Happy Father's Day to the Man I Love!

To the greatest father in the whole wide world! I love you sweetheart and am so blessed to have you not only as my husband but as a father to our beautiful daughter Eowyn.


Eowyn and her daddy out for her first bike ride!


Already lovin the fish! She would put it in her mouth if we would let her ( seriously, what is it with kids?! : )


This is one of my favorite pics! She is 3 days old and it is just precious!


Out searching for Christmas trees last year

On the top of the world with her daddy!

Ben also started a new job today at Mortgage Masters. He has been working at Kiel mortgage for the past 2 years and felt it was time for a move. He is such a hard-working, honest man that is full of integrity and I know he will do awesome. I love you sweetheart! Have a great first day!

Happy Birthday Bro!

I just love this pic! I actually took it on my phone and I'm amazed at the quality!

I love her so much. She is saying Hi, Whoa, Dad and Dog

Some fun in the sun!

It was so awesome to take Eowyn to the Tennis court and let her just roll around while we played some tennis. She has jellies on! So cute : )


I love the sun! We went to Koulon park with Cara, Justin and Daniel and had Ivars. We all crammed in one car which was a real treat ; )


A little daddy and son time at the park. Daniel was laughing so hard. Eowyn slept through the park experience. It's Justin's birthday tomorrow - happy birthday!


I absolutley love this kid. I am so happy that Eowyn has a friend like Daniel



I love you Cara! We are in for so much fun together with these kids


Just chillin in the pool with Madison eatin some watermelon. Michelle, our little ladies are so adorable!! We love you Michelle and Madison ( from me and Eowyn)


What a wonderful grandma, hanging with me in the kiddy pool til the lake warms up


Happy birthday Grandpa!! I love you


Eowyn is going for a ride in Daniels car and...


Daniel is not very happy about it!


Eowyn and Hannah are at the game rooting for their daddys!


So, we were watching Daniel and we wanted to take the kids for a walk and he didn't have a coat so yes, we put him in pink! Sorry Justin


He still loved me and let me read him some stories


Dang she looks hot. (from Ben) Glade caught this and one more small mouth on dads birthday.


I absolutley love my little girl! She turned 10 months on her grandpa's 60th birthday!! This is her celebration shirt that grandma got for her. She cut her first tooth 2 weeks ago and the 2nd one just came through yesterday. The two bottom teeth.

The Hardebeck family hiking trip

Here are some pics of the family climbing Poo Poo Point in Issaquah.
This is where the paragliders take off from. The climb is 4 miles round trip and a 2000 feet elevation gain. Everyone made it up and down alive... Even Eowyn!

We almost had to leave Lili (Michelle's little dog) behind to be claimed by the mountain. Luckily Sherpa Tom risked his own life to carry her down.

(For the bottom picture) Everyone that made the trek. From left: Steve, Maverick, Alison, Janessa, Lili, Michelle, Galadriel, Eowyn, Ben, Patti (YEAH MOM!!!), Sherpa Tom, Melody, and Matt.

The Grandparents!

I just wanted to take a minute to share how
blessed I feel to have such amazing grandparents
in Eowyn's life.

My mom and stepdad, still living in Hawaii sadly.
It is awesome to visit but way to far away!!


My dad and step-mom, they are so wonderful
with Eowyn and praise the Lord they live right
here in Maple Valley!


Ben's mom and dad, still in Honduras!! But they
will be home shortly. We all miss them but Eowyn
especially!

Our Red Mountain ski trip!

Here we are at the top of Red Mountain. It was so beautiful and refreshing!






Here we are out to dinner with everyone taking a family pic. I wonder what is going through Eowyn's mind? : )


It was so fun to be up there with our wonderful friends Erin and Ryan. We love and miss them so much



Eowyn is so hilraious, I love her sooo much!


okay, seriously, we had our own hot tub facing the mountain! We all put it to very good use


Here's a pic of the kitchen and dining room. It was such a beautiful condo


Here is Eowyn with her adorable little friend Eleanor. She is Jesse and Alison Sonnelands daughter, and they were up here with us as well. We are so blessed to have such awesome friends


Here's a pic of the living room and the view of the snow right outside. We could practically ski right back to the condo.


Here's a pic of us girls, I never quite got one of all the guys. This weekend was such a blessing and so much fun!
