Special Times with Grandma & Grandpa - Part I

We're fortunate that my parents live close by so Izzy gets to spend every other Friday with them. They do all sorts of fun activities - ride the bus to Downtown, work in the garden, etc. She has a blast with them - and they love their "Izzy Fridays"! Thanks Mom & Dad for everything - Izzy loves you (and we do too)!!

Last weekend Izzy & I met-up with Grandma & Grandpa at the Olympic Sculpture Park's Wild Flower Children's Day. We had a picnic in the park and Izzy got to do some fun activities (coloring, face painting, and more!). Here are a few photos:


Special Time with Grandma & Grandpa - Part II

In May Izzy, Grandma & Grandpa went to see Sesame Street Live at the Comcast Arena in Everett. Izzy loves Elmo, Abby, and the rest of the Sesame Street gang so it was a special treat for her. As you can see, Grandma & Grandpa had fun too! One cool thing that the City of Everett did was to temporarily re-name Hewitt Avenue to Sesame Street.

When are you going to update the blog???

I know, I know... it's been over a month since I updated the blog, so here's a recap of what we've been up to:

On May 8th Gerald and I headed downtown for the annual Celebrate Swedish Auction. Izzy spent the night with my sisters so we could stay overnight at the Sheraton. We had a great time and it was nice to sleep in on Mother's Day!But, before it was time for Gerald and me to leave, Izzy and I went downtown to her KinderMusik class and afterwards stopped at The Pike Place Market to get her aunties some thank you flowers. Before we got the flowers, we just had to stop for a "special treat" - fresh donuts! It was a fun morning...


The week following Mother's Day I was working hard on special albums for my Mom & Gerald's Mom for late Mother's Day gifts. Photos of Izzy at work in the garden - of course. I love how they turned out...

May 15th was Izzy's last KinderMusik class - yippee!! I know Izzy had fun, but it was quite a commitment to head downtown every Saturday morning - it pretty much wiped out our Saturday plans so it's nice to be done for awhile. On May 16th we headed over to Bremerton for a post-Mother's Day gathering. It was a fun day - pictures to follow in another posting...
