a ferry boat ride...

It was a gorgeous day in Seattle to say the least! We decided to take the kids on their first ferry boat ride to Bainbridge Island! I'm not sure if I've actually ever been to that particular island, but I fell in love with it! I seriously think I could move there...and if you know me well, you know that I adore where I live...perhaps when the kids are in college...

I took a few pictures of the beginning of our adventure, but apparently I completely forgot about my camera after that! So here is a glimpse of our glorious day...

Just curious...

Hello Friends and Family! I hope you are enjoying this gorgeous sunny day! We've been playing outside and doing yard work!

So...yesterday...I cleaned my entire house top to bottom. I have always used the same cleaning products...usually...comet, tilex, clorox, windex etc...However as I was cleaning the kids' bathroom (specifically their bathtub) with comet...I thought about all the chemicals that I use to clean surfaces that touch their sensitive little bodies! And while, I definitely want to be a germ buster (we've had our fair share of illness this year), it occurred to me that some of these products may be worse for them than the germs I think I'm killing!

SO...with all that said, I'm curious...what do you use to clean your house? And what do you use when someone gets the flu...do you use the harsh chemicals to kill the bad germs? Is it only on that occasion that you use those cleaners? Do share...I clean a lot...and I'm wondering what I should use!!

Little Gym Graduation

This was our last week at the Little Gym! Brindley was suppose to graduate to the next class, but there aren't any times that work with Colden's preschool schedule! We are very sad to be done with the Little Gym for now because it has been an awesome experience for both kiddos!

I'm looking into other gymnastic options for Brindley, or we may just have to wait till she turns 3 when many more options open up!

I also just registered my baby for preschool next year! This was super hard for me. I also registered Colden for PreK 4 days a week next year! Brindley will go 2 days a week. They will both be at the incredibly awesome Glory Days! I can't think too much about it just yet! = (

The bars...her favorite!

Climbing wall

More bars and the wonderful Teacher Sandy!

So proud!

Aloha!

We had an AMAZING vacation! Everything went so smoothly and the kids were incredible! They are at a super age and while I had my doubts about the plane ride, they surprised me!

We had tons of beach time, some pool time, shopping, and spending time together! The highlight was parasailing for me! If you know me well, you know that is massively out of my comfort zone! I LOVED it and would do it again! I don't have any pictures of it just yet (I do have proof coming!), because I didn't want to take my camera on the boat! Another highlight was celebrating my Mom's 60th Birthday! It was a super day filled with the spa, sun and great food!

I apologize for all the pictures, but I couldn't narrow it down any more! = ) Parasailing photos to come, I promise!!
