Snoqualmie Pass AHHHHH!

So to get to Seattle we have to go over 3 large mountain passes. This is Snoqualmie pass in Washington on our way home. It was like this the whole way through. Of course I was freaked out....the kids were oblivious to it and Doug was calm. As we were coming out of it we saw 10 cars that had slid off the road coming the other direction. We felt very blessed to have gotten out safely!

Fun times in Seattle

We got to visit Grandpa Curt's Job at the Port of Tacoma. Sandon got to ride in his police car and push all the lights and alarm sounds. He smiled so big!! We got to have yummy hot chocolate while looking around. Sandon drank 2 cups of it!

We got to take the kids to the Rainforest Cafe for dinner. We sat right by the water fountain and Sandon couldn't leave it alone. The kids had a great time. Thank you Grandpa Curt!!

We also visited Grandma Keiko at her Restaurant. The kids loved the attention and Sandon got to use his very own chopsticks.

Christmas Day!

Christmas was a big day for our family. We woke up at 10:30am at Grandpa & Grandma Harmon's after our long night in the ER and enjoyed Christmas morning there. Next we went to my Grandparents house in Seattle University District, then we made our way down to Tacoma to spend the rest of the day with Grandpa and Grandma Moriyama. The kids had a blast and were spoiled spoiled spoiled!!!!!!

Guess who has Asthma?

We had to take Sandon into the ER on Christmas morning (12:00am) He had been non stop coughing. We put him to bed and kept checking on him and he was wheezing really bad and had rapid breathing. We called his Dr. in Colorado (We were in Seattle) and they told us to take him in. Of course I was freaking out cause this has never happened before, but his Dad has asthma and Sandon is allergic to everything under the moon so I should have been expecting it. Poor boy was so tired and we were finally discharged at 1:30am after he was given some breathing treatments and albuterol inhalers. Sandon is allergic to cats and dogs and every place that we stayed over our vacation for the holidays had a pet cat. This helped kick the asthma in gear along with a little cold.

Poor boy was so tired, he kept asking when we could go home. Once we got home to Grandma Richie's, Raleigh was still up waiting for us. Our kids slept in until 10:30 on Christmas morning.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone. Just letting you all know that we love you and wish you all a Happy Holiday. May Santa bring you lots of love in your stockings and no coal! See you next year!!!

House Sold!!!!

So we put an ad in the paper last Saturday and had a million people call and come over. A couple came over on Sunday and called us Sunday night to tell us they were making an offer on our house. We accepted and it's a done deal. Closes January 11, 2008. Wow it's weird to write 2008. Now we just need to find a place to live in Utah!!!! It will all work out in the end. It always does. We feel it's totally meant to be.

Santa Claus

I took the kids a month ago to get some professional pictures taken of them and have one taken for our Christmas photo. They were so naughty!!! I left the photography place and didn't order anything. I vowed that I was not going to do pictures this year. So all you get is this cheesy picture of the kids with Santa. Raleigh is screaming her head off because she is scared to death. Sandon was a trooper. So much for a great holiday photo!!!
