The last family picture at 18530 130th Pl. NE, Woodinville, WA 98072  This Woodinville house has seen our families through so many firsts: engagement, wedding, airplane build, and most amazingly two incredible kids to name a few.  We absolutely loved our Woodinville home and the neighbors, but the commute and bigger yard will make the next…

Wow, all it takes is an article.  I read somewhere that if you potty train before 2.5 years old it is supposed to be much easier.  The idea of having the potty accidents in the old house out weighed the additional work it meant on top of a ton of “to dos” with the move…

Cooper did it!  He is now riding on two wheels!  The small hill outside our house is exactly the slope he needs to even get started on his own.  We had purchased a bike for him, but it was too big so we had to add training wheels after he moved to it from the…

Our annual trip to Jackson Hole to visit Nana and PopPop is so much fun.  This is our 6th annual flight to Jackson in our plane. We really enjoyed attending the small town parade last year and thought we would travel there again for the 4th of July this year.  Everyone got on their festive…

These two love to play together.  Cooper loves to ride and Nicholas loves to push, stroller, cart, toys, anything.  It cracks me up to see little brother pushing big brother around town. Exhaustion finally won over a Cooper.  I love all the toy action on his floor and then it looks like a pool noodle is…

Development: Words, Nicholas’ sounds have grown leaps and bounds this quarter.  We were reminded that back in February he only made a ‘ba’ and ‘ma’ sound.  There were slight differences in the many uses of ba that stood for everything from brother to bottle to airplane.  Now he has a string of sounds and is…

Blake, my “fake” cousin, Shannon’s son was born on 4/30.  The boys are so excited to welcome a baby to our family.  They love to love on him.  They were so happy and convinced that they could make baby Blake laugh and watch him in his swing.  Both boys also decided it would be a…
