Happy birthday to Grammy!

My Mom shares a birthday with Jesus...how cool is that? She celebrated her special day while everyone else celebrated too! My Mom is incredible! She is positive, energetic and fun, always there for me, and continues to be my biggest fan (even though I don't play sports anymore)! She is the best Mom and one of my best friends. I am extremely grateful for her!

Mom, thank you for always supporting me, for being my "go to" when I need to talk, for teaching me there is something good in every situation. You have taught me so much and I know my boys will learn a lot from you too! You're the best! I hope you had a great birthday yesterday! I love you!

So much fun!

Mean Dean's Bday

Hey all, Jonathan here. December 15th was Big Poppy's birthday! We were able to hang out with the old man a couple weeks before the big day. Thanks Dad for all you do. Thanks for loving on Crystal and I and the boys. Much love!

Happy birthday, Dad!

Today a very special man celebrates his birthday...my Dad! I love this guy! He is so patient, encouraging, positive, supportive, and much more! I'm extremely blessed to have him in my life as a wonderful example of a loving husband and dad. I'm so thankful my own kids will be influenced by him too! He is awesome!

Dad, thank you for loving the Lord, Mom, and me so well! Your compliments, encouragement, and advice meant (and still mean) a lot to me. You're the best Dad a girl could ever want! Happy birthday! We love you!

Salmon Days

People love their salmon here in Issaquah! There is a two day festival at the beginning of October to celebrate the return of the fish to their birth-waters. I'm serious. For us, it's a fun weekend to watch a parade, look at the booths, and visit the "field of fun" just minutes from our house.

I'm pretty sure this should be a Darigold ad!

Silly boy!

Mesmorized by the parade

Everything goes in the mouth!

Camden was super excited to ride a pony...can't you tell by his face? :) He did this last year too and loved it! Yes, that's Papa in the grey. He and GG were visiting (a separate post on that soon)

Happy boy in the car

Train ride!

Taking it all in

Wheee!

He is a jumping machine on the trampoline at My Gym, but he was a bit timid on this one for some reason.

We hit up the festival both days this year and had a great time! It was a fun way to kick off Camden's birthday celebration since it was the weekend before his big day!

G & G

Gramps and Grammy headed to the Northwest in September for Camden's 3rd birthday party. They arrived a few days before the bash and were a HUGE help (as always)! My Dad headed home to get back to work while my Mom stayed a bit longer (wish it was both, but I was thankful to have one of them). My parents are amazing! They are willing to do anything and everything! My Dad even decorated cupcakes for Camden's party--and he did a great job! I would love for them to live closer, but that's not happening, so I will treasure the times we're together! Thank you, Mom and Dad, for being awesome! I love you two!

Grammy and two handsome fellas (almost got both of them to look)!

Not even close this time, but still cute!

Another one my Mom took...happy boy with his fro-yo (I have no idea where he gets that)

A "big boy's bike" from Gramps and Grammy!

I took my pics, I promise, but they are nowhere to be found. Ugh! There were some really cute ones of my Dad and the boys and they disappeared off of my camera. Bummer!
