~Ferry ride to Herron~

In taking pictures of homes for Josh, Eme and I have been on several fun little adventures!  This one was quite entertaining... we took a ferry to a small island off of Lakebay, and the ferry only held ELEVEN cars!  We also received an escort to the home and back off the island by one of the locals.  But in waiting for the ferry, we had fun finding clams and checking out the water!

~Valentine's Day~

Every year for Valentine's Day Josh and I stay home, make a big home made dinner together and watch a movie. This year was no different. We lit candles, had fresh salmon and garlic mashed potatoes (I had NOTHING to do with dinner this year, and it was fantastic!!) and after dinner Josh Eme and I snuggled onto our bed and watched the movie Valentine's Day. For those of you who haven't seen it, you should, it's really cute! It felt so good to be with the 2 I love the most, laughing and playing and making memories. Eme even dressed up for her daddy! :-)

~A Very Merry Un-Birthday~

I had always found it cool how people celebrated 1/2 birthdays. Nothing too major, but family and cake. So, we started it right off the block with Emerson. She put on her party skirt (one that promptly got washed and packed away for her cousin Kennedy) and I made her a triple layer cake. I had fun with white cake mix and food coloring. :-) She thought it was pretty fancy that she was just able to dive into the cake, and eat all the frosting she could manage!

~Ferry rides~

Eme and I went out to Vashon Island for the morning, and Eme got her first experience on a ferry. It was super cold so we didn't stay outside long, but managed to find a couple Australian women to take our picture. They kept talking to her and she just stared at them in disbelief! Their accents caught her off guard! Haha!

~Kennedy's dedication~

On Sunday January 29, sweet Kennedy Marie got dedicated to the Lord. It was great to see DJ and Robyn taking Kennedy's spiritual well being so seriously. We had a great lunch after church at a Woodenville Brewery (I cant remember the name) and got in a bit of family time before leaving for Oahu the next day.

~Grocery carts~

Well isn't she fancy?? She felt like a million bucks getting to ride in this cart like a big girl. Every person that walked by her she watched... making sure they say her sitting up like that. It was hysterical!

~Fun family photos~

After the huge snow, we decided to take advantage of the gorgeous winter day and get some fun family pictures. I'm bummed we didn't get any of all 3 of us, but these turned out pretty cute!
