Baking

All three of kids love to bake! The kids

helped make an entire flourless cake by themselves. Kaitlyn has now learned all about dry measuring cups, liquid and the different sizes of the measurement spoons. Brookes favorite thing to say is up---- meaning she wants up on the island to help cook. Kids are stirring and melting the butter and chocolate for the cake for thanksgiving.

Seattle 1/2 marathon

I ran the Seattle half marathon on Sunday. It was a wet hilly 13.1 miles but I didnt stop and ran the entire way and felt pretty good! Thank you to all of my family who came out to support me! I really enjoyed looking for everyone- lets face it- 13.1 miles is a long way to run and looking for people I

knew gave me something to do for the 2 hrs 12 min.

Silly time

Brother and little sister time. These are the cabinets in our family room. I caught them being silly climbing up and hiding in them.

My girls

A while back my parents took the kids to see a dolphin tale in 3d. Some how we ended up with the glasses at home. Kaitlyn has since punched out the lens and wears them. Brooke has now ta

ken them and copied her big sister and wears the glasses. What goofy little kids I have.

Jingles the Elf

We have an elf in our house for the holidays. The kids are so excited! They names our little elf Jingles. Jingles returns to the north pole nightly to report back to Santa on how behavior was during the day, when he returns he is in a different spot. Daily it has been the kids getting up and looking for Jingles. What a fun holiday traditions. I wonder how lucky we are to have been chosen to receive and elf.

Our Wa Life

We have had a busy few months! Ryan Gradutated from Dental school, we moved acrossed the country, bought a new house, bought a new car, the kids started new schools, Kaitlyn and caleb completed soccer and swim lessons. Decorated for halloween---- I think that just about covered it. I thought I would be done blogging but realized that I truely have missed out on documenting what is going on in my kids lives- crazy it is so much easier to blog it that write it in a baby book. So here we go! Here are a few photos from the past few months.
