Nana and Pop-pop Visit
A Nana and Pop-pop visit isn’t complete without a few adventures. We went to the Evergreen State fair where Cooper got to ride his first carnival ride. He chose the cars. They even went to the locks to find some salmon and watch some boats. We explored the Children’s Museum in Everett. The change collecting hurricane…

First Day of Preschool
Cooper is a preschooler! The excitement is building as we leave for school. With Nana and Pop in town, Cooper got the double parent drop off today. We were being silly in the car waiting for the school doors to open. Totem Preschool first day drop-off, with custom school bag in hand.

Blue Friday
Happy Blue Friday and the start of football season. Cooper loved waiting for Nicholas to go down the slide together. Nicholas loved to hold onto this handle (and wouldn’t let go even after sliding down) ultimately rotating him on to his belly as he slide down the slide. We love Miner’s Corner park for the great…

When I saw Doris a few months ago, for the first time since our wedding, she had mentioned wanting to see the Baker kids. Getting word of this request and learning her…

Ballooning!
After years of watching the hot air balloons floating over Woodinville we decided we needed to be in one ourselves. It was on Rob’s bucket list and I loved this idea so it was his birthday present last year. We flew with Balloon Depot out of Snohomish. That morning the two pilots spent a lot of…

Fun Dentist Visit
Cooper has a very understandable fear of the dentist. He continually asks for reassurance that they will not pull a tooth out when we go. Our local pediatric dentist, Dr. Rama, understands this and requested we schedule two fun visits before his next cleaning. I was very impressed with this “fun visit”. He used all of…

Daddy Time
Daddy time is the highlight of every weekend! He is so much fun to play with. At a party this weekend, Daddy was teaching Cooper the fine art of pouring a beer from a keg. Teaching life skills at the ripe young age of 3. Nicholas woke up early from his nap and enjoyed some…
