The Agurkis family comes to town...

The Agurkis family came into town a few weekends ago and, as usual, we had a fantastic time together. We are so lucky to have such great friends. Taylor was happy to have a play mate more her age. The got into some glitter Christmas tree ball decorations I had; and had a ball (ha!) playing with them.

{oh by the way, the next day Taylor was pooping glitter! Like a true princess should!} :)

The reason they came was for Doug's birthday. It was no Dirty thirty, but thirty-two aint so bad either. :) We made him a delicious sea food dinner and gave him a tub of jelly beans (he loves them!) and he seemed content! :)

We went to play at river front park one day and had to take a ride on the gondola.

Girls in one car...

Boys in the other...

The beautiful (green?) falls... :)

This is a pretty common face for Taylor right now. She is the funniest little girl I have ever met! She has so much personality at this young age. Makes me nervous for what's to come!

Next up on the docket, was to feed the ducks.

No, Jacob you can't go into the water!

No, Taylor you can't eat the bread, it's for the ducks!

{They hadn't quite grasped the concept of feeding ducks yet!} :)

{Beautiful Spokane!}

Had to get a family picture on the garbage goat! :) HA!

This is why we love our Agurkis family!

Tucker takes after his dad in so many ways. He saw this rock wall as we were passing under the underpass and had to climb it. He got most of the way up before Ben went up to help him. Such boys!

And of course, the big red wagon! :) Taylors first ride down, I believe!

And Jacob's as well! I love that cute little smile! :)

No trip downtown is complete without riding the carousel. Well, I don't ride it. I can't ride it! Just looking at the thing go around and around makes me queasy. But I'm just he photographer anyway! :)

Finally the big dinner was here. The feast was grand. The company was delightful and the satisfaction was complete! :) (yes, we had to bring in some of our patio chairs from the back porch- our families are growing!) :)

And Tuckers favorite moment of the weekend. The ice-cream cake. OK, it was mine too! :) Thanks for having a birthday Doug, so I could have an excuse to consume the deliciousness that is the DQ ice-cream cake! :)

OH, and congrats on becoming a MASTER! We are so proud of you. It's about freakin' time! :) And thanks for being Ben's best friend! We love you!
