All 4 Kindergarten classes including Madison's class performed a little Christmas Program.
It was just so stinking cute! She was so excited to sing all the songs she learned for it.
Can she really be this big?
Kennedy was very proud of her little sister. She took pictures and video to catch every moment.
I'm dreaming of a White Christmas....we are getting it! It has been a week and a half of the awe of all this snow we have been blessed with. We normally don't get this much or for this long anymore. Gavin and the girls playing late at night!
They were in HEAVEN!
In the years past the girls would go out for a little bit before being too cold and wanted in. Not this year...

They are out for hours and just having a ball! Thank you Lord for this gift! :-)

This is the grape picker machine. It took them 2 days!

This is the excited look on their faces when we started on the rides.

What a fun day with our friends the Boegers today. Drove 20 min. to the San Diego Zoo.

We rode the double decker bus for a tour around the zoo.

Gavin did so good. He loved the bus ride and anything in the water. :-)
The Orangutans were hilarious. Very entertaining.....
2 hippos were chasing each other back and forth in front of the kids.
Madison & Gavin LOVED the turtles....
The Polar Bear was hiding up above so we couldn't see him, so we got a picture here of the statues. The kids have been having so much fun together. Gavin is like a little brother.

2008-04-07T21:54:00.001-07:00

Happy 2nd Birthday Gavin! We met Aaron & Melissa today in San Clemente, CA. They stayed with Aaron's sister, Kristy for a couple days until we got in last night. They will then stay with us in our timeshare in Oceanside, CA for the rest of the week. We met at the beach for a BBQ & relaxing in the sun. The kids had a ball in the sand and splashing in the ocean. What a great day to start off our week in Cali.
Two little buddies. Maddie just LOVES her Gavie!

Look at those baby blue's!

It snowed! I know? March 26th, 2008 who would have thought? We were all so shocked. When we sat down for dinner it was coming down in huge chunks. So of course the girls had to get out there. They were loving it!
Who can resist doing a snow angel?

We called our neighbors, The Boegers to come on outside for a few minutes in the snow.
Next thing you know Evan has us at the park to sled down the hills. I don't know who was having more fun, Evan or the kids.
It was starting to get a little dark, but the kids were having a blast!

Aaron & Gavin taking a turn pulling the sled back up the hill.

Evan was so happy it snowed when he was home. Most time we get snow is in the night or morning while he is at work. It was about 4 inches at this point tonight. Fun, huh?

2008-03-26T22:26:00.001-07:00

On our way to church. Didn't want to forget to get a picture of the girls in their Easter dresses I got them in New York.
Went to Aaron & Melissa Boeger's for a wonderful Easter dinner with our family & friends. The girls had a blast coloring a couple dozen eggs.
Our newest Rockstar practicing our new game, "Rockband". We have been having a blast!
After a day at Boeger's everyone came over to try out Rockband. It was so much fun watching and hearing everyone rock out. It is SO much fun!

2008-03-12T20:55:00.000-07:00

In Memory of our sweet boy, Austin. Today he turned 11 years old. Oh how we miss you. My heart aches..... Austin & his little buddy Lauren Wolf. 2 weeks before he passed away. Who would have knew?

2008-03-03T13:19:00.001-08:00

After church we went out for a fun lunch with our little family and off to Pt. Defiance Park to feed the ducks. The girls loved it! It was a beautiful day. We enjoyed our time so much.

After feeding the ducks we went home for Daddy to take the motorcycles out for a few to keep them running during the winter. This was Kennedy & Madison's first time on a motorcycle. Kennedy was really nervous. Evan just went up the block to see how she would do. She loved it and told him to keep going. Madison hopped right on with no fear. I think the girls are hooked! :-)

2008-02-15T09:49:00.001-08:00

Here's an updated picture of the playhouse with the rugs, chairs and stuff in it. :-)
Many of you have asked to see the playhouse Evan has been working on for a LONG time. He definatley out did himself in doing this. He had alot of fun doing this for the girls. And girls just LOVE it!

Real hardwood floors with a comfy loft.
I know... even a TV. :-)
We've had 4 kids up there in the loft at a time. That is where they like to hang out the most.

Even a skylight....

2008-02-10T18:31:00.001-08:00

They are the best gift in the world!

After receiving new earrings for Christmas from her Papa. She woke up the day after Christmas saying, "Mom, I'm ready!". So we went down to Claire's with her friend Emma Thornton and they both got them done. They were both unsure once they got in the chair but did great and are now little ladies. She loves them and reminds me several times a day to clean her them. She can't wait until she can take the studs out and wear dangly ones. :-) She is growing too fast!

