We took the boys to Snoqualmie Falls today. It isn't very far from our house, but Wade & I hadn't been for years and it was the boys' first time. We also walked down to the bottom of the Falls, which I hadn't done before. 
Larry & Alan check out the Falls. I was here with their great-grandparents in the 1980's... looks exactly the same :)
Couldn't resist taking this picture through the fence of Alan catching. It was a beautiful day, and the ballpark is such a fun place to be.
Alan turned the big 1-1 on Monday! Saturday night he had a bowling party with some friends. Monday we went out to dinner and saw Shrek III. I had this big ugly balloon hidden behind the shower curtain for an early-morning surprise, heh heh.
Neil and I hiked with my cub scout den on Saturday, up the Little Mt. Si trail. Every review I read about this hike emphasized that it's an easy trail, even for young children. True - it was a piece of cake for our five 7-year-old spider monkeys, but it should be noted that middle-aged women who are out of shape will BARELY make it. Here's Neil at the top, still bubbling with youthful enthusiasm.
The boys taking a rest.
A nice view on the way up.
The dads brought energy bars, raw peanuts and raisins, survival knives, matches and first aid kits. I brought these chips...
The walk back DOWNhill was wonderful.
Our young mountain goats climbed anything that was remotely climbable.
Immediately after the hike, I took Neil to his friend Molly's birthday party. The girls are very intently watching the progress of the cake being carried to the table. Larry came too, because the birthday girl's brother is his good friend.
I remember thinking it was so funny as a kid to make a stupid face right before an adult snapped a photo. Karma! My son thinks the same thing is a hoot. Of course, there were no instant online photo albums back then to show everyone how annoying I was. Too bad for Larry and his friends.
We had a Mother's Day get-together ~ this picture was taken especially for Grandma & Grandpa Sutton :)
Audrey, Neil, Larry & Megan.

Audrey & Neil get comfortable in TV-watching positions.
This is Eleanor sleeping, if you can believe it!
Aunt Carrie & Grandma Sandy came to meet Natalie.
She's so perfect and cute!!! I think she looks a lot like Eleanor did when she was born.
Thought about crying for a minute but changed her mind.
Mommy with her new little one. Does everyone else agree that Anna looks way too good for someone who gave birth the night before?
Natalie weighed the same as Larry did (7lb, 11oz) when he was born in this same hospital 12 1/2 years ago :)
Alan and his newest cous!
