Holiday wishlist - fitgets

Here's my holiday wishlist... running gear, I finally want to jump on the fitness wearable bandwagon, a GoPro to record more memories sans phone, and a new elliptical.  But what I'd really like can't be clipped from another site - what I'd really like is art from my boyos.

Weekend roundups: Twofer

Packing two weeks' roundups into 1...

Last weekend my dad was in town and we explored the city.  We hit up the beach, the playground on Queen Anne, and did some good lego time in between.  The boys love when my dad comes to town and we do too.

This weekend flew by - Saturday morning was karate and then breakfast with our friends.  The afternoon brought our first parent teacher conference (and are psyched that the boys are doing great in school), and in the evening we had a mellow taco dinner party with more friends.

Today we made our way to my cousin's son's birthday (but for simplicity we just call him the boys' cousin).  The birthday was AWESOME.  It was at a jump house in Kirkland with black lights and glow in the dark sticks.  I think Matt played more than most of the kids, and everyone had a blast.

Taylor Twins go Rock Climbing

First off ... wow!  It's been a long time since I've blogged.  So much missed - pumpkin patch, ladies night at a nudie spa (seriously), and I turned 35.  There's the Clif Notes catch up.  This past weekend brought our boys roping in to rock climb at an indoor gym for the first time and it was a giant hit!  We've been taking the boys bouldering for a while, but never roping in.  Cole is a born natural and Wilson is learning to love heights.

Climbing was at Vertical World in Magnolia (fun fact, it was America's first climbing gym), where their friend was having a birthday.  Before climbing, all kids had to do a training session and listen to one of the teachers give a talk on climbing and roping in (I wish they would listen like this at home!)

 Post lesson, it was climbing time.  It was hard to get Cole off the wall who wanted to keep going up, up, up.  Wilson kept wanting to go about a quarter way up the wall, then go down, then up again.



















At the end of climbing, the boys both asked to sign up for more.  Looks like classes are on the horizon...
