The doctors are in!

We went to Michael's today and picked up these great doctor mask and cap for only $0.30! So, once daddy got home tonight they had to try them out and check him to diagnose his illnesses which took a long time. Owen commented that he actually wasn't a doctor yet but one in training...just for clarification!

Toothless

To hopefully avoid some orthodontic work later on, it was recommended that Emma have her canines pulled. They were quite large and difficult to get out but she was a trooper and she earned a gift afterward. She wasn't really bothered by what she looked like, however she did look in the mirror and say that she looked like a beaver! Hopefully, this will save us some money down the line!

10th Anniversary

We celebrated our 10th anniversary up in Seattle. We dropped the kids off at my dad's on the way to a shopping and kid-free day in downtown Seattle. It was a rainy day but overall we didn't get too wet and had a lot of fun. We got a lot of fun goodies and enjoyed just spending time with each other. We found ourselves a couple times just sitting quietly and enjoying the fact that we didn't have to tell Owen no or stop the kids from fighting!

We ended with a wonderful dinner at Anthony's at Pier 66. We had a beautiful view even though it was rainy and they gave us a super yummy dessert (warm chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream on top!)

Before and...

After!

The babies were out!

Having a membership to the zoo allows us to visit anytime we want. We sometimes go to just play or to merely look at an animal we have been talking about. It is a great learning experience. Well, a while back to zoo acquired two clouded leopards and we have had fun visiting them; they are sooo cute. Then about 8 weeks ago the Sumatran tiger had two cubs and they are finally ready to see all their visitors. With Owen on my shoulders proclaiming quite loudly that they were soooo adorable I snapped these shots and a couple others. The babies are very cute, Owen had it right!!

Buddies

How cute is this? They didn't want out, but it may have been a little cooler at the door and clearly a lot more interesting to watch what was happening outside than inside.
