Old Friends New Memories!

Our good friends Jon and Helen that we met while going to school down in K Falls came to visit us last weekend. We had a great time! Helen and I got to work on a quilt for another good friend of ours who is having a baby soon and it felt so good to get back behind the machine again!! We just talked and sewed and well watched five kids. . .but it was real nice. We had a BBQ while they were here which was fun but I had lost my camera or it mysteriously disappeared somehow. . .(ahem ,Jakob)but anyway till Sunday when we decided to take a day trip or a sun trip as Jakob would call it to Walla Walla for the day. ( Jon and Helen are looking for jobs around here they like the area and there were job openings in walla walla so we went to check out the town). We got lunch at the Ice burg and then took it to the park to eat too bad it was like 105 degrees outside so we were all hot and pretty much miserable but we made the best of it. The boys had to play ball of course! And then the ice cream man came with the loudest music I have ever heard one play before we almost had to break out the earplugs but the kids were hot and so were we so we splurged for some 25cent Popsicles to help cool us down.
I LOVE POPSICLE FACES!!!!!








Rob and I shared one how romantic right? I took this picture of Ann and i love it she is so cute!! The last time I saw her was a year ago she loved me from the first minute she walked in the door and so naturally I fell in love back she like the girl I never had!!! Plus I get to spoil her and not deal with the diapers and all that other stuff.






After we ate our Popsicles we went to see the birds they have all kinds of birds and the kids loved to see them. It was so hot we didn't get to see many of them but it was fun!Of course we couldn't leave until Jakob found his feather.

Happy birthday Robin!!!!! It's funny..just yesterday I thought that it was too bad that I didn't have your email address or your blog to wish you a happy birthday, and today, as luck would have it, Channel, who has you linked to her blog, commented on my wife's blog. So, Happy birthday buddy. I hope I can visit the Tri-Cities again and hang out with you guys again. It was fun.
