She has such a peaceful spirit. We are thrilled to have her and are blessed everyday by her love and calming demeanor.

She was a week overdue an my doctor didn't want to wait much longer. So, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">friday</span> night we left Trader <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Joes</span> about 6pm. I thought I might be having contractions, but I wasn't sure, which means they weren't very bad :) Well, we checked into the hospital at 8:30pm and they weren't sure if they were going to keep me because they didn't think I was really in active labor...about a half an hour later they checked me and said, I guess we don't need you to walk around the hospital for an hour... it is time to get you to a room. Our sweet little angel was in our arms at 10:32pm. It was definitely my easiest labor and I feel so blessed to have been able to have her so quickly and without any drugs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nFqOSDnI1Z4eCs2TYVjm0rTM6rY-95XC9zLshTIzgMONd7aBsthjLYU6hiirlWSaA6zVkPZ6XleLTEwUOPK4MKnAIuE7VBK2nKHIuZq5U7HVRm5VyXkN6GP73KIBG_aKcGaHms0i5-pA/s1600/e8.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 213px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597407017132174546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nFqOSDnI1Z4eCs2TYVjm0rTM6rY-95XC9zLshTIzgMONd7aBsthjLYU6hiirlWSaA6zVkPZ6XleLTEwUOPK4MKnAIuE7VBK2nKHIuZq5U7HVRm5VyXkN6GP73KIBG_aKcGaHms0i5-pA/s320/e8.jpg" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8t4UPvAKlHM1QPbeyOmePxexxOcfSceuCQ7_AH6iYk8a7wJGvFb8weIWqaNaStrTEcoOAgV9GRbNGBfkrVf3HKiV3TG5P2QfsoX9yCFXHWTsZBboLMjGte-rPbNMYxQ_JVqMBddc_qKZS/s1600/e5.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 218px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597407012697168098" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8t4UPvAKlHM1QPbeyOmePxexxOcfSceuCQ7_AH6iYk8a7wJGvFb8weIWqaNaStrTEcoOAgV9GRbNGBfkrVf3HKiV3TG5P2QfsoX9yCFXHWTsZBboLMjGte-rPbNMYxQ_JVqMBddc_qKZS/s320/e5.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><br />She has been such a fun addition to our home.

I used to take Dylan there before we had Peyton...<br />It was fun to watch Dylan and all of his classmates run around the farm, dig for worms, run through the maze, pet the animals, and finally pick out their pumpkins. As we were heading back to the cars, Dylan discovered this fabulous puddle. He had his boots on... and I figure what good are boots and puddles if you can't jump in them every once in a while. So, I let Dylan venture out to the middle of the puddle. Some of the other boys in the class thought it looked like fun, but their parents weren't exactly thrilled with the idea. Not wanting to set a "bad" example I told Dylan he would have to save his jumping for later :)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfnXz0pucv70hzGL3PsmMulEHNs4g9im0eBxzFA0ajYGU6YEpTAU5RK2B4ip99fH_I0Nr3g8Y5yCU36t9je2PIivOezzzR5n-TR0zfkOGHnIUXa15ZAaVqvZ3NLeG4C4Vw5KTe8Q5B-2s/s1600/IMG_4402.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjfnXz0pucv70hzGL3PsmMulEHNs4g9im0eBxzFA0ajYGU6YEpTAU5RK2B4ip99fH_I0Nr3g8Y5yCU36t9je2PIivOezzzR5n-TR0zfkOGHnIUXa15ZAaVqvZ3NLeG4C4Vw5KTe8Q5B-2s/s320/IMG_4402.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459862007366329122" border="0" /></a>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-10778583514392011642010-04-19T17:00:00.000-07:002010-04-19T17:00:03.501-07:00I have a FIVE year old!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUTOCYvhrJa_SPAlPjNcAwZaPgCsyGW2CURFnAeBBDSuxU1v_5WMmK5HRVrUGyaypwxgfn12g52OyzB6SgwNQEl2OZFgWPjUTjn6f9KFln_bGRc4GPGJTqMLbdDZqxm-dxHy-pMb6QpLDk/s1600/IMG_4367.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUTOCYvhrJa_SPAlPjNcAwZaPgCsyGW2CURFnAeBBDSuxU1v_5WMmK5HRVrUGyaypwxgfn12g52OyzB6SgwNQEl2OZFgWPjUTjn6f9KFln_bGRc4GPGJTqMLbdDZqxm-dxHy-pMb6QpLDk/s320/IMG_4367.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459858155324393634" border="0" /></a><br />I still can't believe it sometimes. Dylan turned five at the end of September. He is such a joy to have in our home. I truly feel blessed everyday that his little spirit came to our family. He is an amazing example to his little brother and to PJ and I. He absolutely LOVES science, he would love to do an experiment everyday. Unfortunately, I am not that amazing of a mother, but I do try to fit them in whenever we can. He loves to make inventions out of our recycling, concoctions out of anything he can mix together. And if all he has available is a pen and paper you will find him drawing his inventions... One of my favorite was his water purification machine. He is very thoughtful in his actions and in life. He really wants to do what is right, and he loves school.

