These are from a couple weeks ago when Ashton and I went to watch the Mariners play, they ended up winning in extra innings :) We had fun!

My friends from work threw a baby shower for one of our assistant Managers and Alissa and I went on Sunday, Alissa didn't know what to expect, she was too little to remember the showers I had for Dylan but she had a good time at this one. She entertained the little boys and enjoyed all the ladies giving her attention :)

Here is Miss Ali pulling around the boys :)

The group minus a few at the baby shower.

The peanut enjoying the snacks :)

The cake I made for the shower :) It turned out pretty well and the Mama to be loved it and everyone thought it was pretty so I considered that a success :)

Justin and I got to have a fun date night last Friday night, we went to the rodeo and Jason Aldean concert at the Puyallup fair, it was realllly fun :) He had way more hit songs that I knew than I realized and he sang different songs from different artists, even Rock songs, it made the show very different and entertaining. I was just happy to have a night out, no kids, no cooking, no worries :)

Miss Alissa started 2nd grade at Cedar River Academy, she looked so cute in her little uniform and she felt very special in her corduroy coat from Grama Helen.




This is Miss Ali after her second day of school, also with a new haircut :)

She is enjoying her new school, making new friends and especially ART!

Waynie decorating cookies :)

Will decorating cookies :)

Miss Ali decorating her cookies :)

D-man being surprisingly careful while decorating his cookies :)

All the kids were so excited to decorate their sugar cookies and we had a ton of different sprinkles to use so that they didn't have cookies that looked the same :)

These guys were amazing, jumping and running in these!

All the awesome elephants!

The canons moments before they shot 2 girls out of them!!

These guys did flips and jumps and acrobatics up in the air while the whole thing rocked back and forth.

Alissa and Dylan had so much fun, it was so nice for Auntie Ashton and Grama Helen to take us all :)

One of the elephants at the Greatest Show on Earth :)

Grama Helen, Ali, D-man(who is too cool to look at the camera), and Auntie Ashton.

Ali and Dylan before the circus.

She's sooo excited!

He was so fascinated by the elephants.

Dylan couldn't beleive that splashing was okay here, he always hears no splashing in the bath so he had a BLAST splashing here.

He liked watching Alissa and her friends Alexa playing in the waterfall but he was scared to go in it himself.

Splish, Splash, Splosh!

Ali and her very best friend Alexa.

"It's me, I'm D-man!"

Mom, Wayne and the boys with Amber before she flies out to North Carolina, back for training.

Kellin, Me, Amber and Wayne and Will, thought we should take one since we wont all be together for a while.

There were better pics than this one but this one pretty accurately captures us :)

The birthday Princess!!

She got so many cute outfits and toys that she'd "been dying for" HAHA

Blowing out her candles on her NARNIA cake

A cute coat! She actually liked getting clothes this year, that a change from previous birthdays :)

Uncle William, Ali and Uncle Wayne

Shes learning along with Midnight how to ride :)

Dylan's always working, trying to help Papa Dave out with the horses and chores :)

He's a little more hesitant to ride than Alissa is.

Shes doing a pretend rope swing in the air right here, so she can be a REAL cowgirl.

Pretty miss ALI
