Our Little Lady Turns Two!

April 7, 2008

Annie is a love and we are so excited to celebrate two years with her. She is a blessing from heaven. Her brother Nathan loves having her here with him. They are good friends and really love to play with each other. She does have a scream that could break ear drums but a smile that warms hearts!

Getting ready for her dog party!

Annie is in love with dogs. We dog walk a beautiful lab named Hannah most days. This is Annie's favorite part of the day. Even when she gets knocked down by her tail! So we had to have a dog party for her this year! We played doggie doggie where is your bone and find the dog footprints.

So Yummy - Dog Cake!

You've had a birthday shout hooray! We want to sing to you today. One year old-and happier too! Happy Birthday to Annie!

"On our Way to the National Kite Flying Festival"

Spring 2008

We have loved our bike trailer we try to ride it whenever we can. The kids are getting quite sung in it though -but with a bag of popcorn they are good to go!

Each year there is a Kite Flying festival on the National Mall. We have made this a family tradition. We take a kite down and and try to make it fly. I must say I am married to one the the best kite flyer's around. He can get any kite up-in. My mom bought him a 3-d pirate ship kite last year. It is so cool to watch him get that up in the waves of air!

The next generation of amazing kite flyer's!

Nathan did a great job flying his kite flying his dragon kite.

Fun Spring Classes

Nathan was in a class called "Little Olympians" spring 2008. He learned how to play all the sports really well and got a lot of good exercise!

Ms. Michelle was his teacher- he loved her. Gave her a kiss at the end of each class!

"Family Gymnastics"

Ribbon Day-Take a bow!

Nathan loved the foam pit and Annie loved swinging on the bars she was a little monkey!

Happy Easter 2008! We were so lucky to have the Easter Bunny "Uncle Scott" make it to our house this year! He hopped around giving special treats to all the kids. We had a big Easter dinner with close friends at our home this year. It was a very memorable Easter and we hope to make it a tradition.

Smile little bunnies!

What a delicious egg cookie!

Best bunny friends! Abby and Annie

You go Bunny!

Annie did not quite know what to think about this funny looking bunny! She just stared and stared at him.

The ward egg hunt. Very chilly day!

We had the Richards over to decorate Easter Eggs. Lindsay and I made the kids decorate in their diapers!

Lindsay Richards had a "Happy Spring Party" at her home it was the highlight of my spring. She made a delicious lunch with amazing favors! The children enjoyed a fun Easter egg hunt.

Nathan found the Golden Eggs-how lucky!

Thanks Lindsay for a great party. We sure have missed you and your family since you moved to Oregon!