So, Dylan started the day with breakfast in bed. He had to wait for PJ to get home from work so that he could open his presents and then off to Red Robin and Chucky Cheese. The boys love Chucky Cheese, but we don't love the food... so we get the best of both worlds :) They get to have fun playing games, and we get to have decent food, they get an ice cream sunday and are sung too... it works out great for everyone!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhElecA4IUsCkKcJDXJRqeInyXvOTNvv7QKViLp-_8jQAPxQms-kBoSckbFKCem7b1Z8M63Qy9d-CYCqQVwxJwOUTHQmw9Fld_rYYLwTyL4a8UdzGDiZo1yWF5RfxUhpRTou_7oVyrXqjRb/s1600/IMG_4332.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhElecA4IUsCkKcJDXJRqeInyXvOTNvv7QKViLp-_8jQAPxQms-kBoSckbFKCem7b1Z8M63Qy9d-CYCqQVwxJwOUTHQmw9Fld_rYYLwTyL4a8UdzGDiZo1yWF5RfxUhpRTou_7oVyrXqjRb/s320/IMG_4332.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459857045940523346" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrqgKA0pxQgRHZB1y32vq1WKtnZjlrGhC8UMpOxEHmpbgsKKRlQ_pFHPKZMZOPuQEHPSO18yVYLSM9S0WHOh80cTWl0gGQwEasew4Cpje1e5oFAbC59E9QL8CX2jTrxbaoCIOVpFXme1n_/s1600/IMG_4323.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrqgKA0pxQgRHZB1y32vq1WKtnZjlrGhC8UMpOxEHmpbgsKKRlQ_pFHPKZMZOPuQEHPSO18yVYLSM9S0WHOh80cTWl0gGQwEasew4Cpje1e5oFAbC59E9QL8CX2jTrxbaoCIOVpFXme1n_/s320/IMG_4323.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459857060756844130" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHoLIibxjZkRzYHR-Sbm5pXGveZFkRBETVaNqJQmGnVHpyXCIstI_tO7FExMkRHTBac6fTNaa3ZMoFQu7tpP4tlSAqwCy0JGUZfo-n73bmUoPSGzmxYi_OcB2izTTk8beA5PwdGwk6H4M/s1600/IMG_4347.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdHoLIibxjZkRzYHR-Sbm5pXGveZFkRBETVaNqJQmGnVHpyXCIstI_tO7FExMkRHTBac6fTNaa3ZMoFQu7tpP4tlSAqwCy0JGUZfo-n73bmUoPSGzmxYi_OcB2izTTk8beA5PwdGwk6H4M/s320/IMG_4347.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459857062248434690" border="0" /></a>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-62219581147924293062010-04-18T17:00:00.000-07:002010-04-18T17:00:05.291-07:00Canoeing at UW- Sept 09<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7_0hJX2xJXMUAW6sdhDOGZuRs-Ml2wMub7clEFo2T5ZnzPcIYAlp5mPM1Zl7szQdbtnWqkOL5eLzLiiL2TVQSfqY9t_6qau4KlkKd4zuahXqPRWwdhcz9sqk4KCjnjNd1x33_zTNfVUq0/s1600/IMG_4287.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7_0hJX2xJXMUAW6sdhDOGZuRs-Ml2wMub7clEFo2T5ZnzPcIYAlp5mPM1Zl7szQdbtnWqkOL5eLzLiiL2TVQSfqY9t_6qau4KlkKd4zuahXqPRWwdhcz9sqk4KCjnjNd1x33_zTNfVUq0/s320/IMG_4287.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459851703990468210" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2iB_uOe6lLMjYUWa7xGMA_0vgsc3RhVnQUJCZDeQrPk9Uu0UjFzVw2HutblOF3qCaaLeetc-lshElXyStD15W8VbOC9S2ym7BltLFeD516X5vkwkA01TY8C3hEj6b3y1kG_q08r5SxXGQ/s1600/IMG_4284.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2iB_uOe6lLMjYUWa7xGMA_0vgsc3RhVnQUJCZDeQrPk9Uu0UjFzVw2HutblOF3qCaaLeetc-lshElXyStD15W8VbOC9S2ym7BltLFeD516X5vkwkA01TY8C3hEj6b3y1kG_q08r5SxXGQ/s320/IMG_4284.