Candy Hunt

The day before easter we went to this really fun egg hunt, actually it was more of a candy and stuffed animal hunt, which the kids loved!!!!! We will be back next year!

You'll notice Lauren went for mostly stuffed animals and toys while connor collected all the tootsie rolls. Sorry most of this is of Joes backside.

Easter & Early Spring 2011

Lots of fun things have been happening lately, but we cant wait for summer to come!
Lauren has started a garden, nothing has popped up yet, but were hoping to grow some corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, and pumpkins and of course shes also growing lots fo flowers (her favorite). And this saturday will be her first soccer practice!!! Shes growing up way to fast. Connor is still pretty much the same a cute and happy but high maitenance little boy!

Here are some fun pics from these past few weeks.

APRIL 2011

Busy APRIL 2011 - Its finally starting to calm down after our crazy birthday month of march. I took Lauren to work with me one day last week and we meet daddy for lunch on the waterfront in Seattle, here she is on the carousel all by herself, she insisted on riding it by herself and she loved it. Driftwood Point Dash - The cold weather didnt make it fun, but they did run the kids race Looking at the water with Daddy - Connor is probably trying to find a way to jump in. Bike Riding - kind of SO Connor Loves Laurens pink bike and Lauren loves pushing it, kept them busy for quite a while. there were a few falls since neither of them really knows how to turn but they had fun! I have a feelign this will become quite popular this summer.

Connors First Birthday & Cake

Connor turned one yesterday and he is turning into one cute and amazing little guy.
He is finally starting to grow out of his colicy/tummy issues (knock on wood) and he even sleeps through the night sometimes. He's still pretty clingy and loves attention and to be held, but were ok with that, as long as he keeps sleeping more. He loves to wave bye bye and give kisses (open mouth + drool) hes getting his 4th tooth and he is eating much better than he used to. He still has some coughing issues but were hoping he grows out of that soon to, or it just goes away once this never ending cold season comes to an end. Cant wait to see him grow up even more!

OK IM DONE! Now please clean up my mess!

Lauren said it wasnt his real birthday because none of his friends were there. Little does she know she is his only friend really. Gotta love a the thoughts of a three year old, she then put pixie dust on her self and pretended to fly away. oh imagination.....

February 17th 2011

Had to share these cute photos.

Connor is still such a happy little guy (as long as you are holding him or playing with him)

Otherwise his other side comes out, and its not a happy one!

Cant believe he'll be one next month!

Lauren is 3 now! SHe can be a good little helper but has been

testing her boundaries lately, hopefully thats just a phase and

she'll go back to our sweet little helper soon!

LAUREN IS THREE!!!

Well it finally happened, Lauren is starting to grow up!
She turned 3 on saturday and she had so much fun all weekend.
She actually kept saying that "I'm having so much fun!"
We had a party on saturday for all her friends and family and went to our annual red robin birthday lunch on sunday. She had way way to much fun and has turned into such a good little girl, I cant believe shes already 3 years old!
