Forks, WA

Chris has a friend at work who has a place in Forks, WA (home of Twilight). As soon as Baylee heard that she was dying to go. We were invited to join them this past weekend. The boys would fish and the girls; the Twilight tour. We took the ferry, the kids first ride. The fun began there! The men fished on day one and the kids and I went to see the rain forest. The fishing turned out to be pretty bad due to the rain storms so that night we all headed down to the beach to roast hot dogs and mellows and play in the waves. It was Valentine's Day and the kids said it was the best they've ever had. We had a great time! The next day the boys, Josh included, headed to the lake to try fishing there. The girls did the official tour. So much fun. What a great weekend.

New Years Eve...

Happy New Year to all. We had a few friends over this year to hang with us and ring in the new year. The kids ran around acting crazy while the adults played games and ate lots of food. Chris made his special bacon wrapped scallops, they were a hit! When our friend Scott showed up he had a BYU shirt on, Chris graciously let him in the house but promptly put on his U sweatshirt, just to even the look.
Josh was dying to see the "ball drop" I think he thought it would be cooler than it really was, but he cheered just the same. Traci brought glow necklaces and the kids had poppers to add to the chaos. Most of us made it to midnight.
Thanks Amy, Brent, Jamie, Kris, Traci and Scott; we had a great time!
Part of the evening was spent running Bay around: I had to take her to one party and then pick her up and take her to the church dance and then welcome her and 5 or 6 of her friends here to sleepover. I made them pose for a pic in front of the dance; they humored me.

A good time had by all...

We had a great Christmas this year. Here's a peak at what we did:)
