happy 200th post!

it's been almost a month since i posted. it doesn't seem like that long! this is also my 200th post since i started this blog over 4 years ago. pretty cool if you ask me! i'm a good journal keeper!

first off, a few pictures i forgot to post from when tyler's dad was in town. we drove up to a waterfall (palouse waterfall) while he was here for the weekend. it was so pretty. and SO random. in the middle of no where!

tyler's dad and my three older kids- macey, isaac, and cameron

grandpa dansie and macey

this is from mine and tyler's trip to seattle... but i didn't want to move the picture to where it should be. tyler had a continuing education course on "wound care" in seattle last weekend... my mom flew up to watch our three older kids and we brought avery along with us.

being the health food nut that i am, i looked up a "raw food restaurant" in seattle and the surrounding area before we even left home. i found an organic vegetarian cafe that had several "raw" dishes. i was SO excited to try it. poor tyler came along for the ride! the cafe was cozy and cute and the food was delish! (tyler thought it was good). we even got a raw brownie for dessert that was even better than the ones i make!

miss avery was SO fussy at the cafe. tyler even had to take her outside since she was screaming her brains out. she is used to being at home for her naps and not out running around.

back to at home... macey has some awesome bed-head after her naps!

avery at 3 months

macey holding avery's hand

not a fan of "tummy time"

this lady is such a good and loving big sister. i love watching her with avery.

story time before bed

i'm sure all dad's do cute things on valentines day. but when i woke up valentines morning to make tyler breakfast, my heart melted at this "display."

"macey, will you be my valentine? daddy"

"avery, be mine. dad"

my hand-made card with little heart flaps that have reasons he loves me on them. so cute!

miss avery (aka: lucy, lou, lucinda, ave, lou-lou)

macey burping avery

avery is getting chubby. i took her to the naturepath for her yeast infection she has had for MONTHS... finally someone that tells me something other than "keep putting monistat and cortizone cream on it." she weighed 11 lbs 12 ounces and is 23 inches long as of a week ago.

the kids were playing while i was making dinner one night... i heard isaac say to cameron, "cam. i can bless you." i peeked around the corner to see this. i almost peed my pants. so cute!

such a cute mommy

isaac- 4, macey- 2, avery- 3 months

macey- 2, isaac- 4, avery- 3 months, cameron- 6

love these little babies

story time before bed

macey was such a troublemaker one day and when i was distracted, got into my makeup. mascara and lipgloss. little punk!

back to our seattle trip- tyler and avery in the backseat after a diaper change

so fun! wish we had more time here!

it was freezing and snowing out! but we didn't want to miss pike's market. so i made tyler wear avery under his coat, with a blanket inside too. haha. come to think of it, he got a lot of weird looks!

had to see the ocean... even if it was -20 outside

our drive home through the snoqualmie pass= NOT FUN! (yes i had to look up how to spell that)

my mom is the BEST for coming up to babysit so tyler and i could get away for the weekend (even if we had a 3 month old with us). we want to go back to seattle next time without a baby!

macey after her nap... ummm... she stole one of avery's binki's without me knowing. she also had another one under her tummy.

after nap bed-head

i asked her to go get her shoes and socks on this morning to go out and do her running in the backyard. she came out like this and i had to snap a picture. love this girl!
