Shopping for a dress for Maria's wedding - found 2 dresses in a size six that fit ! So I celebrated by eating a piece of cake- oh yeah not a 6 any more 

Leah's work

I have the best coworkers ! Really love what I do and who I work with:) these individuals make what I do easier. Here we are Yo ( Yolanda) and scott. 

My birthday Julie's and Yo's !celebrated together at brunch- Yo and her husband Dick - he is quite funny

Thinking I need bangs? Love the group 

My night with the kids

Here is the best view of what the house looks like less than five mins after we arrived! Hurricane hunter blew through in a blink of an eye!

Love these kids very inventive- imaginative- all though slightly wild. We had a good time while Aimie was at her 20 yr reunion. Auggie 3 with his love for the vacuum. Other two running around cleaning up. Nate talks about this trip often as they are genuinely nice children.

Coach Leah

I was asked to fill in for the soccer coach during her vacation! Here is s pic of the girls from our first day together. Since I know very little about soccer we did  a lot of conditioning :) needless to say the next two practices we had a lot of no shows

Lauren's 16 bday

My children :) so happy and blessed

Great pic of the size difference between the girls

Here it is, grandmas butt! Always joked I was going to inherit it! As an adult I love to have any connection :) joining my mom on the ranks and hoping Hollie will embrace her butt as well!

Hollie can think about her fan fiction ( specific) writing style) and throw rocks for hours

Nate loves to throw rocks too

16 today ! Took her to Alki for the day

Nate 2 yrs old

Her favorite pose! She is beautiful

While we were there we saw a seagull pluck a fish from the water. Peck the fish til it stopped moving then all the seagulls flew away with me wondering hmm that's odd? Well then this huge eagle comes in! It was very cool 

Lauren family party

Lauren is now 16 ! We celebrated with family at our house in Fife. Nana, Opa, Papa, and family friends Robbi and Clay with their kids Alexa and ryan were there. Lauren loves to help bake cakes and we chose to try a pink lemonade cake this time. Probably would have turned out better had we not gone to alki all day :) Dad was able to get out of work by 830 pm -we were not expecting him til 9:30.... We are so lucky to have a great kid !

Lauren really wanted her Lettermans jacket. She had worked some what hard and made it to State in Track/Lettered in track. They put it on rush order and we had it prior to her birthday. She loved it! So proud.

Nathan 2 yrs has figured out that he can get to the cake and swiped some:)

Lauren is 16 - wow
