Liam is three!!

Not sure where this year went so quickly but we recently had a boy turn three. Liam was so excited to celebrate his birthday and be a "big boy". We had a small family party and then celebrated with the rest of the Knowles family in Sun River. It was completely perfect for him - a cake with cars on it and truck gifts....he was in heaven.
He has come so far in this past year, I couldn't be more proud of him.


  •  His speech has improved significantly and continues to surprise us with his vocabulary. 
  • He continues to be the happiest when he is outside and can truly spend all day outside if you let him. He loves riding his scooter, his bike, and driving his remote control car around the neighborhood. 
  • He is obsessed with cars and trucks. We continue to try opening him to new things, to no avail. It is trucks and cars, all the time, anywhere. 
  • He loves his big sister and idolizes her. Luckily Callie is extremely loving and kind with him and tolerates her little "shadow". His other favorite is mama kitty. She continually tries to sneak into his room to sleep with him and she tolerates him when he lays on top of her. 
  • Starting in September he will be starting preschool and he couldn't be more excited to start and to learn new things. 
  • He has an extremely goofy side and surprises us constantly with what he says, does, sings, etc. 
  • He constantly surprises us. He is a quiet watcher with a very good memory and shows us in his own subtle way that he is learning a lot about the world around him.

He had to have cars on his cake...we did our best :)

Rolling and Reading

Callie rolls ALL over the place!!! One of her favorite places to end up is her bookshelf. Look what I found! As a side note, it looks like one of our cats is finally accepting that Callie is part of the family (or atleast, she isn't going anywhere) and has become very tolerant of her. She lets Callie "pet" her and will even walk up to Callie (which, if you know this cat, is VERY unusual - there are some people who still have never seen her). The other day when I was getting Callie from her nap this was outside her door. Apparently the cat loves Callie enough to bring her toys.

Mothers Day Weekend

We had amazing weather for Mother's Day weekend and tried to enjoy every minute of the summer. On Sunday, Callie and I ran the color run. A 5k through Seattle which involved a lot of dust and color. It was a lot of fun and  I was super proud of her and how she pushed herself. Before the race. Shirts are still white and hair is still normal color. We ran with one of Callie's good friends and her mom.  Bubbles! That was a highlight for Callie, she loved running through the bubbles.  Done! Color and dust everywhere! We spent Saturday with Katy and Dennis and explored Renton and a local beach and park. Callie and Katy The gang! Saturday was so beautiful that we actually went home and the kids ran in the sprinklers and played in the bathing suits all day.

Complete and Total Exhaustion

So, Callie has come down with a case of croup (good ol'daycare) and we had a VERY rough night on Sunday. She was up every 20 mins - hour coughing. Luckily Preston was home and we took turns with her - eventually I ended up sleeping with her in the chair (although she still woke up coughing every hour) because I didn't have to work on Monday. Needless to say, we were not a very exciting family Monday night. We were all in bed by 8 and Callie continued to get up a bit but not nearly as much as the night before. The last time I went in to see her was about 11 - the next thing I knew it was time for me to get up for work. When Preston got up, I made the comment "she slept better than on Sunday" and he just looked at me and laughed. Apparently, she got up a bunch in the middle in the night and I was just too exhausted to realize it. He said I was so out of it that one time I told him it was the rain, not Callie crying.....I'm going to choose my version of the story and...
