Emi's Birthday Party

When it's time for Markie's daughter, Emi, to celebrate her birthday, everyone comes around. For her party, she said she wanted to go fishing! For this, we all went out to a fishing spot not far outside Puyallup. having never fished before, it was quite an interesting experience for me.

Check out how it all went!

All the kids are ready to start fishing!

Fishing has begun!

I'm not very good at this. Markie's dad
had to help me with it.

Reel it in! Reel it in!

My first fish!

It turned out to be a pretty fantastic weekend! I always have fun when I get to hang out with Markie and her family.

Easter Adventure

Get ready for a picture-heavy post this month! On Easter weekend, Jeanie and I headed up north to visit friends and family. The first thing we did was to meet up with Jeanie's friend, Elizabeth to go on a hike. It was all fun and games until the rain started. We all still had a good time, though.














After the nature walk, we sat in the car and dried of for a while. Then, Jeanie and I went to hang out with Markie and her daughter Emi for an evening of bowling and mini-golf!







Jeanie said it looked like I had a walker while
I was helping Emi bowl.




The final scores were pretty close! (I'm at the bottom: King Drew)
To round out our already awesome weekend, we spent Easter with my parents. Evan was adorable, as always. It was a great time!

. . . and the three of us tried to put it back together.
