Another Baby?

Apparently, mommy isn't the only one with a baby in her belly.

Just one of the things we do throughout our days together.

Don't Play with your Food?!

I don't know if this is more for the entertainment of me or the kids.

Lucas & Julie's Wedding Preparations

Kenzie received her first (well, second if you count what her sister did to her) haircut for the wedding.

Getting Ready

Practicing

This post is out of order, but it is Abigail practicing to be the "flowder girl."

Rehearsal Dinner

Rehearsal went off without a hitch. Then, it was off to the Tacoma Golf and Country Club for a wonderful dinner!

Julie's Bachelorette Party

We had a fabulous weekend celebrating Julie's upcoming wedding. This beautiful woman got married on July 23rd, and the weekend before, we (Julie, Jenn, Karen, and I) were able to spend an overnight in Seattle. We got into Seattle in the afternoon, checked in to the W hotel and went out shopping. After shopping, we got all dressed up and went to Benihana, where the food is prepared right in front of you. Next, we were off to the Melting Pot for dessert. After that and a quick bar run, we returned to the hotel for the opening of lingerie gifts and time hanging out. In the morning, it was off to Pike Place Market for coffee at the original Starbucks, breakfast at the french bakery and a bit of flower shopping. University Village for some more shopping was the next stop. Finally, we ended up kyaking on Lake Union. Such a fun weekend with such amazing women.

Michelle's Visit

My good friend, Michelle, was in town visiting from San Diego. She stayed with us for a few days, and we had a great time together. We laid low, mostly spending time at home, but it was just great to have her around. Not only was it fun to have someone to constantly hang out with and talk with, but she was so helpful with the girls and general house stuff, as I had a few events to plan for and a cake to make. The girls love her because she is so good with them and such a kid person. What fun to have her here!

Swim Lessons

We stayed the week in Bellevue so that Abigail could take swim lessons from the infamous, Suzie Gravrock. Abigail loved every minute of it. She was jumping off the diving board the first day with no hesitation. This is the first step to becoming a swimmer.
