Megan's 2nd Choir Concert

Megan had her second Choir concert last night at Ballou. They did a really nice job on all three songs that they sang.
She looks so excited. She was mad that she had to tuck her shirt in. She wanted to tie it in a knot.
There are a lot of girls in her class. They sounded really good.
They all look so happy!!!!!!
She didn't want me to take her picture when they were walking back. I did it anyway.
Megan and Alex after the show. We went for Cold Stone after it was all over. It seemed only appropriate to go for ice cream when it was snowing outside. :)

What a Great Wolfe

This weekend we got to go to the Great Wolfe Lodge. It is a huge hotel and indoor water park. We went with Heidi, Cliff, and Jacob and had a great time. It was so much fun and there was so much to do. I took 210 pictures but I will only bore you with a few.
We arrived at the lodge on Saturday afternoon. Everyone was anxious to hit the water.
Megan tried to walk across the lily pads. It was pretty funny to watch. They moved as she walked on them.
Heidi, Cliff and Jacob are ready to hit the water.
Megan and Alex had so much fun.
Heidi and Jacob came down one of the slides.
It was time for a snack break. That water makes you hungry.
Mike really liked the kiddie slide. It didn't move to fast. :)
Alex and Mike got showered under a fountain in the wave pool.
Megan, Jacob, and Alex after breakfast on Sunday morning.
All of us after breakfast on Sunday morning.
Heidi, Megan, and Alex went on the howling tornado slide. Jacob was not happy that he was to small to go with them.
We can't decide which slide to go down next.
Megan and Alex in the arcade.
We had such a fun weekend. It went by too fast just as they all do. Thanks Heidi, Cliff and Jacob for taking us with you. We are looking forward to our next trip back there.

What a great week

We had a great week visiting with Stefanie and the kids. It was hard to say goodbye on Saturday morning but we know we will get to see them again soon. Here are some highlights of the week......
Megan was very good at fixing the girls hair. Maleah seemed to like it more than Rena though.
Rena and Maleah got pretty new dresses for their pictures when they get back home.

Cameron and Rena. Aren't they cute????? :)
Kay came by to see Stefanie on Tuesday night. Don't we look tall next to her? She is really just standing next to us. I feel like I am 7' tall!!!!!!!!!
The kids all had a great time together. It is so much fun to do stuff with all of them.
Craig and Lisa came over for dinner on Friday night before Stefanie had to go home. We had a fun night eating and talking.
Stefanie's birthday is this week so we had an early party for her. We had chocolate cake with 7 minute frosting. It's a great combination!!!!!
We got her a book that she wanted and some new clothes. She had been looking for new jeans all week so we got her some. Hopefully they work out ok.
Mike was trying to take our pictures. This was the best one out of the bunch. It was pretty funny when he was doing it. We weren't having much luck.
We had to leave for the airport so we got one final group picture. It turned out good and I think everyone had a great week. We are already looking forward to our trip to visit them this summer. It is going to be so fun.

A fun filled weekend

We had a great weekend at our house. Stefanie, Cameron, Rena, and Maleah all arrived for a visit. They got here Saturday morning and are staying with us until next Saturday.
Rena, Maleah and I got home and decided we needed to make some heart shaped cakes. It is almost Valentines day so it seemed only right.
On Saturday night Stefanie's friend Lisa came over and we had a really fun night sitting around and catching up.
Alex and Cameron decided it would be a good idea to turn the living room into a fort. They ended up sleeping in there. On Sunday they moved the fort up to Alex's bedroom so we don't have to try and walk through it now.
Megan and Maleah spent the whole day playing around.
The kids all got some early Valentines gift from my Dad and Bonnie.
On Sunday Stefanie's friend Jill came down from the Issaquah area to see her. She got to spend a few hours at our house and they had a great time catching up. (I think) :)
Everyone posed for a nice picture before the kids had to go home on Sunday. This is Alex, Cameron, Christian, Campbelle, Rena, Megan and Maleah.
Rena, Megan and Maleah have had a fun time hanging out together. They really love to have their pictures taken.
We have had a great time with everyone so far and we are looking forward to the rest of the week. It will be hard to say goodbye when Saturday gets here.

Everyone Loves Pizza!!!!

We didn't do to much this weekend but on Sunday we got to go to Round Table pizza with all of our friends for Ryan's 11th birthday. We had a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed the video game room, the big toy outside and their very tasty pizza.
Ryan just can't get enough pizza.
Pat, Kathy and her Grandma.
Korrie, Scott, Suzy, and Amanda
Mark (trying to get out of the picture), Michelle, and Pat.
So many girls!!!!! Megan, Madi, Megan, Kristin and Amanda
Ryan, Alex, Matt, and Josh
Kathy's Dad Ben, her Stepmom Cathy, and her Grandma.
We had a great time at pizza and didn't even have to make dinner we ate so much. Hopefully Ryan had a great birthday.

Mike's third party..... The last one.

Well, It's Mike third and final birthday party. He wanted to go moonlight bowling so we went with 16 of our friends and bowled all night. We got four lanes for all of us and it only took about 3 1/2 hours to bowl all three games. Mike did really good and got a 212 on his last game so he was excited.
Mike and Brian are setting up the names on two of the lanes.
Pat, Kathy, and Angie set up everyone on the other two lanes.
Scott and Korrie are waiting to start. They are really excited. Can't you tell?????
Cliff, Heidi and Mike are getting anxious.
Mike (another one) and Mark.
Mike, Kathy and Michelle.
They are all so crazy!!!!!
The guys are checking their tickets to see if they can win the jackpot.
Pat's number got called twice so he had a chance to win $500.00 once and $52.00 the other time. Kathy was really nervous when it was his turn.
He had to get two strikes in a row to win. He got the first one but missed the second one. He wasn't to happy about it. :)
Tony and Suzy arrived late because they got to go to a Hockey game. They got to bowl the last game though because Stan and Brittney had to go home. I don't know how excited Tony and Suzy were but it worked out just right.
We had a great time bowling with everyone. I think Mike was happy with his choice of what to do for his birthday. It was a really fun night with everyone, as usual!!!!
I think we are now done celebrating Mike's birthday until next year.
