My Dad Rocks at Carnival Games!

Today we did "The Puyallup"! We had such a great day taking Payton to the Puyallup Fair! Payton loved all of the animals, from the horses to the piglets he could not stop pointing and making noises at each new attractions he saw at the fair. Not to mention his Dad pulled off some amazing prize winning at all the carnival games. Trav won Payton FIVE prizes with his amazing dart throwing, frog tossing and ball rolling abilities! What a fun adventure. I can't wait for the boys to hit the rides next year and make this a new family tradition. We did stay tame with enjoying the fair food, but we couldn't leave with out taking home some of the famous Scones and Carmel apples. :)

Payton is the Best!

Payton is walking! Or at least taking steps on his own! It is so amazing the way his little mind works. He amazes me with something new everyday. Payton is 11 months and will be 1 on October 2nd! So weird to think that it has been almost a year. He is getting into everything and it defiantly keeps Trav and I on our toes. Enjoy Payton's pictures at 11 months!If you can't tell, I love him in this outfit. He lounges at lunch time.
Play date with Isabel.
Our squirrel Steven. He comes to the window everyday.
Payton can't get enough of Bodi.
Trav couldn't wait until his first birthday so he went and bought him his first 4wheel! Payton's feet don't touch the ground yet, but he still thinks its the greatest thing ever.

Fun with Lynnie

Lynne crashed at the Kalamakis Inn this weekend and made it a very entertaining weekend for us! I had such a blast laughing, catching up and joking around. I am pretty sure I am not entering into 7Eleven for a while though. Thanks for the laughs! Such fun times. Love you girl!

Stass' 30th Surprise Birthday Weekend

Kevin surprised Stacie by bringing her home from Boston and throwing her a surprise birthday party at Hectors in Kirkland on Friday night. She had no idea and it was so much fun to see her surprised! On Saturday we got together for a BBQ birthday celebration at the Gies' and then the girls headed back down to Kirkland for the evening. Happy 30th Birthday eem! Miss you already! Love you.

Cougar Football Saturday

The weekend of the 11th-13th, Brooke (Shinn) Burns was in town and we had so much fun. Friday night we had dinner at my house with Kel and Kristi. We laughed and drank wine and laughed even more. It was so great catching up. Saturday we went to the Coug game at Qwest Stadium. We had great seats and even got to go up in one of the suites for part of the game. The Cougs did not win, but it was so fun seeing all the friendly Coug faces, even those we haven't seen in a while. Enjoy our picts from the game. Brooke miss ya girl! :)
