Baseball Season!
Baseball season has been so much fun this year. We’ve been lucky with the weather and the fact that the games are right at the bottom of the hill at Juanita Beach Park has made it so easy. Skyler usually brings her best buddies, Ari and Gwen, with us and the girls (including Presley)…
Neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt
I talk about our neighborhood a lot – 26 kiddos under the age of 12 in a 3 block area. How cool is that? Liam and Skyler can come home from school and actually play….like kids should. Presley is now starting to go up into the cul de sac as well to be with her “friends.” Skyler…
Presley and Grandma at Gymnastics
Well, grandma couldn’t let her baby be ignored. With Skyler getting so much attention from gymnastics and Liam with baseball, grandma enrolled Presley into a mommy (grandma) and me class at the Gymnastics Connection. Presley is apparently a bit of a spazz running around like a chicken…
Cousin Alex comes to visit...
Cousin Alex came to visit us this last week and how special it was. He has turned into the coolest guy. Skyler literally cried when he left. He brought with him a calmness to our otherwise chaotic life that was so nice. Down for whatever, he would sit and play guitar with…
Big Girl Bed
I’m not gonna lie….this one was hard. I had a huge lump in my throat as I walked into her bedroom tonight and saw her sleeping, for the first night, in a big girl bed. My last baby. Now out of a crib. Ughhh. Why why why can’t I just freeze time?
Mom and Dad's Anniversary
I know this blog is all about the kids, but I suppose its ok to post a couple pics of Leif and I too (since there would be none of these kids if it weren't for us after all!!!) It was our 12th year anniversary today. We went to our favorite restaurant – the same one we went to on our…
Skyler Performs at UW
Skyler and her team got to perform at a UW meet this weekend. It was so fun (maybe mostly for me) to go watch the college girls compete and then see Skyler out there on the floor. Now I may be biased, but she is so darling – the littlest one on the team this year and smiling so…
Darn Pneumonia Strikes Again
This time Presley. Poor little thing. But thank God that Children’s Hospital is in our backyard. She will be better in no time! When we walked in, she could hardly lift her head off my shoulder. Then they pumped her full of albuterol and she couldn’t stop bouncing off…
Cuddlebugs!
I can’t remember if I have written yet about Cuddlebugs but even if I have, it is worth two posts. We found them about a year ago – Katrin and Sara – the two most wonderfully sweet, compassionate, loveable women you could ever meet. And they love our Presley to pieces and Presley…
Our courageous little ripper and her crazy brother!
Skyler has improved so much this year at skiing. Leif takes her up every Friday and skis with her while Liam does race team. She is crazy coachable and loves to rip! And, whose kidding who? She looks awesome doin it! And then there is Liam who now goes down the hill…
