Tulips tulips tulips tulips

I could not leave out a quick post about the weekend before last. Eric and I celebrated our 7th wedding anniversary and I finally got to go to the tulip festical up in Mount Vernon. It only took us 7 years to finally make it up there-jeesh:)

We had the whole weekend to bask in the sun, take in the georgous scenery of farming land and enjoy our family away from home. We had a wonderful time and we can document it well considering we took 243 pictures at the tulip fields alone ( a bit obsessinve don't you think?), but the wonderful invetion that is digital photography, especially since not all of them turned out well.

Useless to say, we will be making this into an annual tradition for our family as it is just a very simple reminder of God's beauty and a great time to make wonderful memories.
And did I mention, we got to see triplet lambs and have a chicken lay an egg right in front of us-way cool ;)

Frogs, buses and balloons

Oh so much to write about but so little time. Being a mom of two busy little guys has taught me how precious time really is. But after a very lengthy absence here I am again. First of all to report that taxes are all filed and done-phew what a relief :)
We have been staying busy as a family as well. Spring has arrived and being outside is one of Zanders top priorities along with his newest favorite phrase: "what are we doing today???" One question filled with so much excitement, wonder, anticipation and yes sometimes dreadfulness; the last one being on my part when I do not have a planned out gameplan. But I do enjoy the challenge and this past Saturday we took it head on. The farmers market in Olympia has finally openend its doors once again and Zander knows it. Rain or shine that was our destination, of course it rained, we live in WA after all :)
We had a wonderful memory making sort of day. Browsing through the market with lots of stops by the stage, can't go to the market without listening to the band, breaking for a yummy treat and of course a bus ride to round it out. After the initial and planned part of our excursion we wondered to the pond by the tasting room and Zander tried his hand at frog catching for the first time. We found a little green guy and our little guy even held him, aaah the joys of mothering boys are starting to become evident-frogs, bugs....
In the end, we got a doggie shaped balloon and needed to call it a day-the rain won in the end.
Just to mention our little Ethan was along for the whole ride, but ended up sleeping through a lot of the excitement. I wonder how cosy one of those strollers is-must be quite the ride:)

We love being outside out and about again and look forward to many more exciting excursions.