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459851685128495938" border="0" /></a><br /><br />We spent the morning at the zoo with some great friends and then headed over to UW to take to boys canoeing. We had been talking about doing it for weeks, but hadn't been able to find the time. It was drizzling at the zoo and we thought we were going to have to wait on canoeing, but the clouds parted and the sunshine appeared, so we decided it was now or never. The boys were tickled that we were going and insisted on helping row. It was really cute to watch them try, and they would want to row all by themselves... which resulted in a few circles. But, a good time for all.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Gckg6bw0-q5X3BI_aiLAzEVBUqWxsIjKvRMz3Z_xkOmhv8pEotgsrZwSpYJxsGu8Yj-gHZT_1v9mur6mCjLaCP8oCAQ7Ip3iyTOvz5ROdl4FIRSPRoOsLdcN_sd-OkmtOpnflM-J_Vh8/s1600/IMG_4292.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-Gckg6bw0-q5X3BI_aiLAzEVBUqWxsIjKvRMz3Z_xkOmhv8pEotgsrZwSpYJxsGu8Yj-gHZT_1v9mur6mCjLaCP8oCAQ7Ip3iyTOvz5ROdl4FIRSPRoOsLdcN_sd-OkmtOpnflM-J_Vh8/s320/IMG_4292.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459851677775671730" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbyHtasiJ6ENZw8uCWTcx5ZjzvIhJu4Eyi3qNKHYDKrTuYWume3eknNaOdQ2Q7ST-BSHBbmLhK3hynUbNpNhS2-8l52MEfXA_gw4Uz-egmK0h3thgWd2tM5n9EHren4ehQCLXHzYWebUIw/s1600/IMG_4294.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbyHtasiJ6ENZw8uCWTcx5ZjzvIhJu4Eyi3qNKHYDKrTuYWume3eknNaOdQ2Q7ST-BSHBbmLhK3hynUbNpNhS2-8l52MEfXA_gw4Uz-egmK0h3thgWd2tM5n9EHren4ehQCLXHzYWebUIw/s320/IMG_4294.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459851675543651458" border="0" /></a><br />So, since I am including this picture of PJ (which I totally set up and made sure you could see the "W" - since he is a husky) I decided I better throw this one in of me to, otherwise I might get in trouble :) As a little tip, you might want to bring a towel or two to sit on or just to wipe down the seats... unless you plan on getting a little wet.PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-8420767014517279722010-04-17T17:00:00.000-07:002010-04-17T17:00:00.569-07:00Mariner Game- Sept 09<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0olNZ6BckwSv4DhrwxJu1-HrF9j_njrlDJO6FYyoM9kBGyyqalUBCFJepkILzjKenpML01YbZq89KS97-8sUb6HvcHhipadt4mwzrm3vX2f3-L6-yppmvQCPQCBS1ABP0VZ9eacnDJ9ul/s1600/IMG_4222.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0olNZ6BckwSv4DhrwxJu1-HrF9j_njrlDJO6FYyoM9kBGyyqalUBCFJepkILzjKenpML01YbZq89KS97-8sUb6HvcHhipadt4mwzrm3vX2f3-L6-yppmvQCPQCBS1ABP0VZ9eacnDJ9ul/s320/IMG_4222.