Busy Weekend- Memorial Day 2008

We started the weekend off by picking up our NEW 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo! It is really awesome! It's a nice champagne color, called Graystone (I think)! Black interior, new car scent. It's great! The first BRAND new car we've ever bought!

Andreas and I went to Seattle with out the kids for dinner and a show...

When we got to Seattle we had and hour or so to kill before dinner, so we stopped in to Purple Cafe and Wine Bar. A couple of glasses of wine later, we headed across the street for dinner...

We had a nice dinner at The Georgian restaurant inside the Olympic Hotel in Seattle. It is an old hotel, the first in Seattle to have air conditioning! Pretty fancy schmancy for my taste, but we had a nice dinner!

Then, Andreas and I went to Seattle to see a Cirque du Soleil show, Corteo. It was really fun. We have seen one other show in Las Vegas. Corteo was at Marymoor Park in Redmond. They don't allow pics inside the big top, but I recommend Cirque shows to anyone who has a chance to see one, they are fabulous!

Home Sunday... races tonight, and BBQ tomorrow. Does it ever stop? :-) I'm lovin' life!

Mother's Day 2008

We had a nice Mother's Day this year. The day started with Andreas and the girls making a yummy breakfast, one of our family favorites, eggs benedict! After breakfast, we went to an early movie to see IronMan. Action/Adventure... what more could a mom ask for? Later in the day, we worked in our back yard, the girls played on the trampoline, and we grilled some steaks for a nice dinner!

girls and dogs

Andreas took the girls and dogs to Luhr's Landing near the Nisqually River delta when the tide was out on Saturday to play in the water and mud. Mom had to work, too bad! But they had a fun time. Lila sure likes the water, but Brutus isn't too sure he does. He knows that he likes to be out of the back yard, though! What nice weather to play out side!
