Seattle Trip, Part 2 - High School Reunion Weekend

These are the pictures you get when Jason has the camera!

This is the reason we came to Seattle, for my 20 year high school reunion and to be back with my girls. I really can't believe it's been that long but as soon as we all get together, it feels like it was just yesterday. Hard to believe we've been working, married and having babies (some that are almost ready to graduate high school themselves!)....

Friday was the grad's only night, so Angie, Coleen, Janine, Michelle and myself went for lunch, mani's and pedi's. Living in a house full of boys it was so nice to get out for some good girl time. Then we came back to my parents house to get ready and meet up with Kelly.

After visiting for a bit, we took off to the venue and hung out until the very end!

Saturday's couples event was held at The Museum of Flight that evening, but we had passes to the museum during the day, so with Nana we took the boys. Jack, as you can imagine, LOVED it! There was so much to look at...Ethan just wanted to crawl around on the floor, but he had fun too.

Love this pic of Jack. I think Jason's been teaching him how to pose for photos!

Jack got a hold of the camera and insisted on taking a few.

We were trying to get a photo of Mt. Rainier on our way out to the car but I don't know if you can see it...it was so pretty to see the mountain and remember what a real mountain looks like!

Sunday a few of us toured the new high school, since they tore down the old one and built a new one. One that most of us grads would have loved to attend, I might add. It was cool to see but it did not feel like our alma mater. Mom joined me, since she, too, graduated from Mt. Rainier.

Then it was off to a family picnic in Federal Way.

One of the highlights for us all was having our old high school English teacher, Mr. Kelly, join us for awhile. It was so nice to see him, as he was an inspiration to many of us!

Following the high school festivities, Auntie Sherry and Uncle Eric hosted a family get together so we could see all the aunts, uncles, cousins and kids! It was so nice to see everyone. There were so many of us...It was so much fun.

What a great, fun family.
We were so happy to see so many of you!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

Busy week

It's been a busy week with little things here and there, which is getting me ready for the busy summer ahead of us with gymnastics, swimming and all Ethan's therapies. Whew, I need a break from just thinking about it. We did have a nice walk down to our community playground this afternoon. Ethan couldn't stop laughing on the swings and the slide (he couldn't get enough of the slide) and Jack made a little friend! Great afternoon. Speaking of therapies, Ethan starts his occupational therapy next week and I'm so excited. We got the therapy notes back from his evaluation and, while I'm not positive on how I'm reading it, the scores say from poor to very poor. We have been very lucky that Ethan hasn't had any medical issues and so far he seems to be doing well with responding to his therapies, so I really want to make sure he has the best of everything. Today has just made me a little blue thinking about Ethan not being 100% of what other kids are and ...

Last Day in Prague

Our last full day in Prague. We had a late night parting the night before and a very early morning excursion but this was the one I was excited for! We did a similar excursion in Italy and loved it too. This was an awesome city bike tour to the Vysehrad Castle. We stopped for photo ops along the way - including here along the Charles River. But it's all fun and games until someone gets stopped by the Polizia! Before we left on our trip I was told to make sure you stay away from the police, so I was surprised to come up the big steep hill to see Jason stopped by one. I guess our tour guides didn't get the permit to ride in the park (too close to kids and a school). We had all just come up a big steep hill and were separated from the front of our group. Jason stopped to wait for me and the rest of the group to make sure we knew where to go. We had three guides, on leading, one in the middle who pulled away from Jason, and then one at the back. ...
