Hello Tuesday...Sleepy

Sleepy, but happy at 5:40am...

One of the cool trinkets we will be giving the kiddos for Intel's Kids Day.

K

Pretty cool, huh?

Still have lots of raffle tickets to sell...

Good times at OOTW...

Rainy December day in Oregon...Out Of This World Pizza is the place to be. Met up with Amanda, Jen and their kiddos for a few hours inside...love that we live so close and can just hang out and not worry about the kiddos going anywhere!

Olivia, Charlie & Noelle

Sweet Ashlyn and her mama Amanda

Yes, Jen really did take Tyler down the big red slide...

Tyler, he's the man!

Winterhawks in the house....

Intel house that is...we gave out over 350 tickets today...it was a FUN day!   We had four of the Hawks at the Aloha Campus today.  They were SO polite and SO quiet, painfully quiet...they were great signing pennants and talking to employees.

Winterhawks and our awesome volunteers!!!

Hawks and our friend "celebrity" Jerry Bell!

Hmm...what are they wearing on their hands I wonder?  :-)

Start of the line....it actually got longer, then under control.

The 3 Coolios....

Their "Coolio" pose for Dean on Saturday...

Face painting at school...oh boy!

I really wasn't planning a bath for her tonight, might just do a facial scrubbing...

Yeah...we made it to San Diego...

1,131 miles and a day and half later, we have ARRIVED!

The cousins are all happy....can't wait Disneyland, California Adventure and spending two nights at the Grand Californian are first up over the next few days!










































































Jack has just a few Legos...

Thank you Intel...

Fun times at Bullwinkle's this morning. My company's GPTW (Great Place To Work) Team rocks!

Multnomah Falls...

After Charlotte's 4-year wellness check, we headed to the gorge. The weather was PERFECT and it wasn't too crowded...I LOVE living in this part of country.

The five cousins...

had a great time together, ALL DAY today!

We'll all be going to church tomorrow morning, then tons of fun back and Nana & Papa's home all day Easter Sunday!

So excited that Dave, Katie, M & C will be moving closer to us soon...yahoo!

Westside Quilter Guild Retreat...

What a wonderful weekend with the Westside Quilters!

Melissa is part of the guild and had invited me to be part of this great weekend!

18 of us spent Friday & Saturday nights at Our Lady of Peace Retreat Center in Beaverton. The meals were YUMMY, the creative goodness was outstanding and the friendship and laughs were the best! ;-) I only knew Melissa before the retreat, I now have 16 more friends that I can't wait to spend more time with...YES, I'm gonna join their guild, even though Monday nights aren't the best for me (they have their guild meetings on Monday nights). Oh and my 6 degrees of Kathy Cina moment...Sue, who has her own on-line quilting shop is married to Wayne who I know and use to work at Intel with me...it's a SMALL Intel world after all....

I've been to a few retreats over the past 15 years (I'm not counting my weekends & Sisters trip with the We Bee Quilters), but this was without a doubt the most fun, relaxing and PRODUCTIVE retreat I've been a part of (even with me leaving for a few hours on Saturday to attend the Easter Egg Hunt).

I personally made 4 Letty's Bags (photos will be a separate post since the bag recipients haven't seen them yet and they do read my blog), one pillow case and more turtle parts...I even sold 3 turtles to 3 of the ladies (100% proceeds going to Relay For Life).

THANK YOU Westside Quilters for a great weekend. A special shout out to Julie, Sue, Shirlene, Darla, Jean, Steve & Sharon from Sharon's Attic and all the rest of you that contributed to the wonderful weekend! I love all the goodies we received..super cool!

Here's all 18 of us outside the main building (while we had a break in the rain this morning)....
