Gpa Jim & Gma Jo

Grandpa Jim & Grandma Jo were here to help us celebrate Brandon's birthday. We had lots of fun going to games, eating, shopping & sight-seeing. Thanks for the fun visit!

Snoqualmie Falls





Busy blogging.

Perrie's first baseball game. The Mariners pulled it off in the 9th inning!





I don't know what to say about this one...

Happy Birthday/Father's Day!

Well, we are officially old now. Brandon entered his thirties and celebrated his first Father's Day all on the same day. Brandon, it's been a great year and I'm sure will only be more fun. Happy Birthday!

Weekend with the Ladies

This weekend, we enjoyed a visit from my mom, Dana, Debbie, and Carolyn. That was a lot of estrogen around for Brandon, but he survived. We had tons of fun ... as you can see!

Squealing with excitement at the new visitors.




Look out for the giant octopus.

First trip to the aquarium


Gas Works Park


Duck tour!


Ferry to Kingston/Bainbridge Island




On the beach at Kingston.




Perrie is learning about the waves.





Eating ... again! There is no shortage of good food in Seattle and we are always game to take you to our favorite spots!


Picnic at the Locks -- what perfect weather!



Debbie, Dana & my mom atop the Space Needle.


This sums up our weekend perfectly!

Half-Birthday

Happy 6 months Perrie!!

Discovering Discovery Park

One great thing about Seattle is all of the parks scattered around the city. Last weekend, Perrie and I explored Discovery park with Chelsea & Ben. With 11 miles of trails it was pretty easy for us to get lost, but luckily we found our way out.

Carrots and more

"I love carrots!"


My last day as a twenty-something. :(


Perrie, show us your tongue ...




Happy baby!


I had to include this picture because one of our friends said that she has never seen rolls on the front of a baby's knees before -- it must be all of the carrots that she is eating!


Have a great week!
