We met our friends Carrie, Emi, and Kenzi at the Pacific Science Center last week for a morning out. It was a Monday and wasn’t crowded at all, which was great! On our way in The first thing we saw was the dinosaurs, but JT was very nervous (and a little upset) by the dinosaurs. RememberContinue reading “Pacific Science Center”

October in the Park
I had such a wonderful time at the park today with two of my favorite people. After spending the morning doing errands, we ate a quick lunch and rode bikes to the park to enjoy the slide. Haley loves the slide. She started kicking her legs and pointing as soon as we got there. Continue reading “October in the Park”
Homeschool. Sorta.
We didn’t put JT in preschool this year because we don’t want to send him for three years of preschool and he won’t start kindergarten until he’s six because of his summer birthday. I’ve been leary of starting anything formal at home because I felt like I couldn’t get into a routine with all ourContinue reading “Homeschool. Sorta.”
Chef JT
JT is really starting to get in to cooking. He helps at least one meal a day, sometimes all three. Today we made pancakes for breakfast and blueberry muffins for dinner. We need two cups of flour for the pancakes and I handed him the one-cup measuring cup and said, “We need two cups ofContinue reading “Chef JT”
Haley Lately
It has been so fun watching Haley change this past month or so from a baby to a toddler. Okay, so she isn’t walking yet, but I think she’s ready for this new category. Here’s why… She started playing with her doll house and the people that go with it (a birthday present from JimContinue reading “Haley Lately”
Swimming
My friend Lisa tipped me off that Kinderswimmer was having a screamin’ deal: half off for the whole month of October. We’ve been meaning to get back into swimming for awhile but we were so busy over the summer it just didn’t make sense. Fall is a perfect time for swim lessons, especially in aContinue reading “Swimming”
Salmon Days
It’s that time of year again! The coho and chinook salmon are slowly making their way upstream to spawn. JT, Haley, and I went to the Issaquah hatchery to see them swim in. We grabbed at McDonald’s lunch and ate together while we watched. (Haley didn’t get any McDonalds. She is eating a whole pearContinue reading “Salmon Days”
Radar Lake
We’ve been looking forward to this past weekend since June for three reasons: weekend away, weekend with friends, and skiing Radar Lake. Way back in June, my friend Dani invited us to her birthday weekend. She said, “We’re camping at this place called Radar Lake. We rented it for the weekend. Have you heard of it?”Continue reading “Radar Lake”
Summer Saga
Let me tell you a little story about this summer. On July 6, we got home from a lovely camping trip for the long weekend and found that the water supply line into our master bathroom toilet had cracked and leaked water all over the bathroom, through the floor, and into the office below. ItContinue reading “Summer Saga”
Roll Tide
We always look forward to fall for only one reason: college football. While Jim is a Husky, we also hold family ties to Alabama… we’re talking Civil War (and Jim married a Yankee girl!). We loved going to the game against Auburn two years ago and we’d love to go back for more. We alwaysContinue reading “Roll Tide”
