Big Boy Bed

A few months ago Levi started jumping out of his bed. I couldn't believe it!! Sammy never did that. We took the front off of his crib but then he wouldn't sleep in it anymore. He started sleeping in the glider in his room. We took that out of his room and then he started sleeping on his couch. I just don't know why he wouldn't sleep in his bed so I took the couch out. We took his crib down and put up Sammy's old toddler bed in his room. Problem solved!! He is now sleeping in his big boy bed!! Yay!! When he wakes up he knocks on his door to let us know he is awake. So cute!!

An Unattended Toddler

This is what happens when you leave your toddler alone for two seconds!! He puts mascara on!!! Sammy did the same thing when he was little. I tried to find the one of Sammy but no luck!!

Another Day in Seattle

When my sister Sam was here visiting we went to Seattle to take some pictures with her new camera. I have never been to Alki Beach and I didn't know what I was missing!! It is so pretty. I didn't want to leave!! Then we headed back to downtown Seattle. We parked and then took a really looooonnnnggg walk to the Space Needle. Sammy thought his legs were going to fall off but he did really great!! Then we went over to Pikes Place Market. I am not much for crowds so I was ready to leave but not before we stopped at the nasty gum wall....lol. We only had two pieces of gum so Sam and Sammy put theirs on the wall. It was a really fun day and I wish my sister still lived here!! I miss her!!!

Pool Time

I walked in the house for two seconds and this is what I come back to find. Levi in the pool with his clothes on. He is such a boy!!

July 4th:Part Two

Normally for the 4th we go to the Ridgefield Parade but since the 4th was on a Sunday this year that meant that the parade was on Saturday. Sammy loves getting candy and necklaces at the parade. Then we go over to my in laws and spend the day outside. Levi played in the pool and ate watermelon all day. He LOVES watermelon. Sammy had fun shooting roman candles and sparklers. I Had a nice time relaxing and reading magazines!! We had a blast!!

July 4th:Part One

Every year for the 4th of July we go to visit our family. This year my sister was visiting!! I was so excited to see her. I wish it could have been longer. Maybe someday we will live close again. Anyways we had some fun by the campfire making smores and later we watched movies. It was nice and relaxing.

Our Annual Beach Trip to Ocean Shores

Every year we plan a trip to the beach. We like to go during the Sand and Sawdust Convention. On Saturday they have a big sand castle competition going on. This year we went too early to see the finished sand castles but it was still fun to be at the beach. The also have the chainsaw guys and gals there. Sammy thinks it is too loud but one day I bet he will think it is pretty cool.

We spent a lot of time down by the actual beach. We flew a kite and the boys played in the water...kinda. Levi didn't really like the water. Whevever the waves came up to his he put his hand up and starting saying "no, no, no!!!" Maybe next year he will like it. It was a great trip. Can't wait to go back!!