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459848804325390786" border="0" /></a><br />The boys were so excited to take their picture with the Mariner Moose. I think it was the highlight of the entire game. Well, it might be a close call for Peyton, he really LOVED the cotton candy. It had to be blue of course; it is his favorite color. Dylan and I decided the cotton candy wasn't really for us, but I was glad that Peyton liked it. The boys were really patient with PJ while he watched the game. We passed the time making silly faces at each other. Don't get me wrong, they loved it for the first hour or so, but then they were ready to be done with it :) PJ was a really good sport though and left before the game was over. It ended up being a good thing too- otherwise we would have had to wait an hour for the next bus.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7BOPd_70EYy-yK363G1BSwoI5blpi6q8b0FTCRBRPzyxKeqzWTB2O1uYCytMhHg2lTkP4NeUT0Vu-7j1nPz8qLyy6r3ciOpVIPvto5wiZTlE_z-d3ddya04lAyV45prlMIBq1RCY-1FR/s1600/IMG_4238.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf7BOPd_70EYy-yK363G1BSwoI5blpi6q8b0FTCRBRPzyxKeqzWTB2O1uYCytMhHg2lTkP4NeUT0Vu-7j1nPz8qLyy6r3ciOpVIPvto5wiZTlE_z-d3ddya04lAyV45prlMIBq1RCY-1FR/s320/IMG_4238.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459848820947066610" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBL3imM-GqlCh5UxMr0pb6C8gAvjf3CHfPrpbhNcx3CO4hwb3U2huORP8LCAgiAWh-v9STW70TbcxEo6qEDz4RhjxkueTkNWvw1X1ZBZvnVunluVIcZEzlWGmM1Qpk82Oq0D4lMt8sBsoS/s1600/IMG_4241.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBL3imM-GqlCh5UxMr0pb6C8gAvjf3CHfPrpbhNcx3CO4hwb3U2huORP8LCAgiAWh-v9STW70TbcxEo6qEDz4RhjxkueTkNWvw1X1ZBZvnVunluVIcZEzlWGmM1Qpk82Oq0D4lMt8sBsoS/s320/IMG_4241.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459848811814039314" border="0" /></a>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-17587948251409661852010-04-16T16:30:00.000-07:002010-04-16T16:30:00.924-07:00Remlinger Farms - Sept 09<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSMA5EdFezKVF5-VKEdH57jaXxHPNs3p1XNaoXVMlsfebjQUC7c9XFYeeKKow24BMbm7WmLo2ZlqKySZis7Alvxb6xLsk_cW1DMuX2K76rgDnpC6Ll-uNZ_v4zzZieiqtxrExl9mtY-nK/s1600/IMG_4064.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYSMA5EdFezKVF5-VKEdH57jaXxHPNs3p1XNaoXVMlsfebjQUC7c9XFYeeKKow24BMbm7WmLo2ZlqKySZis7Alvxb6xLsk_cW1DMuX2K76rgDnpC6Ll-uNZ_v4zzZieiqtxrExl9mtY-nK/s320/IMG_4064.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459844031459654498" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYyvs-doQj7arnEOBh-trI-QFw7JXJtfu80miV7oERcUDT8azRFo1o6SbqaIrAyi50x_Q4NqtfQUK3M5o0H4DdQEei2p9mhbGQyKGOJNUtwBlmQO2u9jaKAQHmcfDnDCzxnB1dZi0LWDxC/s1600/IMG_4204.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYyvs-doQj7arnEOBh-trI-QFw7JXJtfu80miV7oERcUDT8azRFo1o6SbqaIrAyi50x_Q4NqtfQUK3M5o0H4DdQEei2p9mhbGQyKGOJNUtwBlmQO2u9jaKAQHmcfDnDCzxnB1dZi0LWDxC/s320/IMG_4204.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459844022853773778" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjukSuG5AeVDC1lxHG82ocO0DSzAbOrtpUIikstlCXhv3vrfgKbetsHyOzQQEECztMC8zImFWf8WuPkFD6gSpWmqpK0E092tiw_LXvwf1uYFWZXDfD1FGJ5oHNzHvo2wuaT9vktGOG6ere-/s1600/IMG_4067.JPG"> </a><br /><br />Ever since Dylan's First B-day we have been going to Remlinger Farms.

