Catching Up Another 3 Months!!

I am always catching up. I don't have time to blog everyday or even every week. Every3 months works for me. We have had a lot god times these past few months. I went down to Southern California with my kids alone....to visit family. (I really need to move closer to family because i really don't like to travel with 2 small kids) It was so great to see family and we had so much fun at Disneyland and we went to the wild animal park in San Diego. I will be honest it was really hard to go down and visit because I really didn't want to come back except I did want to see my husband and get his help with the kids. I love it down there it is the greatest place to live... We also took the kids to the fair here in WA it was fun but such a waste of money but Ethan enjoyed and so did my husband.
Now we are enjoying the holidays. We went to a friends house and carved pumpkins with them. We also have made lots of yummy treats and we had friends come over on Halloween and we all we trick or treating together. Thanksgiving was a lot of fun. Bretts cousins live close by so him and his wife and baby came over and spent the night for a few nights. As you can see we made a lot of food for 4 people. We had 5 pies. 4 pumpkin and 1 banana cream pie. This was my first Thanksgiving that I have had alone without family everyone making things it was stressful and a lot of work but it was a lot of fun. Then Bretts cousins wife(Brekke) and I went to Walmart at 12:00 and then we went to Old Navy at 3:00 in the morning it was crazy....I don't think I will do Black Friday again but it was fun. I waited in line for about 45mins outside of Old Navy then another 45 mins inside to check out I was so tired. But I did get lots of great things but come to find out I could have gone online at 3:00 on Old Navy and gotten the same deal. So frustrating....

I was upstairs getting ready and I had made these carmel chocolate dipped pretzels and i came downstairs to check on him and this is what I found. I little boy who was covered in chocolate.

We are having a great time up here in Seattle. The weather so far has been beautiful but I am waiting for the day when its starts raining and it doesn't stop. Then i will probably be depressed for awhile. Brett and i took the kids to the fair and Ethan had a blast. He loved all the games and rides. He also loved the animals. All I have to say is the fair is fun but it is a rip off. Everything is so so over priced. But it was a lot of fun. We also went to Snoqualmie Falls and it was really nice and really pretty.

Luke started sitting up at 6 months crawling 7months standing up and moving along furniture slowly at 71/2 months and now he is trying to get up the stairs. My boys have so much energy and they both don't stop. I think my next one will be a little bit more clam but I said this about Luke and that didn't happen.

It was cute to see Ethan try to hit the thing like his dad. He is always trying to do what his dad does.

Ethan loves to ride on rides.

of course Brett wanted a picture with Ethan in front of a big monster truck

Seattle here we come

We are here in Seattle now. I have to say first that I flew with by myself with a 2 year old and a 6 month old let me tell you that wasn't fun. I really don't want to have to do that again. But I know I will because I want to go and visit family.
Seattle has been a blast since we have been here we have been busy. We have gone and done a lot of fun things. We have gotten to know a lot of great people who have made us feel welcome. We love our neighborhood. We couldn't have asked to move in a better neighborhood. Here are some pictures of Seattle on Big update since we have been here and we are happy to be here for right now. We miss family and friends but we hope people will come and visit.

Seattle is beautiful

There a lot of little beaches to lake Washington or the ocean its a lot of fun that we can still go to the beach with the kids.

We went to a little farm and saw lots of fun farm animals

We went to Belleuve to the Botanical Gardens
