Family Time with a Twist
We love to bring our extended family together a few times a year. It typically takes a month or two to find a date that works for everyone’s calendar. When the day arrived we were without power from an overnight storm. That didn’t stop us from hosting everyone and the lack of power had minimal…

Stroller Splurge
We were trying to avoid a double stroller. We figured Cooper would be tired of riding in the stroller by the time that Nicholas got to heavy for a carrier. Well, Cooper still loves to ride in the stroller and Nicholas is passing the 20lb. mark. This means we broke down and splurged on a…

Boo!
Cooper loves to close his eyes or have you close yours and then yell “boo” to open them. At night he asks me to lay on his bed and close my eyes. Daddy takes him to use the potty and then he runs back in, with naked buns, to yell boo inches from my face so I…

Tucson Adventures Continued

Here she is helping him get a teether in his mouth. Stella stacked up these blocks over and over again so Nicholas could knock them down. She…

Tucson Adventures
Tucson Zoo, we love this place. It is the perfect size for the kids to walk without getting tired. It was a chilly mid 70s morning. The Seattle crew was in shorts and short sleeves while the Arizonians were in sweatshirts and many talking about how cold it was. We scored on this zoo visit.…

New Quilt and Skill
Nicholas is loving his new quilt from Grandma. It makes his room so colorful and cheerful, thanks again Grandma! Today Cooper showed me he has picked up a new skill. He can now open the refrigerator all by himself. Hmm… The first thing he grabbed from the fridge was a beer. His Daddy ‘s dreams…

Daddy Adventure
This morning marks Daddy’s first adventure out with both boys by himself. They headed to the grocery store, with a pretty long shopping list, not an easy task. The boys loved Daddy time and Cooper talked about their adventure all day long. What did Mama do for her first hour alone in the house since…

Family Photos
We had family photos with Chelsey Hawes Photography in Tacoma at Wright Park. We were excited to capture our family of four surrounded by the beautiful fall colors. What we didn’t plan for is a toddler who was very excited to take pictures during the 1 hour drive to get there, changing his mind as soon as we arrived.…

Helper
This evening Nicholas decided he would help Daddy work. Please note that he is strategically placed so that he can’t reach the keys. We don’t call him “Mr. Grabby” for nothing. For a comparison, before selling it, I wanted to try my first handmade costume for Cooper on Nicholas. They are definitely brothers! Originally I…
