Railroad Days

Posted on September 7, 2016 by Lindsey

In min-August we went to the annual pancake breakfast at the fire station followed by Railroad Days in downtown Snoqualmie. The weather was beautiful and warm, we saw lots of friends, and enjoyed a yummy breakfast we didn’t have to cook!

We marched in the parade with our State Senator, Mark Mullet. He owns Zeek’s Pizza and Ben & Jerry’s in Issaquah (which we are known to frequent) and is running for re-election. We helped out with his campaign four years ago, and although things have been a little too hectic at our house to volunteer as much this year, we were happy to join him at the parade. We told him this was the last time we would supply a baby though! 😉

Railroad Days Parade

Posted on September 6, 2012 by Lindsey

Snoqualmie celebrates Railroad Days over a weekend in mid-July. That Saturday morning, Jonathan took Avery and Kieron to the annual firefighter’s pancake breakfast at our local fire station. Of course, they loved it.

After that, we all headed out to march in the parade with local politician, Mark Mullet, who is running for State Senate in our district. We were lucky enough to be placed between the Seafair Pirates and the unicycle club. The Pirates had a (very loud) cannon, which they set off probably a dozen times throughout the parade. The boys loved seeing the scalawags, but got pretty tired of their mischief. In the end, Avery got a doubloon from one of them, so it all worked out.




5th District friends, vote for Mark Mullet!

Tourists in Snoqualmie

Posted on June 21, 2019 by Lindsey

I love lazy summer days that randomly turn fun in sweet, unplanned ways. The kids and I were just hanging around one morning with nothing going on. I decided we should go down to Old Snoqualmie and walk about and check things out. It’s an easy, flat place to go with all four kids, and I can let Layla walk without holding her hand and she is safe. We wandered around the old train museum and even found an area we’d never discovered before. The boys enjoyed reading about the local railroad history. We roamed in and out of shops and got ice cream cones. The kids were even feeling extra photogenic and wanted to pose for pics! Such a fun afternoon reminds me there is so much possibility in each and every day. I just need to bottle days like these!

  • My three wise monkeys! Always fun taking pics like these!
  • There is a gazebo downtown with a grand piano in it, available for anyone to play. Avery got on and started playing Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’! It was so sweet! There was a family nearby having a picnic, and people walking by, and I was so impressed that Avery felt confident enough to sit down and play a little concert!
  • Piggy back rides!
  • Ice cream cones at the recently remodeled candy shop
  • We spent a long time at the train museum

Visit from Uncle Brian

Posted on September 29, 2015 by Lindsey

My Uncle Brian came to visit from Newport Beach, CA last week. We checked out some of the local attractions – Snoqualmie Falls, the Railroad museum, and the Brewery. We also visited the boys at school for lunch one day. It was so fun having him and I really enjoyed watching the boys get to know him (and vice versa).

Family Portraits

Posted on December 8, 2012 by Lindsey

We did family portraits in October. It was actually our first time having official family pictures taken since our wedding nine years ago! My friend from high school, Lyndsey, is a photographer in Utah. We coordinated a shoot while she was out for a weekend visiting. After weeks of sunshine, it started raining the day she arrived. Due to the weather, we ended up switching our destination from the Snoqualmie railroad museum to the Issaquah railroad museum and squeezed photos in between rain showers. They turned out great and we’re thrilled to have a variety of cute pictures of all of us together.

The boys had a fabulous time being models for someone else besides their parents. Avery still talks about it and can hardly wait to do pictures with Lyndsey again!
















Friends since jr. high

The boys really wanted to wear their super hero shirts, so we told them if they were good boys for pictures, we would take some in them at the end.
