What I want to be when I grow up!

I just wanted to give a quick update as to what the kids said they want to be when they grow up! Samantha said that she wants to be an inventor or veterinarian.

Lauren wants to be a ROCK STAR!

Kate and Alex are still holding out...so far they want to be Barbie!

The weigh in!

Kate and Alex turned 18 months! Here are the current stats!

Kate: 27lbs (75-90%), and 33" tall.

Alex: 24lbs 6 oz(50%), and also 33" tall.

They are happy and healthy!!

Love to all our family!

Dancing with Rudolf

Here you can see the kids dancing with Rudolf at Snowflake Lane!

New Years!

We had such fun on New Year's with the David Kremer clan! Here are a few images from the night and the next morning after our sleep over! We had fondue, cheese balls, yummy apps and champagne at midnight - we were actually still awake! We played a little Rock Band too! We figured that we had 11 people sleeping in our house that night...what fun!

Andrew with Alex!

I love my daddy!

The big girls being "big".

Little brother down...girls got him covered!

Christmas 2008

Here are few pictures of the kids and Lupita during Christmas.

Winter Storm 2008

We loved the snow! We spent all the time we could outside making snow forts, building snow men but most of all sledding! The key was make sure you use the bathroom before you get dressed, dress warmly - no summer dresses, and bring snacks! We had a great time in the snow and it also brought all the neighbors out! 

Lauren turns 4 years old!

Lauren turned 4 on December 16th! She had a great birthday - Daddy's special pancakes and a new bike! As soon as the snow melted she was outside riding in her summer dress - why wouldn't she? Lauren loves to play dress up, go to school and play with her friends. She is very observant, snuggly, sweet, loves "special" time, reading, signing and dancing. Her latest phrase is "Are you ready to rock?". We love our little princess!

Snowflake Lane in Bellevue

One night we fired up and took the kids and went with the Maggiore family down to Snowflake Lane. We saw the drummers, Frosty, a pretty snow princess, penguins and many other characters. Here are a few pictures of the kids!

Christmas Tree 2008

We set off to cut down a Christmas tree in North Bend, after arriving it was clear all the good ones were in the precut area. So in order to get the "full experience" we cut off the bottom!

Alexandra - Alex

Alex will also turn 18 months tomorrow! What can we tell you about this little pistol! She loves to be held, give kisses, snuggle with her cloth, try on shoes and accessorise. She also loves to dance (she has a cute little hip swing) and sing (mostly to Barbie songs - she actually knows most of the words). What she does not like is for you to set her down EVER. She also calls everyone Mommy...we are working on that because after your name is called 50+ times in 30 seconds you want to change your name! She is also the biggest flirt! 

Kate - Katers

Kate is going to be 18 months old tomorrow. Here is what we know about Kate so far....she is sweet, loves Christmas ornaments (we only had 1/2 of the tree dressed), she can say Santa (so clever), ball, Zeus and shoes among many other words. She loves elephants, kitty cats, her snuggly butterfly blanket, biting Alex when a hand waves in front of her mouth. What she does not like is ANYONE taking ANYTHING from her! She is a girl who knows what she wants and under no uncertain terms will tell you, and everyone else, about it! I almost forgot to mention that she loves Barbies, dancing (she is good) and singing!

The sunrise from our back deck...

The sky behind our house provides such a beautiful view and array of color!

Watching the sunrise....

I used to think my mom was nuts as she always commented about the beauty of the outdoors. She would say, "Did you see the mountains, aren't they beautiful!" And our answer would be, "yyyeeesssss mmooommm". Well it ended up rubbing off and now you see our beautiful girls looking outside at the sunrise and yes the mountains!! I love you Mom!

Dinner at the Pietsch's

This is us attempting to capture a picture of all the kids! We had such a fun time over at the Pietsch's house! And when we get together this is a little bit of what you see! 7 girls! Giggles, curls, pink, dress up, signing, dancing and growing friendships!  Thanks for having us over!

Lauren Bowling at Rex & Ruby's Birthday Party
