One last Quad trip & Harvest Fest

What is it about sunflowers that just speak fall!! I'm not sure why....but I sure love these big beautiful blossoms!! Jaycee took this photo with my new camera at Terry's Berries in Puyallup.

 We loaded up the quads and headed off to Eastern Wa, to Moses Lake. It's about 3 hours from our house...and the dunes are great with lots of trails! We only took 3 quads this time, because Jaycee was being responsible and stayed home to babysit and go to her friends birthday party. 

 The sand was soooo soft, we barely pulled off the road...and we got stuck. So that's where we parked our motorhome till we left! But then it took about an hour to get us out!! With some digging and a good samaritan in a jeep who had a 30 ft rope....we got out!! Steve ended up pulling us out with his motorhome, because the jeep was a 6 cylinder and didn't even budge!! Whew...close one this time! We do have triple A on our motorhome, but didn't really want to call them if we didn't need to!!

 We had to unhook the trailer to get un-stuck!!

 Kevin showing Tanner how to pop a wheelie on his own quad...except...not like that!!!!

Tanner really prefered riding Kevin's quad. He rode very well too, to say the least!! He loves the power and says he can pop wheelies so good on Dad's quad!! I think we're in trouble!!! May be time for a bigger quad!! He liked riding my Honda too, but of course, Dad's was the BEAST!!!

Kev loves relaxing after a long ride at the dunes. We bring these reclyner's everywhere we go in the motorhome for that very reason!! I love taking the motorhome out and camping with friends!! The Hawkins and Harvard's came along, and the weather was great for us!! Unlike the last time we got caught in the middle of a rain/wind storm at Moses lake!! We prefer this weather for sure!!

Pages 4 and 5!! I'm almost through September...I'm having fun documenting the day to day, and trying to remember to pick up the camera more often again!!!! I got a new camera body and lens...it's a EOS 60D, and it takes AMAZING pictures!! Although these two were taken with my phone, just because it's easier!!

Off to say Family Prayer and get kids to bed!! 

I Started PROJECT LIFE!

I was totally inspired to start this way of scrapbooking from Shaylin and my friend Sharon. Not that I hadn't ever seen this idea before...I just knew that I liked doing double pages in 12 x 12 format, and I wouldn't like this new way! Well I was WRONG!! I decdided that I could still scrapbook the same way and do this too!! This way of scrapbooking is for my Family album, and will include our everyday living...then I can still scrapbook events for the other albums. I want to keep this Project Life caught up though...that's my goal! So I started with September of this year!! And I'm LOVING it!!

My first page in project life.

I love it when I get to see my grandkids and kids posts on facebook, because I can print them out for my project life....a fun way to include more of my family in my albums!!!So onward I go with this new challenge to keep updated with my Family album!! Sure happy I finally caught on to this new wave of scrappin!!
