Museum of Flight

One of our favorite spots in town sits right next to Boeing Field. It is full of action and lots and lots of planes! Emmett has become very interested in outer space and perhaps one day we'll see him bouncing on the moon. Emmett with no gravity would be quite the sight.

He loves the Kid's Flight Zone that has actual planes for the kids to sit in. His buddy Liam joined him on the helicopter. We talk lots about helicopters and he plans on riding one next time we go to Hawaii. We'll have to wait and see about that.

Emmett, Beckie Boo, Liam and Maceo got to take a sneak peak into Air Force One. Here is Beckie Boo, our next American Idol from Toledo, OH. Sorry Crystal!






Teatro Zinzanni aka "Grown Up Circus"

Emmett was excited he got to dress up "fancy" for the big event at Seattle's one and only Teatro Zinzanni. TZ is an amazing artistic preformance full of magic, opera, theater and comedy. It's an unforgettable experience and we went to support a fundraiser for Children's Country Home, a 24 hour medical facility for our most fragile children.

There are so many acts happening simultaneously and the music is definitely loud at times, so Emmett had a solution...

This artist was a juggler extraordinaire...juggling 5-6 hats at a time plus more...

We are still talking about this "circus", so we know it was a big success with our boy!

Lesson Learned: Collars are for Dogs

Recently, Emmett and Ruby have become the best of friends. He always wants her in his room whether its sleeping at night or making Quiet Time a little less lonely. A man's best friend and it's one of the reasons why we love Ruby so much.

To prevent her from waking him up while he is sleeping (very important!), we take off her collars at night, so they don't rattle around. The other morning, Emmett decided he wanted to wear her heavy one realizing it easily goes on, but not the other way around. We tugged once, twice then once or twice again with no success. The tears would not stop flowing as he was convinced it was permanently stuck around his neck. Well, it was and the only solution was serious, industrial-size pliers. Whew-what a relief!




Easter is Fun!

Emmett really loves this holiday for one reason only-chocolate! It helps that Gramma and Papa came in town, too. His one request in all honesty was to "hug Easter". Yes, they have always been on a first name basis.
Yes, he not only got the hug, but we got the pic to show it...

The brunch at CTC offered face painting fun, too. The spider was probably not the best idea as later in the week he experienced night terrors and spoke the next morning of spiders. Maybe Thomas the Train next year?

Easter Bunny left Emmett Mr. Potato Head, which is an all time classic. Emmett felt the need to dance like he does, so who knew he was also a dancing potato?
I love Anya in the back watching the egg hunt in full force...Emmett seems pleased he is getting all the eggs and someone else is not...
Mine all mine...

Gramma and Papa know much Emmett loves anything that flies and brought him a very cool helicopter. He loves it and really wants to go on one next time we're in Hawaii. Maybe in 15 years.




























Without further a due, here are some precious pics of our favorite spring time holiday.

My Saint "Wewis" People

I had so much fun playing with my Grams. We got to eat ice cream and run around the Seattle Gymnastics Academy. I decided this trip I wanted to call her "Grammy" and I don't know why.

Aunt Julie is lots of fun. I was so happy to have her here that I asked her not to leave until I am 12. I was so lucky to spend time with mommy and Aunt Julie at the market. Aunt Julie even bought me hot chocolate with candy sprinkles on top! Wow-she can visit whenever she wants.


Papa is the best and frankly, I don't like sharing him with Anya. I am slowly getting used to it and if it makes Papa happy then I guess I'll be okay with it. Sigh.
