A Bit of Random Fun

This September, we stayed very busy. We lucked out with some surprisingly good weather and took full advantage of it. Liam has Fridays off of school, so we try to plan a super fun adventure on Fridays.

We headed to the water park on a super hot Friday (before it closed for the fall) with Liam's best buddy Jack. They had the place to themselves and had so much fun.

These boys truly have a blast together!

We headed to the Puyallup fair for opening weekend. We made the best of a beautiful day!

They both loved the fishing

Archery

Liam and I spent a Friday visiting some real pirate ships:

Burien Fire Safety Day. Always a great time:

Putting out a fire with the fire hoses

On a side note, Sarah, Amy and I completed our first Spartan Beast race together. 13 miles of running with 30+ obstacles. It was a challenge that I will gladly do again.

On Fridays Liam and I head to the pool on the rainy days. We meet his buddy Jack and they swim for hours.

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.

7 Months

This month seemed to have flown by just as quickly as all the others. It's crazy to think she has been part of our family for seven months already. We have had our first real battle (and are still battling) with a never ending cold. She has been a trooper though - although I wish that we could do more to help her. Here's what is new (things have moved very quickly this month): She is up on all fours. She seems to be taking after her cousin Clara, where she can crawl backwards but not yet forwards - which can be very frustrating as the toy she is trying to get to seems to just keep getting farther and farther away. After she learned to get up on all fours, she very quickly learned to go from all fours to sitting. We have yet to find any real foods that she will turn down, although green beans appears to be her favorite so far. When feeding her green beans she will lean forward VERY far and open her mouth as wide as can be just to get the next bite. We can't seem to get

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.
