Today was a nice Washington day.
Not nice, as in Nevada nice, mom said it was around 85 at home today but nice for Washington, meaning it didn't rain and I saw blue skies instead of grey all the live long day. LOL But it was freezing cold all day. The good thing is that Washingtonians actually use heat in thier restaurants and other businesses unlike Nevadans. In Nevada it's cold in every restaurant or store winter or summer time, I hate that!

We have been staying with Uncle Billy and Aunt Helen this week and then next week we are going to stay with Grandpa and Grandma.
This past week the boys have helped Uncle work on the new church they are building and played basketball rain or shine. One day it rained the whole day but they still went out there and played basketball. I told Aunt Helen I will probably go home with kids with colds, them out playing in the rain but it won't hurt em and they are having fun.
They are spending the weekend over at Maw-Maw Delta's. We went and took her out to lunch on Friday morning and so they took their clothes to stay for the weekend. It worked out good because Paw-Paw was headed out with another load and so she would have been by herself and so she was glad for the company. They will come to church with her in the morning.

So today Trav and I had the day with no kids and so we went shopping up at South-center Mall.
I bought some casual boots. I've been needing some forever, just never found any I really liked for a price I liked but these were 50% off and so I couldn't pass them up. We ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, I tried something new and it was super good and then we shared a piece of cheesecake. We went back to the mall for some more shopping and ended up getting Trav the new IPhone 4S. We aren't usually ones for buying all the latest technology, we usually wait till some new version comes out then buy the old version for a massive discount but he has had his phone for a few years and so we figured why not be up with the times huh. LOL. I told him it can be his anniversary gift from me. :) I am not eligible for an upgrade till Dec so I'm just going to upgrade to his phone until then and now he has it easy buying me a Christmas present. ;)

We have just loved staying here with Uncle Billy and Aunt Helen. Her and I have played scrabble together and I've read my book and relaxed and wrapped Christmas presents for her. She's so organized, already almost done with her Christmas shopping, But with 17 grand-kids to buy for I see why she starts early. 
And then last night they took us out to a really nice dinner, it was really good!

 Everyone has went to bed and Trav has fallen asleep on the couch so I guess I should go put him to bed and myself so that I can get up for church in the morning bright and early.
