The neighborhood goes ALL out, decorating, handing out candy, and creating a fun atmosphere!!

I had just gotten home from my yearly scrapbooking weekend and was hesitant to go.

Sherry and I kept commenting that we couldn't believe the luck we had in having a warm, sunny, wind free day at the beach.

When we said, "yes" he would move father back and say, "now can you?" We finally had to say, "Nope, not at all."<br /><br />I met my sister, her husband and their 3 kids and we went trick-or-treating to one of the best neighborhoods around. They spend the whole week decorating their houses and the crowd they draw is unreal!!! It's always so fun to see what different costumes people dress their kids in.

You know you are confident and comfortable in your marriage when you decide to take your 3 kids along with you for the day. We decided to spend the day over in Seattle. We started at a sports store looking for new football shoulder pads for Brett, then we made our way over to the Pacific Science Center. The kids had a great time. The main exhibit was "Animal Grossology" Some of the exhibits were pretty gross, but also very entertaining!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtecg8zuxmlSbV6o0xQ66MWRonruu0Sblnwq62qjVDHS2CKFxaHGrRyRgZllc-tK0udmIS-8EG-A8R2TYVTDyubnFWiGRVen8k36yBVjhVORQqLWkYlxZQc4P1blIwmABInx27KCw5MTw-/s1600-h/P1030866.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtecg8zuxmlSbV6o0xQ66MWRonruu0Sblnwq62qjVDHS2CKFxaHGrRyRgZllc-tK0udmIS-8EG-A8R2TYVTDyubnFWiGRVen8k36yBVjhVORQqLWkYlxZQc4P1blIwmABInx27KCw5MTw-/s320/P1030866.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399167160696338738" border="0" /></a><br /><br />They have a water section outside that I think the kids enjoyed more than the exhibits outside.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwh0fzZ8_njLXhTrj-C1Xa2_f5ONZlGengcb6jv3l9wstjGRBbYxNbsTqSd90cLviQIIJPEENFvPbyeP_lc_7rPe8wJsu3PSD1ndcFUlCeNlhDCJnVR7zGHIvQMixKHCIvFB9OAhxUhwRT/s1600-h/P1030855.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwh0fzZ8_njLXhTrj-C1Xa2_f5ONZlGengcb6jv3l9wstjGRBbYxNbsTqSd90cLviQIIJPEENFvPbyeP_lc_7rPe8wJsu3PSD1ndcFUlCeNlhDCJnVR7zGHIvQMixKHCIvFB9OAhxUhwRT/s320/P1030855.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399168241355964226" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR50rBd6Slsee_rhI_gWp4aQiQBXBwYREjW7ukAIXvhqokvc7G1rq8rdPe4j-8llrunp8dG-NNRNE743_uVUxs_ywDs23u62DNh-SsqKj7REZB86qfY4QhIWXLgRx9tG-AXzFNyjEJzN1u/s1600-h/P1030851.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgR50rBd6Slsee_rhI_gWp4aQiQBXBwYREjW7ukAIXvhqokvc7G1rq8rdPe4j-8llrunp8dG-NNRNE743_uVUxs_ywDs23u62DNh-SsqKj7REZB86qfY4QhIWXLgRx9tG-AXzFNyjEJzN1u/s320/P1030851.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399168230829492162" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6A9ID8H1hcrnnl0IykL0XHYPtcyMPoOSqICTyg6bPaoSHK10PJ4V28wASjLgpvhlRoX9zsDzVFyJKent4nMbESCXg-p-EO8GsBbYD9AsT3u-Tbz_jHjsQOtVVUQFfKN3PItu-VKOlb6Ov/s1600-h/P1030849.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6A9ID8H1hcrnnl0IykL0XHYPtcyMPoOSqICTyg6bPaoSHK10PJ4V28wASjLgpvhlRoX9zsDzVFyJKent4nMbESCXg-p-EO8GsBbYD9AsT3u-Tbz_jHjsQOtVVUQFfKN3PItu-VKOlb6Ov/s320/P1030849.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399168216788159138" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The Science Center is always very entertaining.

