jake was so cute~we looked over and he had befriended an old lady in front of him...just like when he was little~he could always talk to anyone.  i love that about him!

hey, lis, is that your sexy look?

the happy faces of being in lynden...some because they get to live there, others because they get to visit...all because we get to be TOGETHER!!

BLUE SKIES!!! 

the whole first week i was there with the 3 younger ones it was freezing!  no really, seriously cold!  like jackets cold!  but the 2nd week was beautiful

we bought a 'few' things at target but were parked on the other side of the mall so i suggested that we bring the cart thru the mall.  well, 'only canadians do that!'  they said they didn't want to be seen with me if i was going to do that.  so what?  they're your friends that shop here, not mine.  i guess i have a little bit of my dad in me not caring what other people think...if it's practical, do it.  guess what?  they walked with me, and even went into american eagle with me...and the shopping cart (which, by the way, they put THEIR stuff on while we were shopping.  go figure)

oh to be 18 and carefree again...

a little bit of my nephew sam's humor found in the mailbox. you have to know him to think this is funny. he is funny. very funny. think of the children! 

view from traci's house...every angle has an amazing view!

(see this pic of her house at night here)

the kids slept in tents some of the time...and tim and lisa even stayed here in the trailer so they could be close even though they live only 5 minutes away.  thanks guys, we loved that!!

we got a rental car from hawaii...some guy on the highway even rolled down his window and yelled to us to ask us how we got the car here.  oh, brother!
