Washington Floods

If anyone were to ask me where I am from I would tell them California, though I did live in Washington until I was ten. I have roots in both places and my mom, grandma, and cousin still live in the area. On the news last week were the stories of all the floods....right smack in the middle of where I used to live. Some stretches of the freeway were even under as much as TEN feet of water!!! Luckily my family escaped the damage, but my heart breaks for those devastated by the water especially during this holiday season. Pictures from Jeremy King Family.

This was the on ramp we used to get to church every Sunday.

The airport

Every time we drove by the dairy bar we begged my mom to stop for ice cream!

We used to shop here, now they are just going to tear the building down.

Audrey's Big Day

Audrey was blessed this weekend. The dress she is wearing was made by her Great Grandma Landon. Isn't it beautiful? I think she looks just like a little doll.

OUR CUP RUNNETH OVER

A few months ago Bryan and I sat down and talked about the importance of noticing all the blessings in our lives. We decided to, over the next few months, pay attention to every little thing we are grateful for. We each kept a list and just recently shared them with each other. Here are a few things that we jotted down. Some are pretty funny and some really touch my heart because we have been given so much more than we deserve!

A Howling Read!!

So I just finished reading the Twilight series written by Stephenie Meyer. Great books!! If anyone is looking for a series, there are three so far, I have to recommend these. The first is Twilight followed by New Moon and finally Eclipse.

Halloween

Noah and Audrey had a great time on Halloween. Audrey went dressed as a ladybug and Noah was the meanest, scariest pirate you've ever seen!!! Noah had a good time carrying his bag around, but didn't quite understand that you need to hold it out to get the candy. He loves eating the "duckers" (suckers).
