Lots and lots of pictures

We had a busy Labor Day weekend. I had to work, it was our anniversary and Keri's b-day, and we had family and friends over. I was overwhelmed with every one's kindness, my sister brought me clothes for the kids, my dad brought us up salmon, halibut, surgeon, paper towels, toilet paper (he is a fisherman that works at a paper mill), a new car seat for Abi (that he wouldn't let me pay him for), and we got cards and gifts for our anniversary. In general, everyone was so kind, thoughtful, and giving; makes me appreciate how great all our friends and family are. I wish I could hang with my sister every weekend-she is awesome. 

 

Evie not sure what to think of the craw fish

My little girl is looking more grown up all the time, this is her Jennifer Aniston smirk.

 

Ben in the background cracks me up and Evie is just as cute even when she cries.

Evie LOVED the trampoline.

More cousins, Gracie came to visit too.

 

Friends came over to play.

 

After the kids went to bed we had campfire fun.

 

Monday we went to the Ballard Locks and Gas Works Park on the Seattle waterfront for Keri's b-day. We have never been to Gas Works before and it was pretty cool.

 

Love this picture

Birthday girl!

We had too much fun........

Happy Anniversary

 It has been seven years since we got married and we are rich! We didn't win the lottery, we don't have a big fancy house, but we have everything we need-each other. We are lucky enough to have two beautiful, healthy kids, good jobs, and two places to call home. We have each other when life is hard, and it has been hard. And we have each other when the sun is shining, the kids are perfect, and the wind is blowing through our hair. Those are the moments I think why not have another kid? We love the same things, share the same dreams, and and marriage is easy-how it should be really. Here's to many more years of sitting under the stars sipping wine and dreaming. I love you!

We spent the afternoon at Ballard locks and it was a beautiful day.
