Special Olympics Fundraiser

Last night our family went to dinner at Joeseppi's in Tacoma. All proceeds of the night went to support Special Olympics of WA. My bother-in-law Dustin has been an active participant in Special Olympics for many years, so we were really excited to support his activities! My father-in-law is also one of the coaches for Dustin's basketball team - he and several other coaches helped bus tables during dinner - great job Mark! It was a wonderful evening out, spent with our family, raising money for an awesome group!

Playdate at the park!

Today Brittney and I took the kids (including Oly of course), to the park! It was a nice day - dry but cool. We had a short walk there, enjoyed lunch, and then the kids had a great time playing on all the toys!

Swing, swing, swing! They both got so excited - were kicking their feet with joy!

Sweet Tali - she loved the swing!

Its just so much fun having the kids so close in age - 7 weeks apart. I feel very blessed to have such dear friends so close to us! We love you Linn family!

Happy 10 Months Brooks!

Brooks turned 10 months old today! I cannot believe how incredibly fast this year has gone. We had a fun play-date with Auntie Britt and Tali - we went to the Hands on Children's Museum in downtown Olympia. We all had a great time exploring and playing together!

Playing!

Brooks got a really neat tent and tunnel play set from Grandma & Grandpa Adair. We got it all set up today ~ the whole family enjoyed crawling around in it - even Oly!

Trip to the snow!

We rented a house for a few days up in Cle Elum, WA. It was so fun playing in the snow with Brooks and Oly - although Brooks wasn't quite sure about it all - was very curious about all the white stuff. We had a relaxing mini family vacation out in the woods!

Christmas!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas, that went by WAY too fast! Brooks had a great time tearing into packages - really loved the paper! Several days were spent with all our family - eating, drinking and laughing. This by far was the best Christmas!
