Happy 10 Years baby!

We went to the beach and stayed in this little place, it was okay, but dinner was amazing! We went to this place named Bennett's' in Grayland, WA. From the oust side it looked OK, but the Food was great. I will go back there just for the food. I had the BEST stake that I have ever had!. The best stake before was from Bobby Flay's restaurant in Vegas. Chuck had wild coho with some strawberry glaze. He said that it was so good. We both had clan chowder too. The base was really smooth and the clams weren't chewy at all. The clams were the perfect size, not to big at all. To top it all off the chef came out and talked to us. He wanted to make sure the food was really good. He was really nice. He said that they make 80 gallons of clam chowder a week. WOW !

What do you remember about me?

A couple of friends did this and it was fun to remember back to being young!
I mean really young like 1st and 2nd grade!

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Scary

We had a scare about a week ago. Blake had been at the beach with my dad. He woke up the next morning and his hip hurt . It was a little stiff. It continued to get worse that day. When they got home that night it hurt to much to walk! I gave him some Motrin and took him to bed. The next morning Alexus woke me up, Blake was crying, his leg really hurt. So off to the doctor. They didn't see anything wrong, it was weird for a young boy to have hip pain. He sent us to the hospital for x-rays and blood tests. Chuck met us at the hospital, I was sure that Blake was going to freak out about getting his blood drawn. He didn't at all. He sat on Chuck's lap and even watched the whole thing, he is much better then I. The x-rays were easy. Everything came back normal. So they said keep with the Motrin and if it hurts more, get red or swollen or he gets a fever go to the Emergency room. I was a little worried about the whole thing but this same thing happened to Alexus when she was 18 months old. They did the same tests and it was the same outcome. I guess I have strange kids!

Blake - E- Boy

Today was the last day of school. Blake went to school a little early. They got to have a BBQ and then got to have their own field day with just the kindergarten class. He was not happy about this being the last day of school. He said that he was sad because he wasn't going to see his teacher everyday any more. What cute kid!

Blake graduated from Kindergarten on Friday! He was so stinkin cute. I can't believe how much he has grown this year. He had a great teacher and made some really good friends.

Another Feis

Alexus had another Feis. She had be practicing really hard the last couple of weeks. I was trying to get here to smile when she danced and she would have nothing to do with it. She said that it was to hard to smile and dance at the same time. I gave up.

She wakes up Saturday, a little nervous. Chuck made her whatever she wanted for breakfast and then gave her a blessing. She seemed really happy, but still was NOT going to smile when she danced!

She gets up for her first dance and what do I see on her face???? A SMILE, not a fake one but a real smile. We all laughed. She smiled in all 5 of her dances. You could tell by the smile that she was having fun!

She had 5 different dances to do. 4 of them had anywhere from 8 - 11 girls in each group to dance against. Then the trophy dance had 20 girls in it. She placed in each dance. She got 2 first places and 3 second places. We were shocked that she got 1st place on the trophy dance. We had prepared her for maybe getting nothing. She was really happy and surprised to. I guess she'll be dancing for another year.

Nathan came home!

A couple of weeks ago Nathan came home from France. He brought his girlfriend Clelia home with him. The kids had a great time playing with both of them. Then it was off to travel. She had never been to the west coast. Thanks for the fun you guys!
