Party Time!

Tanner recently turned 5 and he wanted a CAR party!
So with some great helpers...


We built CARS...



And we raced CARS...



And we colored CARS...

And we played pin the CAR on the Gas Station...



And we demolished a CAR full of candy...

And opened presents...

And we ate cupcakes with CARS...








What a fun day!

I LOVE the beach!

For my birthday present... my parents took me and my 3 boys to the beach!
What a gift, I loved every second. Thanks Mom and Dad!!
Ecola State Park (Indian Beach):
Here's the coolest sand castle ever:

Tanner loves the beach just as much as I do...
Max, not so much. He'd rather snuggle with Papa Bob:
The mysterious umbrella. It was a slightly windy day, so Jeremy decided to try flying a kite... meanwhile a black umbrella just happens to go drifting by, so with his catlike reflexes he catches it. All while keeping his kite in the air, what a stud. A few minutes later the owner of the mysterious umbrella casually walks up to Jer and claims it. Weird.
We stayed the night in Astoria (where Goonies is filmed). It has this beautifully carved column that has 164 steps. Jer, Tan and I decided to climb to the top! How tiring! This is us at the top:

This is looking down on Mom, Dad, and Max:
Elephant Ears! Yummm... one of the main reasons we go to SeaSide:
Okay, we also love the Train Ride at SeaSide:
Cannon Beach. Beautiful:
What a perfect way to enter my thirties! Thanks Mom and Dad : )

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!
