Full of surprises

We had such a fun Easter! We took the boys to a park on Saturday where the fire department was doing Easter egg hunts for all the kids. Jacob and Anthony divided up among their ages groups. With baskets in hand they were ready to go. Waiting was tricking, Jake tried to run off start with out all the other kids, too anxious and excited. But the race was on and all the kids went flying and running after eggs and candy.








The boys got their baskets very full and began eating the candy right away. Fun day, we even saw the Easter Bunny!!











We also got to have some exciting news on Friday before Easter! I got to hear the heart beat of our baby!! WE are expecting baby number 3 (14 weeks along)!! Very excited and keeping fingers crossed for a girl. We'll find out beginning of May, boy or girl! Due date is Sept. 25th, 2008. Just wanted to share the good news, most of you already know, but just and FYI! Happy Spring!

Boys having fun!

Just monkeying around with dad!! Sticker's everywhere! It was Jacob's fun idea!!

Well, thought they could use a new hair style, what do you think?

Smile big for the camera!

Fun day in Seattle

Well we jumped in the car and drove to Seattle for the day! We headed for the Science Center and played all day. We walked through the Butterfly Auditorium. So beautiful.
We ran around the singing water fountain. The boys got a little wet!

Just playing around, mirrors are fun!

Jacob was in heaven when we found the bubble/water area. He loved it and couldn't believe that he was allowed to jump in a play-at first, but quickly dove in.

Scary Dinosaur, Tony-T!

Wow Jacob very impressive climbing! Right onto the back of a whale!

We have had beautiful weather and so much sunshine, starting to wonder where the rain is?? We love the North West, paradise!

SNOW?

Well it dumped alot of snow on us on Monday! The boys loved it. Jacob kept looking out the window saying, snow! We went outside at 8:30am, simply because in Washington the snow could melt or get washed away quickly. We hiked around the neighborhood and threw snowballs with all the kids that were home from school(snow day). Anthony went back outside when Jacob was taking a nap and played with his friends, he had a blast. The sun was shining and the snow was perfect. What a beautiful day. By Wednesday it had rained and it was all gone! That's Washington.

Blankie

Jacob loves his blanket. He has to have that particular blanket and none other. He holds onto the yarn ties that are on it and twists them and brushes them softly to his face. So when its time to wash the blanket he gets pretty emotional and has to gives his goodbyes to the blanket as we put it into the washer and then the dryer.

Once the dryer is done we march into the laundry room and shout hooray the blanket is all clean. Jacob gets very excited and pulls it out and squeezes it so tightly and laughs with joy. So, to the blanket, that is so loved!

Late Christmas Pictures

Goodbye 2007

Well December is a busy month for us! This year was especially busy. But we enjoyed a very Happy Birthday for Anthony! He turned the big 5! He was very anxious and excited for his birthday! Got all the Spiderman gifts he wanted and some! Now he keeps asking "When do I get to go to school?". Oh boy, we have a long year ahead of us!!






Jacob loved Christmas because everywhere he went in saw a white haired/bearded guy in a red suit- Santa! He loves Santa. Or as he calls him "HO, HO, HO." His favorite songs are Jingle Bells and O Holy Night. He dances and sings to them.
















Tim ended the year with a bang or should I say with a "FISH ON"!!!! He was fishing in -1' degree weather in Idaho, but still managed to catch fish and loved it. He hopes for another great year full of FISHING!!
