Happy Thanksgiving!


We went to Bonner's Ferry for Thanksgiving this year.  Little Diesel came along too...he's so spoiled!


But so sweet...he really is asleep in Olivia's arms.


Just like a little baby.


Olivia loves this.


We started off our Thanksgiving day at the Turkey Trot.  This is our second year participating.


I actually ran it this year.  Sophie beat me so I didn't get photos of her crossing the finish line.  Marcus came in ahead of the other girls.


Olivia met up with Tracy along the way and took Diesel.  Diesel was pretty hard to control with that many people so poor Tracy ended up trying to walk with him only to stop along the way and just hang out.  He was pulling on the leash and she felt like he was going to strangle himself...guess we need to do some more work with him.


Emma came in with a smile.


Tracy got a good picture of them along the way.


Great Job Crew!




We also went downtown to see Santa arrive.


The kids got to sit on his lap and tell him what they want this year.


What a great Thanksgiving once again!

Seahawks!


We headed to Century Link Field so we could see Touchdown City.  We were not so lucky this time and got poured on.  We had to purchase ponchos to stay dry. 



There was lots of cool things to see at the field.

Touchdown City was amazing.  Marcus poses for a picture.

There's Olivia.

Emma too.


The kids loved the 40 yard dash.  Emma vs. Cole.

Marcus did this over and over...he raced whoever would race him.


Fun group photo!



There was even a hair painting station.  Too cute!


While Olivia got her hair done, Bree, Emma, Marcus and Marc ran into the hawk.


Olivia is blue and green!


Pretty cool.


Love these kids...they loved every minute of this.


Marcus even decided to get his face painted!  


Touchdown City was amazing...now on to the field for the game.


We tried to get autographs but could not get close enough.  So we figured a family selfie was a good idea.


We had dinner at the game...hot dogs and nachos were the picks.


Our seats were pretty high but I don't think there is a bad seat in the house!


The kids held the signs up hoping to get on TV.


Look at that view!


We were right next to the '12' flag!


Cole said this was the best birthday yet.


Sadly the hawks lost 31-34 but we still had a blast!

Seattle


Another birthday request was to sight see in Seattle.  We got lucky and avoided the rain!


The kids wanted to go see the fish market at Pikes Place.  Olivia got a crab leg!


What a great place...so fun!


The kids also wanted to see the gum wall...yuck!


Then we walked down to the waterfront.


There were lots of fun shops.


We decided on Ivars for lunch...love our photo bomb!


Ivars is so good!


Kids are ready to eat!


The boys wanted a picture with the gorilla too.


Waldron Family.


Cole is having an amazing day.

Happy Birthday Cole



Monday morning the kids woke up and got ready for the day...it's Cole's Birthday!  Can you guess what we are doing today? 


The kids and Raymond made signs.


Go Hawks!  Happy Birthday Cole!  We are going to the Monday night Seahawks game!


The kids are so excited!


First Cole wanted to open his presents.  Don't you love the hat?


Quick Seahawks family photo.


We headed to the local donut shop at Cole's request...they gave him a free birthday cookie!


Everyone got maple bars.


11 candles on one maple bar!  Happy Birthday Cole!
