Seattle Reunion

 We went to Seattle, Washington for a sibling reunion of my husband's family. We were there for 5 days and did so many fun things. This is one of them. We went to the Seattle Science Center. Aubrey loved the toddler play place, of all things.

 This is the largest Guitar and you could walk inside of it. Here is aubrey enjoying the strings.

 This is a bike you can ride that is attached to the blue ring. It is all metal and it is really heavy. It was really a  neat experience.

 Here is my brother in law eric doing the same thing.

 Here is my other brother in law Adam doing the bike as well.

 They had a section with all kinds of bugs and things. Aubrey seemed to love looking at all the bugs. They even had a robot of a praying mantis. She would always laugh at it and she thought it was so fun.

 I guess there is always time for a nap when you are little and so much going on.

 This a little show that we all went and saw at the science center. It was all about fire. Aubrey seemed to really love it.

 Friday we went to a beach by one of the islands. It was really fun. We hiked down to the beach and played with the water. Aubrey even got to play with sticks and sand that was so much fun for her.  We also went to Cascade park and played in the river and the playground and roast hot dogs. We also went and saw fireworks and played with our cousins a lot. We had so much fun with our family. We already miss them and can't wait to see everyone again in a year and a half.

Aubrey's first haircut June 30,2012

Here is the before picture.. It was really hard for her to look at daddy when there was so much to look at.
 Yes I know what you are thinking... How is it taken 2 whole years without a haircut? Well, first of all there wasn't too much to cut and then I just got really busy with colby and now here are the adorable pictures. 

 We cut her hair at a place called Cool Cuts 4 kids. It is a really nice place It has play areas for the kids while they wait and they can sit in a car to get their hair cut and then the best part that aubrey enjoyed was that they could watch a movie or a show that they liked while they got their hair cut. She got to watch Backyardigans. Well, It was hard at first to get her to sit in the seat by herself so she got a sucker and then the show did the job. She sat so still and was so good. I was so proud, no tears at all. It was a great experience for her and neal and I.

Here are the after pictures. She's the cutest ever with the little bow in her hair. Too bad it only lasted about 15 minutes that way but her hair is not in her eyes anymore. She got gel in her hair and she got glitter in her hair. She had a great time.

Good times in the Tub

 This is me trying to get a smile out of colby while waiting for sister to get done in the bath tub. There is one smile.

 Umm.. I think that is it and there we are not even looking at the camera. I guess I need to try a bit harder.

 Most of the time I don't like to take pictures of them when they are in the bath tub but isn't she so cute!!

Aubrey turned 2

 We are ready to party!! I even have my sunglasses on.

 We had a sprinkler that you see that looks like a palm tree and then there were sprinklers going too. Long story short, aubrey had a blast at her party!!

 She got a lot of dress up stuff from her cousins and she loved all of it.

 Here is her cake and with the candles lit. She wanted strawberry and I picked to put some rainbow chip frosting on top.

Aubrey had a lot of fun and is such a blessing in our lives. I don't know what we would be doing without her. I have learned so much from her and have changed for the better. I love you aubrey and glad that you came to our family!!!

 These are all pictures of Colby's blessing. These are some of the cutest ones that were taken. I love his little tie. The suit that he is wearing is actually the outfit that his grandma got for him but he didn't wear but he sure got to wear it the next week. That was on May 13,2012.

 Here is our adorable but crazy daughter aubrey, she loves the water and here she is sporting her new swimsuit that her grandma bought her at the dollar store. Imagine that a dollar store would sell swim suits. She loves her new little floaties.

 Here we are it is Memorial Day and Neal had the day off so we decided to go hiking and swimming this day. The first pic is of everyone after we got home. Obviously we forgot to wear sunscreen but no one ever complained. We had so much fun together. Yes, while on the trail colby was thirsty and neal gave him some water out of the camelback but he got mad when he would drink because it would come too fast. He is so cute though.

I have not posted in a while since having my son.  I am sure that you can understand that I have been busy with two little ones now at home and just finishing work last week. Here are some pictures that have been since my last post in April.  I don't know what to say. Colby is growing so fast. This last picture is of my present for being able to stay home with the two little ones. It turned out that neal and I both working was not working to our advantage and I was not enjoying being away from the two kids. I love the opportunity to do housework now.
