Mt Rainier

We decided, what the heck, let's take the new car to Rainier, and we'll meet up with Kevin and Jessica. Old (and a new) friends for a hike, and we'll time it for their naps.

If you have kids, you know that timing naps is impossible. Made more impossible the more you need the naps to coordinate.

A nice fall day, 75degrees, what a day.

Paradise Inn, just in front of Mt Rainier

That was a long hike mommy, I am going to take a nap, make sure Lu doesn't see me sleeping.

If I can sneak up on Q, I can just say: "wakeup wakeup wakup wakup"

WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP WAKEUP Q!

Daddy, she always does that. You were on watch! F for effort daddy, I need my beauty sleep.

Q on the back of Kevin, with wife Jessica, in for a quick visit. Kevin went to high school with uncle Michael, and met his wife in college. I was looking for the whistling Marmot who was trying to eat my gawk.

Daddy I can climb too.

Pass the chalk, I'm going need it for this crack. I am bouldering at age 2.

Mommy I love you, now give me some milk before Lucy knocks over more rock piles.

HMMM, now how can we get Michael John out here. Huddle up and let's make a plan.

Jessica, you blindfold Michael and Kevin can kidnap him to the airport. perfect.

See you all soon over thanksgiving!!

Q in Sun Valley

Hey, the Dishwashing Monster, run!!!!!!!
Thanks Mike and Andy

swimming in Q's bed

Lucy goes for the pin at the end, mom to the rescue!

Tackle

Lucy and Quinn's Videos all have full contact at the end of them. Why? Is Lucy's timing impeccable? Well, no, it's usually because a fall is imminent causing us to drop the camera. This one is no exception, except Walt is there to prevent the sack and possible fumble.

Look at Q's face right before the tackle - priceless.

Sumersaults

Faceplant at the end.

Lu is 2!!

Cleaning Lady

I've hired a great one, she loves to clean the floor.......only with a Swifter, and has her own little apron. Only thing is, she doesn't like to have her picture taken while she is working. Wonder if she does toilets and windows?

Hi!

Quinn wanted to say hello. Can't you just hear his laughter though the photo?

Bowling

Hanging at the lanes with my pal Tilden.

Watching the ball roll slowly down the lane.

10 minutes later it made it to the pins, thanks to the bumpers.

Hair

Do you like me as a blonde?

Lucy's first haircut. Only the best stylist will do for her locks. Thanks Nicole!

She held very still and got a cute little bang trim.

Have a GREAT weekend!
