To Seattle and back x 3

My siblings live ALL OVER! Texas, Utah, Virginia, Guam, and then there's me... in Washington.

So whenever anyone goes home to Seattle, we drive up the street (about 2 1/2 hrs) to crash the party! Within the last 2 months everyone has paid Seattle a visit, so up to Seattle we went... 3 times!

We packed in the fun:

Fishing

Visit from Uncle Jon

Outside fun

Mariner's Game

Pirate Party

Discovery State Park

Ferry Ride

Edmonds Beach

Aquarium

Crafts with Grandma Leen

Animal Farm

Tolmie State Park

Tired boys

It was awesome seeing EVERYONE, we love you and miss you ALL!

Thanks Mom and Dad for EVERYTHING, it was a BLAST!

ALL Aboard!

Okay, we all know that I'm very behind on my blogging. So much to blog about, so little time! Well, after a very fun weekend with my parents, I decided I just needed to dive in.

My parents were in town for a visit, so we decided to be a little adventurous and take a ride on the CHELATCHIE PRAIRIE RAILROAD. The boys are currently obsessed with trains (especially Max), so when we mentioned the words "Train Ride" the boys were all smiles! Plus the destination was a beautiful waterfall that we had never seen!

Here are some pics (just some of them).

The boys were very excited about the Rescue Train on the left

Notice the punched Train Ticket in hand.

After the conductor punched his ticket, Max wouldn't part with it.

The Caboose

What a perfect day!

Dirt Baby

This week Tanner brought home his Dirt Baby from PreSchool. All you have to do is keep water in the bottom of the cup, and watch it grow. Oh yeah... and give it haircuts too!

After haircut from Tanner:

Tanner has been in PreSchool since last September. He loves it! He has progressed in many ways and we feel so blessed to have such an awesome PreSchool with such a GREAT team of teachers and an amazing curriculum!

Here is a current picture of Tanner's wall with just SOME of the fun things Tanner brings home from PreSchool:

GO USA!!

We got up bright and early Saturday morning so we could spend the day at the OLYMPICS (free from boys, thanks Mom and Dad!). We walked/ran A LOT, rode MANY kinds of transportation, saw and did so many things, and rubbed shoulders with thousands of people! We had a blast! GO USA!!

Stanley Park

University British Columbia Stadium

Women's Hockey: Sweden vs. Switzerland (Sweden won 3-0)
