Lacrosse

We had a beautiful day on Saturday in which Dan and I split up to make the boys games. Dan went to Seattle for Wilson's game....he did great; they tied but Wilson is really picking up the sport well. I stayed on the island:) and went to Noah's game. I say that b/c I get my share of going into the city. They lost; bummer. I wish I could explain the game....I'm still learning this new sport. All I know, is that from the sidelines it looks like a combo of football, soccer and maybe field hockey...except the soft ball size ball is passed w/ these sticks and rarely on the ground.
In looking at these pictures its hard not to get a little sentimental of my almost 14 yr boy. Noah is getting so big. This age group is mixed between boys who have gone, in process, or not yet started puberty. Noah is in the not yet started category...he's still my baby boy for a little while longer. Except the smells coming from the boys room these days isn't exactly Johnson and Johnson.

Spring Break

Last week was Spring break. It was a low key week, no big travel plans. However we did take the yuckiest, wettest, coldest day of the week (purely unintentional) and drive to Port Townsend....take the ferry to Whodbey Island and drive to Deception Pass. There are fun hiking trails, the water was a beautiful green...and honestly it was a beautiful place....just not a beautiful day. I'm trying really hard in these pictures to not get my camera wet, and Annie-Grace despite layer, and layers whined and fussed about being cold the enire time. Dan thought it would be fun to throw a rock in the water....w/ it being so cold his fingers must have shrunk b/c as he threw the rock in, so he also threw in the water his Christmas present. A very cool celtic ring, signed by designer that Kory's fiance got @ cost where she works. We stood all of us staring into the cold water looking for a silver ring amongst silver rocks, in water that was laping up small stones and pulling them out to deep water. Argh! After searching and hoping we gave up, and descided to finish our walk across the bridge. Anyone scared of heights? Another Argh! Even though there was a walk way we still managed to get even more soaked by the cars splashing water up on us. We were all drenched....Annie-Grace's face was a mixture of tears and snot.
So....we descide to top off our fun day w/ cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory. Emotional eating @ its best! :)
