SEATTLE here we come!!

We will be leaving for Seattle in a week or so and we'll be there for 4-6 months. Roy is going to be selling home security systems for Platinum Protection. We are pretty excited for this new little adventure of ours. We've found that we have a hard time staying in one place for too long...I'm sure this is obvious to others as well! We plan to return to St. David, but we may be doing this every summer. We just like doing new things, and this is definitely that!

The condos we'll be staying in. They're right on Lake Washington.

Also, if anyone is interesting in a police/fire/medical security system let us know. They have an awesome deal where they give you the equipment and installation free and you just pay the monthly and activation fees. If you want to check it out online here is the website.....http://www.platinumprotect.com/......let us know if you have any questions.

We'll be in Utah around April 15-25, so we'd love to visit with anyone we haven't seen in a while. Drop us a line if you'll be in town then!

Pups

I haven't posted in a while because I've been trying to get a video on here and for some reason it hasn't worked. I guess I'll have to move on or I may never post again! Our dog had 9 puppies a week and a half ago! The kids are SO smitten by them. They always want to hold and 'love' them. Morgan does real well and will just carry one around for an hour. Roy boy's definition of love means laying on top of them! Here are a few pictures. I haven't taken any for a few days, and they are so much cuter now. If anyone wants one please let me know!! They are Shepradors (mom is lab/retriever, dad is australian shepherd).

Picture Tag

I've been tagged a couple times for this and it's just taken me forever to do. But I sorta just closed my eyes and picked a random picture, so here it is...This is Morgan at about 4 months old taking a bath in my parents kitchen sink...which she still loves to do! I'm not going to tag anyone else, but it's kinda fun, so just do it if you want to!

Schlepping

This isn't a normal thing around here...she just started dragging (or schlepping) him around one night. It was particularly funny to me because this happened the same day my friend Nina posted a video of her little girl pulling her baby sister in a laundry basket. It's great because these two definitely find ways to entertain each other!

S-N-O-W!!

I know that to most of you, snow is NOT an exciting thing. 3 years ago I felt the same way. In fact, I was itching to get away from it. This has been our first real snow since living here in southern Arizona. There was only about 2 inches but school was canceled, which made me laugh! We think it is so beautiful here because it is out of place.

The kids and Roy and I had a great time playing in it for about half an hour. Then we went inside to warm up and by afternoon it was all gone. That's one of the many things we love about it here. And believe me...we would not be the least bit disappointed to only have one snow day every 2 1/2 years!!

PS Our 'big' snow was on the 10th, and every day since has been at least 60 degrees! Tomorrow we're supposed to hit 72...woohoo!!

Raspberries

Morgan has discovered how to blow raspberries on her brothers tummy, and she makes some pretty impressive sounds. The first time she did it they were both laughing hysterically. By the time I caught it on video of course it wasn't as funny to either of them, but it was still cute.

A Mauz Holiday

My sister Mauz was in a rollover car accident in December and she hurt her shoulder. She hasn't been able to work since then and her hubby decided that she should come visit us since she had so much time on her hands. We got a week of Mauz at the end of January and loved every minute of it, especially the kids!! While we didn't do anything particularly grand, we just enjoyed being together.
