L'il Miss Sassy

Tony and I have already had the conversation that we're not fans of clothing with words across the backside, but here's the exception. :)  Ummm, and the little butt flap?  hee hee

Fun with a Chemistry Professor!

I got to make a new friend this summer when the lovely Michele married someone from our ward (congregation).  She's a chemistry professor in Pennsylvania and they met, fell in love and spent the summer in the PNW, but now they're moving back to Philly where she teaches.   She's so awesome that she volunteered to teach the kids some fun with chemistry.  They learned about acids and bases and what happens when cornstarch and water mix.  It becomes a non-Newtonian fluid (okay, that last part was just fun for me to learn, if you ask my kids what non-Newtonian fluids are, they'll just stare blankly. :)

So much fun!

Renton River Days 2014

 Renton River Days is always a blast.  So many fun things to do and prizes to win.  JD had a lot more fun this year as he got to play instruments, throw lawn darts and win a ball, jump in a bouncy house.  Fun times!

When Grandma Comes, We Play!

Thank you Healthport for sending Grandma to the Seattle area for work so that we could play!  The kids had a blast going on bike rides, playing, reading stories, snuggling in the morning, snuggling at night, you name it.  Grandmas are the best!

We took Evelyn swimming this time at Coulon, but she was already out of the water with me when I started taking a few pictures.

Everyone wanted to climb on Grandma's bed and read stories!

We went to a baptism together and then we went to Dash Point to spend time with good friends.

Thank you for the fun visit Grandma!  The kids miss you already!

Color Vibe 5K Fun Run--2014

We had so much doing a color run.  It was the first time for me and Max and Ryan.  Here is a break down of what the color run is:



The color stations are set along the course and you go through one color at at time.  The kids had so much fun getting sprayed with color (well, we did too) and Max and Ryan started rolling in the color as well. :)  At the end of the race there was a dance party and everyone threw their color packets into the air--fun, colorful chaos!

 I love the camaraderie and fun of races.  I even ran into two friends that I knew back in Tacoma.

Here's our support crew

It all washed out really well, but blowing my nose later that day gave me a blue surprise. ; )
