Space Needle

What a fun day Jaelyn & I got to spend together!  Her class headed to Seattle to learn about the history of the Space Needle and then stopped at the Chihuly Glass Museum to admire the amazing art.  It was a fabulously gorgeous day - can't beat close to 60 degree weather in February!
 Me and my girl at the top of the needle
Chihuly Glass sculpture with the Space Needle in the background!  Awesome.

Great Wolf Lodge

Jaelyn & Ben had mid-winter break - - so we surprised the kiddos with a vacation to Great Wolf Lodge! They had no idea we had it planned and were very excited to hear the news when they woke up on Thursday morning!  Their bags were packed and ready to go - just needed to add their toothbrushes!

 We made it!  Gotta love the wolf ears they get!
Checking out our room before we headed to the water park.  Kids thought it was fantastic to have their very own tv in their wolf den!
 Bathing suits on....ready to go!
Couldn't resist capturing this beauty!
Thumbs up for lots of fun at the water park.  Both Jaelyn and Ben's favorite was the water slide with the big tube.  Next time we go, Brooke will be tall enough to tag along that ride too!  Brooke's favorite was the kiddie slide - - at first she was nervous to do it, but after sliding down with her a bunch of times she got up the courage to do it alone.  I lost track how many times she went down the slide after that!  She kept saying - with full smiles and giggles, "again?" after she reached the bottom!  Loved it!  :)


 Yay for ice cream!

It was a super fun couple of days - - exhausted from going non stop!  Love making memories with the family!  :)

Valentine's Day Party

Ben was super pumped for his valentine's party - so excited for the candy and treats!  
 The class waiting patiently for the party to get started!
 Ben and his buddy Tyler
 Someone's happy with his loot from the party!
And we can't forget about our precious Brookie.  I can't believe she'll be having her own V-day party next year and won't be Ben's side kick!
