Gus put on these glasses yesterday and Max started running around the house excitedly yelling, "It's Peter Parker! It's Peter Parker!" who, if you don't know, is Spiderman's secret identity. It seriously made Max's day. Personally, I was thinking more, "It's Harry Potter! It's Harry Potter!" but we're not quite there yet in our knowledge of literary characters.

Like Father, Like Son
Trip to Port Angeles
This past weekend we enjoyed a lovely trip over to Port Angeles to visit Mark's parents. Here's a couple things we enjoyed.
A nice relaxing campfire:
Gus really got into roasting marshmallows:
I love this picture because I told Gus his marshmallow was on fire and he needed to help blow it out and he then attempted to blow out the actual campfire instead:
Gus enjoying the end result:
Max gets in on the s'more action too:
Max told us he wanted to go for a hike, so Grandad had hiking sticks ready for each of the boys. They came complete with bells to warn animals we were coming, although Grandad said they were more for looks since the boys are loud enough to scare off any animals themselves. =)
Here's Gus with his walking stick:
Heading into the woods:
At our destination, the creek:
Max checking out the creek:
Mother and Son:
Gus got totally freaked out on the way back when a bug flew in his eye (I think it was probably a gnat). After that he only wanted me to carry him. I did okay for awhile but it was an uphill climb and finally he agreed to let Grandad carry him. Then of course Max wanted to be carried, so the end of the hike looked like this:
And after that, Daddy looked like this:
Great weather, fun activities, delicious food and time with family.

A few of my favorite Maxisms
I never get tired of hearing Max say these things:
Rhi-ay-no = rhino
eyebrowns = eyebrows
sunscream = sunscreen
"my shoes are buzzing!" = my feet fell asleep
I just have to throw this one in from Gus. It took me a long time to figure out what he was saying:
olgorp = skateboard
Rhi-ay-no = rhino
eyebrowns = eyebrows
sunscream = sunscreen
"my shoes are buzzing!" = my feet fell asleep
I just have to throw this one in from Gus. It took me a long time to figure out what he was saying:
olgorp = skateboard
Brian & Amber got hitched!
Here are a few photos from the wedding of our wonderful friends, Brian and Amber. Brian has lived with us for 3 years and is truly a part of our family. It was our honor & privilege to be a part of their special day. Mark was a groomsman and Max & Gus were the ring bearers. True to their personalities, Gus ran down the aisle shouting Brian's name, while Max wouldn't go down unless I walked with him. The wedding was held at the Farm Kitchen in Poulsbo, which was an absolutely gorgeous place. A lovely day for our very lovely friends.
