S'mores

We have all enjoyed the fire pit we gave Matty for Father's Day. Nothing says summer like a s'more on a summer night! Avery has enjoyed roasting marshmallows, but really prefers to eat the chocolate and the marshmallows "raw"!

 

 

 

 

Father's Day!

For Father's Day we went bowling. It was Avery's first time and she loved doing "bowling ball" as she called it. I thought that we would have our highest scores ever since we were bowling with bumpers but that was not the case...the scores are too embarrassing to mention! We had dinner at Diamond Knot Pizza and Brewery in Mulkilteo and came home to enjoy Matt's Father's Day present....a fire pit for the backyard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

June Happenings

Hunter Joel is now 4 1/2 months old. He is a very happy baby and is full of smiles these days. He is his daddy's "Mini Me" as you can see! His sister is definitely one of his most favorite people and usually brings the biggest smile to his face!

 

 

 

 

Last weekend, Avery had her first dance recital. She has been taking a creative dance class all year with her friend Olivia. Her big performance was a choreographed number to "Who Let the Dogs Out?". All the girls knew the choreography but performed all different parts of the dance at the same time. It was adorable and entertaining! Avery loved being on stage and is already asking when she gets to do a dance performance again!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Turning 4 and Last Day of Preschool

We celebrated Avery's 4th birthday on May 12. We had a fabulous ice cream sundae party with Avery's friends at a park. We then celebrated the next night with family and everyone LOVED Nonnie's mud pie for dessert. It was a great birthday and we can't believe that our little girl is 4!

 

 

At the end of the month, Avery had her last day of preschool and her closing performance. Avery has had a wonderful year at preschool and we are so thankful for her teachers and school.

 

 

 

 

 

I've seen this face before....

7 Weeks Old

Hunter is now 7 weeks old and growing like a weed! He is a pretty smiley guy but I never seem to have my camera with me to capture the really big ones. We get the biggest smiles when he is naked and getting changed! He is spending more and more time awake and most of that time is happy. Night times are fluctuating between waking up once or twice in the night to eat. I love my sleep, so I am so thankful for the nights that he only wakes up once!

 

 

 

 

 

One Month Old!

Hunter is now one month old! He weighs a whopping 11 pounds 6 ounces (90%), so apparently all the spitting up he is doing is not affecting his weight gain. He is a solid little guy and overall pretty easy, although I am wishing he was a little easier at night. I'm hoping that any day now he will start sleeping longer stretches at night so I can start feeling a little more like myself again. We are starting to get some occasional smiles and I even was able to capture one in the last picture!
