Seahawks, Valentine’s Day, and More!

Okay so I know I've said this before, but I have REALLY been neglecting this thing. The further away I get from updating, the more I think that maybe I should just stop posting. Honestly though, it’s a really great way for me to look back, almost like a journal. I’m so glad I kept it up during both pregnancies, etc.. SO… here’s my attempt to bring things up to speed. :)Some photos are from my phone (which you might have seen if you follow me on instagram) and some are from our “fancy” camera. :) Enjoy!

  It was SUCH a fun football season. I never really grew up around football, and either did Russ being from NZ. We ended up watching the games at my parent’s house and couldn’t help but get caught up in all of the excitement. Rowan especially! Everywhere we go he points out anything Seahawks related, and he pretty much begged us for a Seahawks tee shirt. Well, he wanted a jersey, but we told him we weren’t spending the $ on one for now. :) We got Isla’s little jersey/onesie as a hand-me-down which was great. There was just so much buzz in Seattle and it was amazing to be Super Bowl champs. Can’t wait for next season!

Our church got pretty into it too and even had face painting. It was Rowan’s first time having his face painted and he thought it was very cool.  

Beast Mode!    Snuggles at Mor-Mor’s. Up late! :) My cute mom making yummy treats to go alongside the game. Champagne toast to celebrate!Random phone photos:

My new “nerd” glasses. Russ loves them! I do too, but they take some getting used to. My mom doesn’t understand why i’d want to wear these, lol!

Valentine’s Day:

Russ and I chose to have our Valentines' Day date at Chace’s Pancake Corral in Bellevue for breakfast. We love breakfast, and just casual dates where we can drink coffee and talk kid-free. It was perfect for us. It’s also been 5 years since we got engaged! Can’t believe how fast it’s gone. This is what happens when I try and get him to take a serious picture. I was so annoyed! haha Also why I love him though.Valentine’s Day was SO fun for Rowan this year. He had a party in his classroom. I ordered these cute little crayons shaped like lego bricks/lego mini figures and put them in a bag with these little cards that say “You make my life colorful.” He was SO proud to bring them to school. They decorated bags with stickers and crayons and passed out their cards. When he got home he wanted to spend a long time showing me each one. I remember LOVING that as a kid. One of my favorite school days. We even picked out this shirt for him to wear for his class party. “ Love at first slice.” This kid is Seriously into the ninja turtles.