(Package of pudding mix made up w/ food coloring in muffin tins). At first Dylan dove in with his fingers and was painting away on his paper. Peyton, wasn't interested in getting his fingers dirty so he just used a paintbrush. A few minutes into painting Dylan decided to paint his arm. Little by little he painted more and more. It was too cute to stop him. At first Peyton wasn't sure that Dylan was making a very good choice, but I told him it was okay and he tested out painting one stroke on his tummy. He ended up thinking it was pretty fun, but Dylan still ended up the messiest :) They went right into the bath after they were finished painting their masterpieces!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3T4sETIoQvOGbXLsPIh0XGmUR5ONaeqyvF-lgp_35PvJtdbTAzbzVR6YW1SQusJkz-UDa-8jyoQqEzcYh2eAUcaPe1pZTm5HYDCjwMnMmGFZwOZLiHqTPVDdQZA5tX1yBSLD1cfcNj1t/s1600/IMG_3887.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt3T4sETIoQvOGbXLsPIh0XGmUR5ONaeqyvF-lgp_35PvJtdbTAzbzVR6YW1SQusJkz-UDa-8jyoQqEzcYh2eAUcaPe1pZTm5HYDCjwMnMmGFZwOZLiHqTPVDdQZA5tX1yBSLD1cfcNj1t/s320/IMG_3887.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459837406471445394" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh__qnGZj9APqmWxCSW4GYr4RGTqXB7hOBYkE6v5wsfjXrB6LNiENH9xxUbzVffM_fnmGSpyjzdo4jf6Tnd2gh77p6qXZ3LraVvd0OtRh4I1DaVBs82qowDPalFMUL8dKHrH1ufRPcAcSUP/s1600/IMG_3888.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh__qnGZj9APqmWxCSW4GYr4RGTqXB7hOBYkE6v5wsfjXrB6LNiENH9xxUbzVffM_fnmGSpyjzdo4jf6Tnd2gh77p6qXZ3LraVvd0OtRh4I1DaVBs82qowDPalFMUL8dKHrH1ufRPcAcSUP/s320/IMG_3888.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5459837415399839794" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><img src="file:///K:/Family%20Pictures/2009-08/IMG_3864.JPG" alt="" />PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-8155931921374926042009-11-19T22:21:00.000-08:002009-11-19T22:39:51.127-08:00Dylan's Artwork - August<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKA0M4uYabyPCcNUgZCA_yHny8lE0GF4zes4N25UtDvlnZFDgBo8HFPN6xwiGZFqCCi6ntMp9RURyotoT9ctT9AfqUN7A0aHJsIyOQCgFiSjOjVVZ3AyVbCvdXKEryJE9gJY86IOTp02I2/s1600/IMG_3823.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKA0M4uYabyPCcNUgZCA_yHny8lE0GF4zes4N25UtDvlnZFDgBo8HFPN6xwiGZFqCCi6ntMp9RURyotoT9ctT9AfqUN7A0aHJsIyOQCgFiSjOjVVZ3AyVbCvdXKEryJE9gJY86IOTp02I2/s320/IMG_3823.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406068982929592354" border="0" /></a><br />Dylan took an art camp this summer from one of our favorite people :) He had a blast... thanks again!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYsHMSTcPXD2bzKQ18DWGpyKLyvqwyMdjbZ-o252Pj4xe0TFzbMYKkZpxB2btZMlBAupcMb21rSZfZia-NHHnKiLxhK-Yg0l7mFOmBcfCK7ovKSetmBbAxlIL5tUHeDs6cxYpYWXh4xuXj/s1600/IMG_3822.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYsHMSTcPXD2bzKQ18DWGpyKLyvqwyMdjbZ-o252Pj4xe0TFzbMYKkZpxB2btZMlBAupcMb21rSZfZia-NHHnKiLxhK-Yg0l7mFOmBcfCK7ovKSetmBbAxlIL5tUHeDs6cxYpYWXh4xuXj/s320/IMG_3822.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406068977071192962" border="0" /></a><br />Peyton had to get in on the camera action :) He loved wearing Dylan's astronaut helmet.

