all grown up

Something about this picture... Mollie looks all grown up. No baby left!

Our Girlie Girl

Well, this was bound to happen! Our 22 month old loves mimicking mom with her make-up, wearing tutus and playing with her babies. And when Mom is away, the babies play... so Dad was the only one home to witness this beauty :)

The Perfect Day

Thanks to some friends, Daddy started his special day with a break at the Four Season's Golf Course, and Mollie and I soaked up the sun in their amazing pool. Literally... she floated and soaked up the sun. She was in heaven! Perfect day for the whole fam.

Happy Father's Day Daddy!

Thanks to Daddy today for all you do for us and cheers to a wonderful year full of memories with your beautiful baby girl! Enjoy flashing back on this year that flew by with Mollie's first birthday, her baptism, some fantastic snow days and vacations and a new great partner on the golf course. We love you and appreciate all you do!

The Mountains

We capped off our trip with a gorgeous trip to the mountains. We went to Tumble Creek, which is 80 miles East of Seattle in the Cascades. Mollie loved every minute from sitting like a princess on her special rocks, to the walk to the pond, to the hikes in the mountains, to quality Gus time. She loved her late evening runs on the golf course with Dad, her golf cart rides with Papa and the accompanying search for deer, her much deserved relaxing time with Nana, and of course capping the whole trip off with a family dance party!

Mollie, thanks for being a wonderful travel buddy, the best trusty sidekick I could ever as for! And to the rest of the fam, thanks for your help and flexibility with Mollie. She enjoyed all of the attention and QT with all of you!

Parents Playtime

We were so blessed to have Meghan's friend Cam offer to hang out with Mollie so the adults could do some non-child friendly activities. Mollie and Reece had a great day playing with play doh, at the park and in the sprinkler. Thanks again Cam!We spent our time enjoying the beautiful sunny day at Pike's Place Market downtown, then a boat ride around the lakes. Gorgeous!

Seattle Adventures

Our adventures started out with a brewery tour. Can't think of anything more appropriate for a 22 month old. Of course, she loved it, especially the dance party in the middle of the tour.

and dinner...

She also had some time to enjoy the views of Seattle's Lake Union, UW Campus and beautiful gardens!

After all the excitement out and about, we did some hula at home (you can see a dance theme for the trip here!)