My first response was, "YES". He knows I love going to Mariner's games in the summer time. I love everything about it. The smells, the field, the food, the game! The more we talked we decided it would be fun for Scott to take Adam. He's never been to Safeco and has been talking about going all summer. He left work and went to the house to pick Adam up.

It's hard to believe that people often go to the game and get to sit in this section every time!!! For the past 3 years Scott has gotten an extra ticket and has taken me. This year he had 2 extra tickets. The boys were at friends and were spending the night so we took Taylor with us. She was in awe of the buffet that we ate at before the game, the view from our seats and the cute ball boy that tossed her the first foul ball.

She was so excited to buy her first dress. I have to admit that I was dreading the experience. How many dresses would she try on, how many different stores, how much would it cost. We walked into JC Penney's and she looked up on the manequin, saw the dress, tried it one and $29.99 and 1/2 hour later we were done!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikSK4kxoZB7lLOG9Y-fVl8rOhm1gmNWPVNWgmRi-uUz6r2MdueijbT35Qavm5IY7k9oo4DDb02dw6IEhY6DJQSvOmVTJjDFSu0LnLvwaqVyb_D952l9K4eZBJ7O7I6d2S76G2VBg58TKSh/s1600-h/P1030955.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikSK4kxoZB7lLOG9Y-fVl8rOhm1gmNWPVNWgmRi-uUz6r2MdueijbT35Qavm5IY7k9oo4DDb02dw6IEhY6DJQSvOmVTJjDFSu0LnLvwaqVyb_D952l9K4eZBJ7O7I6d2S76G2VBg58TKSh/s320/P1030955.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397107818100344018" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWMLhalwLO79D95Alir4rmRFLlFQJ03U4K09a7PWEuiSxIgs-ihbvkEZJwjHBfgM-RehEMKARNxOcE0Ksq4XvQv-ogoLZEsEhGh4Hkk9inErKMZtbO1-7hDPYJ_AeMTfA22VCyxK9UopLG/s1600-h/P1030954.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWMLhalwLO79D95Alir4rmRFLlFQJ03U4K09a7PWEuiSxIgs-ihbvkEZJwjHBfgM-RehEMKARNxOcE0Ksq4XvQv-ogoLZEsEhGh4Hkk9inErKMZtbO1-7hDPYJ_AeMTfA22VCyxK9UopLG/s320/P1030954.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397107811278021346" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn0-kOcsRnzBMg5iws-0Zscm4jhGNjIqjK4RPgg2qiK0rB4EKIikvK6-HqGF1i10zQnTdzjpu3v-I5sfG3MNBnXsm_q2L0Oj7gNU4dP7Po11Nd8HBCgX3_KGumueK9hc1LGIidwjUb0TaQ/s1600-h/P1030952.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn0-kOcsRnzBMg5iws-0Zscm4jhGNjIqjK4RPgg2qiK0rB4EKIikvK6-HqGF1i10zQnTdzjpu3v-I5sfG3MNBnXsm_q2L0Oj7gNU4dP7Po11Nd8HBCgX3_KGumueK9hc1LGIidwjUb0TaQ/s320/P1030952.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397107804904054274" border="0" /></a><br /><br />She went with a very nice boy named Jordan.

