Tent!!!!

We went looking for a trampoline... didn't find one... but she got excited about a tent... Which was a great idea. She's now testing her tent out in various parts of the yard, and offering me hugs for getting her a tent. :) time for a camp-out I guess.

My little veggie

I love that my daughter gets excited when she sees fresh veggies. I love even more that she insisted on holding the bell peppers right up until we had to pay.

U is for uncomfortable

I don't know how Chai can sleep with her head at such odd angles.

Molly's got a bob

Since she won't let me put her hair up I decided to ask the lady to cut it nice and short in the back. Her hair traps in heat so I wanted to make sure her neck would stay nice and cool. Also, I don't know what she does in her car seat, but her hair would always look like a rats nest even after the shortest of drives. Hopefully this new cut will alleviate that problem. It's shorter in back and a bit longer in front. I also had them cut her bangs as they always grow out so freakin' fast.

Make yourself at home.

Don't mind me Chai. Just go ahead and make yourself at home. I'm merely furniture.

Strike a pose!

Video from July 2011 Seattle+Tracey visit.

Watching the doggies

It sounds like we have an illegal dog fighting ring in our backyard.

Look familiar?

Apparently the ride from Grandma's is just long enough to pass out.

Z is for Zonked

On the way to Grandma's for a sleepover and zonked out hard in the car. There is no way that can possibly be comfortable!

My little helper

Happy Birthday Aunt Tracey!

Aunt Tracey teaching Molly some dance moves on our recent visit to Seattle:

Sadie thinks she's human

Entitled freakin' princess!

Boys.

Molly and Robert were hugging each other and it was super cute. Then Molly says, "I love you" to Robert and Robert goes running. It was hilarious because Molly simply thought it was time to play chase.

Oh honey, you need to play a little harder to get.

Comfy cozy

Molly made herself all comfy cozy. I personally preferred it when I didn't have her feet in my face.

Chai's a deck licker!

I'm thinking there's gotta be some food droppings wedged down good between these two boards. Chai is obsessed!

Don't mind me...

Just make yourself at home m'dear.

More hammock time...

This time with Granny. Once the sun set this escalated to cuddling under blankets.

Bye bye bouncy house...

Robert and Molly were a bit bummed to see the bouncy house go.

Hammock time

Enjoying some hammock time with Grandma and Papa J. This was as close as I could get to a smile for the camera.

WTF?!?

Molly figured out how to collapse the umbrella pole and was just laying on the table spinning it around.

Jump jump jump!

Bouncy House

Molly is in heaven!

Horsie ride

"Mommy, take my picture."

Then she flings her head back. So dramatic.

PONY!!!

Molly likes her pony!

Honey-do

Clearly a job for N.

Hey, I took everything out of the box!

Hammock time

Enjoying the cool breeze that always seems to be going through our backyard.

Best part of crashing a birthday party...

CUPCAKE!!!!

Quiet time

Having some quiet time with Aunt Tracey before heading to a birthday party.

"Don't tickle me daddy...

... just cuddles."

Chill time

Twirling in the fountain

At Cal Anderson Park (very close to Aunt Tracey) and cooling off in the Children's Wading Pool.

Starting to wind down...

After some dancing to the drummers in the park and other shenanigans we are winding down for the night at Oddfellows.

Storytime with Aunt Tracey

We flew up to Seattle this morning to visit Aunt Tracey. So far we've had a yummy lunch at Calamity Jane's (yum), picked up some growlers at Georgetown Brewing Co., and had a little down time at the hotel. Now we're at the Elliott Bay Book Co. for some story time.
