Halloween

Every Halloween my family gets together, has dinners and then goes trick or treating. This year we decided to have it at our house. Tyler decorated the outside of our house, he made grave stones had spider web and strob lights going with scary music. It looked really cool! Our neighborhood was very dark and we were pretty much the only family out there which kinda sucked. Its sad how no one really trick or treats anymore I remember how much fun it was to trick or treat as a kid and the neighborhoods were always packed with kids running from house to house. But most of the neighbors handed out king sizes candy bars so the kids were really excited about that!

Halloween at my house has always been more for the kids the adults never really dressed up but this year Rian -Tyler's friend- decided he was going to dress up. My family was SHOCKED when they saw what he decided to be! lol

September

One thing Tyler and I love to do is drive to Long Beach and visit Tyler's family. We go for long weekends and just relax and play at the beach.

August 2nd

My cousin Kristen came to stay with my parents for the week so Tyler and I decided to take her all around Seattle. We went to a park in Ballard for a BBQ then drove around Seattle and Washington University. We had a great time.

4th of July

The 4th of July is one of my favoirte holiday's every year we go to my parents to have a big BBQ. We start the day going to the Indain reservation to load up on our fireworks then we go to the lake for some fun activities. Come back eat and light fireworks the rest of the night. This year was a little different because we ended up charging people to come park at my parents for the lake firework show. We earned the 90 bucks we spent on our fireworks back in 20 minutes. I think this might have to be a new tradition. :)

Federal Acadamy

May 12-the 30th Tyler went to Georgia to attend Federal Acadamy. It was hard to be away from each other for that long but lucky we knew it was coming. We were able to move out of our apartment and in with my parents for a couple of months. I did not want to be home alone during those weeks so everything worked out perfect.

While Tyler was away he got to learn new things but he also got to play! One weekend him and his roommate drove to Florida and went to Universal Studios, Nasa, and nice fun restraunts. Needless to say I was pretty jealous. ;0)

Kristina's Baby Shower

Kristina was able to fly to Washington from Texas for the weekend. While she was here her mom threw her a baby shower. It was so fun to get to spend this day with her. I cant wait until her and her new little family moves back to Seattle.

Easter Sunday

Every Easter we have our annual Easter Egg Hunt at grandma and grandpa Knutzen's. This year it down poured the whole hunt but the kids still had a blast. Then of course when the hunt was over it stopped raining and the sun came out but I guess the umbrella pictures are always the classic Seattle pictures.
