Family Fun in Seattle

Pickup and Friends in Seattle

 I messaged Jayme to see if we could see them in Seattle and we were thrilled with the outcome. They picked us up at the airport, took us to the hotel to drop off our bags and then went to Pikes Market with us! We had ice cream, Starbucks and we saw them throw the fish before they needed to head out. GREAT TIMES with some of our favorites. Thank you, Jayme!!!! XOXO

Forensic Files

Yeah, I sometimes watch this. 

Tonight when giving some closing remarks the detective said "it takes a lot of gall to kill someone and then cut their body up with a chainsaw. In my opinion you have to really dislike someone to do that"

Um, ya think?

GLS 2015!

We are increasing the numbers in attendance every year! This year there are at least 12 of us attending across California. My favorite speaker of the day was Brene Brown but I had takeaways from each speaker. Great day 1!

The Girls Go Painting

Brooke chose birds for her first time painting. I love how she wrote all of our family names all over the front-so cute. Sydney did a bunny for Liz in memory of Sparkle.

If I Could Have Three Wishes (By Brooke)

My first wish would be that I could have a pet unicorn

My second wish is that I could have a whole bunch of money

My third wish is that I could have every animal in the world as a pet

Sydney: Even a poisonous frog?

Brooke: Yes,

Sydney: It could kill you, Brooke!

Brooke: I'll keep it in a cage

If I Could Have Three Wishes (By Sydney)

My first wish would be that there were no flies in the whole world

My second wish would be that I was Wonder Woman