2007-12-14T15:53:00.000-08:00

Liz, Holly, Nicole, and I in New York last weekend for a day of fun, shopping.

So my favorite part of New York City is Central Park. Ahhh. It's so gorgeous and so HUGE. We only spent time at one end of it and enjoyed every moment. I took TONS of pictures. If you ever go...you have to spend at least the afternoon in the park. You won't regret it! :-)

We learned to really love the subway system. Ahhhh....our feet were killing from all the walking.

Rockefeller Center

2007-12-14T15:46:00.000-08:00

We didn't have the time this year to go to a tree farm or mountains to find the perfect tree, but to go to a local tree lot and pick one out this year. The girls didn't care, they loved all the choices. We always set up the kids artifical tree in the familyroom, but this year we decided to get that real, fresh smelling tree for our media room. Nothing like the real thing! :-)

2007-11-14T22:06:00.000-08:00

This is the beginning of a new day.
God has given me this day to use it as I will.
I can waste it, or I can use it.
I can make it a day long to be remembered for its job, its beauty, and its achievement;or it can be filled with pettiness and ugliness.
What I do today is important, for I am exchanging a day of my life for it.
When tomorrow comes this day will be gone forever, but Ishall hold something which I have traded for it.
It may be no more than a memory; but if it is a worthy one,I shall not regret the price.
I should like it to be gain, not loss; good, not evil;success, certainly not failure.
So here is a day and here am I.
God will not expect more of me than I am capable of giving,but he will expect my best.
There will be beauty and I must not miss it.
There will be cries of people in distress, and I must hear and answer.
There will be moments of temptation, but I must not yield nor be impulsive.
There will be opportunity for good, and I must be ready.
And then when night comes, may I look back without regret, and forward with a radiant spirit and a thankful heart.

Our family went with the Boegers to the pumpkin patch. And oh how the kids had fun!

2007-10-15T11:40:00.000-07:00

We finally got to use it! Evan lit it the other night for first time with his sister, Lue, friend Kristen, and I. It was so beautiful! And pumps out the heat? It was incredible! I am so proud of my husband and how hard he worked on this thing. He has put hundreds of hours on it and other than some cosmetic work on the back, its done and ready to use. We are going to have many nights with friends and times alone. Fun, Fun! You have to come see it for yourself~

2007-10-15T11:20:00.000-07:00

My sweet Madison & I went to her preschool pumpkin patch field trip. They had this cow ride pulled by the tractor, they were able to play around in this playarea filled with corn kernals, ride a toy tractor, learn to rope a cow, go through a corn maze, hayride, and pick out a pumpkin as big as you can carry! It was so fun. The weather was crummy but that didn't stop the kids from having a blast!

Even with the pooring down rain didn't stop Madison from playing

Madison so excited for the petting farm!

Hay ride anyone?

The first picture of Evan and the girls was from today in Hearldsburg, CA. It is a really cute little village community. Evan, the Girls, and I went by ourselves there for lunch after spending time at the pool this morning. The next pictures were from yesterday in San Francisco. It was very windy as you can probably tell. But other than that, it was a beautiful day. We are all in our condo relaxing for the evening and will soon be getting ready to leave tomorrow morning to head back home. Oh how I am gonna miss this sun. ;-(

Hope your all doing well. See you soon!

2007-04-10T18:31:00.000-07:00

Yes, even on vacation we colored easter eggs and had our own easter egg hunt here in the condo. Yesterday we spent time here at the timeshare in the pool then took the girls to the driving range at the golf course here. It was Kennedy & Madison's first time and they did really good. Kennedy is a natural. She would hit the balls straight everytime. Madison although couldn't get holding the clubs the right way, did pretty good for 3 yrs. It is something we definatley want to start doing with the girls more.

Today we had a lazy morning as we have all week then packed up and headed to Bodega Bay. Here are a few pics from today. Keep checking throughout the week.

Love and miss you all!

2007-04-08T16:28:00.000-07:00

Well we are finally here. A long drive Friday into Grants Pass, OR for the night. Up early for breakfast and back on the road to arrive in beautiful Windsor, CA. A great night sleep, big breakfast and off to the Beringer Vineyards for winetasing. Beringer is a huge place and was so fun to visit. If your ever in the area, I suggest checking it out. We just came back to rest for awhile and probably take the girls in the pool here soon. I just wanted to get a few pictures out of the family today.

I was just sitting here visiting several of my friends blogs to catch up and see how they are doing. Doing this I realized it has been several months since I have posted anything. Sadly, I have no pictures to post. Ugh. Sorry.
Liz, Paul, Mark, and Erica are going with Evan, the girls, and I to Windsor, CA. We leave Friday afternoon for a 12 hour road trip down to California for a week. We are all so excited and have been waiting for this trip for months. We'll be in the Napa Valley just North of San Francisco. SO EXCITED!

