Halloween 2015

This year we joined Mamie and Papa at their awesome neighborhood party for Halloween!

The kids went as Minions, which of course I planned sometime back in August (ha!)  I got my Mom working on revisions by late September, and so the planning process was pretty light this year (for me anyway.  Thanks again, Mom!)

At the last minute (we're talking a day-of, nap time "ah-ha" moment), Kevin decided to go as Gru, which left me out of the loop, but with nursing and the general requirements of Mommyhood, I had enough going on.  Either way, it was a lesson learned.  Starting next year, it's back to family costumes (it's just so fun!)

Anyway, we stopped by Gma and Gpa's on the way out to West Seattle to show them the crew.  Being the great cheerleaders that they are, they dressed up in support of our little broad  :)








After hangin' with the fan base, we were off to Mamie and Papa's for the party!

Since the weather was rainy, they rented a large tent and heater, so everyone enjoyed an evening outdoor with food, drinks, and great company!  Steph and Reid joined us too, so it was fun hanging out with them for the night.

And of course, Abigail and George's favorite part was trick or treating, the candy, and the endless stream of hot dogs, juice, and chips  ;)

Starting it off right at Pap's train table (where he stayed for the first hour)

And finally left, with trains in hand  ;)

More chips!

Abigail talked for weeks about how Papa was going to be dressing up as a hot dog  :)

Ending the night right with an episode of Thomas

We had a great time celebrating Halloween this year!  Thanks again Mamie and Papa for such a fun party- we had a blast!

I hope everyone enjoyed an equally enjoyable night.

Happy Halloween!

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!
