Thomas is 6!!!

Our precious 7 lb 11 ounce baby is now 6 years old?! Time sure has flown by....... Thomas celebrated his birthday in grand style with three celebrations. The first was last week with his Kindergarten class. Thomas and I made fun number 6 cookies to bring to school. The number 3 and number 1 were for Zac and Kelsey. The next party was over the weekend with Pop-Pop and Grandma (Jerry's parents). We had lots of fun, Zac probably had too much fun, as you can see in the picture he fell asleep at the table. The final party was on his actual birthday with a Batman theme. Jerry won the Dad of the year award for making a cool "bat cave" for batman to drive his motercycle out of. Thomas had a lot of fun and our hope that is through all of this Thomas knows what a very special boy he is.

PIRATES!!!

Thomas and Zachary are pirates looking for Captain Hook and or a crocodile that might be lurking once again in our backyard.

Look What I Found !

Well at least it's not Desitin! (see post from 3/3/09).

Blessings

The kids are being read a story by my Grandma who will be 95 on April 3rd. It is such a blessing to see the wonderful relationship that the kids have with her. We love you Grami!

A wii bit of fun

We had a fun Saturday visiting and dukeing it out on the wii with family and friends in Vancouver ( there were 11 adults and seven kids ranging in age from 9 yrs-14 months). The Grand Champion of the round robin wii boxing tournament was my Dad, somehow he avoided a photo. He did however win a really cool certificate made by Claire (Jory and Leanna's 9 yr. old niece). Jerry got a TKO against my mom, and Leanna won the match against Jory. Zac wasn't very interested in the wii, he did however find one purple sparkly high heel shoe that he walked around in for most of the day.....good thing he is only three or I might be worried :)
The visit was much too short, Leanna, Jory and Hailey (sister, brother-in-law, and niece) had to fly back to Maine early Sunday morning. We are counting down the days until we see them again in May for Dr. Jory's graduation!

Winter's Encore

For three days now we have woken up to snow on the ground. For the most part it has been only a slight dusting, but Monday morning we had an inch and a half on our deck! Snow in March in Centralia isn't unheard of, but it is quite rare. The boys of course LOVED the snow and had lots of fun playing in it. Luckily I hadn't gotten around to putting their snow suits away yet. I am quite tired of snow and am looking forward to Spring. The fact that the Crocus' are starting to come up gives me hope that Spring is coming, someday...... :)

A Sunny Day

The boys had lots of fun "helping" me plant some primroses and a hyacinth in a pot next to our front door. Its a good thing that we took advantage of the sun last week, because as I type up this post its SNOWING!

Desitin Eaters Anonymous

"Hi, my name is Kelsey and I eat Desitin." Is there such a thing as a Desitin Eaters Anonymous (DEA) group? Kelsey needs to join. Perhaps Uncle Jory could help us set up an intervention? I can see it now, all the little babies sitting in a circle talking about how their families enable them by putting the Desitin where they can get a hold of it :)
