Better Late Then Never...

Mothers Day

We had a great get together for Mother's Day this year which included my mom, great grandma, brother as well as Steve's mom and grandpa. Quite the crew- let me tell you!

Both mom's and Grandmie enjoyed their gifts! 

My mom and Steve's grandpa took one of the CUTEST pictures I have seen in quite some time... I just had to share!

After a yummy meal, exchanging gifts and lots of chatting, we took some time to take a bunch of family snapshots.
 

Wonderful Mom's, Grandparents, Delicious food--if I do say so myself--great conversations, and lots of wonderful pictures to capture the memories of Mothers Day 2010.

Sushi Night!

We finally got the gang together, this past Saturday (May 8th), after far too much time! And to our surprise, Chris- Kara's husband- offered to have us over for a sushi lesson/meal. Steve was quite surprised about this, but took it head on like a champ!

Steve taking a stab at making a sushi roll, with a few pointers, it turned out great!

He was a bit nervous to try it, but in the end I think he enjoyed it! Who knows if he'll eat it again, but at least he had a good time!

In the meantime, Jake-Whitney's husband- made quite a few sushi rolls, let's just say-- he likes to make sure the appearance would be considered customer worthy!

Great job Jake! Oh, but he didn't stop there, he tried--and succeeded-- in making an inside out sushi roll!

We also had Sake!

Combine all of this with cute dishes, great conversation a few adult beverages and you've got yourself a great night with great friends!

Day Date

Sunday started off with a nice drive, just Steve and I, up Larch Mtn. for a shooting date.

We're so madly in love! ♥

It was a great mini-getaway for us. We had the opportunity to enjoy each others company, spend some time in the fresh air and laugh at my shooting skills. Unconventional dates are the best! Thanks babe!

Putting Things to Rest

After a LOOOOOOONG 12 weeks working a Long-Term Sub Job, Friday April 30th, I finally put that job to rest. It was a great learning experience and I wouldn't have traded all that I was taught and taught for the world. Thank you Monica for having your baby!!

Weekends in our opinion go by WAAAAAAAAAAY too fast! Steve has Sunday's and Monday's off, so as a treat to myself, this weekend I took Monday off with him... And now we are putting our weekend to rest. We thought we had our bed sold (didn't turn out to be the correct size as the couple had wanted... should I be checking Steve's Craig's List posts??) Kind of a bummer, but when it's meant to be it'll happen. Spent a quality date day up on the mountain shooting, got our errands all taken care of, and even had time to relax with a movie (which is nearly unheard of in our life).

Steve is currently at his Monday evening ritual-- drill for the fire district... My motherly duties are officially completed, dogs have been tucked in and put to rest for the night...

As I listen to them snore already (yes it usually only takes a few moments) it is time to grab a good book and curl up to read (something that is also a bit unheard of in my life lately) while I await the arrival of my cuddle buddy. ♥
