Still here I promise!

Sorry there haven't been very many posts lately, life is a little, well busier with two busy kids. The truth of it is we are absolutely blessed with our little Anna.  She is SUCH a good little baby and very content to be on her own most of the time.  She LOVES her swing and even to just lay on the floor and wiggle and giggle (which is what she's doing next to me at the moment :) ).  Like this...

Last week was quite an adventure.  We decided the girls and I would tag along to Bellevue, WA with Daddy for a class he was taking.  We were up there from Sunday evening to Friday afternoon and although there were some challenging situations, overall it was a blast! We got an amazing 2 story hotel room (70's style but layout was perfect) that enabled Katey to take her naps without Anna and I sitting in the hallway! :)  We also found an awesome play place in  a mall only blocks away and spent quite a bit of our time there as it stayed true to Seattle area tradition and rained almost the whole time.

 We also were able to spend part of a day with my good friend Kristin and her son Jaxon.  We decided to take the kids downtown Seattle and road the monorail. Such fun :)

Anticipation

(so excited to be on the momorail!)

Kristin & Jaxon

Great friends!

The kids fav thing to do at the mall!

Holding hands, something Katey would have done A LOT more if Jaxon would have aloud it. This was a rare moment where he actually complied.  I love it!

As far as pictures our life lately the only other ones I"ve even been taken have been at dear friends birthday parties.

Ty Pietzold turned 2!

First a fun craft

Anna was very involved

Then outside for bubbles!

While the babies hung out inside :)

Then cake time! Oh and Katey loves to sing "Happy Birthday"

And eat cake of course :)

Then opening presents

She loves to help open presents but sometimes its good to just sit and watch :)

Playing Basket ball with Ty's new hoop!

She kinds liked to just stand on it more :)



Holly Overby turned 1 (Katey was sick so just mommy went)

The beautiful Overby family!

Then just yesterday Stanley Overby turned 3!

Katey and Stanley are very good friends!

And Anna again was content to sit on the side and suck on her fist :)

Craft time, they made party hats.

 She's such a ham!

Playing with new friends

Eating a yummy lunch at a table full of kids :)

Then on to games, one of her favorites is ring around the rosies!

And parachute games!

Then dress up! So many fun hats to pick from!

We had to leave before cake but I managed to get a picture anyway!

We are so blessed to have so many fun friends and although the pics aren't always here, memories are definitely being made!
