Happy Birthday Jeanie!!!

Happy Birthday Jeanie! We wish we could spend the day with you but are looking forward to celebrating with you on Tuesday. We love you and hope you have a wonderful day! You deserve it! :)

The latest...

So, it was confirmed today that Payton is going to be a big brother! We will be welcoming baby number two into our lives around July 14, 2010. Travis and I could not be more excited. I am still comprehending the fact of having two little ones under two-years-old, but I know it will be so great. Payton is going to love being a big brother and we are looking forward to growing our family. I will keep you posted on new developments as this pregnancy progresses.

Tis the Season

The past few weeks we have been preparing for Christmas around our house. We cut down a tree at a local tree farm this year, put up Christmas lights on the house, went to get Santa pictures and this coming weekend begins our holiday parties. Hope everyone is enjoying this time of the year, all we need now is a little snow! :)Payton helping Dad get the tree straight.

Happy Birthday Kal!

This past Sunday we celebrated Kal's birthday in downtown Seattle. Jeanie, Kal, Travis, Payton & I waited in a 4 hour line for Santa pictures and then had lunch at Palamino. We had a great time spending the day with you, Kal. Hope today is filled with relaxation and enjoyment! We love you.

Happy 30th Lynnie!

Drink lots of wine on your 30th! Love you girl!

Month in Review

Sorry for the bad blogging. November was a crazy, stressful, emotional month around my household so I figured I will just do a month in review to catch you all up. We celebrated Halloween with six of Payton's cousins, so we had a houseful. The kids went trick-or-treating to about three houses and then we were done for the night. The next weekend Payton and his cousin Sophia were baptized at St. Jude's Church in Redmond. The entire family came out to celebrate including my Papa, which was so special for us. That following week my Papa became very ill and passed away, leading to lots and lots of much needed family time. We spent Thanksgiving with Jeanie, Kal, Grandpa Tom and Grandma Florence who was in town from Moses Lake. Jeanie made a beautiful dinner, we played games and had a very relaxing holiday.

Payton is growing and developing so quickly. He is walking and getting into everything. He is such a comedian too. He has this fake laugh that he does whenever anyone in the room (or on TV) laughs. He is trying so hard to talk and communicate, which so amazing to watch. Payton flirts with all the ladies we pass in the store or who look his way and is testing all of of Mom and Dad's limits. He makes me smile everyday and is such a blessing to our family. Enjoy the picts. :)

He loves shoes. No matter how gross and stinky they are.
Fun with a shower cap.

We love you Papa.

Sadly, today we lost my Papa to his battle with cancer.

Papa, thank you for all of the words of wisdom, your quick-witted comments, and of course for all the laughs we had together. I will always remember your smile. We love you and will always keep you close in our hearts.
