Some of the things we have been up to lately

Our trip to the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

Ryan graduated from Kindergarten
Ava ate her first ice cream cone

We went to Seaside, Oregon on vacation

Ava celebrated her first Birthday


Ryan and Sydney learned how to swing together

We played with the nerf guns
The kids hung out

Take time to smell the lilacs

Lilacs are definitely one of my favorite flowers, not only because of there awesome smell, but because when they come out it means spring is here.

All about Sydney

Sydney is truly a "middle child", poor thing, but at least I am aware of it so I try to make her feel special

here is a picture of her and dad on the swings, and "I will not fight" that she had to write for a punishment(she actually enjoyed it)

Here is Sydney at her second year of t-ball, she really loves it, especially the snacks after games

I've been waiting for this

The sun was out on Sunday, so we bundled up and headed to the park

As the kids get older winter gets harder, I feel so couped up in the house, so it was great to feel spring weather

I got Sydney and Ava some new spring dresses and Ava experienced grass for the first time

A big day for Ava

Ava is 8 months old in 2 days and she sure is a big girl now.
Today she got to take a bath all by herself! So, there is one good thing about having the bathtub right next to the kitchen sink, I could wash dishes and still be a good mom and not let my baby drown. 3 inches of water some bath toys and she was set. She learned how to lay on her belly and not get the water in her face, how to drain the tub, and how to scoot to the faucet. That was when I decided it was time to come out and she yelled at me until I made her laugh and then she thru up.
What a day, and that was just a half an hour!

My kids will be kids

On the way to pick up Ryan from school today, Sydney spent about 5 minutes trying to see her chin.

I have sweet match-making skills

Saturday night Nicole and Geoffrey got engaged, thanks mostly to me

About 8 or 9 months ago I brought these 2 together (maybe not entirely by myself)

Everything I knew about Geoffrey made me think he was perfect for worm, he went to church and he was single, what more could you want?!

I didn't even realize he looked like Hugh Grant, what a bonus!

Well, I know a bit more about him now, and I'm sure that they can find something in common, and they will be very happy together.

Welcome to the family Geoffrey!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEOFFREY

Geoffrey, my sisters boyfriend and Travis' BFF, Celebrated his 24th birthday on Saturday.

Josh and Becky

Aimee and Hunter

I can't wait 'til summer

I was organizing my picture cd's and thinking about our plan to go to the Oregon coast this summer, so I thought I would put some pictures up of our past trips.
