Weekend With Munchie

I went to San Diego this past weekend to visit with family (the Anderson clan together for the first time in about a year!), particularly my favorite niece, Ashlan (AKA "Munchie"). She is growing by the minute. She is amazing.
"Hi everyone! Look how big I am!"
She is already a tech junkie at 8 months! Here she is worming (almost crawling) her way to my computer.
This face makes my day.
And so does this one.
Looking rrreeeaaalll close! 
Her 'about to cry' face has the opposite affect on us: smiles/laughing at that wrinkled nose and puckering mouth.
Food coma.
She is starting to pull herself up on her own! She gets so excited she starts making faces and rocks the block thingy back and forth (and hence my finger holding it down). 
"'Hey, Auntie, I want your camera!"
I am taller than Uncle Skyler!
Swimming lessons with Grandma!
And it was tears galore...
...and some kicking...
...and more tears. 
Not napping like she was supposed to, but Aunt Jade did not mind. LOVE sweet quiet time together!
Sharing her binkie.
Focusing on her glo animal thingy...
...and proceeding to make out with it.
"I LOVE playing peekaboo!"
And she prefers to sleep spooning with her blanket...
Enjoying a quick ride around the patio.
Look at that face! My sweet Munchie!
"J is for Jade, my favorite aunt!"
"Give me your camera!"
Focus...real...close.
"Going to get you...
...and give you a big, wet kiss (if I can get there...)!"

$3 Coach Bag

I bought this pretty lady for $3 at my local Goodwill! I found this little vintage ivory number from Coach (with all the hallmarks that it is real) buried in a bin. Score! Just needs a little cleaning. And I have already received several compliments on it! Gotta love the Goodwill.

Loggerodeo!

G and I went home to Washington for the 4th of July and we had a wonderful time! It was beyond great to spend time with my family, run into many friends, and just enjoy a sunny 4th in Sedro-Woolley! It was simply perfect!
We do howdy in Woolley too!
One of Dad's favorite parts of Loggerodeo: carnie food
Mom, G, G's sis, her hubby, and Dad checking out the mighty Skagit
I love my Audi (except when I get it serviced...), but this is the perfect Jade ride
Otis attacking the water out of the hose
Ruby and Baker playing tug of war
Skyler entertaining all the pups (land of the little dog)
Otis likes everyone, but he really took to G 
One day I will have a little RV like this and drive it around the world
View from Deception Pass Bridge towards the Puget Sound and Olympics
