 NBC tower

 The Chicago Tribune building

The view from the building that Chris was working at.  He went to Chicago for work.  He was only gone for 3 days but he had a blast.

                                                                     There's Chris

They did a concert for the upcoming Broadway shows.  Chris went to the ampli- theatre and watch them perform a couple of songs from each play that was coming.  HE even got to see Cyndi Lauper
We sure did miss him, but this was great for him and his job.

Space Needle and 7 months

Well first of all Kennedy turned 7 months.  I can not believe she is this big.  Time is really going by so fast.

She is...

18 lbs 4 oz

wearing 6-12 months in clothes

She sits up and is rolling from her back to tummy.

She gets in the position to crawl but doesn't know how to move her hands just yet.

She is getting better at going to bed.  She doesn't take very long naps.  It doesn't seem to bother her.

Sometimes she will nap for 2-3 hours and then the other is more like 45 mins to 1 hr. 3-4 times a day.

She has a cold.  Both her and Carter caught one, so she is getting up in the night.  Chris has been sweet enough to get up with her, if I get up with her she will just want me to nurse her.

She is riding in the cart with Carter now and she loves it.  

We bought a groupon for oil changes and the place is 3 blocks from the space needle, so I took the kids there for a picnic.  It was a lot of fun.  It was crowded as well.

Not a bad way to take a tour of parts of Seattle.

Random Carter

The pool at our complex is not very warm, most of the time we go to the lake it is a little warmer, but today it didn't matter where we swam, just as long as you do.  We finally hit 90 for a couple of days.  

Carter has been falling alot, Most of you are thinking "And this has changed" no but here are a few pictures of what his poor little body looks like

His poor knees

This was over a week ago.

He added to the first bump with this other pump when he fell off the stroller, he was climbing.

Orca whale and a bump

You can see it that well but in between his eyes and over the left eye he has a goose egg and a black eye.  He tripped over his shoe and landed on the wheel of the shopping cart.  First time I ever heard it make such a loud crack.  He was so upset and we were suppose to go to the splash park after.  Well when we went they had some bounce houses there.

which totally cheered him up.  Then we had lunch and then I let him play at the orca splash pad.  I didn't bring swim trunks because it was overcast but I should have because it kept getting cold and then warm.  So he went in his pants.

He had a blast!

Seriously how cute is she.  She smiles all the time.  You give her love and she loves you right back.

Stuff

Down the street is a blueberry farm.  So we went one night for FHE.  The neighbors invited us to go with them.  that is little Christopher behind chris.  Carter had a great time and it is pretty cheap like $1 a pound.

My little girl turned 6 mos.  I can not believe how fast time is going.  I don't remember it going this fast before.  I love this dress.  I found it at savors for $3!  I love it.

Every year at the community Center there is a "Beat the Heat" where they have bounce houses with water coming from it, icee's, water balloon toss and the best part is a fire truck comes at the end for 30 mins and hoses the crowd off.  Well Carter was so excited for the fire truck but the second they put the ladder all the way up and the crowd started screaming Carter just freaked out.  Then the water came and he was done.  I picked him up and ran with him in the crowd.  I think the fact people were screaming is what scared him the most.  After I put his towel on he did not want to do anything while the fire truck had it's hose out.  After we went and said hi to the firemen.  It was a great day.  We went with the Pachuilo's.  We are always with them and I am so thankful for their friendship.

I wanted to remember somethings...things about how it has been and what it is like.

When we moved here gas was $4.30 a gal, it takes Chris 25 mins in the morning to get to work

and 45 on the way home.  Takes 10 mins to the freeway, 10 mins to the church house.

Sammamish was established a city in 2005, there is only 3 fast food places to eat at.

Issaquah is where we go for everything and it's right by the freeway.

The humidity is not always noticeable but I can tell on my carpet, sometimes it is just a little moist.  During summer because of the NO AC, you have to lock down your house keep blinds closed, windows open, then about 11ish close windows and then when the heat is the hottest at 4 your apt will be cool and you can have the blinds open.  Then at night open the  windows and blinds and just freeze yourself out.  If I don't do this then it is miserable.
