The Mashell River with Dad!

My parents live on an amazing piece of property in Eatonville...it's always fun to go and visit. The Mashell River runs below my parents property and there are a lot of areas to explore. My Dad has been telling me about the river for the past year and I finally got a chance to go down with him. It's a bit of a scramble to get down the river, but once you make it down there are some phenomenal sights including 3 sets of falls (one of which you can actually go behind), lots of good "swimming holes," and an old railroad trestle. The weather was beautiful and the surroundings were picturesque...I can't wait to go back!

The whole time I was thinking, "what will happen to me if there is an earthquake?"

The Railroad Trestle we had to cross over...if I wasn't such a chicken, I would have pulled out my camera and taken a picture of the 6 inch gaps between the boards...straight down to the river!

M's Game

On Saturday night Matt's parents took us to the Mariner's game. We went to the Pyramid Ale house for dinner then over to Safeco for the game. It was sunny and warm so the roof was open for the game. The Mariner's lost, but we still had a good time.

Grease is the Word!

On Friday night, the Dyer family and the Byrd family ventured to Seattle to see Grease at the Fifth Avenue. I have wanted to see the musical Grease for years, so I was very excited. The musical was fantastic and it was fun to see Taylor Hicks appearing as Teen Angel. He even performed a song at the end of the show and signed autographs in the lobby. We had a great night and I'm so excited about next year's show line up...Legally Blonde, South Pacific, Catch me if You Can...so many awesome shows!!!

Spring Tea at Calvary

Every year Calvary Community church puts on a Spring Tea for women. Over 1,000 women attend the tea over the course of 3 days. My mom and I usually host a table or two. This year, we decided to use a birdhouse theme for our table. It turned out really cute and we had a really good time.

March for Babies

In April, the Bellerives, Muehlenbruchs, Katie, Matt and I walked in the March of Dimes' March for Babies. It was a cold morning, but the sun came out and the walk was really nice.

Girls trip to AZ!

Katie, Kelly, Andi, and I just got back from a wonderful trip to Scottsdale, Arizona. We spent a lot of time by the pool and eating great meals, but we also got adventurous and hiked Camelback Mountain and a short trail in Fountain Hills. The trip was great...I always love spending time with my favorite girls, but spending time with them on vacation was even better! Thanks to our husbands for being so flexible!

At the saddle on Camelback...success!
