GIRLS TRIP TO SEA-TOWN!!!
 This trip was awesome!  I love this city...I love these ladies....I love girl time! Here are some of the pics from this year's adventure.  My favorite times were those that weren't caught on film; it feels so good to laugh so hard that it hurts:)  Thanks ladies.

Lunch at the Needle

 Pike:)

 Gum Wall

 Deception Pass

Seattle Temple

 This lady took our picture outside the temple and happened to have her genealogy (rolled up like a scroll) dated back all the way to Adam and Eve.  Cool.

 Mariners! 

Snoqualmie Falls

 A snail I took a picture of for my girls :)

IT IS FINALLY HERE!

It has been  very long wait for Brooke's 4th birthday:) That poor girl thought it would never come.  But it did and she is officially big.  She got her bike and loves her "cool seat".  She enjoyed putting it together with her dad and felt very important all day.

We were going to have her party at the park but the weather was unreliable so we moved it last minute to our house which meant that I ran around trying to get beach/dolphin decorations but it all worked out fine.  The kids ran around and we played a couple outdoor games.

The pinata was a hit ;) (pun intended).
We came inside for cake and presents and then...GOT OUT THE BUBBLE MACHINE!

Never before have I heard so much happiness coming from our yard!  Those were some happy little people running around.    At the end of the day Brooke fell asleep with a smile.   Happy birthday sweet Brooke!

Happy B-Day Claire

Claire is 1!
