The weekend

Kim's baby Shower

This last weekend I went to Vancouver for my sister-in-law's shower and to hang out with the fam. It was a short visit but a lot of fun. Kim and I are about 2 weeks apart and both having boys, so once again the cousins get to grow up together I can't wait. My mom put on this great day with belgian waffles and fruit and a delicious quiche. The decorations were darling. Good job mom.

Thanks mom for the little outfits for our boys...

J.T. Concert

On Saturday I headed back home for a girls night out. Sarah,Rachel and I went to the Justin Timberlake concert at the Tacoma Dome. It started out with Good Charlotte and than JT he is so amazing in person and you gotta love his dancin moves and voice. We had so much fun. It was a great night. Thanks girls....

Labor Day weekend

DMB here we come....

Our tradition for 4 years now(well for me, Chad has been going 8 years) has been to go to the DMB(Dave Matthews Band) concert at the Gorge. So once again we headed for a weekend of relaxation and fun. We had bought tickets for Chad's brother and his wife for their wedding to go with us for Sat concert. Laryssa is a hige DMB fan and well Kyle has never been to a concert ever so why not have DMB be his first experience. Anyway Chad and I headed there on fri, when we got there because of bad traffic and met up for dinner with our friends the Lathrops, dinner was good and so off we all headed to the Gorge. We had just enough time to find a camping spot and head to the concert. Luckily we had floor seats so it was great. The show was fantastic, but then again Dave never dissapoints us. The next morning we got woken up by the thousands of people and made breakfast. Later that afternoon Kyle and Laryssa came. We all hung out in the hott sun and finally it was time for the show to begin. Once again it was fantastic. I think to get the whole experience its best to spend two nights there. We met up with a friend from Chad's work and enjoyed the concert. The next morning we woke up and headed home. The weekend was just what we needed. Until next year. I have to admit we are DMB fans true and true... PS. Thanks Grandma for watching Maddie...

GO,GO,GO

Those are Madelyn's words for Monday morning. Grandma and Laryssa did the Woodinville marathon which was 13 miles. As they both at different times passed by madelyn yelled out "go,go,go" she was excited to see them run. After a long hott run they finished and did great. We then headed for Maltby Cafe. Which by the way if you haven't been there you need to. They have the best breakfast mmmm... Later on we went back to grandma's and relaxed for the remainder of the night. It was a fun weekend just what we needed.

Due date moved...

Yesterday I went to my Dr. Appt and everything looks great, Trey continues to grow and stay healthy. However my due date has changed, she asked if I would want to be induced since she missed the last delivery and is going to be out of town for this one as well. How she phrased it was "how do you feel about a tax deduction?" It was funny. Of course I wouldn't mind having it a week early. So the due date is set now for the 30th of Dec. Yipeee!!!!

Were having a BOY!!!!

Head and Spine

Yesterday we went to our ultra sound at Evergreen hospital. After a long wait we finally saw our little Trey moving around. At first when the tech said that it was a boy chad didn't believe her. He said "are you sure" well there was no mistake for obvious reasons. Everything looks great and healthy which is always good to hear. She left the room and Chad picked me up and shouted "were having a boy,it's a boy!" Of course he was just a little excited. I am still in shock because I thought for sure we were having another girl but I guess both the Dr. and I were wrong. We are looking forward to having one of each and since Madelyn looks like her daddy Trey will look like me with the blonde hair right!!! Ok probably not i'm sure he will have red hair also. How fun! Now we get to pick out boy clothing and accessories aghhhhh!!!! Here are some pics from the ultra sound. Sorry they are not the best since we don't have a scanner, they are from our camera... Enjoy!!!

Cousin Lynsey's wedding

This last saturday we drove with Kyle and Laryssa to Spokanne for cousin Lynsey's wedding. After a long 4.5 drive we made it. The ceremony was beautiful and everything looked pefect. Of course after running out of fruit snacks and trying to keep the little one occupied was impossible. The reception was a lot of fun madelyn was a little dancing machine out on the floor. Between sashaing across the stage and dancing with all the kids she had a great time. After visiting with family and dancing a little it was time to go. The day was great!!

Grandma's B-day @ Greenlake

On August 11th we celebrated Grandma's b-day, for the last two years all she has wanted for her birthday is to take her family to Greenlake Park and ride the paddle boats across the lake. We had a great time together, and Madelyn absolutely loved it. The weather was perfect not too hott and not too cold. After our fun adventure we went to a friends wedding and ate at our favorite mexican place "Gorditos." It was a great day....

Family Reunion to Indianola

This last weekend we went to a Family Reunion for my Mom's side to Indianola. For those who have never heard of it, its off of the Puget sound. We had an amazing weekend spending time with family who we don't get to see very often. We all arrived late fri evening and pretty much went to bed. Saturday morning we got up and walked down to the dock and saw tons of people working on their sand castles. In Indianola once a year they have "Indianola Days" which is a weekend full of activities from sand castle contests, 2 mile run, races for kids,food, and shopping. Madelyn loved playing in the sand almost too much that she kept falling into the puddles. Later on Uncle Bill took us out on his boat. We drove by Manzanita Bay which was beautiful. It was a great day. That night we had a big Salmon dinner, but of course I don't care for it so my brother-in-law and I had chicken. We had a great time hanging out and catching up. Sunday we headed back to Seattle but stopped after the Ferry ride at Ivar's which was really good. We said goodbye to our cousins and headed home. What a great weekend we had.... See you all in 2009
