The Bluest Skies You've Ever Seen Are In Seattle...

Ok, maybe that isn't entirely accurate...but here are a few pics from some quick trips down I-5 to Sea-Town.
Darby wanted her turn for an M's game.

Stalking Griffey

And stalking the Mariner Moose...

The M's lost (by a lot) but we still had fun!


Today Dave and I were feeling nostalgic or something and strolled on over to the UW campus to see whats new and such. At first Dave was thinking it would be totally boring, but wouldn't you know it, before long all I heard was 'Oh I had a class in that building,' and 'Do you remember when we did this or that...or when Kris jumped in the fountain?' Ahhh memories.


Addiction can start early if you let it.

Hanging out in the Quad and what not.


Giving Dave a rundown on the campus. Wait, what's a rundown? Can you use it in a sentence? ;)



Just jogging. It's normal.


Had to add the one teeth shot. She has 6 now! And a Dora the Explorer toothbrush mind you. And to think I was worried she would remain the toothless wonder for life.

Goodnight Seattle!

She Doesn't Get It

But who can blame her?! She is 14 months old...this whole business of hiding eggs/candy just to go find them and stick them in a basket?! Don't the people know hard boiled eggs are made for banging together and cracking? Duh...


She became a true genius as soon as we threw the candy in the middle of the floor, which began the ever so exciting dumping and re-filling game.


Mini Snickers anyone?

And no, we didn't feed our child candy. Dave and I enjoyed it all, thank you very much! YAY Easter! Maybe next year it will be more of a hit.

Ok, cue the singing of angels and a stadium full of deliriously happy-sappy people:

The day all of us 90's kids have been waiting for. M's Opening Day, better known as 'I Get To See Griffey and Relive My Childhood' Day.
Maybe it was the emotion of the moment, or just the sweet, thick stench of garlic fries in the air, but I teared up at Griffey's first at bat (barf, I know). What is it about this guy?! Good lord it was sweet heaven to hear the all too recognizable announcement of 'KEN GRIFFFEYYY JUNIORRRR' from the announcer, Im telling you. Even the strongest of men (and women) couldn't hold back, Im sure. ;)


We fans couldn't help it but all of our super cheesy-ness of a standing ovation at every at bat wasn't too much pressure for Griffey. He got a line drive single his first time up.

To top it all off, I got to go with my favorite person in the world, my G-Ma! Can we get any cornier people?! I think not!

I love it so much, Im going again on Sunday afternoon with the husband. Even his heart is apparently too soft for the likes of the return of The Kid.
Everyone hearts Griffey!! .....oh, and the Mariners! ;)

She Gets Around (Town! She get's around town)

Here's a quickie photo-story of the happenings as of late.

Thursday we went to the Tacoma Children's Musuem and had fun with Miss Sophia!






We went swingin' at the park.

She met her new BFF (thanks Great-Grandma Willcoxon!!)


Partied down with Uncle Gary and fam at Filippi's (Happy Birthday Gary!)



Auntie Steffie is such a ham!


Fun times!

Spring.....?!

Wait, is it spring, or December?! Today we woke up and were wanting some bright and cheery color-ness, so we picked out some of Darby's spring fashionista duds from the closet...and then opened the blinds to snow! Oh well....at least she looked cute! Her grandma the genius had the idea of adding the jeans...I had her walking around freezing her bum off all morning! By the way, her grandma babysat while I went to get my infamous MRI on my knee. Results in two days...! Eeek! Im hoping for the best (which is no more feeling like a grandma and more feeling like a 27 yr old)!! Anywho, here is some spring attire whilst snowing outside, plus a video because Im bored. Here's to sun!
