Fall Update

We are supposed to see snow tomorrow and I have yet to report on our fall activities!

First of all, Alice turned 1 on the 8th. She is a blast. Uh oh, milk, hot, mama, dada, and clean up are some of her words that we are starting to understand. Her smile has five teeth and makes everyone else smile too. She is walking all over and is laughing a lot at Owen and Clara. And...she loves ice cream!












Sue Sue and Papa arrived the weekend after Alice's birthday. We celebrated with them, found a pumpkin patch and soaked up the nice fall weather.


Reading Halloween books


Making applesauce












Owen's soccer game






Clara got to go on a special trip back to Longview with Sue Sue and Papa. They left Monday morning, and she was thrilled about going. The next weekend, Owen, Alice and I flew over to pick her up. We also got to celebrate auntie Lisa's birthday, see all my sibs, visit Nona and Papa and go to a Pilots game.



These two were so happy to see eachother at the airport. Owen spotted Clara waiting for us with SueSue. He asked me to hold his bag and took off running to Clara. They hugged and laughed and he picked her up...it was priceless.



We landed in the morning and made our way to a pumpkin patch in with Papa before dinner.


My sweet friend Jill and her darling girls came out to meet us at the patch-it was great to see them!





Fun at the park with Maria and Eric





Alice showing off for Great Nona



Happy Birthday Auntie Lis!



Checking for chicken eggs and playing with Chaco at Paul and Steph's house





Park tome with Auntie Steph, Ria and Uncle Eric




GO Pilots!






O and C were the Pilots for a Day!



I was so happy to be back for a Pilot game under the lights. The pilots even beat GU in overtime!




These little superstars were great travelers so flying on my own with all 3 was as good as it could have been. Thank goodness for short flights though!

Friday Night Bike Ride

Our summer weather is starting to fade away, so we took advantage of the warm evening on Friday. After a quick dinner, we loaded up the bikes and went for a ride by the river.

Clara's first haircut

August 19, 2013
He first "real" haircut I should say-the first was a trim in the bathroom by me.

I made us both appointments at my place, Twigs, and we both enjoyed our washes and trims.

Uncle Dom Weekend '13

I'm behind on blogging!!!

On labor day weekend Dom came to visit us and go the the first Griz game of the year with Brett. We all had lots of fun with him-and really missed auntie Lis!


Bike ride within an hour of landing in mso


Happy girl ready for our game day hike


The kids were troopers hiking up Mt. Sentinel and down the M above the stadium-4 miles for those little legs is a lot! Good thing we had three adults with shoulders!








After a late night ( for the boys) and early mass, we took the kids swimming. Again, love the 3 v. 3 coverage!


That night we got a babysitter so we could all enjoy a dinner out with these best buds.


Before Dom headed back to pdx, we walked down by the creek. Thank you for a great visit Dom!
