Trip to AZ
We took Ellis on a plane for the first time and she was a dream! We were lucky to get an entire row so she could sit in her carseat and sleep for the entire 3 hour flight. When we arrived, the temp was around 113 degrees and it stayed there the whole trip. I never saw it dip below 95, even at 6:45am!
Needless to say, we spent most of our days inside. Either in our casita, the mall, or a...
Celebrating 31
My birthday celebration came early this year. We got a babysitter on Thursday night for the first time and left Ellis behind for some adult fun. I put on heels and curled my hair - all on a week night!
We went to the Ridge Wine Bar and the Honeymoon. The Ridge had a band that played a Bob Dylan album. I was so happy that so many friends could come out…especially the moms!

Festival at the River
Each August, my parents attend this music festival which brings pretty big music acts for free. This year, Ellis and I also attended. Friday was the hippie music day, as described by my Dad. I put Ellis in a hippie skirt to enjoy the event.
She is no stranger to live music but I was amazed at how well she did for this event. She fell asleep on her side (could she be any cuter?) and stayed...
Ellis @ 14 weeks - Burlington Childrens Museum
Today (Ellis’ 14th week birthday) I ended up in Skagit County. I was supposed to meet a friend who had to cancel but since Ellis and I were up and ready to go, we took the drive South anyways. I surprised my nieces but picking them up and taking them to the Childrens Museum in Burlington. This place is great! We had fun playing store, fishing, operating a crane, putting on a play and...
I now prounounce you...Krevin!
It is official, my BFF is now a Mrs. The Krevin wedding was set on perfection from start to finish. The weather was beautiful and warm, their ceremony was so special, the surprise rap was hilarious and the amount of happiness oozing from the bride and groom was ridiculous.
I was a horrible documenter the day of the wedding but did manage to get a few shots with the girl, the girls, and the...
Mamas Gone Wild!!
Beckster came up with a game that involved counting steps and taking photos along the way all the way back to our cottage. Of course, I thought it was super cool. Let’s just say that we haven’t been able to spend time together in a LONG time without being pregnant or having our babies with us. Things just got a little weird…
Weekend at Roche Harbor
This past weekend was the highlight of my summer - the Krevin wedding! Everything about the weekend and the wedding was just perfect - starting with the welcome BBQ pictured here. We shared a beach cottage with the Koehlers and my parents and had nothing but fun, fun, fun from start to finish.
The weather was perfect and warm as soon as we hit San Juan Island. After lunch at Friday Harbor...
WatchEllis @ 13 weeks
Today marks the 13th week that Ellis has been with our family and tomorrow marks her 3 month birthday. Her newest trick can be seen in the video. Stick with it, she finally gets going at 39 seconds. You can see how much Ellis’ bubbles cracks me up. Every single time.
Besides this, Ellis has had a bit of a developmental lull this week. She hasn’t rolled over...
