NorthWest Trek - Paul's Birthday!

It's Paul's birthday and he wanted to do a family activity in the morning. And since we had our zoo passes we decided to go to the NorthWest Trek animal park.



We got to ride a tram that took us close up to the animals





The Rams were right next to the tram, it was really neat!

They also had a lot of walking trails where we could visit other animals

Hi Slug (that's what Austin always says to his oma)

Happy Birthday sweet pumpkin. We sure do love you a whole lot!

Point Defiance Zoo

My good friend Rachel and I split a combo Zoo and NorthWest Trek annual passes. These passes are an amazing deal, not only can we go but our kids and 3 free guests get to come with us every time. This time we invited our other friend Sara and her cute kidd 



Rachel, Quinn, Andrew, Austin, Me. Sara, Olivia and Zooie



Austin loves looking at elephants, he kept yelling "hi Dumbo!"

All the kids pressed up against the glass trying to get as close to the animals as possible

At the end of our day, eating lunch and catching the animal show

but before we left they had a cute park with an awesome slide that Austin just had to try!

We loved the zoo and looking at all the animals. We look forward to many more trips there this year.

It's Starting to Warm up!

It's starting to warm up here in the Pacific North West and the kids and I couldn't be more thrilled. They love being outside, playing in the backyard, running in the sprinklers and going to the park.

Half way there!

Father's Day

Happy Father's day to the best dad my boys could ask for!

The kiddos and I made Paul and candy card this year and it was a bog hit!

We also made him this t-shirt, he loved it and wore it out to dinner that night (we celebrated on Saturday)

These boys sure to adore their daddy and who wouldn't.

Zoo Day

We got FREE tickets from my awesome neighbor to go to the Woodland Zoo in Seattle. So we decided to take Paul for our Father's day outing.

Happy Father's day to the best dad in the whole world!

Austin was pretty excited about touching the farm animals that he almost when in there himself.

Austin"s favorite animal by far, the snake!

We had such a fun day at the zoo. The kids loved all the animals and we had so much fun on our day out as a family.

Finally summer in Washington

We have been going to different parks everyday soaking in as much sun and playing outside while we can. Found this great park with lots of walking trails in downtown Puyallup.

Austin says he is fishing like his opa!

We went to South Hill park (144th and 84th). They have a great wooded walking trail and at the end of it, it has a great park for both kiddos.

Loving this weather!

It's a...

BOY!!!

Due November 2012

The boys couldn't be more excited about being big brothers. Paul and the boys are looking forward to father and sons outing and playing with lots of trains, cars, and planes. Can't believe we are having 3 boys and we couldn't be more thrilled!

Swimming lessons with daddy!

Paul wanted to try his hand at lessons with Austin and had a blast!

Austin loved showing his daddy all the new skils that he has learned.

We are so proud of Austin and can't wait for lessons to start up again this summer!
