All Growed Up

Here is a coversations Brigg and I had when he woke up from his nap today.

Brigg: "Mommy, I am growing up big."

Me: "I know you are! I don't want you to grow up big. I want you to stay little!! Why do you want to grow up big??"

Brigg: "So I can be strong."

Me: "What do you want to be when you grow big?"

Brigg: "A fire engine."

Me: "What do fire engines do?"

Brigg: "They get to spray the water when your house gets fired."

Here's to firemen!

Seattle

Ahhhh...I love vacations. Especially when they involve a very cute husband and no crazy kids. Don't get me wrong. I love to take trips with the monkeys, but every now and then it's good to have a break. Right? Bill was doing some CME up in Seattle last week and I got to go meet him for a couple of days. It was great!! We met his sister J'Nette and her husband Norm for dinner at the downtown Cheesecake Factory. It was super yummy! We had a great time with the Mitchells--we laughed and laughed about childhood memories, crazy sacrament meetings (thumbs up!) and boy that brown bread was good.

The next day was spent sight-seeing. It was so nice to take our time and not have to worry about naps, hungry kids, bored kids, you get the idea. We went to the top of the Space Needle (we even got a little sun that day)

Pike's Market was awesome--saw the guy throw fish and crabs. I couldn't get over all the yummy produce. It was awesome. There were of course the interesting characters singing on the corner, some wierd old clown selling balloon animals, Greenpeace activists wanting us to change the world, etc. but I loved every minute of it!

We ate some spectacular seafood at Ivar's (I am now a crabcake lover), did some fun shopping and just enjoyed being together!!

What did the kids do while we were away you ask?? Grandma and Grandpa were kind enough to come and spoil them rotten. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!

Until next time...

Gym Comp

We braved the yucky weather and headed down to Utah for Spencer's first competition down in Utah. I seriously think we hit every type of weather..snow, rain, fog...it was lovely. We got there safely and he did an awesome job. Here are a few pics of him! We are super proud of you Spence!
