Fox Hollow

This week we went to Fox Hollow Farm in Issaquah with our cousins. This place is beautiful and the kids had such a fun time four wheeling, petting/feeding the animals, riding the train, and playing house. The miniature play houses they have are amazing. Side note: I am pretty sure Pea wants to be a vet/rock star (it changes most weeks) now. She had so many questions about each animal. Whereas Harp just has a certain way with animals. Go figure. She may or may not, but definitely be a cat lady come the future. I think it's because she has no fear. In the pigpen: Pea gently stroked and talked to the little piggies and Harp chased them, tried to pick them up, and then walked over to the Mama, gave her a pat on the tush, and said she needs some love.
Beautiful weather and fun times with family! Hopefully more outings like this coming our way soon...

Instagram Catch-Up

This month has proven to be busier than I originally suspected it might become. To catch you up; here are some everyday moments, which include: BSF Hipster Mondays, inspiration, my manly man,
the return of swim lessons, birthday parties, library and school trips, a visit to my mom and dad's, lounging with Bru (who MUST be in the middle of T&C at. all. times. Period

Death, Taxes, and Chalk Boards

Tonight was our Annual Tax Dinner with C & A. I tried to get a ton of pictures this year and really only ended up with a couple...of chalk boards. And then it became sorta my theme. Like four years ago with eggs...
We started out at Taylor Shellfish, which was very tasty if you dig creatures of the sea and we do. Then on to Melrose Market for a drink and to Mezcaleria Oaxaca on Queen Anne for our main course. And finally to Molly Moon's for ice cream. Yum. We always have a wonderful time with our Tax Ace and Hub. Thanks for letting this be your payment:) Wonder where Ty's research will lead us next year?

3!

Today Harper Reen is 3! 3 is BIG. It's when you can do swim and VBS and T-ball and the really BIG one: preschool! Unreal. Our baby is NO baby. Right now, Harp, you are hilarious. You are just you. There's no other way to describe it. You have a funny relationship with life. You do you all the time. If we tell you you're a princess; you say, "No, I'm Harpa!" A very developed sense of self. You know your colors, numbers to 20 (sorta), love to draw, and can say your ABC's. You dance and sing a lot. You are super independent. Love to have your nails done and your hair is so cute with one side long. It's you in a hair cut. You still love the garbage truck and motorcycles. Papa just let you ride with him on his Harley in AZ. You LOVED it. It was scary how much. You have 4 grandparents that adore you. A sister who thinks you are hysterical. Two parents who think the WORLD of you. And countless other family and friends who appreciate your unlimited cuteness, strangeness, and over all ability to make us laugh. Here's a look back at 2 and 1. We LOVE you HRB. And here you are in all your Harper glory...

Rawhide Birthday

"Rollin', rollin', rollin'"
Babe H turns 3 (3!) this Friday so we decided to celebrate her with a family party in Arizona at Rawhide. It's a ranch/ghost/shanty town with attractions and burro rides. It was hilarious. The girl LOVED it. She especially loved when a country duo sang Happy Birthday to her at dinner. I'm lucky she wasn't wearing the crown Andi got her in every shot. This literally had to be a separate post because the pictures were so good. Stay tuned for the 12th for more birthday fun!

Hot Spot

We've just returned from a sun-filled spring break to Gramma and Papa's house in Arizona. Boy, was it hot! And we had such a blast. As the years pass,these vacations with family become just that much more fun because we have so many memories built and building. I loved it all: Our double date to Pizza Bianco (absolutely amazing atmosphere; how's that for alliteration?), Ty's random dance party with Ky, Pea learning to REALLY swim for the first time, reading, my mom being able to join us, Harper's Rawhide Birthday party (separate post; the girl turns 3 on Friday!), and B.S. Thank you Steve & Carolyn for taking us, it's priceless! As always for legit pictures, go here!
