Random Catch-up

It's been a while since I blogged...so we're playing catch up a bit. I found some pictures of things I never posted about, so here they are! 

The last weekend of February we went down to Utah and hung out with Chris and Emily. We went up to Park City to the Olympic memorial/museum they have up there. It was really cool! They even had a luge sled. Those things are tiny, man! I don't think I would want to be speeding down an icy track on one of those.

There were also fun little games throughout the museum. This one you had to launch the ball and see how far you could get it (like ski jumping).

And fun things to pose with :)

The first weekend in March we went back down to Utah to see our friends Kent and Kayla be sealed to their little boy they adopted in August! It was a beautiful experience - I am so glad we got to be there for it! Picture isn't the greatest...but this is them outside the Jordan River Temple.

The weekend after that in March (our weekends have been busy!) we drove over to Boise for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field National Championships. It was really fun! We got to see old friends from track and feel the nostalgia of track season. I miss it, but I don't. Haha. It was so great while it lasted, but it was a good time to move on as well :) Sadly we didn't take hardly any pictures that weekend...but here's the track! :)

Emily's comment reminded me that we did get one picture...Chris sent us this, and we couldn't stop laughing!

Another weekend we actually stayed in Idaho Falls (gasp!) and decided to grab some dessert from Applebee's and enjoy it by the river. It was right after TJ got back in to town from traveling, so it was really fun to just sit and chat and laugh and just be together (even though this pic is only of me...haha...it's the only one we got!)

St. Patrick's day we made green crepes for breakfast. Ignore my face - they were delicious!

One Saturday afternoon we had some gorgeous weather, so we went and fed the seagulls/ducks/geese by the river and walked around the greenbelt.

TJ was in California when it was our niece, Anna's, birthday, so he was able to go up and celebrate and eat some cake with them. So fun!

Our weekends have been really busy, and really great. We definitely try and make them that way since that's all we get these days :) More weekend updates soon...

Chehalis Family Reunion

 The last weekend of March we made a quick weekend trip to Chehalis!  TJ's mom's side of the family all got together, and I am so glad we were able to be there for it!  It was a very quick trip, but well worth it :) I drove over to Boise, then hopped on a plane and met up with TJ in the Portland airport (he had been in California all week) and we drove up to Chehalis together. 

It was a great weekend with family. Everyone came over to the Emrich house on Saturday for a big, delicious dinner and we just chatted and played and it was great. This is a picture of all the girls together.

 Cousins! TJ, Jessica, Nic, Taylor, Hannah, Becky, Brynn

 And more cousins! :) 

Apparently we really like cousins...hehe. This was Ryan's idea - the 3 little cousins. Shelby, our little guy, and Jane

We so wished we lived closer so these little cousins could play together more once our little one joins our family! We are just so blessed to have wonderful families :)
