Mini Vacation

Last Saturday we went to visit the Frantz family in Oregon.

It was nice visiting with friends and it really felt like we

were far away from home, not just two hours away.

Saturday night we saw Allthe Apparatus which was great!!!

I would go all the time if we lived closer.

If you do live close, check them out in downtown Portland

in front of the Nordstroms on Saturday nights.

We were there :) with millie of course

We were lucky enough to stay with the Lancasters.

They are so awesome and have two daughters that

Elizabeth loves.

Millie almost ready for church

Sarah and Jes (Sarah's sister/super woman)

seriously Jes can do it all. I am amazed by her SKILLS

Millie can totally be hers right?

Delicious Homemade cupcakes by Jess

Sunday we went to Vancouver to have a bbq with

the Boyds and the Stimmels. It was great and time flew.

I forgot to take good pics because I am lame. Just imagine good food

with good company and that is what it was like.

It is so nice having friends from Hawaii close to us.

Now if only everyone can move this way HA

Olympia Carnival

Last friday we went to the Carnival. It was fun.

Elizabeth had a hotdog and examined every bite

After we got the tickets E chose the swings.

Once she was on, her face showed that she

was rethinking her decision.

Wondering if it was going to keep

getting higher

Furrowing her brow to show she was not happy

with her parents for tricking her

Jesse regretting his decision in being the parent

who went along for the ride.

Then she was excited for the boats. Until they moved HA

She tried to escape but I walked along the side and

cheered her on. So she was nervous but ok.

When it was nearly over she expressed happiness

Then she showed her muscles and won a

PRINCESS HAMMER!!!

We are pretty sure Elizabeth is the biggest wuss

when it comes to just about everything.

We love our little wimp though!!!

Millie has no idea we went, so if you see her

please don't mention it ;)

Children's Museum

The other day the fam bam and I went to the Children's Museum.

It was fun for Elizabeth.

Naturally she was freaked out from the step that

had fish under a plastic layer

The toddler section was rather boring

Jesse even found something fun to do

There was boat steering

Then she went to the vet to release the dogs

Millie was so uninterested

She pushed the boy behind the cash register because

she wanted to buy her own food.

Washed some dishes

Someone call a medic

After the museum we walked around the lake

It was a warm sunny day!!!

And look, Millie is old enough to sit on the bottom now!

Sick day

This past week the girls were sick so the three of us

stayed home from church on Sunday and laid around

Elizabeth kept asking why she can't swim on

Sundays when the other people can

the infamous stare

LOOK AT THOSE BROWS

Giving kisses. . This how the baby got sick in the first place

Then she reminded me of when J held

her as a baby.

The city of LOVE

Last week our friends the Nortons were here!!!

We played in Seattle and went to Pikes.

We stood a long time by the pig chatting and

taking pictures

Jake was there!!!

Elizabeth got her balloon stepped on then

got another one and was happy

She learned tips on how to take the perfect picture

Then She FELL IN LOVE

they listened to music together

he bought her a sword

spoke of the important things in life

like peeing on the potty

he made her a knight

She told him girls cannot be knights

then went to get a bite to eat

We had so much fun with friends. Anyone coming to our

part of the world we would love to play!
