Hawks with Mike

Took Mike to the game with me along with Matt and his dad. We had a fun time and Mike enjoyed himself at the game :)

Happy 6th Birthday Zoey!

So I decided to have two parties in one day for Zoey. Friends in the morning and dinner at night with the whole family. I was worried it was going to be a disaster but it actually turned out okay, thanks to the help of my mom! Best part about it was that is was over in one day and I got to relax the day after and clean. I think Zoey had a blast and that was the most important thing. Happy Birthday my sweet little girl, I love you so much! pictures

Merry Christmas

Very chill Christmas at Monique's and we all enjoyed our time :) Zoey showed off her new guitar and I wonder if she is going to get into it or not really like...time will tell. stocking / pictures

Christmas Eve

We had Christmas Eve at Lisa's house this year and it was very relaxing. Ate lots of food and did our traditional play with is always fun. Merry Christmas everyone! pictures

Weekend of Holiday fun

Last night Zoey and I checked out Candy Cane Lane. We thought it was super cute but maybe not worth the long drive. Glad we saw it once though :)

Today we went with Audrey and Anna to see the Gingerbread houses, teddy bear room and the ride the Carousel. What a fun tradition and the girls have so much fun. Since we leave so early we never have to wait in very long lines so it makes it even better. pictures

Surprise Jay!

We had a surprise birthday party for Jay and he ate it up! All the family was there and more. Happy Birthday Jay :)

Love Brinks

His favorite place to be is Zoey's rug

Last day at Columbia Tower

Such a bitter sweet day. Glad to move away from the building where so many got laid off but I'll miss the location. On to the new office!

Old friends at Three Tree

Zoey was out of school for teacher conferences so we took a trip to Three Tree to say hi to Miss Emily and Rowan...Zoey was so excited to see them and Emily asked if Zoey could stay for the day. What a wonderful place and memories!!!

Tree hunting

Our annual tree hunting was a success again this year and the sledding was awesome! I'm glad we have this tradition together and love playing in the snow :) pictures

Santa pictures

While we were shopping we saw and Santa booth and Zoey really wanted to get picture with him....she had way too much! pictures Christmas is coming....

Trans-Siberian Orchestra

What a show! They did an amazing job with the lighting and digital motion graphics, it was so fun to watch. Zoey was shocked with the fire next to us but was very entertained. Glad we finally got to see them thanks to Garan setting it all up! pictures

Happy Thanksgiving

It was our last Thanksgiving at the lake house and we are all going to miss it! I understand why they have to sell it but we sure have had some wonderful memories there! After dinner was over and we all played some games we headed to Monique's house to say hi. Zoey ended up staying the night, love our family! pictures

NYC trip with Delijiah

Instead of flying home with Curtis and Zoey I flew to NYC for work and last minute Delijiah came with me instead of fly home herself...unemployed has its perks! It was her first trip there and she loved every minute of it even though it was super cold. One night we went to a broadway play and saw Pretty Women and we both loved it. Having her there with me made my trip more fun, thanks Delijiah :) 

On our way to the airport a snow storm started and it was dumping!!! I was afraid we wouldn't make it to the airport and it took us four hours to get the airport and we completely missed our flight :( Thankfully we had an awesome Uber driver and he helped us find a hotel by the airport (got the last spot by 30 sec) and caught a flight in the morning. What a crazy ending!!!

Jeah's wedding

Jeah is getting married and doing it in Alabama! We flew to Mississippi with Mary for the wedding and a layover in Houston Texas. Zoey's state count it going up :)

The wedding was so beautiful and Zoey was too shy to walk down to aisle so Curtis had to do it with her, cutest thing I've ever seen!

After the wedding everyone decided to drive to New Orleans for the night and Curtis got a tattoo with the other guys in the family. Now i'm the only one that doesn't have the Ohana tattoo. Oh well, maybe next trip out here :)

In the morning before our flight we did a gator tour; the same one Curtis and I had done for our anniversary six years ago. It was completely different this time of the year for the gators weren't out as much and not eating and this time we saw snakes, wild raccoons, wild pigs and tons of birds. Zoey was loving every part of the ride!

