why not blog?!?

so i can't tell you how many times as i'm doing something "fun" i think "i should blog about this". but then when i get home it never happens!

like....

december 2nd my birthday dinner. we went out with family to the outback stake house. that would have been fun to blog about but no, i didn't like any of the pictures of me! (i even had a tiara on!)

or how about all the times i have gotten to gather with "the girls" so i could do their toenails. that might have been a good one!? but no i never remember to even take the camera! and who would want to look at our feet anyway?

then there was the time we took the truck out to "play" with it in the snow. but alas i'm not a creative enough writer to make that the lest bit fun for anyone to read.

then on dec. 22nd we all went to dinner for allison's birthday, then went tubing at grandpa & grandma's! but i already put up a video of us doing that! who wants to keep reading and seeing the same thing over and over?!?

but Christmas! now that would be fun to share right? well you would think so but as i sat down to blog about it nothing! i mean all we did was play some christmas trivia (hard to show that in a photo). we opened gifts (wish we would have thought to even get the camera out). we had breakfast over at dode's and to get there we (matt) had to shuttle everyone over from a nearby store parking lot! we (joel, dode & jacob) even had to shovel out sheri and joel's truck just so the could get to the store parking lot (does anyone even know where the camera is?!?). we played games and had a great dinner aunt viv made! (who wants to put that on hold to take any photos?)

but new year eve! AND it's matt's birthday! how could i go wrong with a blog about that?started out the holiday by going out to lunch (me and sheri & joel and viv & dave and g & g). we (matt, janice & joel) went diving then we (matt, janice, joel, sheri & seth) all watched the space needle fireworks across the water. we even had cupcakes for matt's b-day!  but you know how it goes. we got home late, slept in late, went out to lunch (matt, janice, sheri, joel, seth, robyn & her kids), came home and played on the wii. took a nap! we had a great new years eve & day!! and still no blogging was done!

so as you can see i really do think and mean to blog a lot more then i do it just never works out!!! 

so there you have it! THAT is why my blog is not all the blog it could be!

pike place market

today matt and i went to pike place market to be with his sister and her kids. Tiare (matt's niece) is in town from hawaii and this was our chance to see her before she went home. we had lots of fun looking all through the market and visiting with everyone.

while we were there tiare got the chance to be a "fish catcher" at the fish market!
