St Patty's Day and Seattle Weekend

I made these cute cupcakes and brought them to Brandon's work. YUM YUM!!
Last weekend we decided to get away and go to Seattle to visit family. We had such a great time. I love seeing Brandon's parents with the kids. The kids just love their Gammy and Gampy. We were able to check out Harvey's new machine shop which was nice. I love seeing how happy he is now that he is a business owner. Even with all of the things that he has to do and all of the things that go wrong he's still happy. We were going to go to the zoo but because Atti had earaches and Nix had croup last week we decided it was too cold. We went to Subway (yay!) and home for a nap instead. In the evening we left the kids with the grandparents and went out with our great friends, Christina and Conrad Ayoso. We went to the Cheesecake Factory! YUM! I had a Salmon Salad and Mango Key lime Cheesecake and Brandon had Jambalaya and Chocolate Reces Cheesecake. (We didn't have breakfast the next day!) We got there at 7pm and at 11 we were still jabbering away. We met the Ayosos when we first got married because they liven in our apartment complex. They are a little older then us and had a 2 year old but we became great friends! I think that visiting with them was the best part of the trip. On Saturday we went to the movies and say "Rango"... DO NOT SEE!!! It is so boring. Phoenix kept saying that she wanted to leave and see another movie! On Sunday we went to see Harvey's parents and had a pleasant surprise when a few of Brandon's cousins showed up. Brandon enjoyed catching up. I love visiting with Ella and Harold. I always say that I'm Ella's favorite! Soon the trip was over but before we left we took some of Brandon's old GI Joes and Star Wars toys with us. The kids LOVE them!! I have never seen them sit and play like they do with these toys. Brandon is so funny...he loves to play with the kids too. Sometimes he will just stare off in space reminiscing about the past or he'll tell storing about playing with those toys with Langston and Devon. It's cute!
