A little blurry but, the trained poodles were Alissa's favorite part of the show.

In between each big act they had 3 smaller acts, this kid could balance really well, Dylan said mommy he gonna fall :)

Trained Siberian Tigers jumping through fire!

The aero-acrobats, very impressive!

Alissa was very bothered by the girls wearing their underwear :) Also she was very worried that they were going to fall :)

This girl was hula-hooping 30 hula hoops, very impressive!

The Elephants, Dylan's favorite part of the whole show!

Cotton Candy, you would think kids including mine would love it but no, Dylan didn't even want to try it :)

She tried it but didn't like it, go figure, I have to flag down a vendor, pay $4.00 for cotton candy and they both didn't like it :)

All of waiting for the circus to begin!

Alissa took her first shower today :) I know that sounds very funny or even late but we've never had her do it and she's never asked. We've always done baths but now shes a Shower Pro :)

I say and do a lot of things I never thought I would but I wouldn't change it for a second. Alissa and Dylan really make you remember and see life with new eyes, patient, forgiving, and young eyes :)
I don't know what I'd do without them.

I loved how they looked out there in the water, so I couldn't resist taking this picture

A view from my scrapping spot :) Yes I was the scrapbooker in the corner, but thats okay.

The house where I and 9 ladies stayed for the weekend to Scrapbook

I had tons of fun wandering outside it was so pretty out on the water.

The weekend was so fun, someone cooking and cleaning for me, no housework, kids, animals, husband to worry about, just me, some girl friends, music and scrapbooking, what more could I want twice a year.

YUMMY Popcorn - what she chose 4 our snack :)

We had popcorn and watched Survivor 4 our mother-daughter special night :)

**Thats what Alissa calls it :)

My youngest brother Will and I doing scrapbooking :)

Reading a goodnight book to her little brother :)

Me and Dylan at the South Prairie Creek, the kids' favorite pass time.

He's getting to be so big now.

Red cheeks, outside, cookie on his face, playing = DYLAN

We found a spot he could sit, eat and throw rocks all at the same time :)

This used to be about a yard away standing right side up as a bus stop but when it flooded it ended up upside down and moved!

Dylan enjoying his ever so healthy
Cheetos snack :)

She is such a goof girl :)

Our kids and our friends :)

Alissa, Celezte, Sulin, Isiah, Dylan and Rico
The friends are my co-workers kids

Snack Attack

I LOVED this mosaic

wall thing, it was really pretty,

so of course I took a ton of picture by it.

Dylan and I decided to pack up a lunch and a loaf of bread and head to a new park. We drove to Tacoma and stumbled onto the coolest park ever :) The Point Defiance Park, it had tons of stuff to do including a large pond filled with 3 different type of ducks, and seagulls and squirrels. Dylan wasted no time tearing up the bread and feeding it to all the animals :)

The upper picture of the squirrel may look cute, but that mean old squirrel bit Dylan! He was fine, and he didn't even cry. It was a very fun day!

Dylan and I had a "coffee date" @ starbucks with Grama Lois :)

We love when she comes over!

Every morning Dylan wakes up in bed, yells, "Mommy me up," Then I go in and get him and he always says this next..."Me have some icky ouse ancakes?" Translated into english that is: Me have som Mickey Mouse Pancakes? So thats what we had, and Alissa rolled out of bed about an hour later and wanted cocoa so that was our ever so healthy breakfast...Pancakes and Cocoa :)

One of my oldest friends is expecting a little girl : Vera Jane :)

It was great to see her and her sisters at her shower :)

This is our new little friend Atticus John :)

He's my good friend Kaity's new baby and we've decided that they are gonna be the best of friends :)

Here are some new pics of our snow day the other day :)

One day its sunny and blue skies, and the next, you wake up and there's snow :) Gotta love Western Washington Weather :)

Margarita's @ Mazatlan with Amber Ann and Lois Ann :)

FUN FUN Night :)
