Spring Sunshine

It was one of the first sunny weeks of Spring, mid-April '09. We went to Coulon Beach for a picnic with the Demars. Ryan decided he really wanted to get in the water. Well, we didn't want to go home with a completely soggy child so we stripped him.

My boys and nature

This picture was taken at Snoqualmie Falls in February 2009. Aunt Melenie came to visit. This is the only picture that came out. Gavin is 6. Ryan is 3.

Playing in the Snow

We enjoyed playing in the snow that was left after the Nutcracker.

It was the boys' idea to put a handlebar mustache on the snowman we built.

Freezing at the Nutcracker

There was a huge snow storm the day of the Nutcracker. We decided to take the bus instead of driving. It was pretty easy getting there, but during the show a blizzard started which made all the buses hours late. We spent a lot of time at several different bus stops waiting and freezing.

The Nutcracker

On December 20, 2008 Tori, Aunt Heather, Gavin and I went to the Pacific Northwest Ballet Nutcracker for a homeschool field trip. The kids had a lot of fun. They enjoyed watching the dancers and the musicians.

If there's a will...

This picture was taken December 12, 2008. The idea was to keep Aaron strapped down to keep him out of things while I babysat. He found ways around this!

Random Pics

I love this pic of Aaron and I. He just randomly started exploring my eye lashes. Too cute.

The next pic is another baking triumph of Heather's. She knew I would never bake anything to take to our co-op friends so she took care of it for me. Her "martha stewart" side really came out with this. They are homemade oreo cookies iced to spell out birthday wishes. This was for his 6th birthday.
