Cousins

My cousins from New York are here visiting for a few days so we decided to kidnap Paige for the night to hang out. Mara just loves Paige and thinks she is the coolest teenager she knows! All of us went to dinner, frozen yogurt, hung out and then went to donuts for breakfast! We love it when they come into town and we get to spend time together.

I did however freak out when Paige was talking to me about college. What?? I swear she was just born yesterday and now we are discussing colleges, apartments and the future. I know she will be successful and safe in all her endeavors, it just scares me how quickly time flies and how before I know it I will be having these same conversations with my own daughter.

All I have to say to that is "Carpe Diem"

Maya Papaya

Baby girl Maya and Mac came down to visit for an afternoon. It was so much fun to play, color and snuggle with little Maya. I can hardly believe how big she is and how quickly she is growing up.

Tree Climbing

Mara and I went for a little adventure down at Point Defiance. The trees, dirt and views of the water are so beautiful. Mara climbed up pretty high and then was a little scared coming back down. I told her to run and scream down the dirt hill. Mara didn't believe me that it would be fun but after she did it she was ready to climb right back up and do it again. Yay Mara for being brave and for overcoming obstacles in life that scare you! This will be the first of many but with you sweet heart and brave spirit I know that you will do great things! I love you...

Happy 2nd Birthday Emma!

Last weekend went  up to the Boyds to celebrate Emmas 2nd Birthday! The theme was Minnie Mouse and Sarah really out did her self with the decor, goodies and games. The girls had so much fun celebrating with Emma, who by the way is just to cute for words and I sorta think she knows it! This girl is chatty and really hams it up for the camera.

Thanks Emma for sharing your special day with Mara and Gracelyn!

Goofy

Mara and her Best Friend Lillian decided to dress up crazy. They picked the smallest, most unmatched items they could find and then put on a show. OH and Lillian as you can see was "expecting" during this show. These two are so cute together, goofy as ever and really love each other so much. I am so glad that in our awesome little school Mara has found the best of friends!

Dog Walkers

Last Sunday the girls and I took "Trixie" my mothers furry friend for a walk. The girls think that this is their dog and quite frankly it is the closest they will come to getting a dog so I let them enjoy it every now and then. Trixie is sweet, well behaved and super cute. The girls love on her and she loves on them. Other then being a beggar I really have no complaints. Hoping for sunny days so we can have more walks in the near future!

Jr. Daffodil Parade

The rain let up for a few hours Saturday morning so we could participate in the Junior Daffodil Parade.  The kiddos had so much fun passing out their flowers and watching all the floats, dogs, clowns, princesses and kids having so much fun.

Gracelyn was there with her two besties Haley and Karys. Thanks guys for a fun sleepover and parade!
