Mike's Work Party

For Mike's summer work party this year they had it at Wheeler Farm. They gave us dinner and had fun blow up toys and things for the kids. I feel so blessed that Mike has this new job. It really has been a blessing in our lives!!

Abby LOVED this slide.. she went down it over and over and over again!

Lauren was a little more nervous to go down this slide, but as soon as she saw that Abby was having so much fun, she finally tried and LOVED it as well. Then we were able to watch her go down it over and over and over again as well!!

 

Lauren was excited and very nervous to get on the boat and get her picture taken with this pirate. Abby on the other hand didn't want anything to do with him!! =)

Fun in the Pool

So one thing that I really have enjoyed about living in a condo is the fun pool we have!! The girls absolutely love to go swimming. I have to say that my little Abigail is becoming quite the swimmer too. She loves to put her head under the water and see how far she can swim. Lauren still gets a little nervous, but everytime we got in, she was more and more brave!

Trip to Seattle

I feel pretty lucky! I was able to drive back to Bainbridge Island, WA with my aunt Jeanette and cousin Jake. It was a really long drive (we drove straight through), but we had a blast! While I was there we were able to visit Seattle.

My aunt Jeanette and I at the Harbor

This is a fun tree they have on the island. I think it is called a "Monkey Tree"

This is the view from my aunt and uncle's apartment. They have fun little shops and a bakery underneath. It was fun to walk downstairs to the bakery and get me a yummy Italian Soda!!

On the way to Seattle

Good thing the fishy smell didn't really bother me for this pregnancy! It was fun to watch them toss the fish to eachother at this place

The super yummy restaurant we ate dinner at one night

GUESS WHAT??

Dinosaur Days at the Zoo

We went to the zoo with my mom one day and we were able to see all the Dinosaurs that were there. They were actually really fun! It was a rainy day, so it made it a little creepier too.. =) We had a great time!

Lauren turns 4 years old!!!

For Lauren's birthday party this year she wanted to do a "fish" theme again. That was kinda fun, cause we had most of the stuff from when she had the same kind of party when she was 2 years old!! We had a fishing pond (the kids loved doing this to get their yummy treats and prizes), little kiddie pool (that they all seemed to want to get in at the same time), a slip and slide, cupcakes (decorated like fish in an ocean (wish I took more pictures of them.. other than them on their faces =) ), and just some fun fishy music. Lauren had such a great time!! I can't believe that she is already 4 years old!! They are growing up way too fast for me!
