Fun in August! Some random pictures:)

Sweet baby girl! Sitting up all by herself, and so proud of it! She is such a happy baby and adores her big brother. She is 8 months old here! No teeth yet!

Caden got his haircut at a place in U Village. When it was done she asked if he wanted a mohawk and of course the answer was YES!! And then she asked what color?! Really? Does it need to be colored?! But he loved it...
We had a strange summer storm and it was pouring rain. Caden said he wanted to get out there in it and play with the umbrella. He loved to play in the rain! He loves to play outside and is such a sweet boy.
My little monkey at the Woodland Park Zoo. We went here lots this summer! He fell straight off the back right before this picture so he wasn't taking any chances and he was holding on with both hands!
Oh the SKUUT bike! One of the best purchases by far although the thing needs breaks! Caden is a maniac on this thing and has developed so much confidence and balance. People can't believe he is only 3 when they see him whizzing around Queen Anne on this!

Summertime fun!

We spent the day at Nana and Papa's and had such a fun day! Caden got to pick a bunch of fruit and veggies from the garden. He can always make himself busy there:) It was so fun to see the end result and eat fruit and veggies that had been grown at their house! 100% organic of course!

Reaching high in the trees to pick golden plums!
Some were ripe, some not so ripe! But you were having a blast!

Addison had fun too just watching! She loves to be outside...

The harvest! Squash, cucumber, cilantro, raspberries, cherries and plums!
Uncle Zach and Auntie Lolo stopped by and I thought this was a cute pic:) Uncle Zach loves the kids and has so much fun with them. He can always make them smile.

Special times with your Papa.

Floating the creek!

Hiking with Papa

Working in the yard!

Your very first hike, April 2009

Caden you LOVE to go to Nana and Papa's house and just be outside. You get to do all sorts of fun things with him and he simply adores you! You love trips in the boat on the creek, walking the little farm near by, and just helping with whatever he is doing! So here are a few special pics of you and your papa..

Just some fun Caden stuff!

We went to story time at a local kids store and you got to have your face painted. Of course you got mommy's favorite thing.. a spider! You didnt want me to wash this off of your face at bath time..


You could push a truck around for HOURS at the park. Seriously, it's one of your favorite things to do! You are just over 3 in this picture.


This is your growl. You used to growl at people, anyone we would pass, and it was so embarrassing! Now you growl in the trees in the backyard and "whack" spiders while doing it!


My sweet boy helping me make your all time favorite snack.. banana bread!

First Bath and wow does she love water!

So I am trying to pick up where I left off.. And I know I have been absent for a while. These first few months have been busy! But since this is going to be like my kids baby book, I gotta get with it. So here it goes.

Addison, we gave you your first bath and you LOVED it. You have proven to be quite the water baby so far! You love to kick around, don't mind water in your face and don't at ALL mind cold lake water on a hot day. You are proving again to be the easiest baby possible. We went to Palm Springs when you were 3 months old and loved relaxing in the floaty thing we brought for you. Sometimes I wonder if it's because you were born in the water? Anyhow it sure is fun!


This is you in the pool in Palm Desert at 3 months old. You LOVED floating around and almost fell asleep! You got lots of attention on that trip from your Nana, Papa, Uncle Zach and Auntie LoLo!

We had the hottest day ever recorded in Seattle.. I don't know the exact temp but it was over 100 on Wednesday, July 29, 2009. So we stuck you in the pool, in your exersaucer and you loved it!

She rolled.. oh, and loves her toes:)

Addison rolled over at around 4 months and found her toe at 5 months and boy must they be yummy!

Easter Sunday 2009

It absolutely POURED rain on Easter this year! We went to church in the morning and then had a very fun indoor Easter Egg hunt at Nana and Papa's house!
