We have a swimmer!

Beautiful Chelan

We had yet another great weekend at Lake Chelan.

We discovered the Chelan Chase.

A 5K fundraiser for the local hospital and breast cancer treatment.

We decided to go for it!Bundle up the babies in the BOB and let's go!

We also had a picnic lunch at 25 mile creek state park.
They have a wonderful playground.
Look! I'm IN the bubble!

HUGE slides! Weee!

It was a breath-taking, crisp fall day.

Dana didn't understand why she couldn't go IN the water.

And was frankly upset she couldn't go in.

A great trip for a great reason - to celebrate Casey's wedding.

Congratulations to Casey and Alison.

Growing Boy

Blake will be 4 months old on the 30th.

He is growing in leaps and bounds.

He used to sleep in this moses basket... Dana slept in it too. But, all of a sudden it got too small!
Ahhh, much better. Room to spread out!

He's in size 4 diapers, and in size 6 months clothes!

Such a

happy baby. He loves to hang out with his big sister.

She colors, he plays with his toys.

Mom just sits back and watches.

... and makes sure Dana doesn't poke him in the eye.

September, in a nutshell

September just flew by...

We went boating with Mom and John on Lake Washington. Check out Mt. Rainier and the Seahawks training facility behind them.
Baby Blake is a boater!

Then we did the Puyallup Fair with the Wests.

It was the first time on the rides for the kiddos...

Maybe Dana was just a little under height and age.

She loved it.

Anything Lucas was going to do, she was going to do too!

Here's Lucas showing Dana how to push the button to sound the horn.

Elmo was on Dana's pack that serves as a 'kid leash' - perfect for our toddler who loves to bolt in large crowds. And LOVES anything Elmo.

We also had an awesome family vacation to Lake Chelan.

My dad and step mom rented a great house.

Allen and Blake all ready to go boating.

Dana too!Mostly, we just had fun hanging out with Grandpa and Nana.
