Christmas Day 2008

Sorry Mom, I know you hate it when I have hair in my face!

Since we decided not to travel, we spent the day among Church Family, first Beth and Nathan, and their kiddos, and then for dinner the Baker/Molitor/Malone clan took good care of us!

COOKIES!

Oh Snap!

Home Made Ginger Snaps

Mini Sugar Cookies

Impossible to ice; but isn't the penguin cute?

Snowflake Shortbread
Note to self: Shortbread works best with holly or stars or circles.
Snowflakes lose arms.


Iced Sugar Cookies, Ginger Snaps, Mini S.C.'s,
Holly-Leaf Shortbread and Green Wreath Spritz Cookie

It was icy and cold outside, so I decided to have a cookie party all on my own. Jer played his Xbox and we watched "Christmas Vacation" while I rocked the kitchen with my mad cookie baking skillz.

Independence Day Parade

We attended the parade in Kirkland. My favorite group was the Unicycle Group who attatched antenea to their helmets and rode under a banner that read: Happy 4th of July Earthlings. Just cute!!

Father's Day

Mom and Dad came up for Father's day

we took the Ferry over to Bainbridge Island

and realized, it is the Snobby Island. Vashon is much more friendly!

Carley Rose, Our littlest friend

When Jer and I first started "trying" our friends Beth and Nathan were working on their second child. They had better success than we did! Their Little Girl Carley was born and I was the second person to visit her in the hospital and I was there when they decided that her name was definately "Carley Rose" Jer and I have been crazy about her ever since! And her Big Brother Gavin is very cool also!

Eric and Cheryl Malone

It was the first and last 80 degree day of the spring. It was beautiful, as though God were smiling upon our friends who were gettng married that day. I made the Cake Topper, not bad huh??

Because February in Seattle Sucks, and I Turned 30

So we went to Kaua'i, Hawai'i

Roosters Everywhere!

Kelley Turns 30

Yep. I did indeed turn 30 and my husband and my friends threw me a surprise luau!

Happy 2008!

Another New Year! This was the year of the great Seattle Fireworks disaster, in which the fireworks malfunctioned due to a computer crashing. Yes, in the land of Microsoft, computers can still wreck a good fire works show!
