OMSI

I believe this is the coolest museum I have ever seen.

Cousins!

Elizabeth, Rachel, and Sean are having a nice rock. This is outside of the house of the inventory of the erector set.

Elizabeth had a great birthday party.

These Pictures are from a trip to Mt. St. Helens










































Unfortunately it was a bit cloudy when we where there.

Ellie got into Rachel's watercolor paints that were still wet enough for her to sink her fingers into and get a little taste!

While Grama Biolo was visiting we went to Hollywood Connection - a place with rides just the right size for Sean and Rachel.

Uncle Nick (Becky's husband, who hurt his ankle and couldn't walk without crutches) had so much excitement he had to take a nap.

Grama Biolo went on the bumper cars with Rachel, and we all think she had the most fun of anyone!

Elizabeth's first ride!

The whole family had a great time on the bumper cars. It was fun to have the kids both big enough to ride by themselves!

Our cute little Elizabeth standing outside the gate of the carousel. (She loves the flash on our camera, so when she sees the camera she laughs in anticipation of the flash. :-) ).

Ryan in the back seat on the rollercoaster!

We went mini golfing with Uncle Nick, and while we were there we made friends with this dinosaur! (Notice Sean standing on his hand)

Rachel wanted to take a picture of this alien a friend gave her (in Ellie's mouth), and Elizabeth wanted to be in the picture, too!

Rachel is teeny tiny in this picture (she's the second bee from the right), but it shows what the stage looked like and all the dancers in her ballet - Hansel and Gretel.

The Grand Finale.

Dress rehersal for our little bee.

Hanging out in the living room while Grandma and Grandpa Brady, Ashley, Katie, and Aunt Tammy (not pictured) were over visiting.

This picture was taken at breakfast one morning. Sean cuddled up next to Elizabeth and asked me to take a picture. Rachel got in, too, and it turned out so cute!!!

We had put curlers in Rachel's hair, and then when we took Sean to school first thing in the morning, she put on this hat and scarf. She looked so cute I just had to take a picture.

Nice tongue, Sean!

Sean and Rachel are always so tempted to jump into the fountain in front of the temple.

What a great sight! Snow on the mountains, the temple, and the cutest part of the cutest family! (in my opinion!)

We took a Sunday afternoon walk around the temple.

Rachel and her colors

Rachel loves her curlers.

mmmmmm Chocolate!

This is E. Eating Rachels easter bunny. She took the wrapper off and was this far before we stopped her.

Explanation

Thanks to one of Wendi's friends we were able to get a fog machine and a palm tree for the party. Because of the fog machine the pictures appear to be a bit hazy.
