HAPPY HALLOWEEN

We had a fun Halloween. We were charecters from Dr. Suess' book The Cat in the Hat. Tyler and Austin were both The cat in the hat and Braydon and Bryce were thing 1 and thing 2. It was a great time!

Our weekend getaway

Tyler and I had a weekend away a couple weekends ago. It was our anniversary getaway. I know, it was a little late but at least we were able to go. Tyler's parents kept the boys and we had 2 nights away. It was great. We went to Victoria (an Island in B.C.). We had a great time.

Austin's 1st Birthday August 23

I can't belive he is ONE!!

3 Year Anniversary

Tyler and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on the 30th. A lot can happen in 3 years. 3 years and 3 kids later...

Then and now...

Family Trip to Utah

The end of July we were able to go as a family to Utah. We drove and the boys actually did pretty good. We were able to visit some of Tyler's family and some of mine and our great friends, Mike and Kristie. My parents were there so we were able to see them. We had a great time.

Happy Birthday Braydon & Bryce

Braydon and Bryce turned two yesterday! I can't believe it! We had a fun birthday party for them. Their favorite things are airplanes and balls. Last year their birthday theme was airplanes so this year we did balls.

Memorial Day Family Bike Ride

We went out for a family bike ride on Memorial Day. We had a BBQ to go to for lunch so we packed up our bikes and rode to the park for the BBQ. We love riding. The kids really enjoy it too!

Mariner's Game

My very good friend, Danielle, is moving here to Seattle this July. I know her from the Air Force in Grand Forks. She was able to come a couple of times to look for a house. So we were able to hang out. We were able to catch a Mariner's game. Of course that was more for the guys but it gave us a chance to talk and pretend we knew what was going on.It was a blast. I can't wait for her to move here.

Hot Days

Last weekend we had beautiful weather here in Seattle. It was in the 90's. I loved it! I have always been to afraid to let the boys eat their own ice cream cone, because of the mess. But since we had such hot weather I thought I would give it a try. I just took them onto the balcony and let them go at it. They loved it!

I am taking a couple of classes right now. It consumes all of my free time, as if I had any free time to begin with. I usually do my homework after Braydon and Bryce go to bed. Austin usually goes to bed later then them. Tyler caught this picture the other night of me trying to get my homework done. Austin looks like he is having a good time.

Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day. I just love being a mom! Tyler worked hard on this wonderful breakfast for me, eggs benidict. It turned out great. Thanks Tyler!

My sister Sonja came here the begining of April. We moved into a bigger place so she came to help us move. It was mostly work and not too much play. But we did get a chance to see the eat at the Space Needle. Since it was mostly work the boys and I flew down to Utah to have some fun with her and her family. Yep, I flew by myself with all three boys! It actually went pretty well. It was a lot of work but not too much to scare me away. I would do it again! We had a lot of there just haging out with family. We got to some some other people while we were there too. We got to visit my aunts and Tyler's Aunt. Mike and Kristie were also able to come and visit us. So we had a great time. Audrey, Meagen, and Nora, (the boy's cousins) were a huge help with the boys and the boys adore them. The boys also were able to play with a puppy. They loved the puppy. Now they love dogs! We need to get one! One of these days we will!

Tulip Festival

We went to a Tulip Festival on Saturday. We had a fun time with the family. We love gettting out on a nice day. We don't have very many nice days here in Seattle this time of year.

The Cutest Things

Braydon and Bryce did the cutest thing today...I heard them both saying "shh shh shh" so I turned to see what they were doing. They were taking all of their stuffed animals from the living room into their bedroom and laying them in their bed. As they were carrying them they were bouncing them saying "shh shh shh". When I walked into their bedroom they pointed to all the stuffed animals in the bed and said "nigh nigh". The things they pick up. I just adore them.

This is a work in progress. I will start posting soon.
