Play Time with Mommy and Violet

Fun moments with Violet

Drum dum diddy drum diddy dum dum

Whose got the beat? Violet LOVED playing

the drums while visiting Papa and Nana.

I think she has found her calling:)

Eric also liked having the excuse to play.

Can you find the one thing that is out of place in this picture?

Here's a clue...Can you find the red ball?

Running with Dad

Dad and I went on several runs while we 

were there. Thanks Dad for helping me keep up

my miles while on vacation!

Trip to Cali-THE HUMMING BIRDS

When we got to Nana's, she had a  surprise

for us...baby humming birds! They were so cute.

Look how little they are!!! Noah accidentally hit the nest 

as he was trying to get a closer look so we had to carefully 

put them back up and hope that their mama would come

back and feed them....She did!

Trip to Cali-THE BEACH

THE BEACH

Noah loved to boogie board and body surf.

The waves were breaking really close

to the shore and the kids thought that

was AWESOME!

Violet did not really find the enjoyment of

sand between her toes.

Nana kept us all entertained with her Uke!

Eric and I at Laguna Beach! A date by ourselves. What a treat. Thank you Nana

"Legends" Dance Recital

"When I Grow Up"

Amy loves to Tap! She had a great time this year and did a wonderful job in her performance.

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful:)

Our little girl is growing up way too fast!

Yes, Ladies and Gentlemen that is me and I did dance in this recital as well.

I participated in an Adult Tap class and performed to a Van Halen mix.

I was very nervous but made it to the end. I think I even remembered to smile:)

PIcnic at the Park

We spent our lunch at the park during our

day downtown. The sun was shining and there

was a nice breeze. The kids had a great time.

Violet loves to be outside and on the go 

any time she can get away with it.

Chasing Seagulls

Again...

and again!

Violet LOVES all the attention she gets from her friends!

What a handsome boy:)

Father's Day 2008

I hadn't realized when I made Eric's Card that

Amy and Noah didn't know the song. (oopps:)

So I sang it to him and the kids read the words

and tried to follow along!

Doesn't that roll taste good. Yummy!

My wife treats me so well.

Papa Ron joined us for Father's Day.

It was great to have him there!

Last Day of School

Why are these kids smiling??? 

It's the last day of school and then Summer Vacation.

Both Noah and Amy had GREAT teachers and did really

well this year in their expeditions.

Spring has finally SRUNG!!!

I love when our flowers begin to bloom in our yard!

This is Eric's Favorite plant. It's called Lupine.

We planted strawberry plants last year and the kids love to eat them up!

The poor plants can't keep up with our kids:)

Violet's First McDonald's Playland Experiance

Violet had fun hanging out with her sister and her other sister (Sabrine) at the local McD's playland.

Finally a Different Background:)

So figuring out the whole background thing was pretty fun. Now can anyone tell me how to come up with a cute header? I need all the help I can get since I really don't have an eye for that sort of thing:) Thanks for all the comments I LOVE IT!

I Can't Believe I'm Blogging!

To anyone who knows me, I have said that blogging would take up to much of my time. Well, I just can't help myself! so I hope I can learn how to do this well and keep up with it:) At least this will make me take more pictures and become more computer savvy. I'm going to update everyone with pics from what we have done so far this year. Enjoy!

Memorial Day

People were getting soaked on the bridge behind us!

The Dragon Roller Coaster!

For our day off we had a great day as a family. We spent most of the 

day in downtown Spokane. We saw the Falls 

(which are huge this year because of all the snow we had) 

and played on all the rides! 

CRAZY Hair Day at School

Noah reminded me about 5 minutes before his ride to school showed up that it was Crazy Hair day at his school. So trying to be creative I ran to the pantry and pulled out some red Kool-Aid. Add a little bit of water and my son know had flames for hair!

Violet Learns to Walk

Violet has been our latest walker. She took her first steps on 

Easter and mastered it a few weeks later.
