Thanksgiving 2016
My mom hosted Thanksgiving this year at her new place in Kirkland, which looks absolutely amazing. She lived through a total remodel and, in the end, it proved worth every minute of time the contractors spent (ok, not every minute....but you know what I mean). Her place is so perfect…
School Photos...what cuties
Yes I did forget that it was school pictures today. No I do not feel bad about that. Liam and Skyler always look adorable. :)
Presley's hurt foot....
I am posting this video to show the excruciating pain that Presley was in after Skyler hurt her (meaning Skyler's) ankle. Presley decided that because Skyler was hurt, somehow, so was she. She had such sympathy pain that she was limping around Cuddlebugs Daycare and they kept asking me…
Family Picture Time
This year we decided to go down to the waterfront at Lake Union to take pictures. The Amazon campus and the Seattle skyline was in the background. We had a classic moment that really describes perfectly where we are at in life.... About 15 minutes into the shoot, I pulled Jennifer (or…
Queen Presley
...or the child that didn't want to go to bed when you said it was time for night night.
Halloween Moon
I didn't have my phone on me tonight when Skyler, Liam and I walked down to get the mail so we had to take "picture memories" of the moon and store those pictures deep inside our brains! The moon was such a cool expression of how special those 30 minutes were. Both kids were so carefree as we…
Presley "coulours"
Each day that Presley comes home from Cuddlebugs, we go through this routine: Presley tells me she wants to "coulour". She says it very clearly.I tell her to get some paper and crayons.She makes her way to the art drawer, pulls it out with all her strength, and gets paper and markers out.I…
Presley and Grant
TThe two cousins, just a few weeks apart, have become such good friends. It is so sweet, and I appreciate so much, how my mom and Aunt Chris make such an effort to get them together. They say it reminds them of Travis and I when we were young. They now know each other's names…
What's daddy's name?
This evening, Leif asked Presley if she knew what his name was? She looked at him and hesitated momentarily. Then she said, "Weef".............no, "Honey." We laughed so hard. She is so damn smart! When I am upstairs and call to Leif who is working downstairs, I…
Pumpkin Patch 2015
We decided to go to the smaller pumpkin patch this year considering that Skyler had already been to the big one as a field trip and Liam would much prefer to play with his friends in the neighborhood these days rather than go with his family on an excursion (sniff sniff). Although not as…