He was so excited! The first week was cold and cloudy... and poor Dylan shivered all the time (outdoor pool). But he enjoyed the class much more once it warmed up. However, he did not love the head bobs... he has no interest in having his face under water. His favorite thing to do was wear the "noodle" so he could "swim" on his own. Peyton and I had a great time watching and eating snacks... but he has no interest in lessons right now... we'll see if he changes his mind next year. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gQiu0PxwIJBOomYga-J4Z-SZtDbJE1Xr2vXr3BCGFa4MC1ihbkdKJBM_TFOMb1qTJL1vw3wq84Zy3oWQ3s_6FiWUhf2J8LTX4j9g0fvMl7VidiGohZDhkkadn2v2E9qb2ucU_aP5reSf/s1600-h/IMG_3663.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4gQiu0PxwIJBOomYga-J4Z-SZtDbJE1Xr2vXr3BCGFa4MC1ihbkdKJBM_TFOMb1qTJL1vw3wq84Zy3oWQ3s_6FiWUhf2J8LTX4j9g0fvMl7VidiGohZDhkkadn2v2E9qb2ucU_aP5reSf/s320/IMG_3663.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377461237371120050" border="0" /></a>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-55610866626450978392009-09-03T14:49:00.000-07:002009-09-03T21:06:54.589-07:004th of JulyWe spent the morning at Lake Wilderness with some our good friends the Hays and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Thulins</span>.

Then we packed up again to drive over to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Bellevue</span>.

Peyton and I ended up saving our spot while <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">PJ</span> and Dylan walked around. The boys were really patient while we waited for the fireworks. They loved the fireworks but hated the noise. They had their ears covered throughout most of the show. It was fun to be so close to the fireworks, but it was crazy crowded. It ended up that if your blanket didn't cover it... someone else claimed it. The boys fell asleep before we even got out of the mall parking lot. Good thing too, because traffic was crazy and it took us almost 3 times longer to get home than normal.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGV8Dt6CUognyBYty5x07St5cIz6SbGI0G2Fm-EuRo4Sj6V5DLTroQiiVfM9JZ15GuObJJhMACt3omjxY7GZAF3JgMBFKT3UVFJ3bbd8w9hJZ5aOnJtkJSCGto7c9L-QAsRC9xpHNCYcSi/s1600-h/IMG_3614.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGV8Dt6CUognyBYty5x07St5cIz6SbGI0G2Fm-EuRo4Sj6V5DLTroQiiVfM9JZ15GuObJJhMACt3omjxY7GZAF3JgMBFKT3UVFJ3bbd8w9hJZ5aOnJtkJSCGto7c9L-QAsRC9xpHNCYcSi/s320/IMG_3614.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377366743003921058" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDg_t1WMfchOz6N6nnykjl0M4rOg3aPDCDURRgplKHm9KrNuVIhXeu9Jevqobieup9GuQ6VWRvfIQ4Uze0oESEE-gqxZdQZ34K53uyoWkGDbY39U5BICo98MOFWE5zOrKU0Au-aCFtJTYz/s1600-h/IMG_3608.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 288px; height: 216px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDg_t1WMfchOz6N6nnykjl0M4rOg3aPDCDURRgplKHm9KrNuVIhXeu9Jevqobieup9GuQ6VWRvfIQ4Uze0oESEE-gqxZdQZ34K53uyoWkGDbY39U5BICo98MOFWE5zOrKU0Au-aCFtJTYz/s320/IMG_3608.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377366732676046562" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl4HxJSfUwJtpfr0E_bd02W8Cn7DtfXzp5ycP0gWpe9zFxuXA3gL45Hofphj0TN9xAywzgCzizm1hhE_RNPEM9gUXdd0NmjmkjgDI-qS1w03KlrtUvFVJvaKOYmOkhwXJUcjl8sBlFTJDf/s1600-h/IMG_3637.