Trip to Washington

Flying to Seattle

After living in the Northwest........ I am still facinated with the mts!! This is Mt. Saint Helens.

Mt. Rainer

My favorite..... Mt. Hood in the distance, Mt. Adams in the front.

Alexandra playing with Luke.

FHE with the Millers.... look how excited everyone looks!

Jeff, Alexandra and Elyssa

The Seattle Zoo. These bears were HUGE!!

We spent lots of time here watching the river otters. The spot where the girls are sitting and laying was a heater. The weather was spot on for Seattle....cold and damp!

We watched Elyssa play basketball.... sorry Elys...you had no chance here!

Madison and her bunny....she named it Hannah Montana Yaya.

Playing checkers with Aunt Cheryl.

We thought we were flying home with just a short connection in San Diego..... um no!

Hockey Night

Last week we went to a Grizzley's hockey game with some friends. We had so much fun. The evening was filled with players fighting, junk food, free bright orange tshirts, and a little hockey.

Thanks for the seefood madison! eeew!

Our section was given cans of silly string...this was the highlight of the night.

Kristen and Swain

Our famous pose!

And the token fight!

Winter Fun!

Alexandra and Madison

Go Utes!

Madison quickly found something more fun to do.

Going down the hill backwards. Madison told me the other day.....she is afriad of nothing.

Things are winding down and back to normal around here. Somewhat...... The girls are off track right now. We have a few vacations planned this month...however I don't even want to think about getting on another plane. Oh vey!! Yesterday I had a spring fever moment. We went out to dinner and it was a little warm....with a breeze. It really felt like mid march. Oh how I love the spring. I cant wait to get my hands in the dirt and start planting my flower beds this year. I think I will hire a landscaper to help me this year. I think I do a good job without one.....but you know they have to be award winning. Here comes the Martha out in me. You know she really doesn't do it by herself....she has a team behind her.
