Easter

We had a nice quiet and fun Easter. Michelle, Nick and Landon came over at 1:00 and had lunch and we watched The Testament and then they had to go over the Nick's parents home. Norman and I read and talked on the phone to family. Here's some photos!

Family Birthdays

We celebrated Karina, Michelle and Nicks birthday at Karina's home in Puyallup. We all had a really good time! Here's some photos.

Where's all the Birthday People?

Valentines Day

Norman was really nice and bought me flowers and dark chocolate candy (it's on our diet) and I bought him dark chocolate candy. We went out to eat at Ivar's Restaurant and had Halibut with pumpkin seed crust, green beans and potatoes. It was perfect!

Goodbye January!

Hi Everyone! Well, January is gone and I have to say I'm glad...hopefully we will have better weather in February! Norman and I have gone on a diet....The Flat Belly Diet! So far it's been good....in one week Norman and I lost 10 lbs each. Actually he's lost more but hasn't weighed in. It's probably water weight, but hopefully it will keep coming off.

Opening Christmas Presents

We opened Christmas presents the evening before we went to Leavenworth because Karina's family had come twice in two days and it's a 2-hour drive one way.

Norman's Birthday

We had Norman's Birthday Party with the family on Sunday. On his birthday we had a snow storm coming in so we went to Walmart and then came home and watched several movies that he had gotten at Walmart. By the way, he is 58 not 57, but I forgot to get a new candle!

Our Day In Leavenworth, WA

On December 23, 2008 Karina, Alan and the kids and Michelle, Nick and Landon and Gramma Dille went to Leavenworth, WA and had a glorious time! Here are some photos of our visit!
