Another Saturday of ball!

Today we started the day off at the park for the boys - they had team pictures then a game. Then it was off to the park for Dane's game - so it was a day full of playing in parks - or if your like Bailey - a day full of sand and dirt and worms ... her favorite things to play in and with!!!!

Trent looking so cool on the base!

A night out to the Mariners!!!

Wyatt and Trent were each given 2 tickets to a night game to see the Mariners (thanks to their friend Grace and her parents!), so Chris and I took the boys. It was our first game this year, and we had a great time! We wound up leaving before the game ended (sadly, the Mariners did NOT win ...) because it was so late (as seen by a sleeping Trent on the way home), but the four of us had so much fun, and we were very grateful for the tickets!!!

Bailey, with a little more ice cream on her face than in her tummy!

Trying to get the boys to take a normal "smile!" picture is almost impossible! There is always a silly face and/or bunny ears!!!

Silly Trent!!!

Time to hold Faith!!!

Today we went over to spend some time with KC, Mandy, Isaiah and little Faith. Todd and Stacy were over with Bailie and Abby as well. It was a fun day to spend time with family, and wonderful to hold little Faith again!

Today is also the one year anniversary of my sister Caitlins death. Its amazing a year has gone by already ... I see reminders of Caitlin in our little Bailey everyday.

A little bit of sun means time to slather on the sunscreen!

Sweet Bailey!

Chris and I got to go away to Arizona!!!!

Chris and I were able to head off to sunny Arizona for a week, with no kids! We went to do a family workshop at a wonderful place called The Meadows, along with his Mom, his step-dad, and his two sisters. It was a lot of work, a lot of learning, and all around pretty incredible. Just a chance to get away for a little bit was wonderful. And all three kids had my dad (Grandpa Arr) and Shelley come stay with them, along with my sister (Aunt Jenna). This is me at 4am waiting for our flight on to come back to Seattle.

Waiting for our shuttle from the car-rental place to the airport ... at about 4am
