Dress Up/Down

The truth about kids is that they hate to wear clothes. You have to give them candy or beer in order for them to smile with clothes on. Then if you decide to take pictures of them with their clothes off, they look at you like an idiot. Seriously, I wonder about our sanity sometimes because if we put ourselves into the minds of our children we might be a little more hesitant to act. Don't believe me? Allow me to put my mind-reading skills to the test again:

V: I'm cold.

V: I'm hungry.

V: I'm cold and hungry and you're too close for comfort.

V: I'm having a good time because you promised me candy.

V: I'm having a good time because you promised me beer.

V: I'm the cutest thing you've ever seen. Bring it.

Busy Weekend

You'd think it was just an ordinary Pre-Columbus Day weekend but it was a pretty busy one for us. Yes, I know that you might think that preparation for Columbus Day is quite a feat, but we aren't usually big Columbus Day peoples. Grandparents Lee came over Saturday morning and brought rain with them. We hung out for a while doing intelligent things when a friend from Portland, Carrie Ann Baker, was in town and decided to drop by for a visit. That night April threw her mom a surprise birthday party that was a smashing success.

The next day we went to the Puyallup Oktoberfest and watched Sophie compete in the Wiener Dog Race. Having no expectations entering the competition, we decided it would be best to invite the entire family over. Surprisingly, she won her first heat! Then whilst we waited for the Semis, we played Wash Ringer, Cornhole Toss and got totally wasted tried a few German beers. In the Semis Sophie unfortunately got third, losing to the eventual winner. Good times were had by all. Below are some pics from the Busy Weekend:

Check out that cleavage! V's motto: If ya got it, flaunt it!

April's party: A smashing success!

Sophie was totally beat after the races.

This kid LOVES real food!

OK, OK you can go home with Gammy and The FOG.

Ha ha! Just kidding! This kid will believe anything!
