Two Very Special Birthdays!

Happy Birthday Papa Terry and Oompah!

June 19th is a special day in our family.

We could not be there to sing to you Grandpa Terry so here is your birthday song.

We hope you both had a great day!

Happy Birthday.

Cabin Getaway

Addy and I took a mini-vacation to our friends' cabin near Lake Cle Elum WA. Rachel, Carrie, and their little ones that are close to Addy's age spent two nights at the cabin celebrating the start of summer vacation.

Addy and Jack playing in the sand at the park.

The kids enjoying the beach

and the pool.

Addy liked riding on Jack's battery powered quad.

We went into Suncadia for the day to play at the playground,

walk on the trails,

and see the fish in the pond.

Addy loved throwing fish food into the pond and watching the fish jump up to eat it.

Thanks Rachel for inviting us to the cabin! We had a great trip.

We can't wait for more playdates this summer.

Congrats Matthew

Matt received word yesterday that he was excepted to the UW executive business school. He will begin his MBA in the fall (most likely the weekend baby #2 is born). The program is designed for working professionals that do not live in Seattle so he will only be on campus three to four days a month. The rest of the work is done online or at home. It is going to be a crazy fall with new baby and new challenges but we could not be prouder of you Matt! UW is going to have make room for a Cougar to join the program.

Summer Time

School is out and we are ready to play!

Let's hope this nice weather sticks around for awhile.

Quick Trip to Seattle

to meet Charlotte Grace Juhl.

{She is such a sweet calm baby.}

Catch up with the Seattle girls,

and celebrate Diggy's recent engagement to Ryan at this yummy restaurant:

Even though it was short, it was so much fun to see everyone!

Cannon Beach Round 2

We headed to Cannon Beach again this weekend to spend time with our friends Drew, Emily, Mike, and Jody. Cannon Beach is always fun but if you are lucky enough to go on a sunny 70 degree day it is AMAZING.

Addy was obsessed with collecting seashells for her bucket.

Jody and Em sitting by the fire and watching the sunset.

Addy enjoying her first smore of the season.

Checking out the shops downtown

and exploring the tide pools.

They boys took turns flying a kite

and building a GIANT sand castle.

It was such a fun weekend. We did not want to come home. Addy keeps asking to go back to the beach house. Thanks Drew and Em for the invite. We look forward to more memories in C.B.

P.S. Here is a short clip of Addy writing her name in the sand.

Baby Easton

We drove up to Olympia on Monday to meet Baby Easton.

It is so exciting that so many of my college friends are having babies.

It was so good for Addy to be around a newborn since she is going to have to get used to one very soon. Addy was checking out his little toes.

Here I am practicing holding two babies!

Congrats Brambles! You have a beautiful baby boy.
