Twin's first baseball game

We've been making it a point to try and take advantage of Kate being here in Seattle by going outside with the twins as often as possible, her energy levels permitting. Typically we just walk Greenlake but yesterday we decided to hit up an afternoon Mariners game. Regardless of the Mariners getting killed, we had a great time! We didn't make it until the 5th inning but we took advantage of our time there by enjoying hot dogs and beer ;) Needless to say the twins brought A LOT of attention from other fans.

June pictures

Still catching up and unloading the SD cards.  June was filled with some fun, a lot of work and not much sleep, a new job, some brain surgery (to be posted about later) and a couple of glasses of wine to take it all in.  More to come on all of that, but for now enjoy the pictures.

 

Maximus.

 

 

Noah.

 

 

Grandma Pam came up regularly to help out through all of the mayhem!

 

 

Blueberries are in season and Cole approves.  He literally ate 2/3 of a pound in one sitting.  I sense a future food eating champion in training.  You can also see Cole's hair is starting to come in (in places) and he likes to shape it like a unicorn.

 

 

Great Aunt Kelly came out to babysit one night and let the family out for a dinner and drink! 

 

 

Cole got a new train table from our friends the Griffiths (who unfortunately just relocated to Napa [stinks to be them]).  Their gift has been loved by Cole!

 

 

Cole thinks his dad has great taste in shoes and tries them on regularly.

 

 

Noah and Max hanging out on a beautiful quilt made by their favorite friend of the family, Jeanne.  (Who we still owe a serious thank you note to for some beautiful gifts!)

 

 

And finally on hot days we head up to the Green Lake wading pool for a little cooling off!  Here's Cole unabashedly staring a neighbor girl.  We'll have to get him some sunglasses at an early age.

Cousins Unite!

We got a special visit in early July with the boys Aunt, Uncle and cousins passing through Seattle on their way to Alaska.  It was Max and Noah's first time meeting Uncle Jason and cousins Jack and Maggie and we had a great time catching up, hearing about plans for the big Alaska adventure and getting excited for the Frasers to move back to the PNW. 

Here's some shots of the kiddos together.  Be warned, Jack and Maggie are total hams (and quite adorable).

 

PEACE Jack.  He's really taking in the Japanese culture.

 

 

More interested in the inflatable arms.

 

 

Cole!  Let me get that outta your nose.

 

 

Jack and Maggie being great older cousins... Cole bewildered.

 

 

Max looks pretty big sitting in Maggie's lap!

 

 

Something's funny.

 

 

Love?

 

 

Off to the Mariner's - Red Sox game.  For the record M's won. 

Happy (belated) 3 month birthday boys!

We have an excuse for not blogging... although not a good one.  Our home computer where all of our pictures are stored has been giving us trouble since early June.  After sending it in for repair days of time with tech support and weeks of computers in transit, we finally got a new one.  Thanks Lenovo for your worst in class customer service.

And with that said... Happy 3 months Noah and Max!  3 months feels like 3 years... but it also feels like 3 days as we're still just getting to know these fun little men.  And of course we love them to death and get to see fun new things everyday.  Here are some shots from their 3 month photo shoot.

  

Hi Noah!

 

 

Max is more entertained by the wall

 

 

No, Max is not that much taller than Noah, although he does weigh about a pound more than him.  Time for a diet!

Smiles

We've been getting lots of smiles around here lately! Just haven't captured too many on our camera yet....  here's Kate and Max sharing a laugh :)

More fun in the sun

Nana, Drew, Cole, Noah, Max and I made our way to Bite of Seattle today. Probably won't make this an annual tradition until the kids are a bit older and can manage on their own! Cole sure did love the fountain though :)

Enjoying the sun

We've got a lot to catch everyone up on but in the meantime I thought I would post a couple of pics of Cole enjoying the water fountain at mom's apartment. Kate was a great sport and ended up just as wet as Cole :)
