1st Mariner's Game of the Season

Mark gave us some tickets to the Mariner's game last week so and we had front row seats behind the visitor dugout. We took Katie and Jamie along since Jason was out of town. The Mariner's lost, but we had a great time. I am excited for more games this season that are hopefully warmer than they were this night.

 

Power of Writing

 

Nona was busy writing in her notebook during Stake Conference. She handed over the note and this is what it said. She should go into advertising for Hershey. I love when my kids are learning to write and see how they are sounding out the words they hear. So cute!

Lauren is Here

Lauren moved here in January once she finished school. She is living in Kent and working at a salon near her house. It is so fun to have her come and hang out on Sunday and we are excited to have the weather change and do fun things outside. I am looking forward to showing her all the cool things that are here.

 

Happy Birthday My Sweet Nona

 

Happy birthday to my baby! Crazy how fast time flies by. The thing you wanted for your birthday was to have a "yes" day. We all have to say yes to your requests throughout the day. I did put a $50.00 price limit on asks, but we are excited to see what you come up with. You already told me that the last thing you would ask for is to do another "yes" day tomorrow and I would have to say yes. 

Nona, you are such an amazing blessing to our family. You have been such a great joy and brought such great happiness. You have been a band-aid, a hug, a laugh, a glue that has helped this family through some hard times, and a fun companion in all the great times. We all love you so much and are so glad that 9 years later you came into our family. Heavenly Father definitely knew what he was doing and we are so grateful. 

Sister's Weekend 2022

Michael had planned for all of us girls and dad to go to LA for Ashlee's 40th birthday surprise, but then Covid put a stop to it. California had a 7-day quarantine period for flying in and out. We thought about flying to vegas and driving with my parents over, but then Robbi's family got Covid. So we pushed it out a year to January 2022. The week before we were coming Ashlee's family got covid so it got pushed out a few months. So in March, we were finally able to make it happen. It just happened to be an unseasonable cold weekend while we were there. (Every time I go to LA it is "unseasonable cold" so I am not sure it is ever warm there)

We went and saw Hamilton, which was amazing, played pickleball, played a name that tune for the year you were a freshman game Steph created, shopped, went for a run, talked, ate and had a great time together. I sure do love having time with family. My sisters are so fun and my parents are the best. Michael is so great and worked so hard to make sure we had the best time.