So I am telling you all this to let you know I will definatley have pictures of our trip coming your way. Love to you all!

The girls enjoying the snow that closed school once again.
The girls and Mommy loved having an extra morning to sleep in. :-)

Here is a picture of our snowfall last night. I was gone at a meeting while it was snowing for 3 1/2 hours when I took this.

Here it is Jan. 2nd, 2007. How the last few weeks just flew by. We had a wonderful Christmas. Christmas Eve we had my side of the family over late afternoon through evening. Liz & I made our traditional lasagna dinner that my Mom made every Christmas Eve I can look back too. We also did our 2nd annual baking day with just us sisters. Liz, Erica, and I. Kennedy & Madison helped with the taste testing. ;-) We had Evan's sister, Lue, Chuck, Charissa, and Chaz came to stay with us late Christmas Eve for a few days. Christmas Day we had both sides over for dinner and played games. So nice. We had a great time with everyone. You'll see some pics in the snow when we took the kids up to Snoqualimie for tubing one day. They had a blast!
Here are a few pictures to show of the events.
Happy New Year to you all!

Nothing like friends!

I got a couple new pictures for you! It took Robin to remember her camera to bring these to you. We went up to Seattle last night to meet Robin, Lauren, and Olivia. We went and looked at the different gingerbread house displays, all went for a horse drawn carriage ride downtown, and dinner at Cheesecake Factory! The girls were so excited to be with their friends. I was happy to get up to Seattle to see it decorated for Christmas one last time. Love to you all.

I am sorry I havn't posted anything in a while. I have been terrible at remembering to take pictures lately. We have been busy with preparing for Christmas and work.
We went away last week to Ocean Shores for a couple days, the last day to have a terrible wind storm that took the power from 700,000 people just in King County alone. The fun part was my Brother, Mark and Sister in law, Erica were out of power for 3 days. We got to have them stay with us! Yeah! It was so fun having them.
The girls are out of school for Christmas break, so today was a lazy morning for us all. I have a few more presents to wrap and lots of cleaning to get done before Sunday. Evan Sister, Lue and family are coming to spend it with us this year. We are excited to have them. It's going to be a wonderful Christmas!
I hope your all doing well and enjoying each day up to Christmas Day. Love you all!

I know it's not much snow. But these 2 little girls are so excited. We have had traces of snow the last couple days and we've had to leave first thing in the morning, so they havn't been able to play in it. We got a little more last night and with the mix of that and the ice under the roads, the school's are closed for the day. So my girls couldn't wait to get out there and play.

Breakfast with a view! Our little breakfast nook was wrapped around with glass.
I think the girls were almost loving the city as much as Mommy. Starbucks across the street, a cute Marketplace for groceries 2 blocks away. Now we have to convience Daddy to live in the city! ;-)

It's a little blurry, but that's the view from the living area in Vancouver B.C. where Evan, the Girls, and I stayed for a couple days before Thanksgiving. We were on the 19th floor, and that's the Sheraton down below. Love the city!

Yes that is snow. We went up high enough that we were riding in around a foot of snow. Rebecca and I were getting stuck in it, so we turned around.

2006-11-20T10:03:00.000-08:00

We finally made it up to the top of the ridge, you can see how close we are to Mt. Rainier.

Right now (11:30am) 6 years ago today, our Kennedy Joy came into this world. After losing Austin and having empty arms for a year. God blessed us with a beautiful girl to raise to know him. And have we done that. She is the most precious, sensitive little girl who will tell you she loves God first, then her family second.

She woke up this morning by Madison and I singing Happy Birthday to her. She was smiling with her eyes still closed. Then sat right up and asking to open a present. Madison gave her Hello Kitty woolen hat, and gloves. It has gotten cold now in the mornings, so she has asked for some warm gloves.

Our little baby has turned into a young girl. How could this happen so quickly? Where is the time going? This is a reminder to truly cherish each day with our kids.

Happy Birthday Kennedy!!!!
We love you!

Ahh. This is the life!

2006-10-20T15:38:00.000-07:00

She had a hard time picking out which one she wanted. A little overwhelmed with so many to choose from.

2006-10-20T15:37:00.000-07:00

Little cheesy grin!

2006-10-20T15:34:00.000-07:00

She is such a big girl now. Where is the time going?

2006-10-20T15:32:00.000-07:00

With Papa retired now, it is so nice to be able to do things like this with him.
