T-Ball

This was Ethan's first week of T-ball. Pat and I were amazed at how well he did. He loved every minute of it! For only one practice and these pictures were from the first game he really has it down. He can tell you pretty much anything about it. Where to go once you hit the ball and he will be happy to tell you all the base names! I think we might have a pro in our future!!!

He will be playing for the next 6 weeks with a game every Saturday. It is so fun seeing our little guy enjoy something so much. Looking forward to our next 5 Saturdays at the ball-field!

Presley's Three Today

Can't believe that today my little girl is three years old!!! Today we went up to Bellevue and had lunch at Red Robin and then went to the Children's Museum. She seems so grown up!
Presley was very excited about the Cinderella cake that I made. She said WOW MOM! It tasted great but I wasn't that happy with how it turned out. I will have to keep practicing. Maybe I should take a cake decorating class! The little b-day princess is all tuckered out and in bed! She is partied out for the day!

Field Trip to the Children's Museum in Tacoma

Ethan had a field trip last week at the Children's Museum in Tacoma. Ethan had a lot of fun playing with is classmates and his sister was always right by his side. They had a really great Art room with crafts which both kids were all over!
Presley is so looking forward to going to Preschool next year!

Not So Boring Anymore!

So here is our new wall. I am so happy with how it turned out. I really think it gives a finished look to the Living room. My friend Heather has her own Vinyl Business and was able to take the wording I wanted and come up with a really cool design. You can check out her website at www.woodenwordsgallery.blogspot.com, also my friend Jenny took our pictures she is very talented as well. You can check out her website and www.jennyjoyphotography.com. I am ready to start doing another project. I might not want to ended up moving by the time I am through!!! Actually I probably will. HA, Ha.

Fireproof

Pat and I watched this movie last night and I highly recommend it! If you have a great marriage or your marriage is on the rocks it is a great movie to watch! The acting isn't the best but there is so many great messages! You will defiantly look at marriage and life differently!

A boring Wall

OK so here is a really boring wall right when you walk into our house. About a year ago we had my friend Jenny take professional pictures of us on the beach. Well I have finally got around to getting all of our pictures matted and framed!
No more boring wall stay tuned to see what we did!

Caught!

I always catch Presley off doing something mischievous. A couple of days ago she got into my handbag and decided she wanted LIPS on! She looked like such a clown!!! It totally made me laugh and so I couldn't be mad at her.

Happy Valentines Day

Valentines Day was a very laid back day. We took the kids to Target to pick out a leapfrog game and then came home. I made a cake while the kids played. It didn't turn out like I wanted but it was still good. That night we went to my parents house for dinner.
Pat and I celebrated the next evening with dinner downtown Seattle and then we had tickets to see the Lion King! It was a great evening!

Last week we were over in Idaho celebrating my Grandma Juanita's life. She passed away on Wednesday. Though it was a very sad time it was nice to see family that we don't get to see very often. I even met some of my Grandma's sisters and brothers that I have never met before and cousins! The kids had a great time playing with their second cousins!

Bailly Bowl aka Superbowl

Super Bowl Sunday was spent at The Bailly's house. It was a great time. Here is Jenny, Karissa and I sporting the super cool 3-D glasses. Above is the Foot ball cake I made. I think it turned out pretty well. I made the chocolate butter cream frosting and in the center I made a caramel butter cream frosting. It was super yummy!

Build a Bear Workshop

About a month ago we took the kids to Build a Bear. They received gift cards for x-mas so we drove up to Grandpa & Grandma G's house and then headed over to the mall to do some building. What a fun experience plus they thought it was pretty neat to use their build a bear credit cards aka gift cards!!! Here are some cute pictures of the day.
