Maiden Voyage

Brayden and Becky never used the green canoe - it was just taking up space in their garage....so when we came down they offered the canoe to us.  Brayden was nice enough to help us take it out for a test run on the river.  She stayed afloat - always a good trait with a boat!  So we decided to keep her!  Now for a name...we discussed, brain stormed, and still haven't got a name nailed down yet...but we have some good possibilities in the running....green bean, green giant, THE green bullet, hopefully by next summer we will have her named and then she will be officially part of the family!

During our trip to Tri-Cities, Preston opened one of Max and Dane's toys that had candy inside and Erica ate it. So as soon as we got home, Preston went to Hobby lobby, bought them new lollipops and made this card...(Max and Dang...gotta love what kids think things are!)  It worked out nicely because we were in Tri-Cities for the weekend, but Becky had a few days off mid week - so they came up to Spokane for a few days to hang out, so Preston was able to give the card to them when they came up!   I love living so close to family!!!  Have I mentioned that yet??  SO MUCH FUN!!!