Taylor's school hosts a semi-formal each year and Taylor and I did our very first dress shopping. We went with my sister and the 3 of us all agreed on a dress. I was even more excited when I found out it was 50% off!!! <br /><br />Taylor came home from school on Friday and we began getting her ready! Taylor is an on-line junkie and googled "How to get ready for a formal" It had all instructions starting with showering, shaving legs, applying lotion etc....... It was actually pretty cute! We then sat and curled her hair, applied make-up and painted finger and toenails.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzipRZLcXcbsXAJlrPeBWnzxtxOemQp4yiOghvSAqyuajH4PJjT_QvftsQCZLCbsLHZVCDRIT6z1GDHrag3x28TnPFyfExaaM1tzb0aWzgh-k3IsGwDNv2t_8FFaqHSx6cdLwUEV3WqL8r/s1600-h/P1030636.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzipRZLcXcbsXAJlrPeBWnzxtxOemQp4yiOghvSAqyuajH4PJjT_QvftsQCZLCbsLHZVCDRIT6z1GDHrag3x28TnPFyfExaaM1tzb0aWzgh-k3IsGwDNv2t_8FFaqHSx6cdLwUEV3WqL8r/s320/P1030636.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365598282493612498" /></a><br /><br /><br />When we went outside and I was watching her pose for the pictures it made me realize that my little girl is all grown up. We won't even mention the fact that she is now taller than me! It was a lot of fun helping her get ready for her very first dance. I'm sure it won't be the last either. But for now, I was excited to be with her and see her off to end her time at the Junior High and watch her get ready for her High School years.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiba-jaDQeBpJ3ZWc_FvK4x4LhqJ1X8r7aopR5KhIAzQMizsRRtdgoR6iiNnokLBy0XQifprf5OAa-QPSGRnEwftT8GXEg-eMrvF30Zm_LQiBpZ1R8e-bcYQSzrsUzRwspsPkPou0s0KJZq/s1600-h/P1030638.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiba-jaDQeBpJ3ZWc_FvK4x4LhqJ1X8r7aopR5KhIAzQMizsRRtdgoR6iiNnokLBy0XQifprf5OAa-QPSGRnEwftT8GXEg-eMrvF30Zm_LQiBpZ1R8e-bcYQSzrsUzRwspsPkPou0s0KJZq/s320/P1030638.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365601655376744146" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjR-PEUEwiDs8bDm9O2cnj9Cz-oLFGcMCTf0uO3yfenchSHzDtAxJVR9QmoJmC2a4audMUxNr9sgTMLzwoY71DCLvQQGOshCviio9AtYitAINQwNvA1NK8yMbZAJc7lKEBfVFmpnXPbDph/s1600-h/P1030644.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjR-PEUEwiDs8bDm9O2cnj9Cz-oLFGcMCTf0uO3yfenchSHzDtAxJVR9QmoJmC2a4audMUxNr9sgTMLzwoY71DCLvQQGOshCviio9AtYitAINQwNvA1NK8yMbZAJc7lKEBfVFmpnXPbDph/s320/P1030644.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5365601652996796050" /></a>The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-11759739860485178742009-05-19T19:39:00.000-07:002009-05-19T19:45:29.456-07:00Where does the time go........I found this picture recently and love looking at how my children have grown and changed. It's hard to believe that they were so small. Especially Adam. Looking at those chubby little cheeks makes me miss that baby stage so much. But, I also love the other stages since then that we have come upon. Each phase of their life has brought joy, laughter, frustration and excitement for what's yet to come. My children all bring something different to our family and I can't imagine life without them. I am truly blessed to have 3 beautiful children!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXPKaKcYPorWqKPo_zBoQEZqKq4Ba8whOzJIOAqRurN2ze0iCDZfY505XsYLJlDBNagIfbW69yVuQWooafE3j097RpOAU14zo1jDph8XMwXGQB1EOQucTdd8hNkvdmUH33_LjzGsAKDXRz/s1600-h/tba2003.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXPKaKcYPorWqKPo_zBoQEZqKq4Ba8whOzJIOAqRurN2ze0iCDZfY505XsYLJlDBNagIfbW69yVuQWooafE3j097RpOAU14zo1jDph8XMwXGQB1EOQucTdd8hNkvdmUH33_LjzGsAKDXRz/s320/tba2003.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337731648467537666" /></a>The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-8347214254038617892009-03-25T22:07:00.000-07:002009-03-25T22:24:51.339-07:00The Happiest Place on Earth....<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihuO-yAYpreZyzf4XUZTRriGZYipbZ7K9QT80R-Jb17aTEcaP0z0zeNjwTbALk3XeGKsfTkYIWrMz1W54QmNmS9zDfaCxlKIhBi8yyMo1KcRddMUnC7MMEDUFRVXxlhfbLATmfNo_o02Mz/s1600-h/P1030518.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihuO-yAYpreZyzf4XUZTRriGZYipbZ7K9QT80R-Jb17aTEcaP0z0zeNjwTbALk3XeGKsfTkYIWrMz1W54QmNmS9zDfaCxlKIhBi8yyMo1KcRddMUnC7MMEDUFRVXxlhfbLATmfNo_o02Mz/s320/P1030518.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317361250656382082" /></a><br /><br />Scott and I have been married 16 1/2 years to be exact and in that time we haven't had the chance to get away very often.

