What's Seattle like this time of Year?

Well, it's rainy! But that's OK, because it's not freezing cold yet! That's right ladies and gents, lads and lassies, herren and damen, we are in Seattle, well, Renton, to be exact, visiting Aaron, Kelsey and Harmon Evans. Aaron is going to Switzerland and we are keeping Kelsey and Harmon company whilst he is away. We will keep you posted as the fun unfolds.


First, of course, we have some cute cousin pics. Kenya and her cousin Harmon play together.


This one's a kinda blurry, but you get the picture!
Kenya's classic "Deer in Headlights" shot. It never gets old!
Today we visited Aaron at work in downtown Seattle in Columbia Tower(building on right). Here are some pics of the place!

(Ding) Going UP! Next stop, 17th floor. Aaron's office.

(Ding) 17th floor! Aaron's office
We are all with Aaron in his corner office on, that's right, the 17 floor! (Ding) Going WAY UP!

(Ding) 73rd floor! Observation deck!
Here we are with proof that we were on the 73rd floor. We wanted to go to the observation deck, but it cost five bucks a person and Aaron was on a lunch break. So this will have to do.

(Ding) Going DOWN! 40th floor! Starbucks and alternate viewing opportunity!

We were lucky and were able to go inside a conference room and take a gander.(Ding) Going DOWN! Leaving Aaron's work!
Well, that was what we did. As we exited the building Robert got eaten by the revolving door! It was pretty hilarious!

After Aaron's work we went to Fred Meyer; the same Fred Meyer with the deadliest parking ever. (At least that's how Kelsey tells it.) Here Harmon gives his cousin a lift through the store.


What up, Cuz?

No drinking & driving here! They are off to a great start! That was our day in Washington. If anything else cool, funny, or interesting happens, we will do our best to get it on the blog!

Kenya is cute! Fall is here! Halloween is on the way!

Like it says, "Kenya is cute!" We have been going on walks for the last few days and have been enjoying the beautiful foliage and what not. Kenya loves the outdoors! There are many times that if she is crying and we can't get her to stop then we just take her outside and she stops immediately. Go figure.




I took this particular picture to show how big & petite Kenya is getting! She is now 25inches long and she weighs 13lbs 11.5oz! She sits and eats in a high chair with a little help. Note the folded up towel underneath her.




Here are some more pictures to show the changing leaves and just some of the beautiful scenery in the neighborhood.


On the way back from our walk today we saw this cloud in the sky!

The first bunch of pics are of Kenya folding laundry with Lois and loving it!





Kenya's deer in headlights pose!
Here Kenya spends some time with This, Daddy, and Baby Orajel!
These next few pics are of This and our car. We don't know why, but some of the animals around here seem obsessed with our car. When the ducks are out and about they often take naps under our car! If you look closely, This is winking for the camera in the first pic!




Here is another pic of Kenya lovin' on This. She can't get enough of This! Deer in headlights!

Here is a quick clip of Kenya giving Daddy a five!



And minutes ago, she very clearly said, "Hi", to Daddy!

Family Home Evening and Octoberfest, Draper Style

More Cute Kenya Picks

Well these first couple of pics are of Kenya being as cute as can be. It even looks like she purposely struck a pose in the second one!

Family Home Evening

These are the Family Home Evening pics. At the Libby Farmers Market, we were asked to make a scarecrow for display at Octoberfest. We decided we wanted to make a couple of them. It was tons of fun! This was the first time I had ever made a scarecrow!


We wanted to make one that was completely off the wall and goofy...so we did! This is what Santa Clause might look like on vacation!

The other one we made was kind of a more traditional one. We also wanted to give it a theme of Montana mountain man. We would have used a real pumpkin for a head, but we are going to use all the ones that were grown as jack-o-lanterns and such.

Disco ball Alien Legacy

This is a video of something that used to scare/entertain Kenya's cousin Sam when he was about her age. It is pretty funny to see her reaction! Enjoy.





Octoberfest: Libby, Montana Farmers Market

We totally scored a new umbrella at the fest!

Kenya Patty Cakes!

Here is a short clip of Kenya doing patty cake. She does it even better when the camera is off, but now you can see some of it for yourself.
