Dude Looks Like a Lady!

My poor kid!

Josh just spent the last week in New Jersey for work and his plane was due to land in Seattle at 9:30 last night. 9:30 is already way past Zane's bed time, but we were both so excited to see daddy that didn't matter; then Josh's plane kept getting delayed...

Zane and I headed over to Christina & Brooklyn's after work on Friday because they live right by the airport. This was to give us a shorter drive for when Josh's plane came in and also give us two of our favorite people to hang out with and kill time before our short ride to the airport. These plans to go hang out with them were made last minute while I was at work, so I had no "Zane supplies" with me (note to self...keep a diaper bag loaded in the car at all times). So I "borrowed" a couple diapers from daycare and off we went. Josh's plane finally was set to land at 11, now that was really past both Zane & I's bedtime. Brooklyn was nice enough to let Zane borrow a pair of her jammies and let Zane sleep on her Elmo couch until daddy's plane landed! Problem...Brooklyn is a girlie girl who has nothing but purple and pink in her wardrobe; see the result below!

Winding down before bed-time.

And he's out...

Domesticated.

Brooklyn & Zane playing "house" together. Looks like he's pretty comfortable in the kitchen!

My kitchen helper.

Zane is getting so into wanting to "help" me in the kitchen, its so fun...little messy, but lots of fun! Here he is helping me make brownies tonight.

Bouncy Place.

My good friend Christina is thinking about having her daughter's 2nd birthday party at The Bouncy Place so we took the kids there on Saturday to check it out and see if it was where she did indeed want to have the party. The place is really cool, probably 10 different bouncy "houses" to play in, some bigger than others. I think Zane is still a little too young/small for this place, he sort of got "lost" in the crowd of bigger kids and had more fun playing with a bouncy ball than anything else. He'd do better if it was rented out for Brooklyn's party and only 25 small kids were there I think. Anyway, he had fun nonetheless and I must admit, I had fun too! Its a lot more of a work-out than I had imagined though that is for sure!

Mastering the art of the fork.

Superbowl 2009!

Since our beloved Seahawks weren't able to make their way into the Superbowl this year, we decided to honor them by wearing our Seahawks gear anyway! The Wieser's came over today to keep us company watching the game. We had a lot of yummy food and had a great time watching the game. We decided to root for the Cardinals since we are all anti-Steelers fans! It was a close game and real "nail-biter" at the end, but still the Cardinals couldn't pull it off! Maybe next year the Hawks will make a come-back!

Miles and Zane "watching" the game!

My beautiful family!


My beautiful family last year watching the game (notice Zane has the same outfit on last year that Miles is wearing this year)! Ahh how much difference a year makes!

Not the baby.

Each time our friends Johnny, Emily & baby Miles come over Zane seems to regress back into "baby-land"!

He can't get enough of Miles' binky, so I always pull an old one out for him to play with while Miles is here, so they aren't sharing!


He sits in Miles' seat for long periods of time each time they come over, its so funny!
