Full on tantrum…

Isabell is trying to be  a toddler, and grow out of the pleasant babyhood that we’ve enjoyed for the past 11.5 months.  Yesterday she got to spend some time at the neighbor’s house, and then we all played together outside for a few hours.  She is so cute when she wants to be a big [...]

Wicked!!

Sunday afternoon was a special treat.  Nashon and I bought tickets to WICKED! at the Paramount about six months ago, and the day finally arrived!  So on Sunday we got all dressed up, dropped the baby off at Auntie Carrie’s house, and off we went.  We had a nice grown up meal at the Cheesecake [...]

“Treat” just took on a new meaning!

Today Nashon, Isabell and I went to Costco to get baby wipes (and about $200 in other stuff we weren’t planning on getting).  While we were there, we decided to have a cheap lunch at their food court.  This means that Nashon and I both had soda with our lunch, generally a treat for us.  [...]

Lions and Tigers and Penguins, Oh My!

With my sister-in-law visiting, a trip to the zoo was in order. Have you ever corralled a 3 year old, a 15 month old and a 9 month old into going somewhere. Just getting everyone (and all supporting equipment, there was an ordeal. It wasn’t the longest visit but a nice side [...]

Petting Zoo

Over the weekend, Jamie’s sister was up from Colorado with her two kids, Taylor (3) and Jordan (15 Months) as well as Jamie’s grandmother. We all went to Chelan, and the petting zoo there. Isabell was leery of the pygmy goats but the Clydesdales she was fascinated with.
