cannon beach.

this past weekend we headed out to cannon beach to spend some time with jerry and dotti! parker was sooo excited that he didnt fall asleep on our way there...staying up until after 10!

We arrived late thursday night, giving us a full weekend of relaxing and fun.

the weather wasnt awesome...lots of rain and wind but the temperature was warm so we manage to get out to the beach a ton!

it was such a great weekend. lots of food, hanging out, playing in the waves, watching football, playing games...we loved it! plus as a bonus going to the coast was on our bucket list for Seattle! hooray!

(the by way...dotti was totally there! the two pictures she was in that i took her eyes were closed :( )

livin' the dream.

yup, that's right. just livin' the dream out here in seattle.

well, i should say parker is.

today the library made many little boys (and girls) happy.

parker did many a happy dance.

fire fighters and fire trucks.

yup. came to story hour.

never thought i'd see a kid star stuck at such a young age.

 (his face when i asked are you excited?)

 can hardly stop fake smiling...that's how geeked i am!

 "real fireman reading, mama!"

 aaah!

 in the truck...contain excitement...dont pee pants...oops doesnt matter

 flash light...too cool!

fist bump and run away!

parker's dream come true...i'm sure he'll be talking about it for days!

four months!

this month has been all about the rolling!

madalyn easily rolls from her back to tummy...she sticks that head up high to smile at you once she's rolled over. she's quite proud of her new talent...that is until she no long wants to be on her stomach ;)

she seems to be getting longer...however her legs are still chunky!

she loves to talk in the mornings, loves her brother, and loves to kick her legs!

she is very strong! in physical strength and will.

oh, and the smiles. madalyn just has some of the best smiles.

you have to work for them but they are pretty great!

smiley, smiley :)

oh those thighs...yum
