House update

It has been a while since we have updated on the house, so here are a few pics to get you partially up to speed. New tile, new hard wood floors, new cabinets! And, since these pics, some of the kitchen cabinets have been set in place (but not yet installed) and this week the cabinets should be installed completely, the tile should be done, the interior doors should be installed.... WOW!



Jace takes Ocean Park

August 8th and 9th was the Paulson family reunion in Ocean Park Washington. This was the first opportunity for Jace to meet some of his extended family and to meet his Great Grandpa Oscar and Great Grandma Aska.

Great Grandma was the first to meet him and she was so excited to see him (and he was excited to see the cool buttons on her shirt).



Great Grandpa was ready to see the little guy next.



And here we have 4 generations of Paulsons!



And the best picture from the trip!


On Sunday we headed to the beach and Jace got to ride in his backpack for the first time. Jace loved it!
Yes, friends, the rare white dove made an appearance!
After the fantastic visit with family on the Washington coast, we were treated to a tour of the new Seahawk facility in Renton by Jace's Uncle John. The complex was amazing and state of the art. Here are a few pics from our visit.
This is the Seahawks indoor practice field. The ceiling is 95 feet tall, which gives the kickers enough room to hone their craft. The second picture shows Jace scoring the first touchdown ever. He was a natural!
Here is a picture of the indoor field from the third floor.
(Those ants are actually people!)
The Seahawk locker room was incredible.
This picture is looking west, over Lake Washington, with the new facility on the right, one of the three outdoor practice fields to the right and the 12th man flag straight ahead.
Thanks for taking us on a tour, Uncle John, we had a great time!

Jace takes Disneyland!

We caught up with John and Amy a week after their wedding at the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland. Jace and his parents flew down Tuesday evening and went to the park Wednesday through Friday and we all had a blast!



Dead men tell no tales!!

Jace shows off his inner pirate at the Blue Bayou.



Jace's first Disneyland ride was the Pirates of the Caribbean. He wasn't sure what to think of the pirates and their booty.



There was a good group of friends and family that made it down to Disneyland.



We took a break from the heat and went to the Neverland themed pool.



During our trip, we met some interesting characters.



The best part of the trip, was spending time with family.



It was a great trip to Disneyland for the Paulsons. Jace traveled fantastic and had a great time hanging with his friends, family and the Wonderful World of Disney Characters!
