 The hubby and I have gotten to do some traveling in our little airplane the last 4 weeks.
 We had the chance to fly to Southern Colorado, for a family reunion.
 As you can see, I spend most of my time taking pictures from the air =)
 It calms my nerves.
 My mom lives in Pagosa Springs Colorado, where we all convened for a fun long weekend together.
 Liam received his first haircut from me while we were there.

Our reunions are pretty small, so we try to get a group photo while we are all together. My nephew Cooper took these! He did an awesome job!
 We also celebrated Liams 1st Birthday! My stepdad has a small train and tracks that go around their yard, so he took all the kids for rides!
 Leaving Pagosa Springs the air was full of smoke from several wild fires.
 Somewhere near Moab Utah
 Getting close to home.
 It was a fun 10 days, but glad to be home.
 Koko still doesn't really like to fly much. Ha!
 We were home for a few days then headed to Reno for a few days for Liams official 1st Birthday party!
 Mimi and papa bought him a sand box! I think he likes it =)
 Genna did an awesome job preparing for the party! She even made Liams cake (the block) and cupcakes!
 Liam ate his cake so delicately it was adorable.
Uncle Adam came too!
Then we headed for home sweet home =)

 We took a little time over the long weekend to take a couple little flights. Friday morning we flew to Port Townsend for breakfast.
 It was a gorgeous morning, the start of a beautiful day!
 We made great time with the tail wind! We usually average about 104, as you can see we were going 140!
We tore up the back yard the rest of the day. Saturday the hubby had to fly all day for work so I cleaned house... ugh! Well, you gotta do it sometimes I guess. When the hubby was done he surprised me with dinner in Friday Harbor! So off we went, with three other couples and 2 other planes!
 Again a gorgeous flight!
 And the water... gah! LOVE!
 Friday Harbor is such an adorable little town, the ferry comes in frequently.
 Lots of fun little shops, it is a short walk into town from the airport which is nice after a big dinner and a trip to the ice cream parlor for dessert =)
 Unfortunately sunset was blocked by clouds... but the color on Mt. Baker was a pretty pink.
Perfect!

Flying, flowers and bunnies

 The hubby and I finally had an opportunity to go flying this afternoon!
 It was a gorgeous day for it too! My first trip up in the plane this year. I was a bit nervous... it had been 6 months since I flew in our little plane. It was down for it's annual, then received a new paint job. (You can see the daffodil fields off in the distance :))
 I forgot to take my camera! Gah! So, luckily I had my phone... not the best pictures, but that's okay.
 Photo op! Hehe! We flew to a nearby airport and had lunch, yes cheeseburgers ha! $100 cheeseburgers anyone?!
 Then flew back home, right over the daffodils. The tulips are almost ready to bloom. They will be gorgeous next weekend if the sun stays.
 The last few days have been warmer and sunny, just what I needed to get my behind outside! I made a visit to my favorite garden store and purchased some plants and little bunnies. Then planted up some Easter baskets.
The little iron bunny almost looks like a chocolate bunny!
 I found these great striped pots at Lowes, thought they would be cute planted up with a little bunny for a few friends.
 I think I have a thing for bunnies! But I couldn't leave this one behind ;)
 I have a friend with a thing for purple.
 Another friend likes blue;)
 I made up a few Easter cards to accompany the pots.
I hope they enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them.

Wishing you all a Happy Easter! Enjoy every moment!

Enjoying a Saturday with my hubby!


 Last weekend the hubby and I took advantage of a beautiful sunny Saturday and flew to Orcas Island. It happened to be a perfect day to go, the Farmers Market was in full swing!
 We wandered through the small coastal town shops,

 did a little antiquing,
 I snapped quite a few pictures.




 We picked up a brochure from here, I would love, love love to stay here one weekend ;)
 We walked on the small beach.

 Dreamed of coming back to share dinner or even better breakfast,
 with this gorgeous view to enjoy!

 Walked the wood sidewalks, with the white picket fences and tons of flowers all around.
 Peeked into more shops,
 enjoyed gelato!

 Then flew home across the beautiful blue waters,
 looking for whales,
It was a perfect day with my hubby!
