We went to Zoo Lights at the Point Defiance Zoo with Joel's sister Neeley and her family. It was very beautiful and very cold! The kids were troopers!

At Christmas time Joel's brother Tanner was around with his sweet wife Jessica, and their new baby girl Layla. I just think they are both such good Dad's. And my neice Layla is so beautiful just like a princess!

Ethan trying out being a pirate! Arrgh!

Another annual tradition is a visit to Snowshoe Evergreen Tree Farm for our Christmas Tree. We usually start the morning off at Cattin's with my brother Jeremy's family and my mom for breakfast then it is off to get our Christmas trees.

For Thanksgiving break the Olsens came up from Utah and we all went to the Children's Museum which was really fun. Here are just a few pictures of that great trip.

Here is Ethan! He is 6 months old now. He is a very sweet baby. He smiles alot and just has this happy spirit that we all enjoy to be around. Each of our children have been joyful blessings and Ethan just adds to our testimony of how glad we are that families are forever!

Since I just started this blog I wanted to share some pictures of recent seasons. This was our annual visit to Spooner's Farms for our pumpkins in October. We all love the Fall Season here it is so beautiful!

This is a hike we took last summer to sheep lake in Chinook pass. I was 36 weeks pregnant!

A few more pictures of our trip to Germany. We stayed at the military resort there called Edelweiss Lodge. It is cradled right under the Alps and is on the border between Germany and Austria. Joel and I had such a good time!

Hello family and friends. This is a picture of Joel and I in Garmisch, Germany. Probably one of the best trips of my life.
