Love Fest '08

Valentines Day! Just another reason to party!:) We had a few little ones and their mommies over for the special occasion.


Sweetie Ella. I loved this picture.


3 little ducks all in a row.


Candee, Amanda, and Tara (and Lizzy)


Our lollipops that Em and I worked feverishly on earlier this week. We used cut out hearts as the petals and the lollipop was the center! Thanks for the great idea, Nat!


Our heart pizza from Valentine's Eve. We like to make it a week long event around here.


Handsome Devil up to no-good.


Working on our craft surprise for the daddies.



The whole gang! Thanks for coming! We love you all!!!!

Daddy Date

On Tuesday Emme and Chad went on their first official "daddy date." They went and saw the new "Beggie Tales" (that's what E calls it). It was her first time in the theater, and I think she enjoyed it! All she told me that they got some "fruit duds" and the movie was really loud and that the seats were red...hmmm..not a thing about the movie, but hey! I'll assume it was a positive experience.:) Here are some pictures of the cute couple!

On the Road to Random

Some of you know how I crave a good field trip! Here is one of our excursion pics that I took from last week. Debbie (my mother in law) drove us through Toppenish, the town that she grew up in, while we were in Washington. This is her old house where she lived until the 3rd grade! I thought it was interesting hearing her reminisce about living here. I always like a drive down memory lane!:)

Happy 30th Birthday Kelly! For my friend Kelly's 30th birthday we went to the Melting Pot restaurant downtown. It was delicious! We tried to surprise her, but being the detective that she is, she found out the day of the party...oh well! I still blindfolded her just for fun when she walked into the room!!:)



Just a random cute picture of Levi in his new snowsuit!

p.s. I realize that this is bragging, but I photoshopped the 2 pictures myself! It may have taken an hour, but it's fun playing around with the actions..;)

The Fair!

So while Bridge is off frolicking around in NC without the kids, I took em to Yakima to visit the fam. Today we went to the fair and Emme and Ella had a great time riding the kiddie rides!

Snug as a Bug

This is pretty much a regular morning in our bed. Emme loves to come in when she wakes up, whether 2 am or 7am and steal my pillow and hog my side. Stinker. And because I'm too lazy to take her back to her room, so I just shove her a little farther over to her daddy's side.
If only I didn't know better, I'd say she looks like a little angel here, no? I love this shot.

Just a Day in the Life

Here is a picture of our 8 month old cutie eating......err, opening the mail...BUSTED! He likes to shake his head "no" already!
Here is our little mommy-in-training. Already eating lunch on the run, pushing Bun-bun (who is probably trying to crawl out of the cart.)
