Littlest Pet Shops are Taking over my House

Jessie loves Little Pet Shops, she has been getting them for the past couple of years for birthdays and Christmas... until last week.

Aunt Nikki hit the motherload. She found about 50 bizillion of them at a garage sale for $6.00! When Jessie opened the box, her eyes about fell out of her head.

She has spent the last few days setting them all up in a row, taking them down, and starting all over again. She is in awe of them, it's so cute! Thanks Aunt Nikki, we love you :D

Mark has been...

in the past month:

Running a half Marathon. The Helvetia Half Marathon's course is right out here by our house, it is 13.1 miles out in the country. Mark and Kasey ran it and did great! You guys are awesome :D

Catching fish, and they are actually big fish! I know, you were all starting to doubt Mark and his fishing abilities. He can catch a big one, this is a Steelhead Salmon caught on the Washougal River in Washington.

Making a wood surfboard. He and Kasey are each making one, they are going to be really cool.

Cutting off his fingers. While cutting out wood for above surfboard on our tablesaw, he tried to cut off his middle finger and had to get 3 stitches. Ouch! I know, you love me for sharing a picture of it!

Mark: He loves to keep it interesting.
