6.17.15: Adventures in Seattle

It has been a long time since we all made it to Seattle, too long! Looking to escape the heat, we set out for our first family vacation in quite a while. We had so much fun visiting friends, family and taking the girls to some of our favorite spots from our childhood in Seattle. The Kochmans graciously agreed to our first stop at Bamboo Garden where Brant and I especially enjoyed a meal reminiscent of our dating years.

The famous gum wall - One of our favorite wedding pictures was in front of this wall. I have to admit the Stella, Daphne and Fiona were a little creeped out by the gum everywhere.

Cousins! Daphne, Cooper, Stella, Nicholas, Fiona

We even went on a ferry ride with the Kochmans. This was the girls first time on a boat.

Daphne, Stella and Fiona especially enjoyed jumping with the wind while on the boat.

Uncle Rob was in charge of reading.

We went for a hike.

We even found time to go berry picking and ended up with tons of strawberries and raspberries - of course many were consumed during the accumulation.

We (finally) got to meet Zach and spend time with Debbie, Joey and Sammy. Still can't believe Sammy, Daphne, Fiona, and Stella were due within days of each other.

Such an amazing trip to Seattle - can't wait to visit again!

6.11.15: SIX

The most fantastic children in the world! It has been an amazing six years and we look forward to watching these little ladies grow up. We love you girls - more than you can ever imagine.

6.7.15: Birthday Party

This year the girls had their birthday party at a gymnastics studio. They were able to climb through a giant obstacle course, swing from ropes, jump in a giant foam pit and bounce in a jumpy house. Add friends, pizza, and cupcakes to that and we had some very happy (yet exhausted) girls.

It seems as though front toothless time is coming to an end for Fiona and Stella as their front teeth are starting to poke through. I decided it was important to capture these toothless grins one last time.

5.30.15: Mt. Lemmon

5.28.15: No more front teeth

It's official - no one in our house under six has front teeth.

Information about our tooth fairy:

Her name is Olive Starglimmer. She leaves a dollar bill for each tooth and usually a chocolate coin. The girls often leave her notes and she usually responds to their questions. She does not respond to requests for additional chocolate or money regardless of how hard they try :)

5.23.15: Goodbye murals

In preparation for putting our house on the market, the girls agreed to paint over their wall murals. The murals were painted when the girls were three and designed completely by the girls. They were thrilled to get to paint on their walls but a little bored by the solid color wall when we were done.
