Lots of Firsts!

They always say that time goes by so fast once you have kids and man is that true!  I can't believe Matthew started Kindergarten this year!

First day of school!  I didn't think I would cry but man holding back the tears was so hard!!

Ethan started little tot gymnastics and really enjoys it!!!

Grandma takes him on Wednesdays and he is a great climber. 

He was the only student in class this day so he got all sorts of personal attention, and he soaked it up!

Matthew went fishing at City Park with Alex and reeled in is first fish!!

Dilbert's first City Park pooch plunge as a "pet dog"!  He absolutely loved!!!

Family update

More cute pictures of the family and its activities. 

Ethan, now 3, and refusing to go to bed. 

Matthew did a flip off of the back room bunk beds and accidentally head butted the ceiling fan. He got a big gash in the side of his head and he broke the fan.  He likely could have gotten away without stitches but since we had our karate test that afternoon I was afraid it would bleed all over the place.  So we got it glued together.    

He was tired after all of the drama and so stayed home from daycare and took a nap. 

Sniff, Sniff.... adorable Obie!

Willoughby working hard at church. 

Such a handsome Willoughby!

Matthew just loves it when the princesses come and visit them at Goddard!

Ethan thinks the princesses area super pretty too.
Its a long story but matthew and I missed our belt permotion ceremony for our red belts.  We got there right at the end and they were willing to give us our belts anyways, 

We worked hard for this one!

Alex, Matthew, Ethan, Abbie's girl Kandance and I went to the Denver zoo for the Kaiser employee night.  Classic picture... the girl is looking pretty while the boys are stuffing their faces. 


Kandance was such a great helper!

"does any one see Ethan?"


why what big ears you have Matthew!

Celebrating Mom's 67th birthday with an ice cream cake at the playground. 

It takes a lot of hot air to blow out those 67 candles.... lol!!

I'm so happy to have my snugly Dilbert home!!!

The bushes mom planted are finally all blooming and boy are they pretty!

I love looking from my computer at work and seeing the picture of Matthew and I and the amazing art work that Mom did for me.  Reminds me that I am loved. 

So one is over 4 years old, one is 1 and a half and one is 6 months old..... which one is which.... you can't tell. 

I love this picture of Willoughby and Dilbert snuggling!

They are such sweet snuggle bugs!

Cute Pictures of all things cute!

I am so far behind on updating my blog with pictures and I just have so many cute pictures of puppies and kids... gonna post a bunch of post of just them being cute.

Discovery museum

We had to take alex to Denver to the airport so he could fly back to Portland in order to get ready for graduation.  We decided to make a day of it and go to the Denver discovery museum before hand.  We all had a great time and the boys really loved the robots exibition.





There is even fun on the outside of the museum.
