Already...

OK so I am not even going to pretend that everyday with my kids is peaches and cream. Overnight little Emmit has turned into oh how do I put it.

A TWO YEAR OLD TERROR.

Oh please Emmit may you get out of this phase.

OK maybe you have some new teeth coming, I still sent you to bed tonight with a FULL does of Motrin.

Love you Emmit.

Sweet Cheeks

Grace has this little habit when she goes to the bathroom she takes everything off on the bottom. Then has a little trouble putting things on right. Take a closer look if you need to.

Oh Grace how you make me smile.

We did it!

We swam, we biked and we ran just a bit faster then we did last year in the Danskin Tri today.

Skagit County Fair

Last night we went to the fair and WOW was I impressed. It was clean, small, good music and just a good time.

Good job Skagit County. Big Bubba the Cow.

Grace checking out the cow girls doing the barrel racing. Yes, Grace is wearing her halloween costume.

Yup your tall enough to go on the rides Grace.

Yee Hahh

Emmit's favorite ride on dad's head.

Josh even got to go on rides.

The cute girl in the pink would be Grace's 2nd cousin Olivia who is visiting from Hawaii. Her mom is my cousin.

Emmit don't worry son, I will not let that toothless Carnie get any closer to you.

Grace was pretty much in heaven.

What is a fair without the food.

We love our Spoonshine. Local A- town band.

Yeah we ran into the Moore's & Dellutri's at the fair. This is Eli and both kids think he and his brother Emmett are the coolest kids ever.

Emmett and Emmit dancing a jig.

Emmett & Mason showing us their moves.

Yes that is Josh inside the wine garden with Carl. Good parenting here we know.

Gosh I love these boys and that they ham it up for the camera.

Once again Grace is the center of attention.

Big Boy Bed

Look who got a big boy bed.

You are a little monster Emmit.

Anacortes Arts Festival

Last weekend was the Anacortes Arts Festival. We took full advantage of all the downtown festivities. We had breakfast with friends ( Kody & Kale) ran into our favorite Anacortes family The Swapps and played in the sand box, got faces painted you name it we did it.
Day two of the festival we had two new babysitters Sally & Allison ( Mt. Erie Elementary School's finest) babysit for us while the parents had a little fun!

All in all it was a good time.

Time To Beat 1:52:46

Swim 20:02 D- Train you can do it.
Bike 1:01:11- Inny your like 20lbs lighter you can stay under an hour.
Run 27:43 not going to lie this is a pretty good time for me, but do not worries ladies I plan on beating it. If I am not puking at the finish line then I did not push hard enough.

Get ready Team Mai Tai Mama's is back and we are going to crush the Danskin Tri this Sunday.

It's Only wednesday

So I have been on vacation since Sunday and it has been GREAT. Already we have done a lot.
Josh has started to brew some beer ( more on that later) but it should be ready by the end of August.
The kids got new flip flops, made a trip to Grandma Laurie's over the hills and just about 1 mile from the sun I am sure. While we were in Richland we hit up a few of the parks and found ourselves going back to the park with the kiddo wading pool. Nice job Richland Parks & Rec Department, super impressed with the wading pool and the park swings. Took my mother in law and sis in law to a few wineries in Benton City. Ok it was more like they took me, either way it was a good time and I walked away with a case of wine:)
What else have I done, oh yeah took the kids to get ice cream, because when it is still in the 90's at night time we all needed ice cream.

Also I am proud to say that I have grown my first tomato and today Grace and I put on our garden gloves and tour that tomato off the vine.

The best part of this vacation has really been spending the time with the kids and Josh and have I mentioned it's only WEDNESDAY!