It's 2 months (well, almost 3) past Brett's birthday and I am just getting around to posting pictures from his birthday. He wanted to go try his hand at rock climbing. So off to Vertical World with a group of boys and had a great time.

Surprisingly enough after he came down he wanted right back up again and after about 1/2 way up wanted to come down but was afraid and the whole process of coaxing him down started all over again. He did it a total of 4 times before he said, "NO MORE" <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZcokgvF3IRakKO-3F5irAFqMuqssBfVN9YpisjEmqP405q8lgPiSEbepsv9McwCXgo09QLcNPRHTF4tWJpmmyUPoBJ_qW9RPFkbc9Bi1-1N1Gg84ZjSjt6RiR1NPAIAYr8e_rElGrLyq/s1600-h/P1030444.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2ZcokgvF3IRakKO-3F5irAFqMuqssBfVN9YpisjEmqP405q8lgPiSEbepsv9McwCXgo09QLcNPRHTF4tWJpmmyUPoBJ_qW9RPFkbc9Bi1-1N1Gg84ZjSjt6RiR1NPAIAYr8e_rElGrLyq/s320/P1030444.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317355280118150994" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9MDKui08GHGTGOPYMQr4jiwT26gSU_Nn7p7CcnlyFzwPDcRSCU3UPChECikYLcmDDJ79FRU_5c4DQhVFjB6lxYsKdHua2ogLKuj-mboEg8uifIxAwV8E-cSE5r99N5W7o4Yn9GUHJqcS/s1600-h/P1030423.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip9MDKui08GHGTGOPYMQr4jiwT26gSU_Nn7p7CcnlyFzwPDcRSCU3UPChECikYLcmDDJ79FRU_5c4DQhVFjB6lxYsKdHua2ogLKuj-mboEg8uifIxAwV8E-cSE5r99N5W7o4Yn9GUHJqcS/s320/P1030423.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317355277232529138" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwE-GhPRxmpzMMI43vrOr5LWHZyqVi9P5_J0Coya_gXovPHURyVyXC8eUSnB0b9eQErFB2HOMNYoes3bmxw0RTCMCqhYP57Gt4ZbXAKfJVznFUvWLb8LJXniWR-DgQtanue_nsNbFAndmm/s1600-h/P1030447.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwE-GhPRxmpzMMI43vrOr5LWHZyqVi9P5_J0Coya_gXovPHURyVyXC8eUSnB0b9eQErFB2HOMNYoes3bmxw0RTCMCqhYP57Gt4ZbXAKfJVznFUvWLb8LJXniWR-DgQtanue_nsNbFAndmm/s320/P1030447.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317355269359670338" /></a><br /><br />It was fun watching Brett have such a good time.

