Stanwood-Camano Island Fair

Today, Alex, Julia & I ventured out with the 6 little kids (Abby (5), Aiden & Connor (4), Charlie (3), Kjell (2) and MacKenzie (1)) to the fair! We had a lot of fun but I am soooo tired now!! We were there all day, did and saw everything! Here are a few (okay a lot) of pictures of our fun!

One of the last rides of the day was the rollercoaster. The ‘bigger’ kids rode it without getting off for about 45minutes! They LOVED it!! While they road it the rest of us sat and rested (Kjell even slept right next to the screamin’ rollercoaster!).

After sitting (and sleeping) for quite awhile the babies wanted a turn. We assumed that adults could ride the rollercoaster so we said they could go. Well to our surprise we couldn’t so we put the babies on by themselves! OMG they had so much fun!!

After the rollercoaster the babies were ready for more rides!

We’re home, I’m tired and we have another day of fun tomorrow! Dillon & Molly come home on Sunday morning, so until then it’s work work work for me! We’ll head back to their place tomorrow night so they are home for their parents arrival on Sunday morning!! We’ve had a lot of fun this trip!!

Swimming with Triplets …. X 2

This week Seattle has had record breaking heat…we’ve hit 100degreees the last couple of days! It is HOT HOT HOT! Luckily I have been working and could take advantage of the pool and A/C! So yesterday during the babies nap Kelly came over, and Alex was watching the Elkins Triplets so they came over too. We had so much fun swimming, not to mention stayed cool!!

Then the babies woke up so they came in with us! Nate actually enjoyed the pool for the first time! Jack & Nate stayed on the ‘ledge’ (shallow area of the pool) where they could jump and play! Gabbi however is all over the pool!!

Renton River Days

Brandi was watching the girls today and we wanted to do something fun and different so we discovered that Renton was having their annual “River Days” festival.  So we decided to go there for the afternoon!  It was really fun and best of all completely FREE!

The first thing Madison did was fire the Firefighter Hose.  She thought she was really cool and concentrated really hard!!  A little while later I was really hot so went to stand in the line of fire with Emma and got soaked.  Emma freaked so I moved out of the area and then the water followed us and Brandi, Maddie, Emma, myself & the stroller were then soaking wet!

 

She also toured the SWAT truck!  Apparently the SWAT truck cost $230,000 and was paid by drug seized money!  That’s amazing!!

After that we headed over to play the drum thing they had set up.  It was a whole bunch of old pots and pans strewn together.  Madison loved it!

Maddie then took a turn on the Dizzy Bus which is an old school bus that they converted into a traveling gymnasium  Maddie went right on and had a blast!!

After that Madison insisted she wanted to rock climb….OMG she was gonna do it!!  But she happily put her harness and helmet on and started climbing a few steps then was done!  Very proud of herself!!

    

We had a great day…it was super hot and I was ready to go home by the end of it!!

Oh and the one loan picture of Miss Emmalee

“Here I Come Again”

Yesterday, I was playing outside with the triplets and Nate discovered pushing the car around the driveway.  He then quickly realized that even more fun was running full speed into Alex & I with the car!  He did it over and over with this silly “OH” look on his face and every time would yell “Here I Come Again”.  The little guy is talking so much lately and is so stinkin’ cute!  Here are a couple of pictures of him with the car!

     

I’ve been on a picture taking frenzy lately!  Very little words in my posts, just lots of pictures!  I guess that’s not a bad thing!!

Family Day

On Saturday my family had a Family Day.  We went to Willows Run Golf Course, had lunch and then played some mini-golf.  My mom won and came in first, followed by Alex, my dad, me and then Kelly came in last. 

Eating Lunch


Let the game begin!

Alex surprised everyone and did REALLY well!!  I wish I had done as good as she did!!

 
Can you spot all 4 of us?

Kelly & Mom

My mom got the only Hole-in-One of the game!!  She was so proud of herself…I think she cheated ;)  We had a good time, didn’t kill each other and actually had fun!
