Benham Falls, bike riding, swimming, eating, park playing, Village shopping, and of course more eating. Sunriver is a great place to relax. Bike riding is always so enjoyable and I love walking around the Village. This is a pic of Nic and me at Benham Falls... My brother Sam and his wife, Nikki are photographers (their website) and they wanted to do some family pictures at Fort Rock Park. Here are Nic and I... My whole family...minus my brother-in-law Jefferson... All in all it was a GREAT trip! It was so fun to spend time with my whole family! I love them all and miss them always! A GINORMOUS THANK YOU to these 2 amazing people... My parents. They have been taking me and my family to Sunriver EVERY Summer for as long as I can remember. They always make it an enjoyable trip every time. My parents sure do know how to have fun. Thank you again for such an amazing time. I love you both! :)

Final

The last bday gift Nic gave me last night was a clear protector for the screen of my MP3 player. No real great pictures to post with it, but I didn't want to leave you hanging. Thank you for all of the wonderful gifts Nic. I love them all. :) You are the best! I love you MORE (and no I'm not lying ;)

Birthday time...again!

The partying/gift giving continues. I would say that I have the most generous, thoughtful hubby around - you can't get much better than Nic. Sorry ladies...Here I am about to open a few more gifts...

Case for my MP3 player!

A North Face backpack! Woo hoo!And there's even 1 more to open....

it's my BIRTHDAY...almost

So it's not quite my birthday, but it really is almost - it's not until July 23. Nic decided to start celebrating a little bit earlier, so last night I got to open 2 of my presents...

Nic and I being our silly selves...

My #1 present...a paper cutter!

I was pointing out the fact that we couldn't find our Scotch tape, so he used duct tape. Love it!

#2 present: a cassette adapter for my MP3 player. Now I don't have to steal Nic's any more.

This is a better pic of us...

Thank you brown eyes for the birthday presents! You are so good to me. :) Let the party begin......

I Love ya Tomorrow!

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow! You're only a day away! Tomorrow brings... Just seeing Brian Regan's face makes me laugh! Nic and I are headed to Portland to spend some time with a few of my siblings. My parents bought us tickets to see Brian Regan. Woo hoo! I have seen him live once, but this is Nic's first time. We are so excited to see the many faces of B. Regan.

Random ???

I want to throw out a random question for all you readers - maybe you can help me... For our Girl's Camp this year, I am the YCL Leader and every year the YCLs have a name. I have put my thinking/creative cap on for a name for them and can't think of a single one. Very frustrating. I threw the question out to the YCLs as well, since it is their name. This year's theme is Be Thou an Example with a sub-theme of Experience the Difference. I was trying to Google groups in history that started with an "ex" word, but not finding anything. Anything will do! If you have any suggestions, feel free to throw them my way...Thanks!

craftiness in a blog

One of my sisters, Summer, has a blog about all of the crafts she does. Right now, she's doing an amazing giveaway (perfect for those of you with little girls): leggings, cards, and clips. Although I don't have a little girl...yet, I still entered to win. Perfect for hopefully a future baby girl I'll have. She is so crafty (both of my sisters are) and I wonder why I didn't get the crafty gene. Go check it out here! She is always blogging about the cutest projects she's doing - I'm actually working on one she did (FHE jar). Keep checking out all of her craftiness in a blog!
