Spokane

We went to Spokane this last weekend. It was a lot of fun. Cody loved playing Peek-a-boo in the car. Unfortunately this is the best picture I could get of it. Brandon, however, was much better at posing for the picture.
Spokane is BEAUTIFUL as you first drive in from the west.
Kaylee had a science fair. Kathleen loved seeing all the displays.
Ryan was cute walking around and explaining everything to her. And he also got a "go yankees" comment (notice the Boston hat and sweater).

Tanner J and Brandon loved boxing.
Cody noticed I got out the camera and said, "cheese" until I finally took his picture too.

Grammy has an awesome tool for picking up pine cones. Brandon giggled everytime it worked.
We went to watch Tanner J play basketball. Aside from being a head taller than everyone else, he is quite good. We sure enjoyed watching him.

Aunt 'Lissa' spoils the heck out of the kids. Especially Kathleen who loved all the goodies Alyssa made.

Grandpa has an awesome collection of marbles in all shapes and sizes.

We played a mad game of Quelf with Plumbs one night, then Spears the next night. It was fun.
Ryan took this picture of himself.
Uncle Cameron was fun too. He would take pictures of the kids on his lap from his computer. They LOVED it.
Cody got to pet a cat for the first time. Kathleen is absolutely TERRIFIED of cats, so we don't see them too much. We were watching Shrek 2 and the cat attacked shrek and started clawing him pretty badly. Kathleen turned to me and said, "See mom, that's why I don't like cats." In her defence she did get attacked similarly by a cat leading to her dispising them.


Aunt Lissa and Kathleen matched for church on Sunday. Funny coincidence.

Uncle Jon and Daddy played a bunch of fun games with the kids. Here is ring-around-the-rosie:
Wrestling:
and Duck, duck, goose:
Needless to say, it was a fun and exhausting trip. We miss everyone.
