Shooting

Saturday we went shooting with Heather, Daniel, Tim, Jeremy and Jared. We had a great time!

Allison learned to drive with her Uncle Jeremy... Allison got to spend some good quality time with her best buddy Sammy! We just need to teach her not to yell at poor Sammy ALL the time!

The boys having a good time.

I think Allison's ready to go home....

Chris & I love to get outside and do something fun. I'm glad the weather's finally starting to get better so that we can...

Dinner with the Nadeau's

Friday night we went out to dinner with almost all of our immediate Nadeau family (we missed you Julie!). We went out to a buffet and had a really good time. Allison thought she was such a big girl.

Jeremy and Melissa...

Rose, Lacy, and Allison...

And just one of Rose and Allison...

After dinner Allison and I went with Grandpa Nadeau, Brenda and the boys to Sportsman's Warehouse and Cabelas. Allison tested her shooting skills...
It was a great night - something we need to do more often!

You've Got to be Kidding ME!

Isn't it March 15th? This is NUTS!

Laura McGee's Birthday

Finally, a CURRENT post! I know, it's kind of amazing. For Laura's birthday (which was TODAY), we were invited to join them for dinner at Red Robin. And, since we can't pass up a chance to go out to eat....

Here's Laura and her little guy Kason...
Crazy Logan...

Their friends also joined us for dinner....they were lots of fun!

Had to get a picture of myself - not my best but who really cares, right (Chris wouldn't pose for any so don't be mad because I don't have any of him)...

Little Kason is so FREAKING cute!

I hope Laura had a good time...

Even though she had to stand up and be sung to (which better NEVER happen to me).

I think Kason enjoyed himself.

And I KNOW Allison did!

Thanks for inviting us Logan & Laura!

Chris turned 27!

No pictures to go with this one, but Chris had his 27th birthday on Monday (I swear we were just turning 25...what happened!). We had a great evening - Sidse watched Allison and Chris and I went out to Applebee's with Heather and Daniel. Then we ran out to Cabela's to get some bullets (can't go to Olympia without picking some up...). We then stopped by my parent's house on the way home for Chris to get his Cherry Pie....and of course blow out the candles on top (or the skewer we substituted for a candle). It was a fun day - I hope Chris enjoyed it!

Random Catching-Up

We've had a lot of fun the last few months, and here are some random pictures that I wanted to share.

Allison is the best daughter ever - and I think she knows it...
We installed a closet organizer in our bedroom and Allison decided it was her new bed...

She started learning how to ride a bike...

We babysat Crystal one day...she's so stinking cute!

Kevin's family & friend came to visit last week and they stayed with us (since Chris was gone). We LOVE having them and they were the best house guests ever (my house was cleaner when we had FIVE extra people here than it is now with just the three of us). We miss them already....Allison especially misses her cousin Mark - good thing they'll be here in TWO MONTHS or I don't think she'd be able to handle him not being here!

Everett

Chris was sent to work in Everett for 4 - 6 weeks. We didn't know how it was going to go without Daddy around for that long, but we managed okay. The first day that he had to report up there, Allison and I rode up with him and then took the train home. It took ALL day to get back to Olympia and out to my mom's work to get a ride home. It was a lot of fun, but I was ready to be home once we got there.

Here's Allison waiting for the train (which we almost missed)
On the train...

She loved every minute (and so did I - it was a GREAT Mommy/Daughter day)!

Then, one weekend we decided to ride the Ferry from Kingston to Edmonds and stay the weekend with Chris. Allison thought the "boat" was so cool.

But a little windy...

Thank goodness Chris didn't even end up staying in Everett for 4 weeks. We missed him terribly and the weekends were difficult deciding who was going to go where so we could spend the time together. We are so happy that he's home!
