Filling up the Pool...

Good thing Tristan drank a lot of fluids this morning...

The Goofball Sisters!

Ice Cream Cone or... ???

We stopped in to McDonald's to grab some cones. Kids all got plain vanilla, but I prefer the dipped cones. As I am sure you can imagine, the obnoxious comments that followed when the server handed us this delightful item. I think this should be the next poster child of the ice cream cone world...

Kids vs. Dogs...

Kids - 1... Dogs - Zip. Ethne has successfully turned Penny Lane into a princess puppy. What better to play dress up with other than the dolls... the DOGS! Penny actually didn't mind the dress... in fact, she acted like she didn't even have it on. Nigel on the other hand, couldn't quite figure out what to make of it.

Nigel didn't really want to even go near Penny.
Utter confusion.

Honky Erik on the Mound!!

Watch out! It's the trusty Ole' Lumberjack making his way to the mound. A man of many trades, as well as tattoos, can be seen here trying his luck at pitching for his softball team. Can he do it? All together now... "YES HE CAN!"

Special mention to the fact that he didn't
have time to flip me the bird! HA!!

Paper Hats... YAY!

Ohh my goodness... So EXCITING! Hold on to your hats, as today we made Paper Hats! Little bit of paper, little bit of tape, little bit of markers and a little bit of smiles.

Sounders Game

Saturday, I was able to attend the Seattle Sounders game with my good friend Kelly. Her husband Alex gave up his ticket so I could go. Alex and Brian had a great day playing in the pool with the kids, watching the game on TV, and eating everything in site.

Kelly & I got to leave early and go tailgating with a bunch of her friends. It was the perfect day for it too. The sun was out, no clouds in the sky and a slight breeze. We started tailgating around 11am and headed into the game at 1pm.

Sounders games ROCK! Everyone is cheering, singing songs and clapping to the beat. Amazing sense of camaraderie. I was there not even 2 minutes and everyone was hi-fiving and hugging me. My kind of people! The Sounders won 2-1 and I am hooked. We have to get a season pass next year!

We Won!!

Way to go Sounders!
