Barbie party

Christie's daughter Audrey had a Barbie themed birthday party. Somehow Christie talked Jamie into being Barbie for all the kiddos. It proved to be a great distraction for Jamie.

Lots of make-up and a shiny pink dress made the kids think Jamie was a real life Barbie

Linda

It is with great sadness that we had to say goodbye to Linda, Jamie's mom. It's hard to imagine having lost both parents at such a young age. We have to cherish the memories we had together.

I love this picture of Linda. She looks so happy here.

Harry's birthday

We celebrated Harry's birthday by going bowling. It was Monte Carlo bowling night, where you can win cash for strikes on money balls.

Birthday boy!

Diane didn't like that shot.

Nick... who lost to Jamie by the way. Haha!

Business as usual for Jamie

Nice form there Harry

Missed it by that much...

Nick's up for the jackpot money ball. Can he get a strike?

Dang... Missed it by 1 pin!

Diane strikes on a money ball!

Diane gets another money ball strike!

Guess who's the big winner of the night...

See Harry... look at that score

Seattle trip and Seahawks game

We went to Seattle for the weekend. Nick's company (Bellevue Health Care) takes all employees to a Seahawks game every year, and we decided to make a weekend of it. Our friends Christie and Mark went to Seattle that weekend as well, so we met up with them too.

Beautiful hotel with a gorgeous view of Elliot's Bay

Posing on Harbor Steps

We didn't plan to both wear stripes

Mark and Christie. Don't fall Mark!

Street performing Johnny Hahn. He's a staple in Seattle and is special for Jamie to see him each time. When Jamie was little she can remember listening to him with her dad, who passed away in 2001. He plays piano and sings songs... mostly political songs. Jamie's dad bought one of his CD's about 20 years ago, and Jamie still has it. What a cherished memory.
