August

Posted on September 18, 2016 by Lindsey

Here are a few more photos from the end of summer. I’m so glad we took this one of Grammy, Layla and me. Three generations of women!

And here were the three before us: Lily, Alta, and Mildred

Love walking up to the playroom and finding this:

Karate weapons camp

Snuggles with sissy

We visited the Warricks at their home in August. Layla and I stayed in the guest room while the boys camped in their back yard.

Ali, Silas & Kieron – think those ice cream cones are big enough?

Renee & Layla

Can’t be too cautious roasting s’mores!

These two have become such buddies over the summer!

Happy 13th anniversary to us! We celebrated with dinner at Purple in Bellevue

Just another summer BBQ

Movie Night – Watching The Little Prince

It’s hard to see with those balloon octopi in the way, but the boys loved playing with Layla’s new Little People princess toy

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!

Hayden, Sebastian, Avery & Kieron

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! 😉

Tooth Fairy

Posted on September 3, 2016 by Lindsey

The tooth fairy has been busy lately. And we should know, she’s been at our house a lot lately. On this particular night pictured below, Avery pulled out not one, but two of his molars!

Same pj’s another night

For a few nights Avery worked on extracting Kieron’s very stubborn two front teeth. We were impressed at both how cooperative and trusting Kieron was, and how serious Avery was.

Eventually Kieron’s stragglers, which had been hanging on for dear life, making him resemble an alpaca with snaggle teeth, FINALLY kicked the bucket. He lost his first front tooth one night, and the other the next. We were all relieved when they finally went.

Ultimately Daddy wiggled them loose with a little iPhone distraction

Happy boy can bite again without wincing!

Layla – Two Months Old

Posted on September 1, 2016 by Lindsey

Guess who turned two months in August! Little Layla is awake and alert more and more each day. And with that comes more sweet smiles! Our sleepy little newborn has already outgrown her first wardrobe, and is turning into an adorable little baby!

Avery assisted me with taking her 2 month photos. Here they are together. He is such a proud big brother!

Then all the boys came in for a shot together. Kieron wasn’t wearing his glasses, which have transitional lenses, so when they were all looking up at me, he was complaining that it was too bright. Poor guy could barely open his eyes!

She loves bath time!

And she loves her activity mat. She gets so excited when she kicks or hits the hanging toys.

She’s generally a pretty happy little girl

And with Mommy. She’s definitely not spoiled. Nope, not at all. 😉

Excelsior 2016

Posted on August 28, 2016 by Lindsey

Jonathan and the boys went camping at Excelsior at the beginning of August with a group of friends from Bellingham. They had a fun time catching up and exploring while Layla and I held down the fort.
