nephew date

Time with Aunt Lindsay always looks a little different from the norm & I love it. The boys have let her in to their otherwise "No Girls Allowed" world.

I was looking at the receipt from H&M, & found that I had purchased a "Fancy Hair Acc." Funny, because I would have bought a $10 broken harmonica if they labeled it a "Fancy Hair Acc."

This guy is 30!

H&M missed me so much they were there waiting across the street from our hotel.

Dinner at The Walrus & the Carpenter.
Probably the most unique dining experience Matt or I had ever had.
Very reasonably priced, too. Thank you stephmodo,
you were the best tour guide! We hit up her recommends for
Sitka & Spruce, Oddfellows, & Molly Moon's as well.
Everything was brilliant.

Exploring the city beyond the tourist stops meant a lot of time in the car.

They have flowers in Seattle, popping up everywhere. Ahh Spring, come quick.

The boys spent the weekend between Grandpa & Grandma Butlers house & our house with Aunt Lindsay. They asked if we could leave again next weekend, I will take that as a good sign. Here is a funny joke they told my sister: Parker said Whoopi Goldberg must have had gas a lot when she was little to get her name. Kaleb immediately remarks, THAT'S MY GIRL!

Amazed at the big, big things stirring in our hearts. Matt & I had a beautiful birthday trip to Seattle, more to come on that.

Oh that face with those pink cheeks & snotty nose & dirty fingernails! What has me swooning? Matt & I are off to enjoy a weekend in Seattle to celebrate his birthday. Why are the kids so perfect right before you try to get away?

birth day

Not just Matt had a birthday yesterday. Welcome, Kiel Asher Archuleta. I am in awe of how new life is thrust upon us so graciously from our God. He is seriously SO GOOD. Congratulations Kelly, Kirsten, Koen & Kace!

heart attack

The Archuleta Valentine's Day was a success. A lot of pink & I love yous & this heart shaped pizza roll for dinner.

Breakfast at the Nampa airport for Matt's big day.

I am so glad you were born Matty Matt! The universe is a happier place to be with you in it.

my love

Even if he does wear his boots in bed.
