Seattle Trip

Well it's probably about time we went to see downtown Seattle and go to a Mariners games seeing as we have only been here for over 2 years now! So we did it Saturday night. Jordan had school on Saturday so I went and met him in Renton and then drove up to Seattle from there. We were just planning on going to the Mariners game but we had some extra time so we went downtown by the space needle. Trying to get a picture with the space needle was a little tricky but I think they turned out all right.

We could not get Dottie to smile at all!!!

I don't know what they call it down town but they had all these rides and things going on so we let them take one turn on the merry go round!

We spent almost 2 weeks down in Battle Ground hanging out with Jordans Family and his brother Travis' family and these are the only 2 pictures we got at the Erickson house... I am going to have to bum some pictures off of somebody elses camara! This is Dot and Sadie haveing fun throught the door. They are the same age!


Okay i guess we got one more showing how dirty the kids would get after playing in the back yard with their cousins all day, jumping on the trampoline, chasing the chickens, picking berries from grandmas garden, riding motorcycles, swinging down the zipline, chasing around the dog and lots more. Fun time at grandma's house and dottie doesnt want to leave!


We took a trip over to the Portland temple on a Saturday morning so the girls could walk around (they have been learning a lot about temples lately in primary and nursery)and since it was Saturday there were a couple brides walking around getting their pictures done... The girls were in heaven! Dottie kept saying.."mom look the princess got married." Emma thought it was cool to see where mommy and daddy got married too!



After we got home my sister and her family came up for a visit! Here are the girls jumping on the trampoline!

Almost Done!

Jordan has FINISHED his Thesis Paper for his masters!!! I am so proud of him! He still has one class to finish before he graduates in September. He has worked very hard and currently has a 4.0 and if everything goes right he will also graduate with a 4.0!! He has worked so hard and we are very proud of him sticking with school and just getting it done!
He started his masters program back in sept of '06 and has been going up to Renton every other weekend, all weekend, for classes. So it's kind of put a damper on our weekends.. but soon we will get him back! His last day of class is Sept. 6th and graduation is Sept. 20th.
If you are curious his paper is on STATISTICAL PROCESS ANALYSIS OF MALFUNCTIONING WATER JET EQUIPMENT FOR THE BOEING 777 HORIZONTAL STABILIZER. I have no idea what that really means.. he would have to explain it. He is getting a Masters of Science in technical Management.

CONGRATULATIONS JORDY!!!!

Happy 6th!

Jordan and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on the 3rd of August! We didn't do much to celebrate.. my parents had Emma for the night and we took Dottie, ran to walmart to get some brick, came home layed the brick and rocks around our water faucets outside. Then we took a bike ride to safeway to buy milk came home and ate left overs for dinner, then we decided to go all out and hit up Dairy Queen for dessert! So Romantic eh! Sometime this next week we will go out to dinner with out the kids!
Hard to believe it's been 6 years!! and two kids!
