That's a peach, hun!

Anna and mommy decided to join the boys on a golf outing.  We had so much fun on our family golf day!

Alex's 5th Birthday Party!

We were lucky enough to be given a gift certificate for a birthday party at a fire station (thanks Nina!), so Alex got to have a very cool 5th birthday party at the Bothell fire station.  The kids even got to take turns spraying a real fire hose!

A tour of the station with the firefighters.

I'm just here for the food.

Attempting a family photo, maybe in a couple more years we'll get one where you can see everyone's face!

Clean teeth!

Our annual trip to the dentist. I thought the boys looked so cute lounging on the exam table, wearing shades and watching movies on the ceiling while getting their teeth cleaned.

Beach play date

Not a bad life being a 3 year old.

Sweet girl.

Playing on the beach is SO exhausting!

Some random pictures of Alex at school, it's always fun for me to see him in action during class.

Summer fun!

Summer is FINALLY here and we are thoroughly enjoying it!  The boys are especially enjoying the the Slip & Slide that Adri got Tyler for his birthday (what an awesome idea).  We have already logged quite a few hours sliding up and down the yard, over and over. It is so funny to watch the boys, they love it!

4th of July!

We had a very fun and busy 4th of July.  We caught a ferry in the morning with Nana and Papa to head over to Bainbridge Island for their 4th of July parade.  It's a wonderful small town parade that is fun for the kids.  After the parade we came back to Seattle for a BBQ at Nana and Papa's house where we ran around outside, played baseball, drove the "Red Racer" and had a yummy dinner.  After the BBQ the boys got to try their very first fireworks!  Adri brought home some sparklers for the boys, which they thought were SO cool.  After sparklers, we headed to the tennis club to watch the fireworks show, which was AWESOME.  It was a late night and a jam-packed day but we had a GREAT time!!

The Big 4-0!

To Brad's dismay he finally turned 40 this year!  His sisters and mom did an awesome job of planning a double birthday bash to celebrate both Brad and long-time family friend Cara's 40th birthday.  It was a day-long event, starting with tennis in the morning, lunch at John and Cori's house, golf in the afternoon, then a big party at Jill's house down in Gig Harbor.  The birthday boy had an AMAZING day!

Funny story, Anna refuses to go to anyone other than mom, dad or Adri.  She even refuses Nana & Papa!  But somehow, Chris Johnson won her over at the party and Anna spent quite a while walking around with him.  It was amazing!
