Giggles

Owen has the most wonderful laugh and giggle! Here he is getting ready for bed, and was in a very silly mood. We couldn't help but get a little video clip - for memories, and for sharing!

Arizona

Owen took his first plane ride! We headed to Arizona for a fun-packed weekend visiting Linnea's parents at their new vacation home. We had a fantastic trip, and already look forward to future Arizona vacations with all the special family memories which will be made!

At the airport...preparing to board Owen's first flight

The home is absolutely lovely and the pool is very inviting!

Pool Time?

Yay! Let's Play!

Owen enjoyed swimming and splashing with his Saba & Safta

Sleeping through dinner...exhausted after an eventful day!

Following dinner, Brian and Clark headed to Tempe for the Arizona State vs. University of Washington Football game!

Go Huskies!

Sunday morning: Saba & Safta played with Owen, letting us sleep in!

Hanging out in Saba's favorite spot on the couch

Thanks for sharing, Saba! This is a great place to watch football! :)

Off to a nice brunch to wrap up our weekend

Cozy (and sleepy!) with mom

Sleeping through yet another meal.

All the excitement sure makes a growing baby tired!

Thank you for a wonderful visit!
We'll be back soon!

Remy's First Birthday

Happy First Birthday Remy!

Our neice Remedios ("Remy") turned one last weekend! We enjoyed a fun weekend in Portland, full of family time and celebration. We spent Saturday at a Pumpkin Patch and Sunday at the Zoo for Remy's birthday party. So special that Owen & Remy are close in age. It will be fun to watch the cousins grow up together!

CPA Exam

Congratulations Brian...you officially passed the CPA Exam! After finishing the UW graduate accounting program last summer, and starting with Moss Adams accounting firm in January, Brian kept the momentum going and started studying for the CPA Exam right away. In less than 1 year, he successfully passed all 4 parts of the CPA Exam! Way to go! We love you and are so proud of you!

Yummy homemade boysenberry pie, made by dear friends (and CPA study partners!) Blue & Erston...complete with a "CPA" inscription

What's a CPA? Whatever it is....mom and dad are very excited!
