Drop Everything And Enjoy The Sun

We are finally having some nice weather...nice enough for no coats, no rain boots, and the need for sunglasses!  We took advantage of the weather this weekend and hiked around a local park to soak up some rays.  The garden is planted and the house is mostly clean, so that means time for play and time together.

7 Months!

 

Seven months!!!  That's really hard for this momma to believe!  Zeke has spent the last month exploring lots through new foods (his favorite this month was pumpkin) and chewing on anything and everything.  He's working on breaking through some more teeth and he is even showing off his two pearly whites when he smiles now.  Sitting up gets easier every day, but that rolling over thing still seems pointless to this little guy.  What's the hurry when your big brother will attend to your needs?  Sam helped make a special "7" rice krispy treat to celebrate Zekearoo's 7 month birthday.  Sam also wanted to make cookies, cupcakes, and have ice cream...but I said maybe we could spread those out over a few "month birthdays".  Zeke's smile is absolutely contagious and he keeps us all in good spirits.  Plus, those long lashes just melt your heart.

Hoppy Easter From Our Bunnies To You

Wishing you a very blessed Easter.  Enjoy some candy, savor the laughter of children's glee, but most importantly remember that on Easter we celebrate Jesus' love for us all.  God bless.

Spring Is Here!!

  We finally got some sunshine and warmth here.  With it being 80 degrees in Iowa lately, we needed a break from the rain that has seemed to be endless lately.  The boys and I were able to get out for a bit today and enjoy the rays before it started raining with the sun out.  Oh, Washington, we are ready for sunshine and spring.  Snapped a few quick pics on my phone of the boys enjoying the fresh air....before the rain came.

7 Years Together

We celebrated our 7th anniversary on the 19th.  Hans planned a surprise trip to Portland for the day and we took the boys to the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry....and we had just as much fun as the kiddos.  Marriage is not always easy and it is a full time job, but it is worth it.  We are blessed to have one another, our faith, our children, and family and friends who support us every step of the way.  Here's to many more years!

Sammy Wammy

He loves to rhyme (like Zekey weaky from my eaky...as he affectionately refers to his little brother) and make up funny sounding words (like flooby shmooshoo...you would have to ask him what that means).  As much as it gets to me sometimes, I would love to pause time right now.  He is a funny little man and he keeps us laughing with his antics.  Since Zeke got some photos taken, so did Sam-bones as I often call him.  And that belt buckle, let's just say he insists on wearing it so much it's like a fifth limb. These days it's jeans every day and a "stylish" shirt.  Sam says he has to be "stylin"....maybe we could all use some lessons on fashion from this boy.

Our Boys

This picture was all Sam's doing.  He just loves placing props on Zeke and taking him for rides in his fire truck (aka the couch or his bed).
