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...

We have traveled around the SE for lacrosse tournaments in the past but this year we had the opportunity to travel to Denver, CO for one. I think it was one of my favorite. We tried to make it a family vacation as well, so we traveled in early the day before and spent some time exploring. We headed down to Rock Park in Castle Rock and did a little hiking. See that big rock in the background? Yup, the boys climbed all the way to the top. Ethan and I made it to the base of the rock while Jason, Jack and Wyatt climbed up top. Ethan and I messing around waiting on the other boys. Photos of the boys up top. Our first game was an evening game, so we had most of the day to explore and get used to the altitude (which definitely got to the boys once they got on the field). The fun part of having good friends on the same lacrosse team is you get to explore together. We all drove up to Red Rocks to expl...

Summer is Lacrosse

This summer was especially busy for us as Jack played on TWO travel lacrosse teams and Wyatt played his first year on one. We only had one weekend where Jason and Wyatt headed off to Nashville, TN while Jack, Ethan and I stayed here for each of their tournaments. This was Wyatt's oh-so-happy-to-get-his-photo-taken face before they headed out to Nashville. I just loved the shirt!! This was the set up we had for Jack's tournament in town. Ethan was happy as a clam with shade and his iPad!! Jack had a phenomenal first tournament and was directly responsible for almost all the teams goals. He looked awesome and he joked it was because his annoying youngest brother wasn't around. Boys! Just a few shots of Jack playing. Summer also means supporting our local professional field lacrosse team, The Atlanta Blaze. Jack and his buddy Zac had the privilege of working with the team's head coach through the local youth Thund...
