Do you feel that life is just a little busy at the moment? The start of school is always a crazy time but this year it feels a lot crazier than usual for us. It doesn't help that my daughter's 4th grade teacher resigned after three weeks of school! Yikes!
I just returned from a quick trip to San Diego and Sea World with Annabelle. The weather was great, Sea World was a blast (even though I got pooped on twice by seagulls!) and we got to spend time with Michelle and her lovely family. Thanks, Michelle, for a fabulous time.
Oh yes, I also got to meet Helle and her daughter (the winner of our 2007 A-MUSE-A-PALOOZA Grand Prize). So fun!
Here is a picture of Annabelle and I after we rode the Shipwreck Rapids two times in a row... got a little wet! LOL!
Here's Annabelle & Audrey after a yummy treat at Ghirardelli's (mmmm... chocolate!)
Last weekend, my husband and his friend went on a "run" in the Cascade mountains. Most people do this as an overnight hike, but they ran the 19 miles in one day. The scenery looks beautiful but the terrain is definitely challenging. He constantly amazes me with his athletic feats.
Look at this terrain! The picture is blurry (that's my dh's friend) but it is amazing that this was part of their journey. They also had to run with backpacks with emergency stuff - first aid, food, water, shelter, etc.
They had to share the trail with mountain goats - isn't he gorgeous!
Julie's A-MUSE-A-THON of classes began last night and we had such fun! Novell stopped by to help out. Some of you may remember that Jill's card was the winner of our Mother's Day Reader Gallery contest. It was fun to meet her in person. Jill is in the red shirt (between Julie & Novell).
Oh yes, one more bit of EXCITING news! Hailey got a part in the PNB production of the Nutcracker!!! Yay for Hailey!
Stay tuned for more cards from Lexi and some exciting news on New Products we've been working on! Have a beautiful day!
Looks like you ladies had a wonderful time! I am so jealous that you got to spend time in some warm California sunshine :) Though, yesterday was gorgeous around here!!

Hi Linda,
It was so fun to meet you in person, and sweet Anna Belle too.
So glad to hear that Haley got the part in the Nutcracker, she must be so excited.
Looking so forward to the new stamps...
Smiles,
