Yesterday we went to the Seattle Aquarium with Elizabeth, Cierra, Katri (my babysitter), Karli, Kisstine, Arden, Jessica and James…

The wall of fish was really cool, I could stare at it all day long! Elizabeth didn’t like the scuba diver, she wanted nothing to do with him!

Yes, that is real behind Elizabeth!

James and Elizabeth became great friends!

Here fishy fishy…

James, come on!

Thanks everyone for coming with us! We had a great day even thought mommy got a ticket for $43, oops!

Kalia is 2!

She wasn’t quiet sure what to do with that candle, either that or she was just super shy like I get after I wake up from my naps.

Kalia you are supposed to make a mess!

That’s more like it!

This is my new friend Jane, I sure do like her and I look forward to visiting with her some more!

What do you have over there mommy? Maybe I’ll come look in a bit after I get done sliding…

Far too many eyes on me, I have to go hide!

A little to your left mommy, I can’t quiet see what I got…

Oh, daddy, you are talking my language!

Here I come mommy!

Thanks daddy…what else do you have here mommy?

Mommy put me in a white shirt today and then gave me watermelon, what was she thinking?

Kalia is all ready to go!

Happy birthday Kalia! Thanks for letting us spend some time with you too on your special day. I can’t wait to play with you some more this weekend!

I am the worlds biggest ham!

Today was a day of birthdays! It all started with James turning 4.

The birthday boy! He had a Toy Story themed day so he dressed as Buzz, so cute!

Jessica, I’m done asking you for that ball…this green stuff looks interesting!

Nothing like some lawn clippings to get your day started!

Yum, weeds. Mommy always tells me that greens are good for me!

James, that looks like so much fun, you are going to have to teach me what that thing does when I come over.

My new hair style, ladies…

Holy cow James, you are a lucky duck!

Check out this cake, Katri is going to have to give my mommy lessons when it comes time to do something for my 1st birthday.

Happy 4th birthday James, thanks for inviting us to share your special day! See you in a few days!

My mommy’s great friend Danielle just had a new son…his name is Trenton Gabriel Chaput, born July 23rd at 9pm. He was a whopping 6lbs, 10.2 oz…the size of a cheeseburger compared to me!

I look forward to growing up with you Trenton, we are going to be great friends!

Yesterday mommy took Elizabeth and I to the Children’s Museum in Everett (http://imaginecm.org/) to see my most favorite cousins – Mindy, Griffin and Hudson.

Hanging out in the Barn Area

My new friend Elizabeth! Mommy remembers the day she was born and seeing her in the hospital and now she is going to be 4. She is getting big!

Elizabeth wanted to make the chicken puzzle so I thought I would help…we never finished it.

Fin and Elizabeth played on the train track together, they were having lots of fun!

One of my adorable cousins Griffin…

…and here is the other, Hudson.

Up in the tree house.

Elizabeth liked the tree house but needed mommy’s help going across the bridge, it moved when you walked across!

Up on the stage they could see themselves in the TV, the kids could even control the music and lights, I can’t wait until Hudson and I are old enough to play up there too!

Mommy and me

Check out this – Elizabeth opened the door and said, “WOW, COOL!”

Check out her hair!

Hudson…I could eat you for lunch!

Come back here!

Mommy and Mindy were having a tough time getting us to look at them, we wanted to play – silly mommies!

The dino dig – Elizabeth actually found bones!

Water time! Fin was soaked! Elizabeth was a bit wet but not to much, they both loved the water!

All tuckered out! It was a long day and we were both so tired. Half way home Elizabeth told mommy, “Thank you for taking me, I had so much fun but I’m so tired!” So mommy told her it was ok for her to close her eyes and she feel fast asleep. Mommy tried to get a picture of both of us but I woke up to soon.

Thanks for playing with us Elizabeth, it was good to finally meet you and and I can’t wait for more adventures with you! We still have the zoo, aquarium and many other places to visit so we will be sure to call you!

One day when I grow up I want to be just like my Uncle Seth. I can’t wait for him to teach me how to ride this thing!

Thank for playing with me Uncle Seth – I love you!

We come from the same gene pool!

My Auntie Stacey after 12 hours of work. She is always in such a good mood and I just love her!

Uncle Curt telling me a secret…

No pictures mom, I was playing with Uncle Curt!

Aunt Sharron!

Uncle Curt, can we go see Uncle Seth?

Uncle Seth!

I hope you had a good drive back Uncle Curt and Aunt Sharron! We will miss you can look forward to seeing you again! I love you both!

I finally got to meet Amanda!

Mommy said she has gotten really big! She is going to be 7 this year.

Quiet the look!

This is my auntie Tonette and Uncle Chris, he is going to be a senior in high school next year, I can’t wait for my trip to Texas to see him graduate!

Amanda tries out the Ferris Wheel for the first time, she screamed the first time around.

The last and final ride called the Paratrooper…both are rubbing their hands in anticipation. Meanwhile Auntie Toni is thinking Amanda will never last through this ride, it is WAY too fast!

Again, again!

Backwards time, check out my Auntie Toni’s hair, that is wild!

Maple Valley Days was great! It was the first time Amanda rode some rides and she has to much fun she didn’t want to stop! Thanks for letting all of us stop by and play! My mommy sure does miss all of you!

Garden Vegetable mooshed up food is my most favorite thing ever!

Mommy got me a cool Doggy hat at the Redmond Farmer’s Market!
