New addition

Well, I hope it's better late than never because this new addition has already been here for a month:) I thought I'd (finally) put out an official announcement/introduction. Meet Mija!

Our new little doggie! She is half Chug (chihuahua/pug mix) and half teacup chihuahua:) She's 4 years old and super sweet and cuddly. Mina is excited to have a new roommate and she is fitting in quite well around here! Welcome Mija! I can't wait to get my newly purchased dog purse in the mail to carry you around in ;)

Nani and Papa weekend

Well, I didn't take as many pictures as usual, but that only means there will only be like 100 pictures in this post;) This past weekend we headed over the mountains to see my Mom and Dad to try to soak up some sun that hadn't been seen much around these parts. We started the weekend out right:)

WATER FIGHT!!!

Mina was enjoying the sun with her new dog:)

Yeah, yeah, I know there is a whole other story (and post) there, but I'll save it for another time:) Everyone was enjoying the sun!

Well almost everyone

That's better:)

Papa got some kid time:)

Nani got some Mija time:)

The kids enjoyed eating out on the porch

and we all had some patio time!

Cute daddy and daughter!

Nani taught the kids how to give Indian burns (why, I don't know)

and I'm not sure what is going on here

Then it was time for smores! Papa showed Magnus the ropes

but Magnus is a pro

So is Mina:)

Mmmmmm

Magnus is so good at sharing

Mija got in on it too, of course (I mean she is half pug!)

and then the kids got a super treat!

CAMPING WITH NANI AND PAPA!! That was a BIG hit:) I didn't get a lot of pics (well, hardly any, really). This was Nani and Papa camp time;) But I managed to sneak a pic of the scary ghost story telling:)

It was such a great trip! Thank you, Nani and Papa for all the fun!

Who done it?

Who would do this to such a sweet man?

Ok, so it's not the worst black eye ever, but it looks worse in person. Can you guess how he got it?

He may look cute and sweet, but give him a drumstick and WATCH OUT!

SUN!

OK, granted some of these pictures were from the other day that we had sun here in Seattle but here are some pictures of us enjoying all 2 days of it:) Here's to many more!
Last week we went to grandma's for some slippin' and slidin':)

 Even Magnus go tin on it:)

and he enjoyed a ball:)

All the crazy kids had fun!

and then came the Popsicles:)

Magnus liked that part

and when he finished his, he found someone elses to steal!

It wasn't sunny but we went to the Mill Creek Festival last weekend. Max got to be a firefighter:)

 Mina too

and they got fun airbrush tattoos:)

And today on this lovely sunny day we had a great BBQ dinner and SMORES!

started out a little smokey

But Magnus jumped right in!

John prefers a stogie for dessert:)

after toasting

 Perfect

 you gotta put um put together

then it's yummy time!

and time for philosophical conversation around the fire:)

then some loving

and craziness!

and Mina lost her second tooth!

she is SO excited for the tooth fairy! Which reminds me, I better get to fairying:)
Love my family, love the sun, love my family in the sun! More please!
