We had a fabulous time celebrating Lindsey's 8th birthday, witnessing her get baptized and spending time with all four grandparents! We loved all of it, and the word that comes to mind to describe our time with our parents and grandparents is "joyful." We loved it!
Can't believe this little lady isn't so little any more!
My favorite part of birthdays at our house is watching the kids open presents from their siblings. They are always so thoughtful and excited to see what awesome dollar store finds were found!
Then a couple of days later Justin's parents arrived. It was especially sweet to get to spend time with them because Justin's Dad had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, so it was very special for us to have them travel up to spend time with us in our home.
I'm pretty sure Weston loved Grandma Maner holding him!
And of course Grandpa Maner loved getting to hold his newest grandson
We had such a fun time.....and soon my parents arrived the next day
Brandon loved challenging everyone to a game of PIG
And we went to the Ballard Locks up in Seattle to watch the boats pass through
Love these baby blues!
Going over the little dam to the salmon ladder
Love these people!
And we finished off the outing with trip to Chinooks's. Best fish and chips ever! And a beautiful view of the fisherman's terminal
We had some Dalmuti fun
Lovely!
And then we enjoyed a beautiful baptism
What a special little girl!
And here is the baptism girl and the baby blessing boy!
Proud grandparents
I think Weston likes sitting on his grandpa's lap!
And the other proud grandparents
We sure love this little man!
And here is a game of uno attack!
Not pictured is all of the talking we did, the good food we ate, and the late night Rook tournament we enjoyed with all of our parents until 1:00 am! The Maners left on Monday and we sure enjoyed spending time with them!
We got to spend a couple more days with the Smiths and we had a lot of fun!
Here's Grandpa and Brandon looking at things with his microscope
We had a fun time at the Museum of Flight!
Here's my mom showing off the last Air Force 1 before it was retired. Very fun to go inside!
And of course we ended things with an epic twister tournament.
Here's my favorite sequence....
Okay so far......
Getting uncomfortable.....
And down everyone goes!
We loved our time with family and celebrating two important milestones for our kids. We love Grandmas and Grandpas! Come back and visit again!
