Our little Rock Star! Why do batteries have to last soooo long! The barbie guitar is driving us nuts! But, man is she cute when she wants to rock out!
Little O gets a lift from her Papa while we waited for the ferry in Seattle. She had a great time on our weekend away! (well, except for sleeping at night! ugh!) She loves the water and being around it. (unfortunately) She has no fear of water!
"C" may be for Cookie - but it is also for CUTE! Here is princess O in her FAVORITE Cookie Monster shirt! She took a short break from beachcombing to look super cute!
The great hubby took this one! This one gives me nightmares! Little O was playing in the Teanaway river - which was about 5 inches deep or so where she was walking. I swear he took this picture literally the second she slipped. The river was sort of deceiving with sand stone in areas - and there was a small groove where she slipped and literally went under and the current took her about 3 feet before I could grab her. Luckily I was only a few feet from her when it happened - then I slipped as well and went down - so we were both drenched! You would think that it was scare her..... NOPE - she wanted right back in!
Little J and his gal-pal Abigail playing in the Teanaway!Alex, Jason, Olya and I on the ferry, Puyallup. We were heading to Bainbridge Island. It was Little O's very first ferry ride - as usual she did awesome! No fear whatsoever! She actually likes the feeling of the wind whipping thru her hair!
We went to John Wayne Beach in Sequim. The boys were hunting for little crabs under the rocks. Of course, Little O had to be right in there! Little J, our future "Jeff Corwin" was all over the place hunting down creatures! Big Al was not as excited after he kept getting pinched... he liked to find them, and yell to his brother to come get them! 
It's really hard to see in the picture, but she is holding a little tiny crab.. she enjoyed carrying them around in her hands, until she got pinched! She really loved going to the beach!
Just a quickie update....
Big Al and Little J are doing really well! It's hard to believe that they will be in 4th and 2nd grade in two weeks! AMAZING how time flies! It amazes me that they are actually growing up! Though I know that they will miss some of the carefree summer playtime - I know that I won't miss them while they are at school! haha! In many ways I wish we had year round school here! 3 months off is just toooo long! Soccer will be starting in about 2 weeks as well - which means we will be extremely busy until November! Labor Day weekend, the boys will be exhibiting some stuff at the fair, and of course spending their hard earned chore money on games and rides and lots of fair food - and getting to spend that time with their Nana and Grandpa and uncle Steve!
Little O had her final post-op hearing test. Looks like the tubes are working and she has on track ear development. So that is a really good sign! All we need now is the speech help! She has grown leaps and bounds! She is so spoiled as well! Everyone who meets her, just loves her! She is still very much addicted to her Sesame Street pals - which is better than some of the alternatives!
Jen H - we gotta get O and Zoey together somehow! Get me dates of that Texas reunion, who knows! Jenn T - thanks for the comment cous - but I need your email address, the old one does not work!
Hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their summer!
