yiippppeeeeeee!!!!!!

oh dexter!

I passed!!!! 3.3 combined gpa from 7 classes!!! So excited! This first quarter was so stressful and crazy figuring out how all of this works but I did it! Thank you everyone for all of your support and well wishes and not to be dramatic but I really need that and truly appreciate it!! I feel so much better going into next quarter (which is supposed to be one of the hardest quarters). 1 quarter down, 6 more to go! woooooweeeeeee!

Tis the Season!

We had so much fun going to see Santa! I can't believe that Mason went right up to Santa and told him he wanted a scuba diver mask. It was so cute! Then he did his cheesy grin while saying "cheeseburger" when we told him to smile. We totally lucked out this year, we opted to go see Santa on a Thursday morning @ 9am and were 2nd in line! Score!! (we go to the downtown Nordstrom Santa- the first year we waited 3 hrs in line!) Can't wait for all the Holiday festivities!

did so good with Santa!
A little hotchocolate coffee treat!

He asked for scuba diver goggles

Mase loved Santa! Went right up to him!

Thanksgiving 2010

We had such a great Thanksgiving this year!! And the food this year was the BEST!! I was upgraded from bringing the dinner rolls to making sweet potatoe casserole (recipee courtesy of The Wall's). Needless to say they were the hit! (sorry mom). So happy to come home for the holiday and Mason spent the rest of the weekend with daddy so mommy could study for finals. Thank you auntie Cathy & Uncle Jim for hosting such a great Thanksgiving!!

Thanks for having us!

LOVE the snow!

had to post one more snow pic! so cute!

Let it snow!!

We got so much snow in Port Angeles right before Thanksgiving!! Mason LOVED it!! I loved it too since it meant we got an entire week off for Thanksgiving break! This is when I really miss my SUV though because my car is rear wheel drive and since we had almost 14 inches, I couldn't even get it out of the driveway! Uncle Jim came to the rescue and drove all the way from Bonney Lake to pick us up so that we could come home for Thanksgiving- can you say Uncle of the Year?!
