Sunday Morning Bike Rides

Every Sunday morning we take a bike ride to breakfast. B loves being on the front of the bike and on the way home usually falls asleep. We have ridden into Bellevue, Kirkland, Bothell and next week are going to ride to the Maltby Cafe. YUMMY

Our little nugget has grown up so much. We can't believe he will be 2 in a few months. His favorite words are "car" and "bus". We are always amazed when he busts out with new words. He is happily torturing our dog Jager by chasing him around and wanting to sit on him. They are buddies. We don't generally walk anywhere...we run. B even did a 5k with Steve and I in his stroller and then ran the last few blocks across the finish line. He loved all of the clapping and music. We have definitely hit tantrum 2 stage. It hasn't been horrible, lets hope it stays that way. :)

This kid is the love of our lives. He is so much fun.

Finally, a new post

We have moved into our new house and are loving the house and the area. We feel so close to everything that we are taking advantage of it. Brecken loves to walk around downtown Kirkland on Friday nights and have some yummy ice cream for dessert. He has finally decided he likes ice cream and he ate this entire bowl by himself. Thank goodness he did a lot of running around to get the sugar out of his system before bedtime.
We have also been hiking a lot this summer. Brecken walks about a mile before he wants into the backpack to take in the scenery. He is heavy but so happy in the backpack. It is a great workout for Steve and I.
Here are the boys on our Rattlesnake Ridge hike.

We are all moved in...

We have gotten all moved into our new house. All the pictures aren't hung and the decorations aren't all out but we are living here and so happy being in the house. Brecken took the move like a champ. He has loved the new house both inside and the yard. B's poor dog Jager took a little more time becoming comfortable in the house but seems to be getting a lot better.

Now that we are so close to Bothell, Woodinville and Juanita/Kirkland, every Sunday we ride our bikes somewhere new to breakfast. B loves being on the front of the bike. Last week he even fell asleep in his bike seat. :)

B has been talking up a storm. His favorite words right now are "car" and "up". He doesn't walk anywhere, he runs. It is so much fun chasing him around (most of the time). We took him hiking on Saturday and he walked a mile of the hike. He loves the outdoors.

Since it has been so long since the last blog, I have no idea what to write. Pictures and more coming soon.
