Father's Day

We enjoyed a beautiful, sunny day! We ate a yummy breakfast outside and spent the rest of the day enjoying the sun and swimming in the pool. Bring on summer! Happy Father's Day Dad!!!

Kiddos!

Caden and Mom

Idaho Visit

We went to Idaho Falls for Memorial weekend.

It rained quite a bit but was so beautiful. The last day we were there the weather was perfect! We enjoyed sitting out on the deck, eating my dad's amazing cooking, riding the 4-wheeler and watching the kids run and play in the fields.
We also celebrated both Mom's birthday and mine with a giant cake and

ice cream every night we were there. Idaho is great!

T-Ball

Ellyx and Mikey are on the same Tball team. At first I thought that it would be a lot of work to keep Ellyx interested and to help Mikey with understanding the game but they both love it! Ellyx is a go-getter and Mikey loves the game and wants to see all the action!

They both do a great job!

Camping April 2008

We went camping this last weekend at Tucannon. Our campsite was perfect with a little creek running through it. We went fishing and enjoyed the beautiful outdoors. It was a little chilly at night but our heater in our camper trailer worked perfect. Ellyx caught her first fish and Mikey and Caden stayed busy throwing rocks in the lake. We hope on our next trip the boys are able to reel in a big one too! We look forward to more camping trips this summer.

Bring on some sunshine!!

Ellyx's new haircut

Ellyx was so excited to have her hair cut.

She wasn't happy with the length and asked the stylist to go shorter.

She knows what she wants!

Of course she was pleased with the sparkles they added too!

Caden's new haircut

Okay, they cut off the curls and I wasn't happy about that but he wasn't exactly a peach while they were cutting it and I was just ready to get out of there! He looks like an old kid now. Ahhh! I hope the curls come back but I still think he's pretty darn cute!

Mikey as Mr. Potato Head

Gotta love this kid!

Dad is going to give him a good buzz cut here in the next couple of days.

I'll send pictures of his new cut once he gets one!

Easter

Adrianne, Kale and Jackson made a trip over from Seattle to celebrate Easter with us. We colored Easter eggs, had an egg hunt, danced some, and played the wii. We all had a great time!

April

Can you believe spring is already here? The kids have been keeping us busy and have enjoyed the sunshine and playing outside.

We've had visits from Grandma, the Dyer's and Ahma and Papa Joe. It has been nice to hang out with family!

Mikey and Ellyx are on spring break this next week and then they will start T-ball the week after that. Before we know it, summer will be here!

Our latest pictures

Winter Wonderland

It dumped tons of snow on us this last weekend! We took advantage of the weather and went sledding. They canceled school for the kids and even work for Michael so we were able to enjoy our day! There is more snow in the forecast so we will keep our fingers crossed for more school and work closures!

Caden!

He is just too much fun to take pictures of! These are some of our favorite recent pictures.

Mikey is 5!

"Cheese!" Mikey turned 5 on January 2nd. We can't believe how fast time flies. We were in Idaho Falls on his birthday so Grandma bought him a cake and he seemed to truly enjoy the singing of "Happy Birthday" and by the look on his face, we think he liked his cake too!

He amazes us and is our hero!

Our trip to Idaho

Ellyx all bundled up to help Grandpa with the snow.

Look at all the snow!

We made it to Idaho Falls to stay with mom and dad over New Years after a failed attempt the first time... the weather has been wintery and they closed the pass! It was fun when we finally made it although the temperatures in the single digits had us shivering! It was good to see a bunch of family and friends!

Football in Seattle

Take the picture before someone gets free!

Caden before losing his curls in a hair cut. They are staring to grow back now.

Our sweet kids... they truly are each others best friend

Three of my favorite people!! Cousins Abbey and MacKenzie and my Sweet Aunt Pam

We went to Seattle in December to watch the 49ers play the Seahawks. Although the game didn't turn out the way that we had hoped, we were able to see our family and have a great time! Aunt Pam took these pictures and gave them to us when we saw her and Uncle Doug in Idaho over the Christmas break. We have been lucky to see them a few times this year!

Christmas 2007

Our Christmas break has been a lot of fun! The kids have been keeping themselves busy with their new toys and our wii! Caden seems to have more fun playing in dad's work boots and hat rather then his toys, but whatever keeps him happy!

Christmas Eve

Michael & Jenny

We know our kids our cuter then us but we thought we should post a picture of us too! :)

Our night in Leavenworth, WA

We decided it would be fun to take the kids to Leavenworth for a night so they could see the Christmas lights and snow. We ended up having a great time with tasty German food, beautiful lights, lots of snow, shopping and sledding! I love the picture of Mikey and Michael sledding!Look at the excitement in his face!

Thanksgiving 2007

We ended up staying home for Thanksgiving. Although it would have been great to be in Idaho with family, we ended up having a nice dinner with just the five of us. The kids helped with the preparing of the dinner and also helped set the table. They enjoyed being a part of all the work!

Oreo Pie anyone?
