I'm Thankful....

I know it is not thanksgiving yet but wanted to express my gratitude for all that I have now. I love my family-my husband and 4 wonderful boys. I couldn't ask for sweeter kids. I'm thankful for all the blessings in my life-you all know who you are-I'm thankful for the chance to go to Oregon and spend this fun holiday with my parents and get the kids some fun grandpa/grandma time. We always look forward to times when we get to get out of town and just spend time together as a family. We are so blessed to live in a country where we have the freedoms that we enjoy-especially when we get to worship how we wish. My heart is full of gratitude and I hope that each and everyone of you has a most wonderful holiday!

My sweet husband

Mike had a gig on Saturday in Seattle and didn't get home till around midnight that night. He came and woke me up to give me some pretty fall flowers he had bought me there. He's the sweetest.

Disney On Ice

Ahh...the circle of life

Timon and Pumba in the Lion King

All the props were so cool-Ursula was so neat in the Little Mermaid


I think our favorite was actually the cars part. The mouths were even moving-awesome!

Cant' take our eyes off the ice

The boys waiting for the show to start

Last night we went to the much anticipated Disney on Ice: Worlds of Fantasy in Kent. There was a lot of people there...lots of little girls in their princess dresses-Elijah even wore his buzz lightyear costume. We found our seats with only about 5 minutes to spare. The boys were so excited when they started the program and Mickey and Minnie came out driving their car. There were fireworks, smoke, bubbbles, all the fun stuff that kept the boys attention the whole time. Brandon even did really well considering his age. When Tinkerbell came out Elijah was so excited and was clapping his hands. We enjoyed all the different shows and are really glad that we were able to enjoy this together as a family.

Happy Veteran's Day

Thank you for all you do and for all you've done. Veteran's are lifesavers and peace keepers. All they do everyday and all they've done in the past. Thank you for all you do for us and continue to do everyday! We are forever grateful.

We did it!

I just wanted to say thank you to all who voted for our little buzz lightyear. We actually won a pair of tickets to Disney on Ice so looks like Elijah will be seeing Tinkerbell after all. We are excited for our date!

Happy Halloween

Showing our costumes to grandpa and grandma

Elijah decided to be an alligator this time around

We are having fun

Getting ready to trick or treat

Last night we took the kids trick or treating at this really cool neighborhood in Lake Tapps. All the houses were decorated so neat and the people were so nice to the kids. It started raining lightly when we first started out but quite about 5 houses in so it wasn't bad at all. After we were done with that we went out to Graham to show Grandpa and Grandma Stone and Aunt Tammy our costumes and have some dinner. It was a very happy halloween!
