A few weeks ago, I got an invitation for our family to celebrate our friend Kens 50th birthday! We all love Ken, so I put down that we would go play " Whirlyball ", whatever that is. I had never played, but the kids had been there before and thought it would be fun. For some reason, I had it in mind it was in Kent. Thankfully, as I plugged in the directions to my iphone, I realized it was the other direction, in Edmonds, WA. What would we do without our iphones? When I got there, I was battling a headache and bumper cars didn't seem like the best idea for me. After my medicine kicked in, I thought, "ok, I'll give this a try, at least one game." Let-me-tell you, I am a whirlyball believer! This is the most fun I have had in a long time! You get in your car and have 4 other team mates. You have a whiffle ball scoop and targets at either end. They help us grown ups out and make our car color match our target. One reason it's so fun is because you can barely...

www.GretchenFawnPhotography.com I have to admit, I have never been to see the cherry trees blossoming at UW! I mentioned that I was feeling very inspired on my fb page and I was going to get myself out there. I finally did. I was able to meet my brother Alex, who goes there, and we had a fun time. I was not expecting it to be a tourist attraction on a Sunday. In fact, I was thinking no one would be there on a Sunday at school. I could not have been more wrong. There were so many people, it was hard to get  a picture without 15 or so others in the background. I didn't mind though, because it was about taking in the beauty of these amazing trees and soaking up some sunshine. We walked all around and saw birds nests and other beautiful blossoms too. We even went into the library and shot some images. Please make your way over to UW to the "quad" this week as they will be gone before you can blink! Enjoy! Gretchen

We have had the most snow this March as I can remember ever in my life! The last two weeks I think it has snowed every single day. We were excited the first few, but as the days went on, we got a little cranky about it I must admit. However, as the weeks have gone on, we have had it there in the morning and gone before 2. I guess I can live with that type of snow that doesn't affect the roads and we can still get to where we needed to go. One of the days, I got the idea from another photographer, to be sure and look at the bright side and get some pictures of my kids. I dragged little J to the porch and she surprised me with this fun jump! Love it! Way to give Mom a good picture!
