Spinning, jumping, running!

Snow Leopards

While the actual snow leopards were elusive, we had a lot of fun pretending to be snow leopards!

Macie and Caroline

Hurry, take the picture! One baby is looking the right way!!!!

My sherpas, Jen and Madz, looking fierce!

Orangutans? Where are you?


HIPPOS! Does anyone know what a hippo says? We just growl, but I don't think that's right....

Just being silly

Like our hats? We put them on ourselves!

Macie, trying on another hat, and Caroline being goofy!

Check this out, mom. We can take off our own diapers!

Mike brought the girls out to Woodinville early Saturday to cheer on Madeline and company in their 10k and 5k races!

Madz, giving Caroline some love :)

Many hands make light work

I just finished up coaching an all day, two week rowing camp for junior girls. It was so fun and so exhausting! The only way I could do it was with all the help I got from friends and family to take care of the girls while I was working. Thank you so much Ashley, Tina, Nicole, mom, dad, Jen, Betsy, and Megan!!!! Here are some pictures from the day that Betsy and Megan came to play, along with Megan's 9-year old twins, Seren and Celeste....

Caroline, Betsy, and Celeste

Megan, with all the girls!!!! Reading time!

The mommies and their babies - you can barely see Megan, but at least her girls still want to cuddle! It gives me hope :)

Happy Birthday, dad! Let's go Running!!!!

Macie, Mike, and Caroline on Mike's bday - after spending all day long with their daddy!

THE BIG RACE! 50m dash! It was amazing!!!! The whistle blew and all the kids took off running.... except for Macie and Caroline. Macie sat down and started playing with the orange cone while Caroline just watched everyone. But, with a little prompting (Mike holding Caroline's hand and me carrying Macie, until Gabe took her from me - see picture), they finished the race and got their RIBBONS! Very exciting!!!!

Here's Uncle Tony geared up to run his fastest firefighter mile ever - Gabe and Jon joined him for the race. Pretty cool!

Weekend in Bellingham

We went up to Bellingham a couple weekends ago and got to spend lots of time with Ama and Daca as well as Cheryl, Tony, Jon, and Gabe. We took family pictures, went for a hike, and even danced and played at an outdoor concert that night.... Here's Gabe working on his baby carrying skills Pensive Jon
Caroline sleeping on the hike.... Who woke me up!?!?!
