Goofy Girl

Jenni took a couple of pictures of Colby while we were hanging out at the Muehlenbruch's. She is quote the ham ;)

Valentines Day

Jason and Ben planned an awesome Valentines Day for Jenni and I-- Pedicures and Starbucks in the morning and a yummy dinner at Indochine in the evening!This is the 6th Valentines Day in a row that we have spent with the Muehlenbruch's... we wouldn't have it any other way :)

Fun Age

Cade and Colby are at a really fun age and growing up so fast! They are just happy little kids whose vocabulary and abilities grow daily! I love that we can have conversations with them, that they can help us cook, they play together and are "pretending" a lot. Last weekend at Brett's 2nd birthday party was no exception! They had a blast playing with all of their friends. These are the pictures Jenni took of our big kids! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT!

Christmas Jammies

This is the second year our friends have gotten together to get pictures of kids in Christmas jammies. We plan to "force" them to do this until they are out out of college or married- can't you just imagine our Christmas jammies picture 18 years from now....!?!?!? ;)

(it was a little incentive to smile for the pictures)

Blake's 3rd Birthday Party

On December 19th, we took the kids down to Olympia for Blake's 3rd birthday party. It was held at the Hands on Children's Museum from 3 - 5. The kids had a really good time and wore themselves out running around playing at all of the different stations!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!

Red Barn Tree Farm

This is our third year cutting down a Christmas tree from the Red Barn Tree Farm. Each year is more and more fun as the kids get older! Cade thought the train was pretty cool and Colby liked wandering through all of the trees. We went home with a good lookin' Douglas Fir! Looking forward to decorating it tonight.

Halloween 2009

We had a pretty low key Halloween. Spent time with the kids during the day and then went to the Schakel's for some trick or treating. Cade and Colby did pretty well- but toward the end you could tell that their little legs were t-i-r-e-d!! Looking forward to next year when they can really bring in the loot :)
