Snow Day!

Welcome to Pullman

Welcome to Pullman, Washington. Located in the Southeastern part of Washington. A small farming town. Hundreds of rolling wheat fields. Home to Washington State University. Home to my brother Matt, his wife Lynette, and their two adorable little girls!

We thought it would be fun to visit for Thanksgiving.

Exploring the Pullman Science and Art museum.

Digging for dinosaur bones.

Kalli looking under the microscope at.....SPIDERS. Yep, that's my girl!

Lynette and I with our babies.

Not to be left out, Torrin also got into the fun.

Eating Thanksgiving dinner. Lynette did a great job!

Kalli and Kamden love mashed potatoes.

Kindergarten Thanksgiving Feast

Kalli's kindergarten class, dressed up as pilgrims, sang us "gobble, gobble" songs and had a yummy Thanksgiving feast. What a super-duper fun day!

Happy Halloween!

Saying Good-Bye

My brother Matt and his cute wife Lynette moved to Washington for Pharmacy school. They moved when she was nine months pregnant. I'm so sad to see them leave, but excited for their new adventures.

The night crew. I've had so many friends from work move and get new jobs. My dear friend Sheena moved to Vegas. This was her last night at work, my second night back from maternity leave and my first night charging. I was hoping for a nice, quiet night. So did not happen. At least we found time to make "breakfast." Yes, I bring my huge, heavy waffle maker to work so we can make waffles, bacon and hash browns. Whenever Sheena and I would work together, we would always make a yummy dinner...or should I say breakfast!

Sheena with Neil at her good-bye party.

Kalli on her first day of Kindergarten. What? Where did the last five years go?

Kalli with her friends at the bus stop.

Kalli waving good-bye. I kept promising myself that I wouldn't cry. I was doing well, until she walked on the bus, looked back at me and waved good-bye. I completely lost it. I was an emotional wreck. Ugh. Thank goodness for big rock star sunglasses. I guess I'm not good at saying good-bye.

Park City

We spent Labor Day weekend in Park City with Blake's family. Shawn was in town, and it was fun for everyone to get together. We went swimming, shopping, rode on the gondola (the kids loved it), went on a bike ride, hiking, face painting and just hanging out with family. Oh, how I love Park City!!
