Seattle Trip

Updates on Clifton -

Still loving soccer!

Updates on McKay -
I decided to do preschool with her and her friend Madi at home.  So we are getting excited for that in a couple weeks.

Updates on Stanley -

8 months old and still the cutest thing ever.  He has two teeth poking through and showing little desire to crawl or move.  He is just happy sitting and playing.

Monday and Tuesday this week we had soccer and it rained.  Soccer in the rain is the best!  Last season we didn't get a rainy day during soccer so we were happy to have it.

McKay was over the moon that she got to hold her umbrella.  Stanley was happy as usual cheering from the sidelines.

We had Evan and Bella again a couple days this week.

Slug hunting in the back yard.  They were busy for hours hunting away.  They found 27 slugs!!!  They had a blast.

Bowling!  McKay decided she would prefer just to watch.

The kids and I are making sure to enjoy the last couple weeks we have before Clifton goes to school.

So we had a blast this week playing.  Swimming at the Y!

 And a whole day playing in Seattle.  One of Clifton's favorite things to do.

 Our first time at the gum wall.  I have lived in Washington for 6+ years and this is the first time I have visited it.  The kids were amazed and excited to add gum to the wall.

 Ferris Wheel ride.

Just walking the streets of Seattle is always fun.  Always things to look at and play with.  Seriously a perfect day!  I love love love days I can just play and adventure with my children.  They are pretty fun.

Saturday morning the kids and I got to help clean the church.  What a great opportunity for the kids to learn that we need to take care of our church building.

Later that day Alex and I got to go to the temple thanks to wonderful young ladies who offered to watch our kids while we went.

Oh what a wonderful day at the temple.  It was stake temple day so we had friends there which was so nice to see their faces. And we ran into one of the boys we did Trek with a couple years ago.  He was getting ready to leave on his mission this next week.  We had the opportunity to do ordinances with him and his family.  My heart was overflowing with love and joy that I felt.
