I spent the weekend in Seattle last week. Our family got together for the
BYU vs.
UW football game. I took work off on Friday and arrived in Seattle around lunchtime. I went to lunch with my mom and dad and then we went to the beach at Puget Sound. The weather was beautiful, sunny, and warm. Here is the Seattle skyline. Unfortunately Niel couldn't come because he had just started his second week of rotations for p.a. school.
This is my sweet nephew
Mckay. I love him so much! He is so funny and cute. He can always make me laugh and bring a smile to my face. The first thing he told me when he saw me was, "My mommy has a baby in her stomach and it's very very small". Then he continued to tell me its the size of his thumb. Congratulation Jennifer and Jericho! I am excited to be an AUNT AGAIN!!!
My nephews Isaac,
Mckay, and Austin all riled up at Red Robin. Friday Night we went to the fireside put on by the
BYU football team. Coach
Mendenhall (
sp?) spoke and several other football players. My favorite part was when the football team sang "Armies of
Helaman". They sounded like a men's choir...and they looked good too:) ha ha.
We stayed in the Embassy Suites hotel. In the morning they serve a breakfast buffet with cook-to order omelets. Lets just say it was the best breakfast I had eaten in a
looong time. Two days in a row too:)
Saturday morning we went to the tailgate party and then the football game. The tailgate party was right outside the stadium and they even had a band. There were so many
BYU fans there and we were so loud! We totally rallied their stadium, I loved it. There was a disgruntled
UW couple sitting in front of us. I was really loud the whole game and used my old yelling techniques from being a cheerleader.
Our family filled up this whole row of seats. My brother
Brannen is really hard-core about the whole football thing. He had his
headset on listening to the game on the radio while watching it.
My niece Tiffani and nephew McKay decked out in their cougar wear...too cute.
Tiffani was my little buddy for the weekend. We were even
roommates the first night.
The Child clan (minus Brent & Paul's family...and Niel)
View from the stadium...Seattle is really pretty. I could
definitely live there if it didn't rain so much.
After the football game we went to Round Table Pizza to celebrate Isaac's fourth birthday. Here is Dylan, Isaac, McKay, and Trent. After cake and ice cream we went back to the hotel we were staying at and we all got in the pool and hot tub! On Sunday we went to church and then had a picnic in the park by the Seattle temple. It was so nice to see my family.
On Friday night we went camping up the canyon at San Bernardino's Childrens' national forest for a church activity. We got lost in the woods on our way to the camping site which was an adventure of itself (it was dark outside). Once we made it there we had fun. Friday night we did the usual hamburgers/hot dogs and smores. 
Niel climbed this tree. After that every little kid that was there wanted to climb it too.
Our breakfast on Saturday was way better than any breakfast I have eaten at home lately. We had eggs, pancakes, bacon, and sausage Saturday morning. I ate six pieces of bacon and loved every one of them. After breakfast we hiked around and went to this lookout spot. You could see for miles and miles because it is a lookout spot fire watching.
Friends from Freshman year. I met Brittany, Abby, and Cat freshman year in the dorms. They were on the same floor as me in Helaman Halls. Helaman Hotties!!
