Easter!

Now that it is summer I am going to try and get caught up on posting some pictures.  Here is Easter!

Here are some pictures from a trip to the Pacific Science Center.

I love this picture!  It looks like one of boys is hosing the Space Needle.

I had to stop Joey from freaking out when the butterfly landed on her sleeve.  Then she loved it!

Fall 2012

I just found these pictures waiting to be posted.  So here is an overview of our fall 2012.

Squishing Uncle Victor

Decorating and eating Halloween cookies!

The pumpkin patch!

The monster truck we rode at the pumpkin patch.  The boys loved it, especially Curtis!

Apple picking.  We picked over 20 pounds of apples, and ate them all.

This was Colby's fifth apple of the day.

Carving pumpkins.

Halloween!

Happy 6th Birthday Brayden!

Brayden is now 6 and a kindergartener.  He has been measuring himself almost every week, and was excited to see that he broke 4 feet. I can't believe how fast the past 6 years have gone.  I love him more every day!  Brayden has been very excited about his bird-day party for months. 

This was better than having a clown.  Brayden was super excited when he saw him walking down the street.  Thanks Chuck!

Smash those pigs!

I built an angry bird cake.  After Brayden blew out his candles he got to knock it over.  He thought that was pretty cool!  The dynamite was very yummy! 

My happy 6 year-old!

On Brayden's birthday we went to Rattlesnake lake.  It was packed, since it was also Labor Day.  But we managed to find some beach to play in.  We also took his new walkie-talkies.  We all had fun walking the trail with them.

Brayden's First Day of Kindergarten!

Brayden was super excited to go to kindergarten this morning.  This was a picture of him doing his "I'm going to school dance!"  He got dressed as soon as he got out of bed.

Brayden putting his backpack in his cubby.

Brayden found his seat, sat down, and started coloring like it was a normal day for him.  The only tears there were from Momma.

Brayden wanted to take the bus home today.  He said it was his favorite part of school today.  Colby and I were at the bus stop about 10 minutes early.  We all missed each other, but overall did good.  Brayden actually did great!

Colby was on Brayden before the bus even left.  I am so proud of Brayden!  He thinks kindergarten is awesome and I think this will be a good year.

July Fun!

On the fourth of July we went to the park for a city celebration.  The weather was great and we all had fun.  Afterwards we had some friends over for a BBQ and some kid friendly fireworks.

Colby and I saw Thomas through the fence.  And I let him walk on the train tracks.  He thought that was awesome.  He pretended he was a train.

Car wash day!

A beautiful rose from our front yard!

Our strawberry plants are doing great!  We have harvested strawberries several times.  They are so pretty and taste great too!  Yesterday I picked our first bell pepper.  It was awesome on the pizza I made.
