my purty new seat!!

We got the bike back today and it looks great!..my new seat looks so comfy, I can hardly wait for the temperature to rise enuf to go for a ride!!..It is my favorite thing to do on a nice day- I really miss it!

getting ready !!

Still thinking of Spring..and getting our Harley ready for warmer weather!!
Our bike had a couple of recalls that needed done,and our tour pack needed to be installed, so the Harley shop came and picked it up.

Our Christmas gift to each other was the tour pack, which is a nice comfy seat back for me that is attached to a little hard "trunk" for when we go on longer trips that involve staying over night..will be handy too, for scrapbook shopping while on the road!..(altho Im sure Roger will be thrilled to hear that!!)

our new look in our living room

This is the first room we have done over in our new style,out with the country and in with the "Pottery Barn" look...sleeker and more modern, yet warm and comfy!..our walls are actually dark cocoa brown, big difference from off white!..we spend way more time in the room now, we love it!!

finally feeling better!

I started feeling icky Friday night, coughed all night...at least Roger and I had spent the day together by going on a road trip to Bellingham. He needed some things for his guitars, and I love to go to Treasury of Memories-so it was a fun day!!..the rest of my 4 day weekend was spent on the sofa or in bed. Bronchitis-ICK!! But am finally feeling better..cough syrup with codiene is my new friend!!...I got out of the house for a little while today and got a pedicure...kind of funky, but fun!..too bad it is too cold for sandals..it will be my little secret!!

happy valentine's day!

I woke up to the sweetest things..Roger got me plants and balloons and Starbucks cups..2 sets of gifts, even 2 cards- when I asked him what the meaning of that was- he said, check the cards...he had written 2007 on one and 2008 on the other.
We were seperated this time last year, so he wanted to make up for missing Valentine's Day ...so sweet to think of that!!..he already told me to order the navigation system for my car, so I was happy knowing it was on it's way!...I never would have imagined we would be together and happy, this time last year..yay cupid!!(and God)

sharing a little love

I always like to do little gifts or fun things for my preschoolers for holidays or occasions. My favorite little project for Valentine's day was to take a box of conversation hearts and put each child's picture in the little window on the box,laminate it and make it into a magnet- well the last couple of years they reformatted the boxes and the window is too small to put a pic in...so for this year I just did pics of each child and had a heart frame done over it at Costco...add a little ribbon and voila, my valentine to each child and a keepsake for their mom.Not as cute as the other project, but I think they will be liked!

Happy Birthday Ethan!

Ok,it's official- when your youngest child turns 20-youre old!!..It is so hard to believe that he is no longer in his teens!..we went out to dinner last night at Red Robin, it is our tradition that the birthday boy gets to choose where we go.
Trevor couldnt make it since he was sick, so we enjoyed spending some time with just Ethan. Afterwards we came home and had cheesecake and opened gifts and 3 of his friends came over to help celebrate.Happy Birthday Son!!..love you!
