My mom was over as well and we all had a blast....We got to see Melissa, Natalie & Brodie....Went to an adult dinner with Joe & Erin @ Boom Noodle in Bellevue (SO YUM!).....had family pics (which were disastrous!).....Checked out the Children's Museum.....hit the Old Spaghetti Factory, always a favorite with me and the kiddos.....Saturday night we had one of the best nights of our lives.....we went to the Mariners Game and sat at the Diamond Club.....talk about awesome!...Food, drinks, amazingly close seats......I just can not describe how appreciative we are that Joe & Victoria invited us to go with them....Thanks you two! We love you!

Seattle Fun July 2009

Mariners Game 7-11-09 Diamond Club

Sunday we had a BBQ with my Mom's family at my bro's....So great to see the family! Just love them...I am always amazed at how fast all the kiddos grow up.....Shawn is working today and tomorrow and then files out on Wed....We are soaking him up before he returns to SA......

Lila Update.....

We heard back on Lila's MRI last Thursday. I talked to her Orthopedic Doctor and the MRI confirmed what she had believed all along. Lila has a small amount of scar tissue on the right side of her brain which most likely formed while her brain was developing in the womb. So the good news is there is not a tumor. As for what is next we meet with the Neurologist in August to talk more about the scar tissue and see, if anything, what else it could effect. We will be going back to see Lila's orthopedic doctor in 6 months to see how her muscles & tendons are doing. I am not sure when she will start physical therapy.....probably not until after her appt in 6 months.....Thanks for all your love and support.

First Part of our Trip.....

So we made it to Pullman, WA last Monday.....and have been having a blast. Busy Busy Busy! We have camped in the backyard,the girls LOVED it......We have seen most of the family on Shawn's side (We will see mine in Seattle) and a good amount of our friends......

Here are a few photos from are trip up, my dads and our arrival....we left on Friday after Shawn got off work and made it to my dad's super early on Sat, which was so nice to run around and stretch the legs.....Sun & Mon were both 10 hour driving days, but the kiddos did awesome. So fun measuring time in the number of movies they can watch....and Miss Lila kept her pull up dry both days, she went potty every time we stopped.....I think she is ready for some potty training....

July 09 WA State Trip

On Wed, the girls and I headed to Headquarters Salon for a hair appt and to get their nails painted. We were there all day...I got my hair cut off.....I love it....She cut it so I could wear it straight or curly....MJ & Kiara both got trims and Miss Lila got her hair styled....Nanna got a trim and a pedicure....good times for sure!
