I am finally posting some pictures and the trip in Seattle and some of you can stop bugging me about posting a picture of him...:) haha...Anyways, the trip was great. We left Thursday and our flights were delayed an hour so we played a mad round of Go Fish in the airport lobby and Steven beat me...but only by 5 points. He unfortunately came from behind. Anyways...we flew into Seattle around 9pm and met up with his family at the hotel. It was so fun to meet them and see how similar he is to the rest of them and his Mom is just a doll. I would totally hang out with her all day. And I shared a room with her and 2 of his sisters and they were all so nice and so accomodating but I felt so bad taking up a bed all to myself. I offered to take the pull out bed and was more then willing but his sister Julie said they were under very strict orders and I would not be sleeping on the pull-out bed. What a cute boy!
Friday we went down to the Expo in downtown Seattle so all the runners in the group could register. And here is Steven with his cute nephew Chase. He seriously was such a good baby and so dang cute. 
Here is a picture from the ferry. It was so pretty and I had never been on a ferry since when we were in New York we had decided not to go to Statton Island which I am still sad about to this day.
Moving on...here is the Space Needle. There was no time and just not really necessary and when you are working with 26 people and trying to accomodate, you just go with the flow. It was great!
Steven and I with his niece Madison.
The houses which were beautiful and I certainly wouldn't mind living in one of those. Well maybe like a vacation home.
This picture is so funny. This is Steven's nephew Evan and he is one bundle of energy and so dang cute. When we were walking to get back on the ferry, I turned around and I just had to take a picture of this. It is probably one of those moments where you had to be there but just the look on Evan's face and how happy he was to be holding his Uncle David's hand was awesome.
Oh and here is Steven finishing the big race. And him trying to shield his face from the camera. But this is a funny story. We were suppose to leave the hotel at 7:30am to get there by 8:30 to secure a spot to see Steven finish but we were trying to get everyything figured out with nephews and nieces and who was watching who, and who was going, and who was staying, and what cars to take that we didn't leave the hotel until around 8:10 and so we finally got down there around 8:25am and Kim his sister and I hopped out of the cars while the rest of them parked so we could hopefully see Steven finish. So as we are walking to the finish line I turn and here comes Steven. It was like perfect timing. It couldn't have been better and I seriously would have felt so bad if I would have missed it. And I got a picture just in time. He finished the half in an hour and 26 minutes and placed 75th out of 15,000 runners. Makes you kind of sick huh? Makes me sick. Good job Steven!
Hungry after the big run. I was hungry too but I didn't run 13.1 miles.
With his sister Kim and brother David.
Steven and his sister Danelle. I hope I am spelling that right. She did the half too and finished in 2 hours which is really, really good. Her 2 little boys Chase and Evan are adorable.
Steven with his parents and sister.
We took some of the kids to Wendy's for lunch and he let his niece Kylee drive.
These are his 2 nephews Parker and Evan and we found them pulling the toilet paper from the roll and it was just so funny. Especially because earlier we had found them pulling out the kleenex all over the floor of the hotel. I guess it was just one of those moments where you had to be there but trust me...it was funny.
And me and Steven at BJ's for dinner that night with his family. I wish I had a picture of the entire family but I was lacking on the picture taking. Not sure what my problem was but I think I left my camera charger in Provo and so I used Steven's the whole time but he couldn't find his charger so I was afraid his camera would die but it held strong till the end.
It was a successful trip and it was great to meet his family. It was fun to see him in his own element and they were seriously all so wonderful.
Now for some not good news....I talked to my supervisor today and Kids On the Move didn't get the bid which means I didn't get the job since it didn't open up. She wants me to apply for a Family Advocate position but I could do that down here and with the bid being denied, it is kind of my answer on whether I should move back. It is kind of strange feeling since I have been kind of leaning on that for so long but it will be good to stay home and find a job here. Everything happens for a reason and I feel good about staying in Mesa. And now I can be here when the baby is born!!
