Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we spent the day with Anne, Ian, Mamie, Papa, and the kids at the pumpkin patch.

(We've been on a roll with quality cousin time and I love it!)

In keeping with our new tradition, we headed to Swan Trail Farms and spent the morning eating cider donuts, walking through hay and corn mazes, going on a hay ride, looking at farm animals, and going on a few rides.  We did everything BUT buy a pumpkin  :)

The kids had so much fun exploring the farm.  Abigail especially loved the hay ride and looking at the big Mama Pig.  She didn't however enjoy the cow barrel ride... the kids were all buckled in ready for their ride, but as we waved goodbye she started to panic.  Next thing we know the kid driving the tractor stopped- Abigail was in full melt down mode (cue adorably patchy red face and big crocodile tears..)

Aside from that, she had a blast  :)

Here are some pictures from our oh-so-fun-family adventure:







A little tight...

Lake Wenatchee

Happy Birthday, Kevin! We spent an awesome 4 days on Lake Wenatchee this past weekend; relaxing by the lake, (attempting) to fish, playing in the water, and enjoying quality time together as a family.  Our parents joined us on Saturday afternoon to celebrate Kevin's birthday; a wonderful day full of family, food, and the great outdoors. Weekend highlights include Fish Lake on Friday (Abigail and i will not be invited back for the next fishing adventure...we may have mangled the line more than once), a trip into Leavenworth for pizza and dancing at the gazebo, a steak feast for Kevin's birthday, and relaxing by the bonfire that evening. Here are some pictures of our trip. Friday at Fish Lake "helping" Dad with his tackle While Kevin fished, Abigail and I fed Parmesan garlic pita chips to the ducks. At one point, we had a crowd of 10! Ladies of leisure on the lake  :) This sums up our fishing experience... Thursday evening f...

20 week ultrasound

Yesterday Kevin and I went to our 20 week ultrasound.  Everything looked great and the two questions still lingering in my mind were confirmed. 1) Yes, it's a boy! 2) Nope, I'm not having twins  :) I've heard it a million times: with each pregnancy you pop a little sooner, but when I was in maternity pants at 12 weeks, I thought surely there must be two in there... Here are some pictures, if you'd like to see. During George's 20 week ultrasound Kevin admitted he'd almost fallen asleep, so I will admit: I had a hard time staying awake this time  :) But we did get to see him in 4D ultrasound which we've never done before, so that was really cool. So fun! After our appointment we went to breakfast at Salish Lodge and took my first Month of Bumps picture. (cue shrills of excitement from everyone eager to see belly pics for the next 4 months!) Before taking the picture I (lovingly) assured Kevin that yes, we would be taking...

It's Santa Time!

Kevin and I kicked it up a notch this year for our annual visit to Santa with dinner at Hamanasu followed by a night at the Hyatt! We've been waiting to make this a bigger deal (add the overnight piece) for a few years, but this was the first year we felt the kids were old enough for it - and it was sooo much fun!
