For our 6th Anniversary we went extra special and went to John Howie. Neal and Michelle had been raving about it, so we were excited to try it! The fried bacon was pretty amazing!! It has a special maple syrup spicy sauce that goes on it. Could go there just for the bacon and be happy. 



 Before dinner though Eric and Q had a little golf practice. Eric ordered these golf balls that glow in the dark. They are pretty sweet. At night it is fun to watch Mike and Eric hit the balls from their deck onto the green.
 Q got tired so he decided he wanted to watch. He is so funny where he picks to sit and watch.
 A few days later Q woke up coughing, so we gave him a little more of his breathing treatment, but as the day went on it seemed he kept getting worse. By the time Eric got home from work I knew we had to take him to the ER because he was only breathing if he was crying to grunting. When it comes to struggling to breath they have a scale from 1 - 12. 1 is breathing fine and 12 is really struggling. When we first got there Q was ranked at an 11. So they immediately put him on a nebulizer. Unfortunately nebulizers take a lot longer for Q then most kids. They should only take about an hour from start to finish, but because the medicine makes Q's heart rate increase to really high levels we have to keep stopping to let his heart rate get back down to a lower level. Since he was so high we were really worried that he would have to stay the night. We said a lot of prayers and gave Q a blessing, and luckily when they came back to re rate him, he scored a 3! So we got to go home!

This last week has been SO HOT! My apartment still doesn't have air conditioning and being pregnant it makes the heat unbearable. So we went to a splash pad with a playgroup from church. He had so much fun! 

 Then that night we went to the Lake with Eric and the Bastians. They have an inflatable little boat that we took out. Q thought it was a blast. We may have to buy one!

 Then we went up to Lake Stevens and enjoyed the lake as well. This water was a lot colder then Lake Washington. Q still had a ton of fun playing in it though, and we did bring a little inflatable tube that he thought was amazing. He just like floating around in it. My kind of day at the lake.

We also found a townhome to rent! Eric officially got his job in Bothell so we found a fabulous place near by.  We got the keys on June 1st and will slowly move in once Eric is done with school. We are excited to move to a HUGE townhome... its like 3x the size of our current apartment. We are going to miss all of our friends but luckily we can still come visit anytime we want. 


This last week Seattle has had a rare HOT summer week! We made sure we played in the water every day, because our little apartment was SO hot, we didn't want to be inside.

Our first trip to the water included walking to the Mall in our backyard and playing in the water pieces there.

Q loves playing in the water. Later that night, we went to Lake Washington with our friends, the Bastians and played in the lake. The lake was FREEZING but the kids didn't seem to mind!




The next day, after Neal got home from school we headed up to his parents house and picked up their jetski and headed to Lake Stevens. Again, the kids had a blast, water was freezing, but it got us all excited about living and the lake this summer.  
 

Neal and Michelle bought this cute little blow up jet ski at Costco. I think we will need to go buy one as well, the kids had so much fun floating around on it.We all took turns riding the grown up jet ski, and have grand plans for this summer.

Eric and I the other day were talking about how little snow Seattle has had so far this winter. Usually there is at least 1 or 2 days of snow where everything is cancelled! It's awesome! Well one Saturday night we happened to look out the snow and saw it was snowing!! I had to speak in church the next day so the prayers for church to be cancelled started!



We woke up the next morning to a lot of snow and since church wasn't till 11, we had to play in it! Also, Neal and Wilson were throwing snowballs at our windows.


Wilson and Q are always playing together

They are going to be best friends

Just like their dads

Trouble Maker Wilson- who needs yellow tape?!

Trying to make snow balls

 
Couldn't find his other blue glove- so we used a sock


Maddie was so excited to see Q



Maddie is also always looking out for Q
Who needs siblings when you have Maddie and Wilson? He had so much fun playing in the snow and exploring. He cried when we went back inside. Sadly church wasn't cancelled and I still had to give my talk. Hardly anyone was at church though, so it wasn't half bad!
