Avatar in 3-D

I'm not a scifi movie girl but Adam and my sister Kat were dying to see Avatar. So we all went to see it in 3-D. I haven't ever been to a 3-D movie before, it was amazing!! I would highly suggest seeing this in 3-D in the theatre. It was so fun!!!!

Family Fun

Last Saturday my brother and his girlfriend Jessie, and my sister were all in town. Since my sister just recently turned 21 (well she turned 21 in March but we haven't all been home since then) we decided to go out on the town. It was a blast!! Adam had to work the next day so he was our DD. We went to a couple bars in Kirkland. My brother taught my sister and I some great dance moves (well maybe they weren't "great" but we had an audience).

Baby It's Cold Outside

Last Sunday Adam and I went over to Leavenworth to shop and enjoy the christmas lighting. This will be our 5th year of going to Leavenworth for the Christmas Lighting. We are so lucky to have such great friends- Anna & Nick and Stacey & Ryan to come with us. Nick was a fabulous driver (we had to go over Steven's Pass with lots of snow/ice) Adam and I were able to sit back and relax. We met Stacey and Ryan at our favorite pizza and had some yummy cheese pizza and then we ventured into the cold. We walked around a few shops and learned how to make taffy. Then the we waited outside for the big event. We sang Christmas Carols and then all the christmas lights were turned on one by one. It was beautiful. What a great day!!!

Raichel and Friday Night

Over the weekend, Adam and I got a chance to watch our niece Raichel. It was a blast. She getting to be such a big girl! Her vocabulary is really expanding. Her favorite words seem to be "Ball, Baby, Book, Money (Bunny)". Adam and I were in owe with how smart she is. She didn't cry or fuss at all. We had the best time. I would have to say this was probably one of my favorite ways to spend a friday night.

"Ball- No Peas"

Gone But Not Forgotten

Adam rode down with the procession for the 4 fallen officers in Lakewood and I spent the day trying to stream the memorial on my work computer. The service was beautiful. The slide shows of each officer was amazing and the one officer that sang Garth Brooks- "The Dance" was heart breaking.

The dispatcher at the end of the service said each officers number and then "Gone but not Forgotten."
Here's an image from Adam's drive-
