Big Boy Beds!

Over the past few weeks, Benny had been coming into our room at night complaining that he hurt his leg or had a bad dream. We thought it might be that he had out grown his toddler bed, so we went out to find him a new bed. He is the proud owner of a twin mattress and box spring from the Old Cannery Warehouse. We then had to go buy some sheets for it. Benny chose a sports theme for his bed with matching red sheets (since red is his favorite color). Since Timmy turned two, we decided to put him in Benny's old toddler bed. So now each boy has a new bed.

Here is Timmy's new bed.

Benny's new bed!

Here is what their bedroom looks like now. Although there is usually a lot of books on the floor.

Seattle Aquarium

This is a juvenile Big Skate. It kept trying to climb the side of the tank. It looked like it wanted to walk.

Can you hear the ocean?

Okay, Grandpa, this is where we need to go!

Grandma and Benny surrounded by jellyfish.

Look mom, it is an octopus!

We had a great time exploring the Seattle Aquarium with Grandpa and Grandma.

Timmy's Birthday

Riding the Monorail in Seattle with Grandpa!

Timmy's favorite at the LeMay Car Museum.

Off to the South Hill Mall to play with Grandma and Grandpa!

Dinner at Dennys after we picked Grandma and Grandpa up at the airport. Grandpa is helping Benny with the word search puzzle on Benny's menu.

Timmy's Lightening McQueen cake I made for his birthday.

I cannot believe that my baby boy is two! Grandma and Grandpa Anderson came to help celebrate Timmy's birthday. We did many great things. We went into Seattle to ride the Monorail and visit the Aquarium. We went to the mall to play and visited the LeMay Car Museum.

Sunny Days

The sun has made an appearance the last few days and it has been warming up a bit. We ventured outside and took a walk. We stopped at the playground in our apartment complex. The boys sure had fun.

Silly Brothers!

Timmy is quite the climber!

Having fun!

After being cooped up inside due to the wet and cold weather, it was nice to go out and soak up the warm sun.

Fire Trucks

The MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group that I attend planned a trip to our local fire station. Here I am with Timmy. He didn't want to wear his hat, so I did.

Benny whined and complained until it was his turn to sit in the fire truck. He didn't want to smile, but you can see he was having fun. He kept saying that he was grumpy. I think he was coming down with brother's cold.

Here is Benny having fun at the fire station.

It was fun. We got to take a tour of the station and look at a ladder truck. I don't know about Benny, but I sure learned a lot about what goes on at a fire station. Plus, Benny and Timmy received new fire fighter hats!

Lazy Days!

A great way to start the day, playing Lego Indiana Jones on the Wii with dad!

Nap Time!

Snow and Ice

Well, we survived the Seattle "Snowmagedon" as they were calling it around here. Last week we had a very big snow event happen. All in all we ended up with about 6 to 8 inches of snow and then about an inch of ice on top of that. Thankfully we did not lose electricity in the apartment, but a lot of our friend did. Some of them went for days without power. It has pretty much all melted away now. Here are some pictures that I took over the course of the storm.

Here is the ice on the tree beside our deck.

We received about a 2 inches of snow on our deck.

The rest of the apartment complex.

Our neighbor across the way has a bird feeder so we have had some visitors on our deck.
