Happy 1st Birthday!

Can you believe this baby girl is one years old... because I cannot! Where has a year gone??

Miss Ellie Grace Sattler, aka panda, bear, Ellie K, Elsworth G. Panda, you are such a great little baby. You are so happy. You love to be entertained by your brothers. You are happy, easy going, and such a third child. You love to eat real people food. You are a great sleeper. You love your mom way too much. Elmo mesmerizes you. You have recently discovered your voice and LOVE to scream to get anyone and every one's attention. You have two teeth and are about to get one more. From the moment we put your glasses on, you have been content to wear them. I still cannot believe you started clapping when daddy put them on you for the first time! You are independent, but don't like being alone. You are a speedy crawler and are a cruising machine. You have started to stand by yourself, but only for a few second. You love to carry things around in your mouth like a little puppy. You love water and cannot get enough of the bath and a pool. You have had a busy year and are well traveled. You are loved by all. We are so happy you are part of our family and cannot wait to see how you change and grow. Happy birthday baby girl. We love you!

Seahawks Game

Avery and Josh went to one of the pre-season Seahawks game. Avery was in heaven and has been looking forward to the game for weeks. A reminder flyer came in the mail last week and Avery thought it was his ticket. He was running around the house, so excited. Brady and I had a special pool date at nana and bob bob's, but he was not feeling well, so he was not too sad to miss the game.

Lake Kachess

We have been so lucky this summer to enjoy Lake Kachess, thanks to Auntie Cristi and Uncle Paul. We went up on Tuesday last week and stayed through Friday. The weather was AMAZING and we got to enjoy the dock and water! We got to enjoy a wonderful dinner with Uncle Paul, Auntie Cristi and Max. The boys have so much fun with them, and so does Ellie of course. We took a boat ride to "pirate island",where the boys explored and Ellie hung out. The Aigner's had to leave, but we got to stay and enjoy the amazing house and lake for a few more days. My mom and Allie were there too! Avery was super adventerous this trip in the water and with the canoe. We ventured into Cle Elum... for some reason Avery thinks this is one of the best places on earth. The boys were introduced to Dairy Queen for the first time, so now Brady is on board with Avery about Cle Elum... so funny!