Brett then told me that he woke up about 3am and felt that something was not quite right and thought he could hear the igloo dripping. He felt like he needed to get Adam and Brandon out of the igloo and into the house. (Nathan went into the house a earlier because the snow was dripping on him) Brett said that within minutes of getting them into the house the whole igloo collapsed. Luckily no one was hurt and in the end it turned out to be a good learning experience for Brett. He felt good that he could take care of his brother and friend and that he not only listened to the still small voice that woke him up but he acted on it as well.The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-61418607608701737982008-12-30T20:11:00.000-08:002008-12-30T22:21:11.343-08:00The Hunt is On!!!Every year our favorite part of Christmas is hunting down the perfect Christmas tree. In years past we have hunted in sun, snow and rain. It doesn't really matter what the weather is, we're just out to cut down our tree. This is a family tradition that we have done since Taylor was 2 years old. This year we went to a new tree farm and as soon as we got out of the car snowflakes began falling. It was fun walking through the tree farm with the snow coming down. We finally found our perfect tree and realized that Christmas was just a few short weeks away.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARZCuSl2Tq4AbGiZDg5_q9eAVSJ4q4Pi7To75cRwRAduwJVJt8QGruqvc7wVNHYhemZ9hUOhY0_5Qfe4rvXJkRcpiOLClz_q4cXi74NgZa6ZZ6rHkKt3jpFYgK13ag_6-pg0f7mWDB-w5/s1600-h/P1030349.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhARZCuSl2Tq4AbGiZDg5_q9eAVSJ4q4Pi7To75cRwRAduwJVJt8QGruqvc7wVNHYhemZ9hUOhY0_5Qfe4rvXJkRcpiOLClz_q4cXi74NgZa6ZZ6rHkKt3jpFYgK13ag_6-pg0f7mWDB-w5/s320/P1030349.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285803709525654738" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6XsVCn4-nY445G7OJCtl7YUWttdWmtG9smMwCZWVvRMdLEMWH1EuvqDn-VQDvwIfihDCNKywmI0FMrXZ2faP2Qed-CTt6XiRDSQQ4kjmG1uyvEFmqILAR8ES0ErmLpaZgHBwGLaLK006H/s1600-h/P1030353.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6XsVCn4-nY445G7OJCtl7YUWttdWmtG9smMwCZWVvRMdLEMWH1EuvqDn-VQDvwIfihDCNKywmI0FMrXZ2faP2Qed-CTt6XiRDSQQ4kjmG1uyvEFmqILAR8ES0ErmLpaZgHBwGLaLK006H/s320/P1030353.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285835053745865842" /></a><br /><br />Once we finally find our tree Scott in years past has cut our tree down. Now that the boys are getting a little older, they love to take a turn at trying to use the saw. Scott usually has to give a little muscle power towards the end. But all in all, they do pretty good.

