Happy New Year!! This year we decided that it would be fun to do something as a family to ring in the New Year...and being that we are a 'sports family' (Taiji's quote), we packed up the gang along with some friends and headed down to Seattle to watch the Sonics play. This was a first for Kali and she was excited to be with her boys!! 
We started the night with a great meal at the Outback!
P B and J for Kali!! Little cheeser!!
Then off to the Sonics...cabs were scarce but we finally made it...with time to spare!
The stands were pretty empty...could have been that it was New Year's eve or more likely because the Sonics are not doing very well this year! Once back at the Hotel...and again the cabs were scarce the boys and Shane went to see the fireworks at the Space Needle...no pictures, sorry!
The next morning was all about the swimming! The kids had a great time and Kali did great!
My little fishy!
On a whim Shane decided that we should go check out the Space Needle up close and personal. The Boys (Truman & Taiji) were not to sure about this, both very afraid of heights! But after a little cajoling we finally convinced them that it was safe and that they would have a good time.!
Me and the gang with the Seattle Skyline at our backs!
After a trip to the gift shop it was time to head home.
I know that each year we all have our New Year's resolutions...I am no different! My prayer is to become the Mom and wife that I know God wants me to be, keeping him at the center of all I do! May you all feel God's blessings in this the year 2008!!
