2nd Annual Little Monster Mash!!

It's that time of year again... the Monster Mash was a huge success!! Thanks to the Volk's for hosting! Miss Maggie... or should I say Princess Maggie went as Snow White... she loved being a princess.

Here is the Princess with her BFF Sydney the Giraffe! It's so fun to watch these girls together... they have swim lessons together on Saturdays at the YMCA and soon we will be starting Tumbling classes.

Here are most of the kids... I believe we are missing Lilly (of the kids that were there) and Logan and Olivia out of the whole class. If you remember last year we had to hold them because they kept moving around like crazy.

Time flies!! Really I can't believe this is already the 2nd Halloween party we have for these kiddos!!

Off to see the Hudson's!

Paul and David got to go watch the Oregon State Beavers (David's team) play the University of Washington Huskies (Paul's team) last Saturday. So, we made a day trip of it.


We go to meet Baby Max. He is precious.

Maggie loved him, and was so concerned with him anytime that he fussed.

Maggie and Russell were happy to see each other.

Our handsome Godson Russell... he is such a great kid.

Maggie all bundled up to go play with the boys.

Russell and Maggie looking in the fountain.

For being such a girlie girl, she really can hold her own with the boys.

She discovered the joy of Nerf guns.

I (accidentally) caught a smile!

Russell LOVES to wrestle... and Maggie had fun too. She didn't cry once!

Here she is counting Noah out. :)

Cheesy smile and Nerf goggles, what more does a girl need???

Videos of Maggie with the boys:

Pike Street Market

My favorite part about a visit to Seattle. The Market! You know David and I have been down to the Market more times than I can count and this is the first time we take a picture down there!

My Mom and Dad, it was such a great weekend with them.

Maggie was on cloud nine with her Toto's (abuelitos).

At the Brewery with my parents.


Maggie telling us jokes:

Rainforrest Cafe

We went to the Rainforest Cafe while we were in Seattle. We though Maggie would enjoy it. Boy were we wrong! It can be easy to forget she is only a 1 year old... she didn't quite like the thunderstorms every 30 minutes and the Elephants we were sitting next to. (They came to life every 15 minutes)...

David and I enjoying the day with my parents and Maggie.

I got up and took a few pictures of the restaurant.

The Gorillas came to lief every 15 minutes too..

Monkeying around.

the Elephants that scared Maggie. She would yell at them to go night-night when they came to life. haha.

Seattle Aquarium

During our trip to Seattle we got to go to the Seattle Aquarium, it was so cool.

Maggie really enjoyed touching (poking) the star fish and sea anemones.

Not quite as tall as the Shark!

David is half way there...

Ahhhh!! the Octopus got us! :)

Nemo was there!

So was Dori!

We had so much fun at the Aquarium!

Fun at the Park

On our way from the Farmer's Market to the park, Maggie got her face painted at the Market... and she loved it.

We met up with Maggie's friends Sydney and Kate at the park for a fun picnic. (their parents were there too)

Maggie was so brave going down the slide by herself!

Sydney and Maggie are so sweet together.

Maggie's BFF Sydney in a tube. :)

The Daddies and their little girls, too cute for words.