It's always fun to drag the tree down the hill. One of our favorite memories was Scott's dad dragging the tree down the hill one year. He had the trunk and Brett was about 3 or 4 years old and he was holding the top of the tree. Scott's dad was walking a little fast for Brett's little legs and Brett fell but would not let go of his tree so he was literally being dragged down the hill while still holding on to the tree and yelling for Papa to stop. We were all laughing so hard that we couldn't get the words out to say anything. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuGkMcq5uwapEH2PKWSr1NAVW5KweNVRTBpOA6y5VMoe_Pj3iy9ljvRQGd2wHq5OyRmHkNJ6JSJTo9dQ_sitbbMi8qeck28EGV9m07tW-q-BFKVhvnxBYGEhfSlLVwPWGoHzl73dtvOvAK/s1600-h/P1030364.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhuGkMcq5uwapEH2PKWSr1NAVW5KweNVRTBpOA6y5VMoe_Pj3iy9ljvRQGd2wHq5OyRmHkNJ6JSJTo9dQ_sitbbMi8qeck28EGV9m07tW-q-BFKVhvnxBYGEhfSlLVwPWGoHzl73dtvOvAK/s320/P1030364.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285807103011756626" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2FTEMAUbLsSyhdCyQ91qRTmoj0L19xASDghRMYK0D7dkNMfAfc3SNFlIZTjkOHn71tXFtWRFWX4RcXEW6Clis3b-ChcKCfsTPELNuRqugD7Zq5HSZ8SZJ2NRhavs3SllGrt5DWlNnONh/s1600-h/P1030366.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-2FTEMAUbLsSyhdCyQ91qRTmoj0L19xASDghRMYK0D7dkNMfAfc3SNFlIZTjkOHn71tXFtWRFWX4RcXEW6Clis3b-ChcKCfsTPELNuRqugD7Zq5HSZ8SZJ2NRhavs3SllGrt5DWlNnONh/s320/P1030366.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5285807099029456642" /></a>The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-5739689303082605232008-12-14T19:54:00.000-08:002008-12-14T22:34:03.186-08:00All I want for Christmas is MY 2 front teeth!!!<div>I sent Adam off to school on Thursday just like any other day. However, just as I was coming back from lunch I got the dreaded phone call from the school nurse. My first thought was, Adam seemed just fine this morning. The nurse proceeded to tell me that Adam took a pretty bad fall at recess and although they had the bleeding under control, she wasn't comfortable with how his teeth and upper gums were looking. I thanked her and hung up and called my mom and asked her if she could get Adam from school and bring him to me. I was just walking into court so I didn't have a lot of time. I called Scott and told him what had happened and to be prepared in case he needed to take Adam to the dentist. When she brought him to me I was completely shocked to see his lip about 3x the normal size and then I looked in his mouth and this is what I saw.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you have a weak stomach you may not want to scroll down any further.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknnQMhXUU0Yt5Jau9Fy7abPz4_kkHIO76cbwbos40qZTpmhdyZ-0LH6gHd7zTLf_V1alA0LVtog-MClh7Knveg-zohQJ8kTsqPaYifKGAF48FqI8bu2AdTof9QhDbCHXfRkyugqHbLvRc/s1600-h/Adam+Knutsen.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgknnQMhXUU0Yt5Jau9Fy7abPz4_kkHIO76cbwbos40qZTpmhdyZ-0LH6gHd7zTLf_V1alA0LVtog-MClh7Knveg-zohQJ8kTsqPaYifKGAF48FqI8bu2AdTof9QhDbCHXfRkyugqHbLvRc/s320/Adam+Knutsen.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279865685198018034" /></a><div><br /></div><div><br /><br />Adam spent about 3 hours at the dentist. He numbed him up pretty good and Adam hardly budged when the dentist was in his mouth, pulled the teeth, irrigated the gums and scraped the asphalt off his jaw bone under the front teeth and added a few stitches to be on the safe side. The poor thing, the next day his upper lip was about 10x the size it normally is. As the morning went on, the swelling went down and he was acting like nothing ever happened. I on the other hand was still shaking from the trauma that I went through watching his teeth be pulled, stitches and all the blood.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOBc-25jOQ33fmwhxv8aUbfPgZsRzi8t4DgU4B7_pxWN2qFx2hyphenhyphenF0vpRjN3wbtEMPDCx6hPEcQ0XQruAJwAoc03aHer3INKdBPxXhBzord5Ehpwz5_8YtEACRpvWE7hRkA4ZUFQ8NM1mmW/s1600-h/P1030331.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOBc-25jOQ33fmwhxv8aUbfPgZsRzi8t4DgU4B7_pxWN2qFx2hyphenhyphenF0vpRjN3wbtEMPDCx6hPEcQ0XQruAJwAoc03aHer3INKdBPxXhBzord5Ehpwz5_8YtEACRpvWE7hRkA4ZUFQ8NM1mmW/s320/P1030331.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279894087430363298" /></a><br /><br />The next day we kept Adam home from school. He was feeling pretty good and really didn't have any serious complaints. I was fully expecting a lot of whining and crying when he woke up. He was pretty excited to have tooth fairy come so when he reached under his pillow in the morning and pulled out a $10 bill he couldn't have been more excited for his accident the day before. He had a pretty good time showing his new smile and his new found treasure.