OH! we had so much fun! can't you tell!!..embassy suites for the night, just because. brian & i hadn't had a day off together in ages. & we took the boys swimming & out to the nearby mall play area too! they both had just a ball!!

cashin' in on ye ol' manager's special! can't beat free drinks & snacks for two whole hours ;), yeah.. two hours!!

charlie taught izzy the ups & downs of the elevator buttons!

bear claw (turquoise) bracelet~was given to me as a baby by GG!

sportin' grandpa mike's gear

this is a wrist band from a mariners game a few years ago. he now uses it like buzz light year (space guy from toy story) but it has a 'mommy button'??? i still haven't figured it out, albeit entertaining!

our trip to omsi (science museum) with a couple friends (alex & seth) (fyi~this submarine was one used in the movie "hunt for red october")

can you find your charlie?

wow. so the music just came on my screen. the playlist hasn't worked in ...forever really. interesting. hope it stays. anyhow. trying to get a few pics up for you..is taking way too long though..will try again later

another charlie conversation. i told him we were listening to Sting (please refrain from judging!) & he wanted to know which house Sting lives in. i guessed california & charlie said in house number 8608!

i just overheard charlie telling izzy.."you're not a teacher, you're a baby. i am a teacher. all big boys & girls are the teachers."...
we've had a lovely few days. (minus the fact we're down a dryer!) spent the night at an embassy suites. love that place. will tell you about it shortly. finally got around to making st paddy's day dinner. corned beef brisket w cabbage ..isaiah will eat it (especially all the carrots) charlie says "no thanks, i'm good"...
will catch up soon.

sweetheart charlie picks flowers for me from the yard! it is finally nice (warm) enough to play outside daily. thank goodness!! we all need it! izzy & his "ooh ooh" monkey face.

hard to believe it has been 13 months since i got this lovely thank you card from the hospital that received like 16 grand from our insurance company!!

new cereal of the month!

poor sharon. i can't catch her to get her in a kitty box to take her to the humane society. i tried when it was freezing temps here. otherwise, she's been here since we moved in in june. abandoned sweetheart.

grandpa mike secured our crane legs. thanks for the support!

no, he's not high, he just doesn't smile for pics anymore! he closes his eyes like he's trippin or something!
