Sweet, sweet nieces!

I guess I didn't get any pics of Kevin and Crystal, but I did catch their cute girls a couple times. This is Ashley hard at work on her princess laptop.

This is Brianna taking a break from beating Bruce on the Wii. I got to be around the girls all day on Friday as Crystal and I were domestic and made applesauce. It gave me a chance to see their individual personalities and they even warmed up to me a little. They are so darling!! Thanks for sharing that weekend with us and opening your home to us. It was a really fun trip--and not just because Bruce won at Hand and Foot!!!

Seattle Family

Grandaddy Gessel loves his backrubs. I was more than happy to give him one!

This is Bruce and me with my moms parents, Grandma and Grandaddy Gessel.

This is the picture of all the family still living in Washington (minus my bro. and his family-Kev took the pic)...Rob & Susan, Howard & Bev(with the nice hair-do), Grandparents, Bruce and me and my cousin Nicole! Nicole makes a mean peach pie!!! SOOO good!!!

BYU vs. UW

 
Bruce and I had the chance to be in Seattle the weekend BYU played Washington. Bruce had conveniently arranged a business trip for the week before and figured this would be the perfect opportunity for me to fly up and see my Grandparents and brother, sister-in-law and two nieces, oh yea, and the game! We had a GREAT time. It was wonderful weather--got me ready for fall--too bad Dallas doesn't have fall.
 
Of course, there is always that one lost soul who feels the need to make a statement.
 
While most of the Washington fans weren't that nice...their band was. They even played our fight song. It was so awesome to be there for the game, especially since we won!!!
