Seahawks & Mariners!!

Greg and Staci invited Cirdan and I to the Mariner game. Staci had a couple extra tickets that she got from work and my mom was able to babysit Ella for us last minute. Stacis work had a get together at Safeco before the game with free hotdogs, baked beans and cookies before the game. The game was fun. We ate some garlic fries and dipping dots (1st time I had them) and enjoyed ourselves!
It was a good game but the Mariners ended up losing against the Yankees. Those Yankee games are always the best ones to go to!

Cirdan, Kaiya and I went to the Seahawks practice a couple of weeks ago. Kaiya loves watching the Seahawks games and she gets really into them. Every time we drive past or see any Seahawk logos she points it out to us all excited. The practices are held at the new Seahawks facility on Lake Washington. We first had to meet at the The Landing down in Renton. We were a bit early so we went and got Kaiya a jersey and ate at 5 Guys Burgers. Those burgers and fries were DELISH! We then headed over to the shuttles and road the bus to the practice. It was a really hot day. Kaiya had some fun but she also got pretty bored. After practice some of the players came over for autographs and signed Kaiya's jersey. She is really excited to wear her lucky jersey when she watches the games.

Happy Birthday Ursula!

Stacey turned the big 2-3 on August 3rd. My parents threw a little party for her that day. The kids swam in the little pool on the deck and we ate cheese fondue for an appetizer and then ribs, chicken, corn on the cob, fruit and pasta salad. It was nice to celebrate Stacey's birthday with her and we hope she had fun.

There were about a million bees flying around us since we were eating outside. The entertainment for the evening happened when my Gramee swatted one of the bees and it hit right on the top of my hand and stung me. I thought it was hilarious. No one believed me that I had really gotten stung until I showed them the red bump that was starting to form on my hand! Good times.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Side note - Ursula is a name I have called Stacey since she was a little girl. Not sure why...it just stuck!!

Emma Jackson - A new bundle of joy

My Brother Nathan and his wife Amy had their baby on July 28th. Kaiya, Ella and I were able to go and meet her when she was in the hospital. She is such a cute little baby and we are excited to have the new addition in our family!
