Avocado Face and the flight home...

Avocado face...... there is nothing cuter. This morning Grandma Cathy happily feed and kept feeding Bryce avocado. She just kept wanting more, until a 1/2 of it was gone, including the little bit in her hair (that has to be good for something).

Unfortunately, our vacation to Tacoma has to come to an end today. We are so sad and don't want it to end but, we know that we have to go home to have another one very soon (next week)(yahoo). Thank you Dad and Cat for the wonderful time. We love you!!!

Bryce met a very friendly little girl in the airport tonight as we waited for our flight. Her name was Lily and she and Bryce enjoyed a few minutes together playing with puppy dogs and a ball. It was so cute to watch them interact.

These are a few pictures from our flight tonight. The sunset was BEAUTIFUL!!!

A Beautiful Nursery

Today we went to a breathe taking place in Woodinville. It was the most beautiful nursery,cafe' and gift shop all under one roof. We started with lunch in the cafe' and it was unbelievable. Bryce made many friends during lunch. She always seems to make a new friend wherever we go. I love that about her.

After lunch we went and looked at all the fun stuff in the gift shop where I found a few fun treasures. Then it was off to the flowers, oh how I wish my yard was bigger and it didn't include 2 big (ruin everything) dogs. I love flowers.....

We love the sun...

The sun was out again today and of course we RAN outside. Bryce was very curious and had to check out all of the beautiful things in the yard.

The steps where not a challenge for this little climber. I can't believe all of the bruises on Brycie's legs, but she is unstoppable and loves a good challenge.

We took a little stroll down the block....we all soaked up the SUNSHINE- and Bryce found rocks.

Bryce continued to enjoy the sunshine outside this afternoon on the deck.

Bryce was very spoiled with so many hugs and kisses before bed each night that is for sure. I am so positive that she loved each and every moment of it as well as Wampa and Wamma.

Play Time

Today we were going to meet Grandpa for lunch at Jasmine's Magnolia Grill, but he had to take care of some very important matters at work. But let me tell you, we enjoyed our lunch so much even though we missed him. What a great place, you go through and put what you want in a bowl (meat, veggies, sauces) and then take it to the grill and they cook it for you. SOOOO GOOOD!!! I want to find a place like that around here.

Bryce needed to get her "wiggles" out today with being cooped up for so many days so we took her to the mall play area. At first she just wanted to watch all the kids, but then she was very excited to join in. We were not there long though...there were a few very rough children and well I am a protective Mom.

We then cruised through the little mall and made are way to the car to go to another mall that was much bigger. I know what you are saying, but the mall we started at was "little" and I was looking for a new pair of boots...so off we went.

Bryce experienced her first motorized ride on toy....she hated it. Can you say death grip...I ended up taking her off of it before the ride ended. Before that we tried to put her on the carousel....not going to happen. I know that it's because she is afraid of loud noise do to the vacuum and well, that is another story.

Tonight this is what the sky looked like from the deck ....SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

Not so happy...

Bryce was just not herself today. I think that all of the fun is catching up with her. There is just so much to do and get into at Grandpa and Grandma's.

We went to a cute little town called Sumner today. It was one of those little towns that always make you feel at home. We had lunch in a great Italian Deli and then went shopping. Of course Bryce had to have something....the cutest pair of Red Mary-Jane's. I wish they had them in my size.

The Little Princess will be back to herself after her nap....I hope.

My Birthday

Today is My 34th Birthday!!! When I was younger I thought that "34" sounded so old but, now that I am here...- I feel so young. I know that I have my daughter to thank for that. This afternoon I decided that I wanted to go out for lunch, I was craving a Shrimp cocktail, so we loaded Grandma and Bryce into the car and went to a wonderful place called Salty's. With a beautiful view and a Shrimp cocktail...I was so happy. Bryce was so excited that they had crayons...she loves to color. We missed having Grandpa Ken there though, but we understand.





Bryce was introduced to many first on our trip so far... this was one of them. She was watching very closely as Grandma Cathy dipped her fries. Well she decided that she wanted to do the same. So with the help of Grandma, Bryce proceeded to dip. It was so cute to watch, the only thing was that Bryce didn't want to eat the french fry. How funny!!!

My Little Family that I love beyond words...I am so blessed with each moment of them.

My cake at "Salty's"..yummy yummy!!!

Bryce was very busy tonight. She helped Grandma Cathy make a very yummy German Chocolate cake from scratch. Of course she made time for a few minutes of cuddling with Grandpa before she helped me open my presents. What a very busy little thing...I am so amazed at all the energy she has even when she has not slept well.

Thank you Dad and Cat for all the wonderful gifts, you really didn't have to do that. I know Dad, you wanted too.

Also, Thank you Alan and Brycie for making my Birthday so special too.

I love you all!!!

Blue Skies

When we woke this morning we were over joyed with BLUE skies....YEAH!!! I was so happy to be able to bundle up Bryce and let her go outside.

This afternoon we took at trip to Pike's market. I love that place. I sure wish there was something like this at home. But I guess that is what makes this so special too, you have to travel to get there. We bought Sea Bass and BIG Shrimp for dinner tomorrow, when I turn the big "34". The perfect meal in my book that is for sure.

Bryce really enjoyed looking at all there was to see at the market. We saw everything you could imagine. What a great way to spend a SUNNY afternoon in Seattle.

There is no way better to enjoy dinner than with yummy food, good people and a view. Bryce enjoyed her dinner on the deck tonight. What a great treat with the great weather even though she had to be bundled up.
