It has been a while
Are you begining to see a pattern here? We definately do.
Well Brian's new job is going well. It is nice for him to home each night. He also enjoys the train ride home as it helps him to unwind from a busy day at work. Brian, Michael and Dianne have had birthdays. Another day older and all that goes with it (for all of them). Christmas was fun and relaxing. It was nice to have Meagan and Garrett come up and visit. Fortunately we got a little break from the rain while they were here. Emilee is now dancing 5-6 days a week preparing for nationals in March in Provo, UT. She loves it. Michael is doing well and has really enjoyed his shop class in school and has made some nice projects that have been put in use at home. Morgan is doing well as usual. She is busy with school and playing with friends.
That's about it....we will try to get back to quicker next time so that the blog will be more up to date.

Our Day Playing Tourists
We decided since we have been in Washington for almost a year, that it was time we saw some of the "tourist" attractions. So for Memorial Day, we got to play tourist. We went to the space needle early this morning (we left at 8:30 am - early for Emilee). We wanted to beat a lot of the people to the Seattle Center, since the Folklife Festival was also going on this weekend.
Oh - what a view!!!
Emilee and Michael wanted to see which direction they were going!!
We then decided to make an impromptu visit to the

Happy Mother's Day!

Last, but not least, Brian's present. He gave Dianne a choice of an iMac, iPhone, and Ipod!

Emilee's Adventure
These pictures are after some good samaritans came and pushed the suburban off it's side so it could be towed out.
All I can say is I'm glad no one was hurt - she bruised her knee a little bit, but otherwise we are both fine. I have to say we have good neighbors here. About 3 minutes after this happened, Rob (Morgan's friend Christina's dad) drove by and stopped to help. Then some others came. Rob called his wife Julie, and she came. Then the people who lived close by came to see what was happening. Rob knew them, and the next thing we know, they are bringing a flatbed tow truck and a backhoe to straighten us up and pull us out of the ditch.
Once the suburban was on the flatbed, it was obvious how much damage there really was. The sheriff came, and I told him what happened. He said at least I didn't blame it on the sun or a dog - a lot of the excuses he hears lately. He didn't even give us a ticket.
Then as I am trying to figure out where to have them take the suburban, the tow truck driver's brother comes along to pick up his kids from their house, and he has a body shop. Rob said he did really good work, so we had them take the suburban there.
