Gotta Love the Classics!

Nana gave us a coupon for a free rootbeer float at A & W, so we went and the kids LOVED it! I did too. The four of us split a float and some chili cheese fries. YUM!

Ezekiel giving himself a haircut...

Kitsap Steamers

Papa and Nana offered to take Ezekiel and Lani to the Kitsap Steamers, a live train nearby. Ezekiel kept shouting "ALL ABOARD".

Hanging @ home...

Just playing around...

Besos...

Daddy was cutting down a branch and the kids wanted to help out so they grabbed their saws too!


We had our friends over for a sleepover this weekend, it was so fun to hang out with my girlfriend and her sweeties in our pjs'.
This is Ezekiel's first crush...I will post the day their eyes first met soon!


Lyric and Lani chillin' and yes, Lani did put her crocks on OVER her pajamas.

Thomas The Train Party

Today we were really busy running errands, I guess you could say we are trying to get all of the lose ends tied before baby #3 shows up. Priorities such as hair toner, a cell phone that works, pellets for the pellet stove to heat the home, frozen meals from Costco oh and to be home for OSU BEAVERS football...completed our list. Today we also wanted to squeeze in taking the kids to the local library for a Thomas The Train event they were hosting. Ezekiel had been talking about it all week and he LOVES Thomas the Train. They had four stations set up in which you were to get a stamp at each then at the end recieve a goodie bag. We made the tail end of the event and had a short and sweet time. :)

When we first walked in Ezekiel went to the first station (the train table) to test out all of the cars. He DID NOT want to leave this station.

The Photo booth

Mr.Conductor... Went around blowing his whistle saying "All Aboard" Ezekiel LOVED this part.

The coloring station (Lani wanted to have a variety of colors) which meant that no one else could color.

This was where we made cookies (Thomas (blue) or Persie (green)) while Ezekiel decorated his cookie, Lani ate the frosting off hers.

The kids with their train tickets around their neck and Ezekiel with his award which he recieved a (Jr. Engineer Certificate just like his daddy). :)

36 Weeks!!

We are all getting VERY excited to meet the little one that's been kicking away lately. :)

Congratulations Honey!

Today Dave signed his First Design (Plant-wide fiber optic network). Thankfully they captured this experience on camera. We're sooooo proud of our daddy and husband!

The Fair

I gained ten pounds today! What you don't see in these pictures, is the entire elephant ear we indulged. The cotton candy, mini burgers, fries, ice cream, soda pop, tacos and other crappy food that was sooooo worth going to the fair for.
We had a blast, Ezekiel loved having his face painted(the lady said close your eyes and he squeezed them as tight as he could!) Lani wasn't a fan this time around, maybe next year. Our thoughts being that the kids favorite part of the fair would bethe animals were completely off, if it were up to them they would have gone on as many rides as the height requirement would have allowed. :)

Enjoying one moment at a time...

Bathroom Remodel...

Our one and only bathroom was suffering from some water damage around our bathtub leaving our subfloor soggy attracting bugs and mold. We didn't have the funds to pay for a contractor so Dave and a friend took on the project themselves in one weekend. I drove the kids down to Kelso where G & G H. met me so that we didn't have to have the kids here during this project.

Before..





When I came home the same afternoon after dropping the kids off here is what our bathroom looked like.



After... :)

Happy 1000th day of life Ezekiel!

I can't believe I don't have a picture of these gorgeous beds yet. I will take one soon I promise. G & G Hueberger gave us their bunkbeds which were used for Uncle Joe and his buddies. They are practically brand new and sooo beautiful. They brought the beds up for the kids the second weekend in August which meant Lani's crib came down!

Our little girl at 19 months is going in her own big girl bed. I will take some pictures with that transition soon. It went really well and the kids LOVE their "new" beds.

The pictures I'm attaching are from the visit from G & G Heuberger. We also went to my parents house for dinner and celebrated Ezekiel's 1000th day of life. Papa & Nana Simpson thought it was important to recognize this and Ezekiel was very thankful for his cake. :)
