Wedding weekend in San Fran

Alex and Elizabeth were married on February 21st. Michael and I enjoyed our weekend without kiddos to the fullest. :) It was our first time leaving Caden so there was a few worries about how he was doing but he did great with the Dyer's and Drucille. Ellyx and Mikey always love spending time with them so we weren't worried about them at all.

The weekend was amazing from start to finish. Seeing the family is always the best part... I have the best family ever! I was dying to see Abbey's baby Geneva and get in my Tia time with her. She is adorable and so super sweet... I don't know where she could have gotten that from. :) Alex was as sweet and calm as he could be and we enjoyed the time we could share with him before his big day. Liz was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen and she shines beauty both inside and out. We celebrated Friday night at the rehearsal dinner where the food was delicious, then finished the evening off at the hotel bar. The next morning we had breakfast with Alex and the family and then Michael and I toured the bay with my mom and dad. The wedding was Saturday night. The wedding was gorgeous! We had an EARLY morning flight the next day which made for kind of a whirlwind weekend but we had such a great time!! Thanks Alex and Liz and all the family for putting on a fabulous weekend!

Seattle and the Lion King

What an amazing weekend we had!! We went to Seattle Thursday night and took Mikey and Ellyx to the Lion King. It was unbelievable!!! We planned the night with Adrianne, Kale and Jackson as a way for us to celebrate a late Christmas gift for each other. I love this plan. We get to all hang out, and do something amazing that we aren't going to find in the Tri-Cities. Caden stayed with Drucille during the show and she spoiled him, of course! :) Thanks Dyer fam and Drucille for a super night! I am mad at myself for not getting any pictures of the kids all decked out in their fancy clothes but here are a few pictures I found on the web from the show.

Friday morning Michael and I left for San Francisco to celebrate Alex and Elizabeth's wedding. We feel so lucky to have Adrianne and Kale to help us out with our kids. Our kids absolutely love spending time there and we have no worries and know they are having a great time. Thanks Adrianne and Kale!

Sunriver, Oregon

We went to Sunriver, Oregon with our good friends. They have two kids, a girl Ellyx's age and a boy Caden's age. We all get along great and had a fun time together! Ellyx, Leah, Michael and Thatcher went skiing for a day at Mt. Bachelor. It was Ellyx's first time and she did amazing!! We put her in a ski class and she moved up quickly to the third level. Before we knew it she was skiing down the mountain and riding the chair lift! We are so proud of her!!!! The kids had fun playing in the snow, sitting in the hot tub and exploring the children's museum in Bend.

Super bowl Sunday 2009

We watched the super bowl with our friends the Nye-Felts. It was full of good friends, food, drinks and laughs. Of course I had to dress the kids up in their football jerseys. I had fun playing with my new camera and backdrop for some fun pics!

Our toothless wonders

Mikey and Ellyx have the best smiles right now! They are both missing their two front teeth and Ellyx is also missing a tooth on the bottom.
