Last day of school!


So I have been really lazy when it comes to keeping up on our family blog. I am going to blame it on my husband!!! As many of you know he had his foot amputated. Ok just joking but it seriously mine as well have been by the way he has been acting. He went in for foot surgery a few weeks ago, I guess 4 now. They had to re-attach some stuff and then put a screw in there to create cartlidge. I wish I would have taken a picture because it looked pretty bad afterwards. I felt bad for him for a few weeks, but I am starting to think he likes the attention. All I can say is that any desire to have a 3rd child has definantly flow out the window.


Anyways, I am going to back track to June. Brayden had his last day of school. Next year he get's to start Pre-K. It is going to be a serious adjustment, he will be going 4 days a week from 9am-1pm. We may have some serious speration anxiety between him and grandma Kelley! Both Rob and I are amazed at how much he has grown this year, both physically and mentally. He knows how to write his name!!! And some of the questions he asks me leave me speachless wondering how I am going to answer him. For example... "Mom what does force me?" What 4 year old can comprehend force. He is amazing and we created him! I wish I could freeze time it is just all going way to fast. So the other night Rob and I sat down and wanted to compare Brayden today to Brayden on the first day of school.

The first was take on his first day of school and the secon on the last! I really didn't plan it but he happened to be wearing the same shirt. He is so handsome!

Friends and Fun!

Last week on vacation we had our friends the Bothchers over for an impromptu BBQ. The weather was actually pretty nice! The kids were able to run for hours and had a lot of fun.






















































It was way to much fun, my head was hurting the next day! Why do drinks always go down so much faster and easier when the weather is nice! Thanks for coming over guys!





San Juan Trip

We decided to take a couple of days with the kids while we had the time off and take the Clipper to the San Juans. The kids really enjoyed the boat ride...


Leaving Seattle...







On the look out for some Orca whales????






This is deception pass....



I know it fuzzy, but this is a porpoise, closest thing to an Orca that we encountered.


Here is Friday Harbor!




Rams and deer....





We saw lots of bald eagles...








Though we didn't see any Orca Whales (which are actually dolphins- WHO KNEW???) it was one of the pretties places I have ever been!


We finally made it to our hotel room and it was pouring down rain!






We ventured out for a quick bite to eat, most the remainder of the evening was spent jumping from bed to bed, while Rob and I shared some adult beverages!



And watched Goonies!





Brayden thought he was Iron Man!






The next day, the weather was a little better, so we did some sight seeing!


and some bowling! I won, no matter what Rob says!




After the first game Kuenzie had officially had enough of Friday Harbor and was ready to go home to Grandma's and stay the night:(







Just so you know, these aren't logs, they are actually sea lions sun bathing!




And we were back in SEATTLE!

It was a lot of fun getting away just the four of us, even though we were exhausted by the time we returned. The kids did really good traveling and actually behaved and sat the entire 3 hour ferry ride. I actually had an older lady come up to me and tell me that I had the best behaved kids she had ever seen. DUH lady they are perfect:)