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7t5pmKeB0-OZussK69brrluismk5oqFBYpGXyTrggqSH-3MP00bVM74psdmpMU6OAsfjak9kNoqOw38zIPoe-6u78GeP9oyP3cmF8ocMrKVP2Su1ZEIHAQcTFWv8Hc81Qqsa4EG-9hc6P/s1600-h/P1030346.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7t5pmKeB0-OZussK69brrluismk5oqFBYpGXyTrggqSH-3MP00bVM74psdmpMU6OAsfjak9kNoqOw38zIPoe-6u78GeP9oyP3cmF8ocMrKVP2Su1ZEIHAQcTFWv8Hc81Qqsa4EG-9hc6P/s320/P1030346.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279894093898052818" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh4Pjo4RrKQd6OYFIQZhWp3XXzRWJKWWlI7THfMGsCHeKG4KfoVFf4WM9wSzWujEWOD-3TYog4M-NQH1RXzmpb-Qy915pn9KrY8hUyL7VX5SxNIGVFJQglqDSEs93H3cdHblVj-OI4z_SB/s1600-h/P1030348.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhh4Pjo4RrKQd6OYFIQZhWp3XXzRWJKWWlI7THfMGsCHeKG4KfoVFf4WM9wSzWujEWOD-3TYog4M-NQH1RXzmpb-Qy915pn9KrY8hUyL7VX5SxNIGVFJQglqDSEs93H3cdHblVj-OI4z_SB/s320/P1030348.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279894089508057266" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div>The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-75245006694313612702008-12-09T19:52:00.000-08:002008-12-09T20:12:27.408-08:00Seattle Seahawks vs. New England Patriots<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBg2uU5eMqmP1blyBdbdnnnGVov6mCAFbS0Zh6h5I8j9QcUrqe7r5bVMqjy1OlupNuKIfUSlFO5NzlE-0HFdvKhD304ebO0R_acVvYAdg3zS9ZiJ-b8_tOJxTpqX1aMh_U-xE0umRJWCgK/s1600-h/P1030273.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBg2uU5eMqmP1blyBdbdnnnGVov6mCAFbS0Zh6h5I8j9QcUrqe7r5bVMqjy1OlupNuKIfUSlFO5NzlE-0HFdvKhD304ebO0R_acVvYAdg3zS9ZiJ-b8_tOJxTpqX1aMh_U-xE0umRJWCgK/s320/P1030273.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278009395631070578" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibsZVsHhv95ci4DY-q8O5ChBkvpZZxpJYKzmfkjB46618vUt7x6IPmGowCxngq-I3lYZfmot2felLc87dUB9RbeW_j8BaEST2f7QQNUNm0QUnX1w8WTbG0fCWFg5ScbEl2y0Z9eTuFHPoQ/s1600-h/P1030265.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibsZVsHhv95ci4DY-q8O5ChBkvpZZxpJYKzmfkjB46618vUt7x6IPmGowCxngq-I3lYZfmot2felLc87dUB9RbeW_j8BaEST2f7QQNUNm0QUnX1w8WTbG0fCWFg5ScbEl2y0Z9eTuFHPoQ/s320/P1030265.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278009384982938770" /></a><br />Brett has found a new love.....Football. He loves to watch the game, play the game and track the stats of the players and teams in the game. His all time favorite team is the New England Patriots and he loves to watch their wide receiver; Randy Moss. Scott was able to acquire 2 tickets to last weeks game and took Brett to his first ever NFL game at Qwest field. Brett's reaction to the tickets is one we will never forget. My dad calls Brett the "old sheep dog". He never gets riled up and is content to go along with whatever is dealt his way. I told Scott not to expect a big reaction from Brett as he typically just shrugs his shoulders and says, "cool". However when he saw the tickets he just stared in disbelief and then became very emotional. When we gave Brett the tickets on Thursday he was battling a pretty nasty virus and was on his 2nd day home from school. We asked him if he thought he would be well in time for the game and he just shook his head yes. Scott and Brett caught the 9:30 ferry over to Seattle and walked up to Qwest field and went to "Touchdown City" in the Qwest event center. They have all sorts of booths set up where you can run an obstacle course, throw footballs at a target and kick field goals. Then they went into the field and watched the Patriots come out for their warm up. The Seahawks played a great game and even though they lost, Brett had the time of his life.The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-38584920668576605942008-11-28T20:31:00.000-08:002008-11-28T21:12:03.985-08:00Adam's 6th B-day<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDUOr0py_78eycj-cb6pr9O17se-Wcq2UYaLkEJobXnqSQR7FFl3ZYI68mTXW919YbCcxkI8K4fDOkEHGv1SZZUeFUAkWe7Zq1ToajOxmRNlSiKQlRUXn1wxVxs9wBMq-0rKjjeM82kmP/s1600-h/Adam+Invite3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisDUOr0py_78eycj-cb6pr9O17se-Wcq2UYaLkEJobXnqSQR7FFl3ZYI68mTXW919YbCcxkI8K4fDOkEHGv1SZZUeFUAkWe7Zq1ToajOxmRNlSiKQlRUXn1wxVxs9wBMq-0rKjjeM82kmP/s320/Adam+Invite3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273932931972053234" /></a><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); "><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="">We celebrated Adam's 6th birthday this year at the Bowling Alley.

