A Sunny Weekend...

Could this weather get any better? We enjoyed the weekend very much mostly outdoors! Unfortunately, Brian worked most of the day Saturday!
On Friday, we ventured out to Juanita Beach in Kirkland for a dinner picnic! The kids had so much fun in the sand and walking around. There was a cute little Farmer's Market, and a vocalist singing children's songs! It was a GORGEOUS evening...

Something a little fun I found for myself!

So Saturday was rather eventful for us...we went to Target (all 4 of us)...and when we started driving away from Target, we realized we didn't have our beloved "Bobby!" As shown below. I turned around and went back inside. I looked everywhere...and I think most people were wondering what was wrong with me...as I was staring at ground level most of the time! After about 15 minutes and no luck...I ventured up to the customer service desk with intentions to leave my name & number in hopes that they would find him! As I'm describing characteristics of Bobby (old, grubby, Cougar, markers, etc.) to a very young, handsome employee...I spot Bobby behind the counter...you would have thought there was a celebrity there...I was so excited. The poor kid really thought I had lost it. Luckily the lady next to me was sympathizing with me as she must have been through the loss of a "lovey!" This was our lucky day, night, week...who knows what our future days would have been like with the loss of Bobby...our beloved little WSU Cougar!

After church on Sunday, we went to Kelsey Creek Farm! The kids enjoyed seeing some animals and playing!

Last Day of Sport Sampler!

Today was our last day of Sports Sampler! It has been an interesting 9 weeks of soccer, T-ball, & basketball! Colden's favorite was T-ball!

So proud!

We are so proud of you Colden!

A New Blog...

So after much debate, I've decided to change my blog up a bit. We have a Mac and love it, however their blog program is not too exciting and I need a little more excitement!

I've learned through looking at other blogs that I don't have to just post "events" going on in our life...but rather I can just post a thought or random stuff happening, and there doesn't even have to be a picture!! I believe this blog will help me do that!

While I'll focus on my family, I'm going to try to add more about myself as a Mommy, Friend, Wife, Daughter, Sister etc. I love life and I'm so thankful I can share it with those who care!

To explain, "Tip Toe in the Tulips..." there isn't much to explain other than I love tulips and I wanted to be a bit more creative beyond, "Atkins Family!"

Be patient as I'm learning the curves, but I'm confident I'll enjoy this! I hope you will too! If you want to see the old blog, you can still view it here (copy & paste into your browser):
