A Seattle Labor Day Weekend

For Labor day we headed over to Seattle. But on the way we made a pit stop at Leavenworth. It is a cute little Bavarian town not too far from Seattle. There are a lot of great shops and in each one you went into it felt like Christmas. So I found a pic on google of it a Christmas time. I think next time we go, we will do it around the holidays because I would like to see it decked out in lights like he picture below for myself.




Olivia is holding her Santa snow globe that she got there. Unfortunately she dropped it and it is already broken.

Then, we headed over to seattle. We did the downtown thing and there I was able to get me some of this... aaahhhhh. It was nice to be there.


We were able to hit up Safeco Field and see the Mariners play a game before their season is over.

Gotta love the moose. Olivia wouldn't take a pic with him by herself... so Dad to the rescue. I think he was enjoying it more then her by the look on his face!

Olivia did so good at the game. Near the end she managed to lay in the seat and get nice and comfortable.


We went on a Ferry ride...

And then we hit up Snoqualmie Falls on our way out.


We had a great time. Ate a ton of food and spent time with family. What else could be better?
(not an Alaskan cruise....I'm still a little bitter)

Pics from McCall

We recently got back from our annual trip to McCall. The weather was great and it was a great way to relax and spend time with the fam.

We went Kayaking. Olivia wasn't sure what to think.



We spent a lot of time on the Beach. (my favorite part)



Boat rides, tubing, plenty of skiing and wake boarding



And of course Golf. (How many golf carts does it take for the Walker family?)



And I got plenty of reading time in to finish the Hunger games ... and start The Giver. Both I would recommend.

All in All it was another great trip!

Our Holiday

For our 4th of July Holiday, we had a room with a window,

Given a gown to wear...
Personal room service that waited on me hand and foot...



And bottomless drinks.



But missed these...


So your wondering why?
Do to complications to Kidney stones and pregnancy... Our 4th wasn't the funnest, nor one we really care to remember. After a week in the hospital, I am home and doing better. Hopefully I can just pass these stones and get on with my life and my trip to Utah.

Coming Soon

As you may have guessed, we are expecting child number 2. And since I am 23 weeks along, we thought we would share our news with the world about the upcoming baby.
At our 20 week doctors visit we discovered that the baby has 3 knees.
A Right Knee,
A left Knee,
and a
Weenie!

It's A BOY!

We can't wait to meet him in October!

A Family Weekend

Over Memorial Day Weekend some of my family from Utah made the long trip up to hang out with us. We really enjoyed having them and hope that they enjoyed it here. I tried to make sure that while they were here they would get to experience all that our small town of Moscow has to offer.


We started out at the Farmers Market. Thank goodness the rain held out on us while we were there.



We really wanted to get lunch at one of our favorite places in town, but it was closed! So we settled for another hole in the wall type restaurant. VJ's..I think we would have enjoyed Mikey's more. Sorry guys!



Then, what else do you do in a small town on a rainy day? Oh yes, we went bowling! (Adam, you really shouldn't get so grumpy while playing. Although, you did lose to me, and your wife!)





We ate sugar cookies until we were sick... yum!



And then we gave "Holy Board" a try.





All in All, I had a great time and I know Olivia loved having all the attention from Grandma and Grandpa Wee, Aunt Krissy, Aunt Lauren, and of course Uncle Abbett..(Adam)
We miss you and can't wait to see you all again soon!

What have we been up to lately?

Yard Work! Well not as much as we would like, (thanks to the mother nature and the rain!) but while the warm weather teased us for a week or so, we went to work on our yard. Olivia was our little helper that managed to get right into the digging. (For some reason she used her mouth to move the dirt!)



The weeds were almost as tall as Olivia. She actually really like that though.




She was right in on all the action too. Making sure that she didn't miss a minute of being outside.


In order to get rid of the weeds, we rented a machine to get the job done a little quicker. Unfortunately, we had a bump in the road and the machine got stuck ...(And no, for all those wondering, It wasn't me!)


Luckily our neighbor Tyler, was having a party with all his high school friends that same evening and they brought there muscles over and helped us get it out along with another neighbor who pulled it out with his truck!





And eventually it was free and we were all happy!

BIg Girl Bed

She did it all on her own. One night while heading up the stairs to go to bed, she said, " I want to sleep in Princess room." So we gave it a try and haven't looked back. It is so nice that she can get herself out of bed in the morning and come down when she is ready. And so far we have been really lucky... she doesn't get out much at night if at all. And the craziest part about it is, when we put her to bed she wants us to close her door!



She was so excited to take pictures in her bed the next morning. We must have taken 20.
