april & spring break 
it has been a crap spring (actually a crap summer, fall, winter AND spring. i am so ready to move to california) with soooooo much rain. we have omld growing on our bodies at this point. but a couple weeks ago the sun made an appearance so i lined up my girls' pretty eggs and admired them in the sun for a second. 
i have also been baking a ton. what else is there to do when you are stuck inside?
picked out the baby's coming home outfit. white on white on white!
we were walking around this crappy indoor mall when tess spotted a pink bear pedicure chair. she waltzed right on in and sat down. she loved her first pedicure. it was the cutest thing ever. especially when she just stared at the lady during her massage. 
lets hope she's a little more gentle when the real, live baby is in the bassinet. 

tagg participated in his second pinewood derby. he ranked better this year and there were no tears so i would say it was a success! 
my mom finished the baby quilts. and i finished the baby's room, i mean closet. :) now we just wait to see which pretty quilt we get to use! 
when we had the latest ultrasound with the baby craig and i both thought it looked like a boy. but then i found this picture of tess when she was an hour old and they look like freaking twins. so who knows! four more weeks.....
we had to be (or got to be) very creative for this year's spring break because i couldnt travel since it was so close to my due date. that meant lots of quality park time. 
we went down to the fun center one day. tess tried the frog hopper for her second time and actually lasted the whole ride. 
ever since she watched beauty and the beast she looooooves anything to do with the movie and the characters. she saw this "castle" on the mini golf course and said "BEAST HOME!"
holy crap. when i noticed she was licking her finger (and not even using it!) to turn the pages on her "mermaid bathroom" book i was belly laughing. 

one day, we took the kids downtown. we walked around gasworks park in the sunshine. 

the boys rolled down this huge hill like five times. a couple days after this, sully had an allergist appointment and we found out he is super allergic to grass. so in hindsight, rolling down an enormous grass hill wasnt the best idea. :)
sunny seattle is the best. 
tagg and sully loved the fremont troll. tess wouldnt have anything to do with it "it's creepy!".

tagg and sully are having a great time with their piano lessons. sometimes their teacher sends me a video of them playing. here, sully is playing a duet with miss teddy and tagg is being insane in the background. 
34 week belly shot. 
we got a bunny! organic non gmo cotton ball smith. and he is sooo cute and friendly.
i made cinnamon and sugar baked donuts for the first time. they were pretty yummy. 
my extended family is doing a challenge where someone in our family attends the temple (or temple grounds) each day in the month of april. for our day we took the kids and walked around. it was such a gorgeous night and they LOVED the fountain. 
it was ken griffey jr night at the mariners so of course we had to attend. we took all three kids and they loved it. especially the food. they may have had a little toooo much sugar.....
in front of the new KGjr statue.
sully finally had his first game of the season (freaking rain) and loved every second of it. 
he really is so talented.

the whole situation was made even cuter by the fact that sully wore taylor's vintage padres jacket. oh my gosh.
tess is also in love with the little mermaid. they had these super cute fins in the target dollar section. mid-afternoon bath to try them out!
