My Little Munchkin

This year Children's World of Music put on a production of the Wizard of Oz. Logan was a munchkin. He is a star!

The OLYMPIC PENNISULA and forks

Last weekend we headed up north for our annual get-a-way with Kevin's sister and family. This year our destination was the BEAUTIFUL Olympic Pennisula. We stayed in a lovely house in Forks. But before anyone gets too excited let me just state for the record that a certain novel about vampires had NOTHING to do with our decision to stay there. It just happened to be where we found suitable lodging and NO we did not see any gorgeous vampires lurking around.

These pictures are completely out of order. I can't figure out how to get that right but this is at Clallam Bay. It was so pretty. We were told that there were awesome tide pools here and they were right but they were also about a mile away from the parking lot. After a six mile hike, not many of us were up for the additional two miler. But me and my niece Ellie took the challenge and were happy we did. Lori and Harrison walked out there too. I brought back a little crab to show everyone and then we put it back in the water. Me and Sis also found this lovely starfish. We toss that one back in too.

We had lots of fun picnics thanks to Kevin and Lori.

Cape Alava. Our destination from Lake Ozette. Aprox. 3 miles each way. Kevin carried Haylee on his shoulders the whole way.

Sol Duc Falls

Marymore Falls near Crescent lake. Those are water bottles in my pockets - not my hips - I promise. I can't believe I'm posting this hideous picture of me but I guess I have to prove I was actually there.

The beautiful Lake Crescent. Absolutely breathtaking!

The Dungoness Spit. Cool but cold.

The petting zoo at the Olympic Game Park

Since I forgot my camera I had to rely on the kindness of Lori and Elic. They were kind enough to capture the adventure. We truly have a great time with their family. It was an awesome trip!

House Update

These are actually from a couple weeks ago. We now have plumbing, electrical and some siding. We should start insulation next week. We are disappointed, however, to learn that it will be done a month later than we had originally thought. We are now looking at the end of July :(. But it is fun to see that we are making progress. I'll try to post some updated pictures soon.

Trip to Utah

We went to Utah April 24-May2nd to attend this lovely couple's wedding. It was so fun to see family and enjoy an evening together on this special day.

This is the first time that Kevin's mom has had a chance to meet Miss Haylee. Haylee took to her immediately.

We all love grandma Sugar!

While in Utah Chuck took us up to Kennecot. I have never been up there before and it was interesting and sad. Chuck worked there for over twenty-five years.

Aunt Lori and Mac

Shooting some hoops

Uncle Cody

Playing with Aunt Xu

We also got some free haircuts. They were definitely worth the price - but even with two people involved - thanks mom and Cody - it still took the better part of an afternoon. I think we will stick with the professionals next time... like Uncle Ty :)

Lovin' on grandma! Hope to see you soon!

Mac excited about the family room - notice all the water - yikes!

We just got back from a trip to Utah (more on that later) and were pleased to see the progress on our house. It is nice to be able to see the sizes of the rooms etc. I wish it would stop raining here until we get the roof on. Right now it is a swamp in there. The kids came home all muddy. Yuck! We are meeting with the carpet guy this morning to try and finalize some of our selections. It is all very fun and exciting.
