So we just got back from the beautiful Pacific Northwest and I am already going through withdrawals...we were so lucky to have perfect weather while we were up there! A lot happened during our short trip up there so here is a quick (or not so quick) synopsis...
Quinn turned 20 on October 17th and we totally surprised him by showing up for his surprise party at Mom's house in Buckley! It was so fun to see his face when he realized we were in the crowd waiting to greet him! Lydia, his girlfriend bought him this fun tequila sunrise glasses, mustache and sombrero for him to wear...it was crazy how much like our dad he looks in these pictures!
This is his friend Isaiah Trivelas and his girlfriend Lydia. I just love all three of them! 
The day after Quinn's party we went to Seattle to meet up with the Ries' family at Pike Place Market. It was a gorgeous sunny day (but cold) and we had so much fun catching up with our friends.
This is Ben Ries - our Ben's namesake...
My brother Adam moved back from Rhode Island Saturday so we got a chance to visit with him before he drove up north to prepare for an interview with a prestigious firm that does sculptures/artwork all over the country. (he got the job-yay!) He is a very talented artist and we are so excited for him! It was really good to catch up.
That night, despite the odds being completely against her, Mom rolled 6 6's all in one roll while we played goocher. I rolled 5 6's earlier that night which is like 7775 to 1 odds, so her roll was ridiculous...Holy crap! Yes, we took a picture...for proof that we are not all liars.
Sunday we went to Scotty Christenson's new church plant - Renovo Church in Puyallup - renovochurch.com - it was really neat and he is such a dynamic preacher. You can really tell he is passionate about what he does.
While we were there, I also got to meet my best friend's baby boy Caden C. Bailey. He is 2 months old and just perfect! It was really great to see Arame' again and fun to see her as a mommy!
I also got to catch up with Israel and her sweet family. These are her 2 boys enjoying the fiesta!
Last but not least, here a few more of my favorite pictures from our trip.

Love the Blog!!! How about rolling those 6 "6's", yes I am a talented woman! We had great fun in Ocean Shores the last couple of days. Two great walks on the beach and it was sunny! The Quinalt is now my favorite casino/hotel. Very nice ambiance and the piano music in the restaraunt really made me think of you last night. Adam was here when we got home tonight and it was so fun to share your blog with him! Give Ben a kiss/hug from GiGi
Awww, it sounds like you guys had a great time!! I love the new pictures! Portland just wasn't the same without the girls from Hartzog 207 around!
