May Days

Last weekend we went down to Seattle so I could run in a half marathon with my friend Jen. Jen and I ran together for 11.5 miles and we finished 40 seconds apart. Unfortunately for me, that 40 seconds included a major milestone for me! Next time :). We had a great race and Rich and I actually got to go on a date. Imagine that!

Quinn is now a big four year old! He has developed quite the sense of humor, loves to be active, play with his little brother and give "tenchel" kisses.

Tulips and Birthday Parties

The Taylors have lived in Bellingham for coming on 15 years and neither Rich nor I had ever been to the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. Last month I decided to take the boys on a Friday afternoon after Quinn got out of school. Here are some pictures from our afternoon adventure. Next year we'll go when Rich isn't working :).

Late April/Early May is birthday season up here. First came Quinn's friend Noah's birthday party, then Quinn's, then his friend Ben's. All within a week!

Quinn's party at Jump Around Fun Zone- unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the kids actually jumping...note the boys swarmed around the diggers in the last picture. They were in awe.

Quinn was zonked at the end of the weekend.
