Cougar Zoo With Adam

Last week we went to the Cougar Zoo with Hannah's good friend, Adam. They had lots of fun playing together and Rachel got to tag along, too.

Rachel wanted to feed the gorilla.

This bird liked dancing with the kids.

Preschool-Part 3

After school we decided to go to the park (which is across the field from the school).

A few friends went, too. Hannah and Adam seem to get along really well. Maybe because he had Spiderman shoes and she had a Spiderman shirt.

Benson and Adam both really wanted to push Hannah in the swing.

It was so fun for Hannah to have frineds to play with at the park. Usually she tried to play with kids there who are older and they aren't always nice to tag-a-long 3 year olds.

Hannah helped Adam up the climbing wall.

After a long time at the park the girls and I decided to take the bus to Costco for a special "first day of school" hotdog.

It sure was a fun day! Hooray for preschool!

Eclipse

I stole this picture from Angie's blog (I hope she doesn't mind).

I tagged along with some friends to see Eclipse. We went to one of the midnight showings. Let me just say that these girls know how to see a movie. I had so much fun!

Cement Slide Park with Friends

We went to the cement slide park with our friends, James and Chase.

James and Chase helped Hannah go down the big slide.

It sure was a fun time at the park!

Birthday Party Fun

We attended a super fun birthday party for some friends during our trip.

Hannah loved the giant slide.
Rachel was having a hard day. I took her down the slide but she didn't seem to enjoy it that much.

She mostly preferred to stand by me while eating crackers and dancing quietly with her snug.

The cake. The party was Italian themed, hence the "bowl of spaghetti" cake.

Hannah and Grandma on the big slide.

They have a zip line and little Hannah decided to try it all by herself. Luckily Grandma was near by and caught the rope. Hannah had a blast.

Grandpa got his face painted.

Our friends, James and Chase, showing me thier scary faces!

It sure was a fun party. Not pictured: the stilt-walkers, all the yummy food, the delicious pizza (yes, it get's to be mentioned seperately), all the friends, the beautiful flowers, the clowns, the face painter, the conga line. I was glued to Rachel for most of the night and she was not in a picture taking kind-of mood. Thanks for letting us come to such a fun party!

Jim!

Dan's good friend Jim and his cute little family were in town from Texas last week and we got to see them. Their daughter, Cambry, is 13 months. We took the girls to our little zoo.

Hannah and Cambry had a fun time playing together. They liked to chase each other and scream. I wish I had taken a video because they were so cute. Maybe next time.

Thanks for the visit Jim and Marissa! We had a fun day!

Rachel Goes Swimming

Little Rachel got to go swimming for the first time last week. Our friends, the Allreds, came over and we took the kids down to the pool.

Rachel's Blessing

Last Sunday we blessed little Rachel. We had a lot of family come (which was especially nice since we made them help us move). It turned out to be a cold and rainy weekend (big surprise!) but we had a good time anyway. Here are a lot of pictures in no particular order.
