All About MEme Monday: I've Never

Joining the mayhem.... my first time to play along. MEme Monday!













I've NEVER ... 5 Things (or more or less)
that distinguish YOU from the crowd.

(join the fun with MommyBrain and SupahMommy )

I've Never...

1. I've Never... had a tattoo and have never had a desire to get one. But I have pierced my eyebrow & bellybutton. The eyebrow thing did not last long but wanted to try somthing different in college.

2. I've Never... watched a scary movie, well not the whole movie. I always plug my ears and cover my eyes during the scary part. I can't watch it.

3. I've Never... ate a Dick's Hamburger. I really want to... but I do not like the taste of ketchup, mustard, relish and mayonnaise, it just makes me want to gag. I've been like this forever. I was the only kid that hated McDonald's because they could not make a hamburgers without the condiments. But I love Dick's french fries and chocolate milkshakes!

4. I've Never... been able to dance. I tried but I have No rhythm. You will never see me out on the dance floor (unless a lot of drinking is involved). I was even in ballet for 10 years... and hated every minute of it. One day I told my ballet teacher how much I hated it and she kicked me out of class. That was the best day of my "young" life. After that I joined every sport team I could find.

5. I've Never...been able to sing. Singing is just not my thing. I have no tone, no rhythm and I my tongue is too big. Also can't stand up for that long, I get dizzy singing and feel like I'm going to faint.

It's now your turn :) What have you never done???

Miss Marika’s Music Class

Festival of Salmon

Today we enjoyed our first Salmon Days in Historic Issaquah. Apparently this is a VERY popular event. We ran into lots of friends and it was no surprise because I think everyone in Sammamish/Issaquah area was there today. Tons of kids and PREGNANT woman everywhere! Maybe I just notice pregnant people now but they sure seemed to be out in full force today. First we went to watch the salmon swimming in the river, then we ate some well done egg rolls but the highlight for Morgan was the free train ride around the parking lot! Good toddler fun. Wish we had more time to explore but nap time was calling.

Farewell to Summer Tea Party

Happy 60th Birthday Grandma!

Brownie Pops

Morgan and Mom are baking some yummy treat for Grandma's 60th Birthday party this weekend. Morgan approves! Thanks Nova for the great idea. The finished pictures will be posted in a few days.

Guess who is going to be a BIG SIS soon?

Yes, it's true. Morgan is going to be a big sister in April. We have a long road ahead of us but we are so excited.

PJs, Popcorn and a Projector

Yesterday the sun surprised us with a beautiful afternoon so we invited a few friends over for a movie under the stars. This year we did it with the kids! We setup a tent for the little ones to play in and let the kids stay up past dark for a Disney classic. The kids danced the night away in their Pjs, eating popcorn as they watched Aladdin. After bedtime the adults stayed up to see aliens attack in the cheesy scifi Independence Day. I am going to miss summer!
