Eating lunch at the Country Club

Kyle, Tessa and I ate lunch today with Kyle's Grandma. The food at the club is amazing! Tessa looked so big in the booster chair.

And the views are beautiful!

Finally! A day without rain!

It rains ALOT in Washington. And the last couple times we have been here its been rainy and pretty chilly outside. Today was beautiful! Tessa loved getting out and playing on the grass.

The dogs

Tessa loves Grandma and Grandpa's dogs.
She will chase them around the house until they look like this....

After a day of playing the dogs are so exhausted!

And this is just a cute pic!

Point Defiance Zoo

We spent the day at the Zoo! Its so fun to see Tessa's face when she sees all the animals and fish. This zoo is so beautiful!



A little snack as we walk


The walrus came to give Tessa kisses! it was so funny! He was 3300 LBS!! Just HUGE!

We fed the goats in the Kids part of the zoo. Tessa got a kick out of it.

She absolutly LOVES fish! (and sharks)


Very tired after a fun and exciting day!

A Very Special Valentines!

So, a couple weeks ago Kyle's parents asked us to come up to Washington to house sit and babysit dogs while they went out of town for a few days. On Feb 13th, they babysat Tessa while Kyle and I spent the night in Seattle. We had a nice hotel room that over looked Lake Union.

We got to watch sea planes take off and land all day.

After we checked in to our hotel and got ready for the night we went to the most amazing sea food resturaunt called Salty's. We stuffed our faces with crab and salmon stuffed with crab. holy smokes...it was GOOOOD!

This was the view from our table. BREATH TAKING!

The next day we went on a 2 hour bout tour of Seattle. It was so interesting. I have WAY to many pictures to post..but here are a few highlights of the tour.

Us right before the boat took off...

This home is a FLOATING home! It has nothing under it but water. There was about 300 homes out there this way. This was one of the biggest ones out there. It was worth about 6.8 million! plus you had to pay for the water the house is on which is $600,000! Kinda crazy!

This is Bill Gates home. This picture really does not do this home justice! its HUGE and beautiful!

This home was BUILT into the hill. pretty cool.

Me and my hunnie!

The CEO of Starbucks home.

~Beautiful views~

Those that know me well know that I am TERRIFIED of bridges! We had to go under like 8 of them! Some of them were pretty cool looking though, and some were just plain big and scary!

Even though I missed my Tessa like crazy, it was nice to spend valentines day with my best friend. Love you Kyle!

Box's are fun!

Give her a empty box and she will have fun for hours!

Her new favorite places

Tessa is starting to explore the home more and more. Every week she picks different places she likes to play and hang out. Her new places are under our living room table and in the front window.

Yummy food!!

Tessa loves to eat by herself. We set her in her bumbo and she feeds herself very well. She gets a little, well VERY messy but she gets the job done.

Pancakes and eggs

Yummy doughnuts

Sticky suckers!
