Seattle...
On a total whim I decided to fly to Seattle with Tyler on business last week. Thank goodness for my super flexible and willing mother who didn't even hesitate when I called to ask if she would watch the kids. Love her! We stayed an a beautiful resort that sits right on the Snoqualmie waterfall. The Northwest has been pounded with rain so the river was really high. It was crazy to stand in the resort and look out the window and see all the water...made me a tiny bit nervous! We didn't make it down to the lower observation deck but did our best to take a few pictures. These are the only three pictures I took of the whole trip (and they are terrible) and look at us all cute and goofy. We have been married almost 10 years I love this funny guy more today then ever! It was a fun few days filled with lots of rest, reading, movies, and plenty of good food! 
Itty Bitty Basketball...
Oh how I love that these boys love each other so much! They are doing itty bitty basketball together at the Legacy Center and were lucky enough to be put on the same team. Itty bitty ball is ALWAYS fun but it is even more fun that they get to do it together. They are SO excited to see each other twice a week and I am equally as excited to be able to sit and chat with my sister. It's a win win situation! :) Now if I could just get Summer to sit still for that hour it would be perfect!
