The Last of the Seattle Trip

Here we go, the last of the photos from our Seattle trip...

We got over to visit Grandma Alice and caught her on an especially good day. She enjoyed holding Wyatt while Ethan and Jack played in the room around her. Wyatt really enjoyed his visit with his great-grandmother.



We spent some family time downtown Seattle at the Pike Place Market. It was so nice to visit and enjoy all the goodness it had to offer. I miss the days that I worked within walking distance to the market.




Check out the cool dude fish!





Jack got a hold of the camera and took the photo below. He's getting pretty good at setting up his composition!




Ethan and the Pike Place Market pig!

The boys with some flowers for Nana and Granddad.





I had the pleasure of a girls night with Angie and Janine and her girls. It was nice to have some more time with them and laugh over dinner, as we always do. Plus, Ethan and Wyatt really love Kyla and Morgan.








A couple photos of the boys playing at Nana and Granddad's! They love it here.





We took the boys out for another family afternoon, this time to Alki Beach in West Seattle. It was a beautiful day, if a bit windy. The boys loved playing in the sand and burning off some energy.











Auntie Jake had the joy of introducing Seahurst Park in Burien to Jack one afternoon. It was another beautiful Seattle day and we had to DRAG Jack away. The two of them had so much fun looking for sea glass and exploring up and down the beach.

















I love these photos of Ethan and Nana!






We spent an afternoon with Grandma Christy and Uncle Spencer at a pumpkin farm filled with lots of cool stuff....





Can you see how big those truck's tires are? Jack is standing right in front of one.




Look up and you'll see goats walking along the goat skywalk. It was so cool to see.




Hayride....









Ethan hanging out in a barn full of corn kernels. He made a friend or two.

Below is some time spent with Uncle Jason and Aunt Delly.




We spent another afternoon with Nana, Uncle Jason and Aunt Delly at another corn maze.




Jack had great fun leading the way through the maze trying to find the locations to punch holes in the map to show we made it.












We had such a great trip, spending time with great friends and all our family. It's hard living so far away from you all but it sure makes coming back for visits lots of fun.

Hopefully we can get you all out here for more visits too!

Having a Great Visit with Aunt Delly

I know it's been a VERY long time since I've last posted, but it's hard when you have company in town. Plus, I've been especially exhausted this past week. Jack get's so excited when we have visitors that he gets even crazier than normal! September should be fun when we have Daddy, Granny and Grandma in town. I've been continuously changing up our great room bookshelves, so I thought I would post a photo for you to see. If anyone has more ideas on how to make it look better, let me know. These are some pictures of Jack at gymnastics. He has gotten so much better at this club. They do a lot more strengthening stuff than the old place. Plus they have an older boys class so they don't just teach girly stuff at this age. It's been fun to see him do so well. Of course, a lot of time he still goofs around, trying to fall off stuff, but for the most part he's pretty good at staying on task. Last week they did the monkey bars and he LOVED it and was...

My Week

 Jason left last Saturday (the 4th) for his two week Army Annual Training and we sent him off with a nighttime treat before he left.  I love this photo of my boys, as they all look so happy and the small ones look so grown up - especially Ethan.  We couldn't pry that cup of frozen yogurt away from him!!  And, as usual, when Jason leaves all hell breaks loose.  Tuesday night we were all getting ready for bed and I was getting Ethan and Wyatt out of the bathtub when Wyatt slipped and banged his chin on the edge.  Normally Wyatt gets out first but this time I got Ethan and that just drove him crazy.  He was jumping up and down and as soon as I told him to stop he slipped.  I thought he had just cut his lip or his gums as I only saw blood but then he titled his head up and I saw his chin - too much of the inside of the chin.  I got him dried off, and kept a washcloth to his chin but knew I needed to get him to the ER.  But the last th...

Master Closet Overhaul

 We have this ridiculously large walk-in closet in our master bedroom and over time it has been overtaken with STUFF. So I decided I was tired of looking at the mess and it was time to clean it out and up.  Take a look...  I can't believe it went from this... To this!  I love walking in here now and actually find myself looking for reasons to go into my closet.  Along with just weeding out old clothes and items I no longer wore or needed (you should see the pile of stuff that was donated!) I made some changes to the room too.   One of them was my shoe racks. I've long wanted a tall shoe rack to go alongside the built in shelves but I knew it would never get off my husband's to-do list so I took matters into my own hands!!  It's not exactly what I had envisioned but it works and I'm happy with it. Thanks Target for the shelves.  Over the past few years I have developed a deep love for scarves and now own several....
