Seattle

We just flew back from 10 days in Seattle. It was a great trip. The kids are always such absolute angels on the plane and it always makes me so happy when fellow passengers come up to me to tell me how behaved my kids are. I just feel so blessed that they are so good on the plane. It makes it easier to travel. Anyway, we got to see lots of family including all of my brothers and sisters and their kids. I always love to visit family. We didnt do anything all that exciting but that's how I prefer my visits. My parents and I went out to dinner a few times, I took my sisters kids out on individual dates, my sister watched my kids so I could get a massage, and basically we just kept it low key. My brother David is getting married in August so that will be exciting. I am looking forward to that.

The night before I flew out to Seattle, I went on a date with my husband and my brother and sister in law. We went to the Jazz game. I had such a blast. I dont get to go out much because my kids are kinda hard to babysit if you dont know them. Needless to say, the kids gave this poor babysitter a hard time. Makenna screamed when I left because she is not a fan of anyone really but mommy these days and Kingston ended up pooping in his sleep whuch resulted in him waking up screaming and crying. When we walked in the door after our date, we saw the babysitter sitting upright on the couch with sleeping Kingston in one arm and sleeping Makenna in the other. It was really cute. We took good care of her in terms of pay but I wouldnt be surprised if she never wanted to babysit again!

We have been home just a couple days and the kids and I have caught a yucky cold. Makenna has a horrible cough. So, we have been resting and taking it easy. We did however, get some Valentine's decorations at Target and decked the house out. Kingston loves decorating for holidays. Next adventure......it is up in the air. We are watching plane prices and hoping to get a good flight deal to either Disney Land or Disney World.

I will have to post pictures later. Something is wrong with my computer.....
