Two Weeks of fun and lots of pictures

As many of you know, we were blessed to have Rande home for 15 days. What an AMAZING time we had together as a family, and couple. The first few days we didn't really do much; Rande spent a day with each kid individually. The really loved their special time with Daddy. Cabela's, Legos, lunch, etc.

Rande and I went to the gym together almost everyday. Some of you might think..."the gym? really?". Well it's something we both love and have a passion for - so it was a lot of fun! We did go to breakfast one morning while both the kids were in school. It was honestly the little things we did that were most enjoyable.

I've posted ALL our pictures on our photography website (and facebook), but I can't neglect the blog....so here you go!

Halo time! Christian has been waiting for this moment for 7 months!

This place was sooo much fun! I felt like a kid again going down water slides. The kids were so fun to watch as well. They both went down their first water slides, and loved it. Well worth the trip!

Rande was really happy...just doesn't look like it in the pictureThey went down this slide I swear over 100 times

Huge bucket of water that dumped about every few minutes

God truly blessed us with amazing weather most of the time Rande was here. I think winter skipped Washington and Spring has come early...but that's ok with us! This is a (partial) view of Mt. Rainier from American Lake (here on Ft. Lewis). We actually took the kids on a bike ride, and went down to the playground on the lake. When we arrived, I saw the paddle boats and before you knew it we were out in the middle of the lake, enjoy the sun, and peaceful moment

Gotta look good when on the lake

Harlem Globetrotters. This was Rande's favorite event I think.

"Big Easy" and "Hang Time" were there (they were on the Amazing Race). Big Easy was hilarious!

last night story time with daddy

Christian stole Rande's cereal that morning. He has turned into a little prankster

My brother, and sister-in-law (and Nephew) drove all the way up from Corvallis, OR. to come see Rande. They were also gracious enough to watch the kids for us as we went out on a date. We had dinner at Stanley and Seaforts, and browsed around Barnes and Noble and had coffee. We then drove around the sound, which was gorgeous especially at night. What a perfect night with the perfect man. He truly is my best friend.
