HAPPY THANKSGIVING

We normally host Thanksgiving at our house but this year we switched it up a little. The Polverino's hosted it this time and we had an amazing grub session. Thanks Polverino's for hosting it!!!

DADDY DATE WITH SOPHIA

While mommy was out of town, daddy thought it would be nice to take Sophia on a daddy date. Doesn't every four year old go to the Seahawks game??? We've brainwashed Sophia to like the Hawks. Whenever she sees them on tv she always says go Hawks and go Coach Carroll.

Yippee, I'm so excited to go the Hawks game.

On the ferry with the other kids.

Pre-partying before the game.

Sophia's favorite part of the game is getting to eat cotton can

GRAND FOREST WALK TO PARK

We enjoy going on family walks especially through the Grand Forest to Battle Point Park. This trail is beautiful and well maintained. The trees that surround the trial are gorgeous and the best part....it dumps us into Sophia and Brody's favorite park.

This is the entrance into the Grand Forest trial.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

I know I mentioned that our family blog will be up to date but our dinosaur computer has been failing so it's hard to update the blog in a timely matter. Anyway, these pictures are from Halloween. Brody was an elephant and Sophia was a black cat. The kids trick-o-treated in Winslow and a cool neighborhood by our house.

SEAHAWKS SUNDAY

We call it Seahawks Sunday. Every home game, Grandma Mij and Grandpa Orv watch the kiddos for us. It's always a fun adventure for Brody and Sophia. This Sunday, we came back to Sophia, Grandma Mij and Grandpa Orv's face painted.

BBQING AT LYTLE BEACH

These pictures are taken in August.....I know, I'm a little behind blogging. This is one of our favorite beaches on Bainbridge Island. You can see the Bremerton Ferry pass which looks magnificent. Also, you see the most beautiful sunsets from this beach because it's facing South/West. We're having dinner here and forgot to bring Sophia's swimsuit. As you can see, she could careless.

LAKE CHELAN IN AUGUST

This is one of our favorite breakfast joints in Chelan. They also have a u pick it fruit. Below is Riley, Sophia and Ella picking some fruit.

This is at one of our favorite restaurants/winery.....Lake Chelan Winery. It's a great restaurant for kids because they have hoola hoops and trucks for the kids to play with.....and wine for the adult.

This is Lake Chelan Winery. It's such a pleasant restaurant.

We're back at the lake enjoying the sun and water.

We're having some fun on the Gaten's boat.

Okay, so I thought I would update our blog in a timely matter but we've been pretty swamped since summer and it looks like it's not slowing down. The pictures below are from our annual Lake Chelan trip that we take in August. It was exciting to see Sophia swim in the Lake. She has become an incredible swimmer.
