Good and Bad week

In the last week we went to the zoo with all the cousins and the Microsoft Company Picnic.

Here is a pic of the kids as the zoo.



Here are some great pictures of the MS Picnic....

Ivy's first airbrush tattoo. It is a green gecko.



Ivy's first face painting...


Playing with bubbles


Her flower balloon


And best of all her first pony ride...

She was so excited when "Toro" started to move. Check out her face :)


The good and bad news is that on Saturday we found out for sure that I was pregnant. The sad thing is that on Monday I started bleeding and I lost the baby. I was 6 weeks along. :(

Edmonds Beach

Today Ivy and I went to Edmonds Beach. Thought you guys might like to see some pictures.

Happy Birthday Ivy and 4th of July

On June 28th we celebrated Ivy's 2nd birthday. Her actually birthday is the 29th but Saturday's are better for parties because of church. The party started at 11am and ended around 2pm. We had lunch, time with friends in the pool, strawberry shortcake for dessert and presents. In the 3 hours Greg managed to take 616 pictures and the battery died on our camera before the party even ended. Needless to say he likes the 3 pictures per second. :) It was alot of pictures to sort threw though. I am still not done but I thought you guys would like to see some of the cute ones.











4th of July
Sam, Dorothy, Pat, Robin, Gail, Corey, Adrienne, Me, Greg, Steve, Jess and all 4 of the cousins went to the Bothell 4th of July Parade. I think all the kids had a great time and got overly stimulated. :)

Ivy and Daddy

Ivy's first "boyfriend"

Ivy and our friends son Austin seem to play together quite well. We would even go as far as to say he is her first "boyfriend". Of course we as parents laugh, joke and dream about the possibility that they will get married some day. What a story that would be to say they were in love from the age of 1. :) Until the next boy comes along I guess.

They hug, he shares his goldfish, apples, any snack really...but he doesn't share "her portion" with anyone else. Grrr to the other kids. :)

Here are some pictures of the two of them.






Here they are walking together and he is again sharing food with her at the zoo.
