Our sunny day

It may be fall now but today was gorgeous. We took a short hike on the loop at West Hylebos State Park just on the other side of I-5 in Federal Way. It was perfect weather and I loved seeing the sunlight filtered down through the leaves.

Khiana's 4th Birthday

And these photos are from a few days before when we visited Linda's cousin Diana's house.

Weekend Festivities

There was a fun festival over the weekend here called Pacific Days. The girls had a blast on the big inflatable slide, building a butterfly house at the Home Depot booth, and playing mini games for points to earn prizes.
Building a butterfly house at the Home Depot tent. They have a kids workshop the first Saturday of the month that would be fun to go to. Khiana was great at hammering.
They had little games for kids that they earned points for, and could spend them on prizes. The girls bought 2 big bottles of bubbles and a paint by number.
Watching the parade which consisted mostly of large trucks honking their horns. :)

Our water line by the road broke sometime while we were gone and was running over into the street all day. We were able to reach someone from the City of Pacific who determined that it was not the City's responsibility, but he was nice enough to provide the parts and fix it for us anyway. He probably saw Corban's smaller than necessary wrench and took pity on us. :)

Mother's Day photos

Had a great time in Wenatchee. Loved seeing you all. Can't believe how our girls are growing! Below this first photo is one of Khiana and Elle on this same porch 2.5 years ago.

My favorite subjects

You would never guess from their smiles all the arm twisting and bribery that went into this photo shoot. :)

Katelyn Turns 2!

A big happy birthday to my littlest little one. Katelyn turns 2 next Wednesday, but we had her party tonight. Enchiladas, a Diego cake, and presents. Thanks for helping us celebrate!
