Tid Bits

Josie loves to be chased and to chase. It's so fun to watch :) She has some serious get-up when she wants to move fast!

Josie and I got to go with my friend, Jenn, to where she works. She works at a ranch with troubled boys and is a horse trainer. Josie really liked the horses from a distance, but not too close :)

My Birthday

Another birthday! It came on a Saturday, which proved to be very nice and relaxing. We got to go on a family jog, grocery shopping, and had a movie and ice cream date-night. It was great! Scott made me a big cookie instead of a cake since I'm not a big cake person. It was a lovely day! Thanks to all those who got me gifts and that were sure to wish me a happy birthday!

It's Been Awhile...

Wow, life is crazy! But I'm trying to get back in the swing of things and start blogging again. Josie is almost ten months old now! Scott and I are busy with church callings and just busy in general, but life is very good and we feel (and are) extremely blessed.

Tidbits about Josie:
~ she's crawling all over the place
~ her favorite places to play are in the kitchen standing with the step stool and in the living room in between the couch and ottoman. She loves to stand up while holding her favorite doll and can do that and be content for quite some time.
~ she's a very good eater :)
~ she breathes really loud when she's crawling...we always know where she's at and where she's going
~ she got a bike seat for Christmas and we have been enjoying awesome weather here in the AZ with lots of bike rides
~ she rarely smiles at people she doesn't know...everyone at church thinks she is extremely serious and for some, it has turned into a game to try to get a smile out of her
~ she's a people-watcher and is always trying to see what is going on

SEATTLE Vacation!

Kelsey's Perfect Vacation: her husband plans everything with his coworker of where they're going and what to do when they're there for a fun, cool-weather vacation...it happened! I didn't have to do anything but pack and show up! ;)

And we had PERFECT weather! No rain and around 80 degrees all week.

We got to enjoy this neat city with our friends Jesse and Amber.

The Aquarium
 

   

Celebrating Scott's Birthday by watching the Mariners! What more could he ask for?!
 

Space Needle! We got to go during the day and at night.

  




This was by the Space Needle...I was backing up trying to get a pic and almost stepped on a homeless man passed out on the grass. There were quite a few homeless people around Seattle and we decided maybe the free city bus and things like that have something to do with it...

Rock 'n Roll Museum

Scott wasn't a huge fan of this. I don't blame him too much though...it was a lot of reading how the musicians that started out in the Seattle area (Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, etc.) got started and then how they overdosed on drugs and died or how they killed themselves...

We took a ferry ride to see the Seattle skyline.


Scott really enjoyed his new app that let's him take multiple pictures and make one out of it.



Pike's Place Market


 


We did a session in the be-a-u-tiful Seattle temple.



Boeing Tour



 



We rode a ferry! It was pretty crazy for me, but an everyday thing here with cars going over every half hour.




We got to the other side and picked up some seashells.

 

Flight Museum
 

And then....ANOTHER Mariners Game!!!

Our friends left Friday afternoon, so Scott wanted to go to a game where his hero, Felix Hernandez, was pitching. We got the seats that came with shirts and had a really enjoyable time cheering.

Snoqualmie Falls

 
 Hiking! It was really different looking around and only seeing trees and forest instead of pretty views. But the view was beautiful when we go to the top.


 

And we got to pick blackberries!
 


The Beach

 

We visited Scott's Grandmother's grave. What a great woman! I'm glad I got to meet her.

Very nice trip. Well done Scott!
