Picture archives

I was cleaning out my archives and found some cute pictures that never made it online:


Baby Vienna at Bob and Mary's 40th anniversary party.


Brent and Dane at Lake Chelan last summer.


Me and Elaine at the Camp Corey benefit at the old Carnation Farms.


My niece's baby Lorelei.


This one is really old, but thought it was so cute!

Art Class

The kids had their first art class on Wednesday at The Fred Oldfield Center and Fred himself dropped in to instruct! They painted horses and cowboys of course!

Fred Oldfield Western and Wildlife Art Show

The kids had a great time talking to the various artists and learning about the different techniques and styles. Their favorite was an elderly wood carver that reminded me of my grandpa...overalls and all. They had a small buffet there and these pics were taken of the kids enjoying a food break.

"Art Circle"

Famous Dave's

It was the school fundraiser night last night at Famous Dave's. We ate BBQ and got waited on by the vice principal and Madeleine's second grade teacher...the kids thought that was a hoot!

A Day at Karshner Museum

We played dress up and pretended to be pioneers!

"The camera is out here...."

So, Mary and Elaine and the girls were up over the weekend and the kids were putting on shows of dance routines they had put together. Mary got inspired and decided to get up and direct a dance routine with them to "Clocks" by Coldplay...which is her new favorite song and has been Dane's favorite since it came out a few years ago...anyway, as they were dancing around Mary began to lead them into a circle through the other room...this is when Madeleine shouted out..."Wait Grandma! Where are you going?! The camera is out here!"...a true star at heart! LOL
