It wouldn't be Wyo without fireworks, doesn't matter when you are there you have to do fireworks.



We always love our annual trip to Wyoming. This year it was to short. But the kids loved getting to do the thinks they do every year. Next year we will be there long enough to fish and maybe camp. We love to just go and hang out and relax. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

Washington to see the Andelins

Washington was the next stop on our trip. The Andelins were so much fun to hang out with. We went to downtown Seattle to feed the seagulls, to the aquarium, tosee the gum wall, the market place and the Space Needle. We went to the beach and then to Seahurst Beach to watch the sun set, we went to Snoqualmie Falls and watched fireworks, Then our Family went on a Twighlight Tour. We loved Washington, it is such a fun place to visit!

Now and Then


I thought it would be fun to do a Now and Then. We went to see Meesa and Tom in Seattle. Meesa and I met at Ricks College. We were roommates for 1 1/2 years. I went with my friend Angela and we all hit it off the first day. The three of us were inseperable until boys came along. Anyone that can live with you and still be your friend is a true friend! So here are Meesa and I Now...


Here we were Then....Aren't we so hot in our cool clothes! We were ready to go dancing, I love the big hair and get a good look at my eyebrows...I was a little slow, it took me several more years to wax. (1991)


Meesa came to see Angela and I one summer in Houston.


Meesa and her husband Tom. They met our first year of college, they are the only couple that I knew that dated, both went on missions and then they married. It has been so fun to know Meesa and Tom, I have so many fun memories with both of them. Here is their Now ....

Here is the Then....Tom with Meesa and I
I know you guys will love me for this one but here are Meesa and Tom back then. I'm guessing this was about 1990. You guys are great! You have been Terrific Friends! It was so much fun to get to spend time with you again!

Ivars and The Aquarium


All of us at Ivars in Downtown Seattle. The Seagulls would come up and eat right out of your hand.


Nolans favorite thing was watching the Ferries come in

So Gross! Seattles Gum Wall


Yes, this is what it looks like. Seattle has a Gum Wall, I believe it was voted as one of the grossest things to see. (Meesa correct me if I am wrong) It was really gross but we of course all added to it.

The Beach was so fun, I was so happy to sit in the sun ,the kids loved the sand and they swam even though the water was really cold. I have decided I love a lake beach much better than an Ocean Beach.
