Company Retreat 2015

We went to Phil's company retreat at Mark's parents house out on Hood Canal and had a great time. The day was warm and the sun was out. We played corn bag toss, eat a ton of food and the kids went out on the paddle boards and swimming. Before the party started we dug for some geoducks and were surprised by how far down you had to dig to get it up. Phil and Mark were pretty dirty once we wrapped up that activity. It was a fun day and great to spend the day with Phil and I really enjoy all the people he works with.

Young Women Buns

Tenli taught all the young women to do buns at the Mutual activity. It was the inspiration for the buns on both girls in our family pictures this year. Lyla loved being invited to the activity and having Miya pay special attention to her and do her hair. It was a really fun activity.

Mariner's Game

 The kids and I took the train up from Tacoma to meet Phil at Uwajimaya to get some dinner before heading to the Mariner's game.

Mark gave Phil some tickets to the game so we were on the sixth row just up from 1st base so we had a pretty great view and were able to enjoy a win. The kids had a great time and as you can tell from the lady next to Cannon we kept people pretty entertained with our cheering.

Phil's 40th Birthday

So for Phil's 40th birthday we decided to spend the day at Silverwood since we were heading to Idaho for our summer vacation. We took this picture in the hotel room as we arrived for the night before so we could send a picture to the Newville's before Alexis had surgery. We loved Silverwood and had a great day. The kids are all so fun to have on vacation and we loved all the big family water slide rides. Plus the lines were still super short since it was the start of the summer season.
I love this man so much and he always makes this so fun. Can't believe he is 40 because that means I am getting close. With this new baby coming soon everyone keeps telling me that it will keep us young, but I am not sure Phil needs any help with that.

Hiking around Targhee 2015

On our last day in Driggs this last summer we headed up to Targhee with Rob and Lance and Nicki and Ryan to hike around. We first rode the lift up and then back down just for the views. I thought I was afraid going up the lift, but going down was way worse. It was a beautiful day though spent with some of my most favorite people. I love this place where I grew up and love being able to go back for a few weeks every summer. It will be different this year with a new little baby. All the kids are already getting excited about our trip in June and Lyla asked just yesterday if she could start packing.
