life lately. part one.

the last two weeks have been busy! we were blessed to have garth and mary come visit right after madalyn was born. parker loved having baapa and maama (grandpa and grandma) there to read stories, play chase, trucks...he was pumped!

so we were able to get out of the house and do a lot!

we went to a cute farm! below parker is chasing the peacocks with a carrot ;)

bunnies!

 eat this carrot...please

 he was super excited to meet this cow...then she licked him...not a fan of cow kisses

 goats!

 chickens! he had no fear and went right in and started to chat with the chicks and chase them about.

 and a train ride! he was excited...although his face says otherwise

we've been getting used to madalyn.

who has eyes...in case you were curious ;)

 proud big brother

 first bath!

 baby wrinkles

 no trip is complete without a ferry ride!

 cheese!

so cold! 

 and windy!

 all that wind made someone hungry!

part two tomorrow!

labor day.

ahhh. we survived.

brandon and i spent the weekend camping with the jhyg.

parker spent the weekend with the borsts.

we were re-united on sunday afternoon and spent monday relaxing and enjoying the sun!

we headed over to the ballard locks post morning nap.

we were hoping to see some salmon in the fish ladder.

no luck.

just one lonely fish.

parker was excited about the water though.

and pretty pumped about the water/lots of boats combo!

Snow Day continued...

yep...it's continuing! over night the snow turned to an icy rain and covered the snow

in a nice icy layer! awesome!

we woke to a mix of snow and ice and terrible roads!

so fun...i love you seattle.

on another note...yesterday was super entertaining.

we walked the neighorhood to see a few struggling people driving up hills

and people skiing, snowboarding, sledding down other hills (or streets)

take a look!

 oh the fit :)

 

 

 this truck thought it could go up the hill but then proceeded to slide back down...dont worry we moved out of the way!

what's this, you might ask?

 

yep a street party! complete with grill/bonfire and sledding, snowboarding down the hill!

 they were out there all afternoon until after 10 pm! crazy!

well...hopefully we will escape and be able to get to work tomorrow or take some new photos of the snow!

happy winter :)

SNOW DAY!!

Its snowing...a lot! No work for Brandon and me :)

Hope to post some sweet pictures after our walk around the neighborhood!

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
