Spring Break in Washington

This past week was our Spring Break. I decided that it was high time the kids and I made a trip to WA to visit family and friends we hadn't seen in awhile. So we went! My parents live in Federal Way, and it takes about 2 1/2 hours to get to their house from here. We arrived on Sunday and had the whole week planned out.

MONDAY

Got up, got dressed and headed to Marysville to visit my friend/roommate from SPU, Sarah (Morris). She has two kids, Emma and Luke. We hung out, picked Emma up at preschool, went to Red Robin, and had lots of time to catch up on life. It was really great to just be able to talk and let the kids play. Emma and Luke are so sweet, I really enjoyed seeing them and how big they are getting!
Drew and Luke - Silly Boys!

All of our kiddos!
Check it out, this was taken in October of 2006, obviously right after Luke was born. Crazy how fast they grow, huh?


Tony's sister, Chrissie and her husband, Aaron, live in Northgate, on the North side of Seattle. So we headed to their new house on our way through Seattle on Monday night. Aaron fixed us a delicious dinner of chicken, broccoli, asparagus and potatoes and Chrissie made this awesome cupcake candy thing for dessert. Other than the little Wii malfunction, we had a great time visiting and seeing their new place. Oh, and the kids also each got to pet their very-scared-of-children dog, Colton!
Sadie's belated Christmas present, a soccer outfit for Mia - it was back ordered from American Girl until this month!

Chrissie and Aaron may not be able to join us here in Portland for Easter. So she got stuff for the kids to dye eggs at their house. She is such a fun Auntie!
