I've Been There....

Yes, I've been.... there. I'll tell you where in a minute. First you have to suffer through all the shctuff we have been up too lately! he he. Don't worry I'l be brief and let the pictures do the talking!

We had our family pictures taken a few weeks back. Brock and Tim had matching shirts, but Tim thought it was a good idea to give Brock a Hot Tamale candy right as we were stepping out the door. Ya it took all of 3 seconds before Brock had red droole all down he shirt.

This is about the only good family picture we got. After 3 hours of church and no nap, Brock was not in the mood.

This one is cute though!

We did get a ton of cute ones of me and Tim, which is nice as we never have pictures of us!
Brock's newest thing is trains. He just loves this train set from Ikea!
For memorial Day, we uh..."celebrated" by having a picnic in our living room. Not quit 4-wheeling in Mink Creek, but Tim had a final the next day and couldn't do anything more fun. Brock had a hoot though.
No better way to eat chips then with a fork!
Here is Brock in the morning, He loves to strip before he goes to sleep, the goof.
This weekend we took a last minute trip to the Olympic Peninsula. It was so much fun. I only wish we would have had more time to play. I really want to go back again. We'll see if I can talk Tim into before we leave!

Here we are at the Dungeness Sand Spit. The longest Natural Spit in the PNW. All of our friends just raved about it so we had to check it out. It was so foggy though, I couldn't see for more that a few hundred yards into the ocean. I kept expecting the Black Pearl to come out!
Brock loved the waves. He had fun walking the beach and throwing rocks with Tim.
On our hike back we spotted this deer, right off the trail. Brock is too interested with the deer to look at me!
Ok, sorry to all you hard core sand spit lovers, but Tim and I were a little bit let down. We went to Realto Beach in La Push (i think you may have heard of La Push) afterwards, and it was SO MUCH COOLER! We wish we would have hung out there all day. Here are some awesome pictures taken from the Beach.

{up the beach there is First Beach and the cliffs made famous by Twilight)

{here is Azkaban.... according to Tim}

Brock loves the waves. He liked to go to the edge and then let the Foam "chase" him. In fact we both got caught and got our shoes wet and full of sand. Oh well!
Big drift wood! The drift wood was amazing on the beach! I could have played all day!
Some one (not me!!!) had put this in the sand. I was tempted to cross it out and write Edward, but though better of it, after all, we were in wolf territory!

Tim climbed up a little hill. Can you see me and Brock down there?
And {drum roll please} I made Tim drive me into Forks. And it was..... disappointing? It is really just a dumpy little town with way to much Twilight pride. Seriously, there were posters everywhere. Even a few shops dedicated to Twilight memorabilia. I considered becoming "team Jacob" just because La Push is so beautiful and much cooler that Forks. But, I didn't ;) But here is the sign to prove it. I was going to get out of the car and stand by the sign. But, due to Tim's immense teasing, and my own embarrassment, I decided not to. BUT, I have still been there!

All in all our weekend was pretty fun. I really want to go back and just stay on the beach. The Olympic Peninsula is a BEAUTIFUL place, and if any of our WA friends haven't been there yet, GO! Skip the spit though and head straight for the beaches at La Push! :)

This one's for the Grandparents!

When it rains it Pours, and well, I do live in Seattle! Lots to catch up on. We have been a house of sicky's lately. It seems that Brock and I just switch off on when to be sick. He had a cough last week and now I have a cough, sore throat etc. No fun. Last weekend when we were both feeling ok we did sneak in a little hike. It was lots of fun, until I walked into Stinging Nettle. OUCH! If you have never felt stinging Nettle, it literally feels like something bites you! It really, really hurts! And my legs were stinging and tingly all night long. Not fun at all.

We took Brock to the Dr. the other day for a well baby check up. According to Tim, the nurse who was administering the shots was moving so fast the needles were flying all over the place (I wasn't there). Needless to say, she poked herself. They made Tim wait an extra 45 mins because they wanted to draw blood from Brock to make sure he didn't have HIV or something (seriously?). But, they finally sent him home. Well, later that week I get a call from the social worker at the medical center saying the nurse was freaking out and if we didn't go in, they would get a court ordered blood test. Ridiculous. So I had to take poor Brock in for a blood draw. :( He did rather well, but it still broke my heart.

Ok on to the pictures, Brock has turned into quite the little stripper as of late. He Loves to take his clothes off. Especially at night or during naps. This is what we find all the time~

Luckily he hasn't figured out how to wiggle out of his diaper yet. I do not want a "Poo-caso" on my hands!

This is just a cute picture!~

Ok and here are a bunch of recent scrapbook LO's~

Here is Amy and Brian when they visited Seattle!
Brock and Owen are such great friends! We are going to miss them when they move

Here are a few of my sweet little Danika. I can't wait to see her and the rest of the Hamilton's. If I am not mistaken, they owe me about 100 hours of babysitting, so I am looking forward to that... { :D }

And here is little Brock. Awwww

Here are a few things Brock has been doing lately, he now loves trains. I bought him a little train set at Ikea and it is his new favorite thing. He loves his "Choo choo" as he calls them. He is talking up a storm. Some of our favorites include ~ "Go get it!" "Night night" "kisses" "jesus" "juice" "snack" and many others. He is always talking, I just can't understand him half the time! He has also became very affectionate. He was always a snuggler, but he now loves to give kisses. Grandparents be warned: Brock loves to give open mouth, wet, slobbery kisses. (Probably why I always get sick from him). I just can't turn him away though because he is always so proud of himself! Just a little warning!