When I explained that wasn't an option, he proceeded to tell me that he wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese because "that's where a kid can be a STAR".

Brett decided he did not want to go out trick-or-treating, instead he had 3 friends come over for the night. Try having 4 pre-teen boys down stairs playing tackle football on their knees. Talk about boy odor.....WHEW!!!! And Adam and I went trick-or-treating by ourselves while Scott stayed home with the other boys. We all had a great night and Adam was quite impressed with the bag of candy he came home with. 2 weeks later and I don't think Adam has eaten more than 3 pieces of candy.

Taylor rode the unicycle the year before and after Brett tried it for a couple of weeks decided it just wasn't for him. He found that he was a master at ball walking. With his best BRAT buddy, Nathan and Brett created their very own routine of tossing rings back and forth while ball walking. Mr. Webb their instructor said it was the best routine he's seen in awhile.

It was a great experience for him and he is already talking about playing next year.</div><br /><div><br /><br /></div></div>The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5347342195899093574.post-68024533030752344432008-11-12T19:11:00.000-08:002008-11-12T20:22:58.921-08:003 little pumpkins<div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkx4mRUfrrvJQO_aj16gfQOQBcb7mzoGUI7Mm0o951S-Kp3xy5AqZp1HQLo3iJNxxZGzGhd6l-BaA_qqFcHmKOjFjkXHJPfgayEZ9Ztu44OXs4-9NIJM2gM5IdqKwBXzJZWQZeDu-1lTTY/s1600-h/P1030120.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkx4mRUfrrvJQO_aj16gfQOQBcb7mzoGUI7Mm0o951S-Kp3xy5AqZp1HQLo3iJNxxZGzGhd6l-BaA_qqFcHmKOjFjkXHJPfgayEZ9Ztu44OXs4-9NIJM2gM5IdqKwBXzJZWQZeDu-1lTTY/s320/P1030120.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267975825335077394" /></a>Taylor, Brett and Adam had a great time creating their own pumpkins this year. Adam decided he was going to do the infamous "puking" pumpkin. After they were done they decided they would pose as their pumpkins for the picture. The only problem with Adam's is that the crows kept coming to eat the "puke". We had to put his pumpkin in the garage during the day to save it from the birds.The Knutsen Familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10083108997573167688noreply@blogger.com0
