Memorial Day Weekend 2009 - Leavenworth, WA

Posted by Jill Rule Categories:
We decided to head over to Leavenworth, WA for the Sunday/Monday of Memorial Day weekend.  We had a lot of fun just walking around and enjoying our time together.  Although it was a short trip, it was a perfect get-away.  We also finally got a new point and shoot camera!  These pictures were all taken with the new little guy.  We're still trying to figure out how to optimize picture quality.
 
 
 
 
 
 
Walking back to the hotel Sunday evening...it was HOT out!
 
Some fun in the hat/glasses store....
 
 
 
 
 
 
No picture of Ethan in the hat shop...he simply refused to put on any fun hats or glasses...party pooper! 
 
But give him a stick and he's all up for a photo opp.  Here he is being a ninja, or something like that...
 
 
 
The flowers were everywhere and oh so beautiful..
 
 
 
Kayleen payed for her own rock climbing adventure.
 
 
 
Finally, time to cool off!
 
 
 
 
 
The kids crashed hard Sunday evening.  :-)  
 
 
 
More pictures are posted on Jill's Facebook account...

Water Fun and a Birthday

Although the warm weather is sporadic at best, we're enjoying every ray of sunshine we can soak in.  Here are a few pictures from one of the nicer days a few weeks ago.
 
Sprinkler Fun
 
 
 
 
 
Pure Trouble!
 
The tune from any random 70's drama runs through my mind for this next shot...something like "Boom-chicka-wow-wow".  Something is not right here......
 
 
Turns out Kayleen "double dog dared" Ethan to put a mouthfull of our driveway gravel in his mouth.  And...he did it.  Nice.
 
And here's more sibling love...
 
 
 
 
 
KAYLEEN TURNS 9!
 
This last Wednesday, MAY 6TH, we had a birthday in the family.  Our sweet baby girl turned 9 years old!  The time has truely flow by.  These are a few pictures from the day.  More pictures of her actual "friends" birthday party to be posted later...as the party is today!
 
 
Big kids bike!
 
 
Webkinz, a 9 year olds staple.
 
 
And no girl's birthday is complete without neon nailpolish...right????
