Seattle Fun

Jeff had a conference in Seattle this week, so I decided to tag along for the weekend. The weekend went way too fast, as usual, and now I am back to reality. Jeff, on the other hand, is still living it up! Here are some pictures of us at Pikes Place Market.

Check out the size of the shrimp and lobster tails! I couldn't believe how much seafood was there. These pictures make my mouth water.

There was a whole octopus on ice, as well as some crazy looking fish with it's tongue about to pop out. Yummy!

We went on a boat ride around Elliot Bay.

Seattle skyline + some lady's arm. Yes, my photography skills are amazing!We went to a baseball game - Mariners vs Red Sox. I think there were more Red Sox fans there then Mariners!


Finally, we went to the Space Needle, and had brunch at the rotating restaurant.

It was a great trip to Seattle, and the weather was great.

Thanks, John and Lezli, for watching the kids!

Our little mechanics

Jack and LK were working hard to make sure all of the tires on the toys were ready to go...while poor Eva was busy pushing Isabelle around.

Child labor hard at work :}


After getting their tires filled Isabelle and Eva were waiting for someone to take them for a spin.

Just Chillin'

Jack and Lily relaxing after a hard day!

After a little rest the game was on...

Baby Animal Days

Earlier this month we went up to Logan for Baby Animal Days. It was a lot of fun and the kids loved every minute of it. We started out with the kids petting all of the animals.

We went for a little wagon ride... Then the fun really started. They were having a little rodeo...sadly we missed the mutton bustin (I would have loved to see Jack doing that) but don't worry we made it for the stick horse barrel racing. All of the cousins competed it was great! The top 3 times won a prize Libbie took 3rd overall...and her big prize was a tomahawk. I think she was pretty impressed. Yes we were proud!

Thanks Grandma for taking us we had a great time!

Toadally Frogs!!

We went to the Natural History Museum a few weeks ago to see the toadally frogs exhibit. It was very interesting and the kids loved it.

Here's Isabelle making her walking debut at the museum....

Birthday Entertainment

My niece Via decided our birthday party at my mom's needed a little entertainment....so here is Via the Contortionist!!!

Apparently, at recess her and her friends gather people around and entertain them all.

Happy Birthday Isabelle!

Today is Isabelle's birthday...for some reason I scheduled her check up today. So for Isabelle's birthday we have spent 2 hours in the doctors office, she received 4 shots and 2 ear infections!!! Yeah what a birthday! I can't wait to see what next year brings...

Although, she is lucky enough to share a birthday with her Uncle Greg! Happy Birthday Greg!!

Isabelle enjoying a ride on her new Giraffe! Thanks Grandma & Grandpa. Isabelle and Jack have been cruising around on it all week!Isabelle cheesing in her new car...this will be her first and only new car! (Unless Grandma & Grandpa buy her another one) Thanks Grandma & Grandpa!Now it is Jack's turn to give the pink cadi a test drive.Isabelle couldn't wait to get to her car so she just took off after it. Luckily, Lezli got a picture of her first step! We tried to stage a reenactment so I could take a video but of course she didn't cooperate :{Evidence of her birthday shots! :}
