Pumpkins...

The biggest hit at the grocery store the other day was the abundance of pumpkins! Oliver enjoyed moving the little pumpkins around, trying to pick up the big pumpkins all by himself, but he most enjoyed pulling off the stickers from all the pumpkins.

More September Pics... 14 months and more

Last week, Oliver and I went to the Seattle Children's museum with some other friends from PEPS.


Here are the kids driving the camper!


Oliver prefers driving the Metro bus.

Oliver was not too into sharing his snack.

Ohhhhh...

Oliver is officially 14 months old! What a big boy!

No, seriously....he looks like a 5 year old! I THINK it is just the camera angle!!

We love bath photos.

Snuggling with mom at bedtime.

More kitchen pics!

The tile backspash was installed this week. And the walls of the kitchen/family room were painted. We LOVE it!

Oliver feels very comfortable in the new kitchen :)

Telluide Wedding Weekend

Last weekend we went down to Telluride, CO for our good friend's Kirsten and Mike's wedding celebration. We left Oliver at home with Grammy and Grandpa. It was a tough first weekend away from our little man....but as you'll see we managed to have just a little bit of fun!!!

Beautiful Telluride.

Nancy and I went hiking one crisp clear morning on the slopes of Telluride.

Hmmm....Taking the Gondola back up after the hike. I think we were cheating...but we were at altitude!

Kelly, Naomi, Kirsten and Nancy at the Welcome Dinner.

We miss you, Oliver!

All of the DG girls there to celebrate with Miss Kirsten!

Nancy, Lindsay and an elk in the background.

Cute little town of Telluride.

Wedding day! Mike seeing Kirsten for the first time that day.

At the wedding ceremony.....the weather was NOT cooperating!

Getting a little soggy...

Smart Kelly bought an umbrella!

Molly's not so sure how this is going to work out??

Turns out the ceremony was moved inside. Luckily, there was a wonderful setting inside and everything turned out perfectly!

There happen to be a Husky game on right as the wedding was getting under way. Note all of the guys glued to ESPN on TV.

Nancy, Kelly and CB and DG friend Darci enjoying the bar.

Love the fruity drinks and pinky extension boys.

Nancy and Scotty!

The ladies...

As usual, Mike is tearing up the dance floor!

Dog Park and Waterfront Park

It had been a while, so we took an adventure to the dog park the other day...where did Bogey go Oliver? As you can see, Bogey doesn't have issues fetching a ball for Oliver. We also spent a number of nights on the Kirkland waterfront - here are a couple photos as well from fun in the sun and on the beach.

Kendall's Birthday

A few weeks ago we celebrated Kendall's 1st Birthday! What a fun time we had with all the kiddos - Oliver loved following the big kids around. Here is Kendall enjoying her cake!

After cake - Kendall and Oliver kicked back and relaxed in the big chair together.

Before going to the party - we went to the park with the Johnsons. Here is mom and O by the fountain and the ducks.

Oliver love to climb things...oh by the way - nice shoes!

Wow - it's hot out here running around and climbing stuff...can I have some of that?

Trip to the zoo...

A couple weeks ago - Grandma Joan, Oliver, and I went to the zoo! We had so much fun and the animals came out to play for sure. Below are a couple of great photos of the penguin viewing area.



Hey Grandma - that animal is really tall - is that a giraffe? My parents always read me books with a tall animal in it and they say a funny word giraffe and point to it. I usually respond with "Duh" - they think I say Da.


We stopped for some lunch, but it quickly turned into a giggle session.


The zoo is so much fun!
