Friends ;-)

Today we had a great day! It started out early for us (7:30 wake-up call... I know I'm lucky for that to be early for a young family). The boys had some really awsome bed head, so we had to capture it! What do you think?



First we went to our MOPS (Moms of Preschoolers) class which is always fun. Jude got to see some of our old neighborhood friends, Caden and Emmit, and Ethan was able to see their brother Will, who is only 2 days younger than he is. After MOPS we stuck around the area and had lunch, just the 3 of us, that is always nice to have fun-Mom-time. From there we went to our favorite store, Target!!! Of course Jude had to look at the light sabers, what's a trip to Target without it! We then went to Grandma's for a little while and then went for our playdate at Jude's bestest friend Hannah's house! I really like to go have girl time with Tristanne too.



We sure do love our close friends. Tristanne and I are always amazed at how well Jude and Hannah get along. You couldn't have 2 closer peas-in-a-pod!



Poor Ethan though, I really need to have a girl to dress up, because this is what happens when I get around girly things. But doesn't he look so cute? I think so!

More Easter!

These pictures didn't make it onto the previous blog and they are a definate must! Enjoy!

Easter!!!

So this weekend was a blast with the Easter Egg Hunt and Easter! The egg hunt was on Saturday morning at one of our neighborhood parks. There had to be at least 500 kids there! It was great! Our church organized it, since in the past the neighborhood hadn't done a great job. We thought there would be enough eggs with 3000 hidden for 3 age groups. Boy were they wrong! As you can see some kids (Jude and Ethan) only made out with one or two eggs! Adam hopes to get Safeway involved next year and hide 10,000! Then maybe it will be fair for all kids.

Easter day was relaxing. Betsy stayed the night on Saturday, since Bob was in Spain heading to Brussels. We woke up and the boys hunted for their Easter baskets. Ethan had about 5 cadbury mini eggs within a couple of minutes. The Easter Bunny left chocolate chip cookies, so Jude was munching on those instantly. How else do you spend Easter morning! From there we went to church and rocked out with our church band and listened to a good message. The sun decided to come out, so we got some lunch and took it to the park to play and picnic... although the boys weren't very hungry after so much candy throughout the day! Uncle Phil and Aunt Jacqui met us there along with Aunt B. so Jude and Ethan were feeling very loved! For dinner it was just a kid thing... if you call us almost 30 year olds kids? I made some great stuffed chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus! It was so good! Jacqui made homemade carrot cake with homemade creamcheese frosting that was so delectable! If I wasn't already so stuffed I would have had three pieces! (I already had 1 1/2 pieces - Jude's leftovers!) We then watched Jude's movie "Flushed Away" and had a fairly relaxing evening. Well as much as you can have with two "Candy Crazed Cids" that are also excited to have company over! Well that was our weekend, thankfully there weren't any upset bellies. Although we do still have TONS of candy left to ration over the next few weeks! Anyone want some? I can ship it to you if you really want it? Please!!!

The sun is shining!!!

Yeah, we finally had a great sunny day! My car thermometer said it was 70! What a beautiful day. I think it was great that I couldn't find a babysitter for the boys, so I couldn't go to work. We hit the bike store for a new inner tube for the double stroller, then the library, and then the park after nap time. The boys also played in the rock bed next to our house. What a great way to spend the day!

They say the weekend is supposed stay nice, lets hope. It would be really nice to have sunny weather for the Easter Egg hunt Saturday, even for Sunday.

Stay tuned for Easter pictures!

The Boys!

We went to Whirligig for a fun-filled family outting last weekend at the Seattle Center! Its an event that they hold for little kids in which they have numerous bounce-houses. It is very fun!!!

Viewer disgression advised!

Adam's finger meets heavy metal! Emergency Exit door at work chewed it up and spit it out!!

Welcome!

So I have decided to let people in on our lives.

We have recently moved into a condo in a great neighborhood and we absolutely love it! It's a 2bd, 2ba ground floor unit that works out great for us. The boys can be as loud as they want and they can run and jump without disturbing the neighbors. Which is a BIG help. We can't wait for the warmer weather to be here so that we can get out to the many walk-able parks. The boys are growing strong and getting so big. Jude is now 4 1/2 and Ethan is 20 months. We are coming up on Easter and very excited to for the Easter Bunny to come to our house. Our neighborhood and church are putting on an Easter Egg Hunt at one of the local parks. It is going to be a very big deal for the boys! Well I must be going now, but I will be back soon. Motherhood calls!