What a fabulous trip and don't want to go home! pictures

Happy Halloween

For halloween the school let all the Kindergartener's dress up as Farmers and Scarecrows They did a parade throughout the school and then had a party in there class afterwards. They were all so cute and I'm so glad I didn't miss it!

That night we changed her costume to Rapunzel and he was such a pretty princess! She went around the neighborhood and tricker treated with Arianna and Enzo for most the night. Can't believe how big she it! pictures

Zoey and I got front row seats for Volta and it was an amazing show! Some of these acts are just incredible to see and I hope Zoey enjoyed it as much as I did!

Pumpkin patch

This year went to the pumpkin patch at Maris Farms with Amelia's family. Zoey had a blast and this is still my favorite place to go! Not necessarily for pumpkins but for all the activities! pictures 

12th Annual Away Seahawks Game

This year we went to London for our Seahawks Away game, it was the second away but we wanted to go big for our 12th year and it was totally worth it :) We extended our trip to 7 days to make the most of it.

Day 1: 10 hour flight and travel to house and enjoy dinner at a local restaurant in Hackney/Islington

Day 3: Bus tours and boar tour around the city (Tower of London, Westminister Abbey, Tower of London, Waterloo, Hyde Park, West End) Hard to enjoy everything since I'm just trying not to fall with crutches.

Day 4:  Tower of London tour and the game at Wembley Stadium!

Day 5: Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey tour, walk through St James & Green Park, high tea and shopping on West End.

Day 6: Paris!!! Took the train from London to Paris, bus tour, boat tour, tea/lunch at the Eiffel tower

Day 7: 10hr flight home

What a trip and I just love these ladies and our tradition!!! pictures

Kara and Zoey love

Thank you Kara for loving my baby girl! xoxox

On my way to the airport to pick up Kara for girls weekend I decided to stop off at Lisa's to grab a bench for our front porch and I severally sprained my ankle :( I was stuck on her back porch for almost an hour as I couldn't get a hold of anyone...it was so painful and I couldn't move. Finally Curtis and Zoey came to get me and we grabbed Kara from the airport and then headed straight for the ER. What a mess and I was so upset as I thought I probably broke my ankle! We were heading to London for the game in three days and I couldn't walk :(

I ended up only spraining my ankle and was all bandaged up for my trip. Zoey and Kara took good care of me and Curtis took care of everything else. I hope this doesn't ruin my trip! fingers crossed....

Neighbor kids :)

Never a dull moment at the White's 

Trailer camping!

We had a fun weekend camping with Jane, Molly, Rankins and Mary & Jay. We did lots of biking and us ladies even escaped one night and went to the casino...that was a blast :) Good times! pictures

Good weekend

Birthday parties and football :)

Warrior Dash

Barbie and I did the Warrior Dash and had a blast doing it! It was a 5K with about 13 obstacles along the way. By the end we were covered in mud with the biggest smiles on our faces! Definitely want to do that again next year, I just love being active! Zoey and Curtis came to watch us and that meant a lot to me! Thanks guys xoxo pictures

Funeral and Puyallup Fair

We went to Jay's mom's funeral on Saturday and it was super sad but the service we upbeat and you can tell she was a loved women. Rest in piece and you will be missed, we love you!

That night Lily spent the night and we went to the Puyallup Fair in the morning. Curtis and I had way too much fun at the tents area ;) leaving with way too much stuff. Lily and Zoey had fun on the rides and people watching. It was a great weekend, sad and happy. pictures

"School is fun and easy, Mom"

Zoey is still loving school and you don't know how happy that makes me! She is my precious little girl and I want the world for her. Having only 15 kids in her class is also helping I think to make it less overwhelming or she is just getting older. Either way I'm so happy for her that she is liking her new school.

Hydro races and friends

Saturday we had fun at Yorozu for the Hydro and Mariachi band and Zoey enjoyed doing flips on the grass.

Sunday we had a long overdue playdate with Jane and the girls. I can't believe how big they are all getting! pictures

First day of school

So big, so beautiful, so brave, so smart, so sweet...LOVE HER! pictures

New Teacher, Miss Daquioag

 Zoey got to meet her teacher today and see her classroom. She is getting more exited and I'm getting more nervous :\
