Here we go

As of right now I'm on vacation. I left work today at noon, and now I'm getting stuff ready for when Jason gets home (as you can see I'm really getting stuff done). For the most part we're ready. I just need to get the bathroom bag finished and then get the truck loaded up. I'm so ready for this trip. I still can't believe our one year anniversary is on Monday. WOW times goes by fast! I better go get shit done. I hope you all have a great weekend. I'll post pictures when we get back ♥

Paintball war this weekend

This Sunday my dad is having a paintball war at his house. Jason will be attending. It's been a while since they've had a paintball war, so everyone is really excited. My dad has the Walla Walla river running through some of his property and they love to play down there. It's really a great place to play because it's covered with trees and there's some really great places to hide. Jason got all the gear last year for his birthday, so he's ready to go. I'm going to go out there and get some pictures of the boys in action. This weekend is suppose to be in the low 90's, and I couldn't be more ready for it.

April showers

I took this photo late April, and I forgot about it until I

was loading pictures onto the computer.

The rainbow was awesome ♥

Balloom Stampede 2008

The weekend went fast. We all had a blast, and now it's time to get the coffee pot ready for the morning and get lunches packed for lunch. Tomorrow is Monday, and yes that sucks but for me it's just one day closer to our Seattle trip. So yes I dread Monday, and yes I do not want it to come, but inside my excitement is growing for that final workday before our 4 day weekend. We had a blast at the balloon stampede. Spent $40.00 on junk and food and called it good. Jason and I bought ourselves a WII and spent all weekend playing it with my sister Josie. We got Mario Kart, and it has a steering wheel you play with and it's a blast. I'm already addicted and I've only played it a short while. My sister left today (Sunday), and Jason and I went out to my dad's house and had a Mother's Day lunch with my Wmom. It was a good day. Kinda windy but not to bad. I hope everyone had a great weekend ♥
Being blown upWaiting their turn This is the Wild Horse Casino balloon, and I liked it because it had the fake feathers hanging off

Once they start launching they are on a race to find the X. Someone places and X in between Dixie and Waitsburg and the people in the balloons are trying to find the X and then they have to land right on top of the X, if no one lands on it the person closest to the X wins.

This was the first time I've ever seen a balloon shaped like this, he had some trouble getting up but once he got her up, she was soaring. I'm not fond of this balloon, but that is just because I love the traditional balloon. Jason likes this balloon, but I think it's just because I don't...

My mother in law helps with this event every year and she was telling me that the guys she helps (she told me his name, but I can't remember) makes his own balloons and he weaves his own baskets. Now I'm not sure I trust my weaving skills enough to hold my ass up in the air that high up :]

If you didn't get to enjoy the Balloon Stampede this year, I hope you make it next year

Joe's coming down tomorrow

Have to do a quick post, I just found out my sister is coming down tomorrow. She's coming down to go to the balloon stampede. She has not been since she was 5-6, so it will be exciting for us all. I'm so excited now, must get cleaning the house.

It's been a while......"Since I could hold my head up high"

Getting excited for the hot air balloons this weekend. They will start launching tomorrow at 6:30 and will launch all weekend. Were going to go down early Saturday morning with the Nicks Family and watching the balloons, then we'll hit up the "junk"-per the husband- stands and get us some fair food....YUMMIE! Our Seattle trip is coming up and I'm getting excited for it. I'm in so need of a break, I can feel myself getting worn down. I'm being positive though, and keeping good vibes going because I know it could always be worse (and I do have a mini vacation coming up in oh like 14 days :) Jason told me that he wanted to go to the zoo, so we're going to do that. We're also going to go to Pike Place, and all those museums that are down there. I was thinking of going to the Space Needle but we have dinner reservations on our actual wedding anniversary at White House Crawford, so I don't think we're going to do the Space Needle. By the way, our one year wedding anniversary is coming up in 18 days.......18 DAYS, OMG!! That year went by REALLY fast, and that's just scares the jeeba's out of me!! Hope you all are having awesome weather and hope you have a kick ass weekend ♥
