Tuesday in Seattle...

Yesterday while the boys went to play a game of golf.

The girls went to check out the banquet room, and order the cake.

Then Brooklynn came to visit us at Papa's.

She is most comfortable with Papa and ran to him immediately... he is her safe place.

So cute.

We played games.

The four of us!

We went to see Ralph's coveted garden and greenhouse.

Last night we went to watch Lynn bowl.

We saw Tammy and her son was there with his wife and two kids.

Times really have moved on... Tammy as a Grandma... too cute.

We brought Lynn good mojo...

And she bowled a 223!

What a fun and relaxing time we are having, spending time together.

I love it.

Before and After...

We gave Mom an early Mothers Day.

One of the guest bathrooms needed updating.

We were really excited to start the transformation...

Before...

After

Before...

After

With gold counter tops and floors, you have to be careful what colors you introduce into the scheme. But we were so happy these new updates made a big difference.

Still a few touches to add, light fixture, some sticks for the vase, and maybe a couple of candles for the vanity.

Happy Mothers Day early. Love you Mom!!

Seattle or Bust...

The drive over both passes were good... we arrived safe, and the dogs rode really well in the car. Whew!

We are having so much fun with my family.

My brother Jim and Joanna

Me and Joanna... we made like sisters very quickly!!!

Me and Panda... a girl can never have too many sisters!

Me and Jim...

My brother Ralph and me...

The boys got in some wii time... Papa and Nene with some friends who stopped by for a visit...

The boys got up yesterday with Aunt Lynn and did a big trash run...

The puppies are learning really well where their place is on the blanket...

Morgan keeps pushing the limits scooting off the blanket to get closer to Papa (because he has the stash of doggie treats, she ain't no dummy)...

Rudy is just an all out law breaker... he doesn't think the "blanket rule" applies to him...

We are having such a great time!

It's really good to be with the family, eating, talking, playing, working, and catching up with each other. It had been way too long.