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgl4HxJSfUwJtpfr0E_bd02W8Cn7DtfXzp5ycP0gWpe9zFxuXA3gL45Hofphj0TN9xAywzgCzizm1hhE_RNPEM9gUXdd0NmjmkjgDI-qS1w03KlrtUvFVJvaKOYmOkhwXJUcjl8sBlFTJDf/s320/IMG_3637.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377366749088068370" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNB8t1C4XZJs7f5qBr8UFRP7Q0h1ZHUIgJT0wHKXUiuDtEl2sld-8QdIle4FlW9dtpN4vaWM_Z06ubYe4eUZD7XojRP2lNeFhyNNcjMv0A8M4Cmw33b2C8Nrq57AnqgVvwM8M5VXnpJ06/s1600-h/IMG_3640.JPG"> <img style="cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoNB8t1C4XZJs7f5qBr8UFRP7Q0h1ZHUIgJT0wHKXUiuDtEl2sld-8QdIle4FlW9dtpN4vaWM_Z06ubYe4eUZD7XojRP2lNeFhyNNcjMv0A8M4Cmw33b2C8Nrq57AnqgVvwM8M5VXnpJ06/s320/IMG_3640.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377366762465261058" border="0" /></a>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-36326206728046980842009-09-03T14:01:00.000-07:002009-09-03T14:24:45.555-07:00Seattle Science Center (July)We surprised the boys with a trip to the Seattle Science Center.

I love that it was warm enough for the boys to break out their swim trunks and play in the water in our backyard. Dylan was SO excited to break out the sprinkler and would have stayed out there all day running through it. I set up the basketball hoop by the pool so that Peyton could enjoy the water and one of his favorite things... basketball. I can't tell you how many balls I retrieved for him (in an effort to keep the pool water somewhat clean- I didn't want him going in and out). We had such a great time enjoying the sunshine, water and each other's giggles. I sure do love my boys :)<br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3Mv73iLZezYReOC-6b-mAm7OKs19fvvOh0ZI36RT4pUO6CEniuz3U6_jip8sGojG015QvgAgdA3KLHu6NWdsvxtgWAX6bCIKtJEKLwyo4-5EUKN9F5BldWwV5J60VqTfiS3OB68YvbVn/s1600-h/IMG_3404.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351763636355556738" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3Mv73iLZezYReOC-6b-mAm7OKs19fvvOh0ZI36RT4pUO6CEniuz3U6_jip8sGojG015QvgAgdA3KLHu6NWdsvxtgWAX6bCIKtJEKLwyo4-5EUKN9F5BldWwV5J60VqTfiS3OB68YvbVn/s320/IMG_3404.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXThiPU3iix-hXAa8ErFMxq2Qd3d7I3bA7b7EnTR30xq__0zgydwQjuGmDD6MqtzxqaCxGVfO3xFJjkgzMSHHRjnq0sCC3Nq6F3HMm-uNr6WDUG1z7MilH4_d0O9MN2PoPjqWWGhqrSOh2/s1600-h/IMG_3401.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351763628720599938" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXThiPU3iix-hXAa8ErFMxq2Qd3d7I3bA7b7EnTR30xq__0zgydwQjuGmDD6MqtzxqaCxGVfO3xFJjkgzMSHHRjnq0sCC3Nq6F3HMm-uNr6WDUG1z7MilH4_d0O9MN2PoPjqWWGhqrSOh2/s320/IMG_3401.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-53148571190140610872009-06-26T14:44:00.000-07:002009-06-26T14:57:33.305-07:00Idylwood Park<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkj7tbxgYTBmaDZ4fHsfZH9rZctjfpf0LBJ4wOY7-eVoUpIPPEw1Wx1o_sRsi-1yLJiiIpDZ0fwRZ-7OvmRMfy8_WMZGC0Lx9gC72Sekr_NWJXe0DbPp9-JoNNUzERp1y8i0bdMwrNWE1N/s1600-h/IMG_3374.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351756880724930882" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkj7tbxgYTBmaDZ4fHsfZH9rZctjfpf0LBJ4wOY7-eVoUpIPPEw1Wx1o_sRsi-1yLJiiIpDZ0fwRZ-7OvmRMfy8_WMZGC0Lx9gC72Sekr_NWJXe0DbPp9-JoNNUzERp1y8i0bdMwrNWE1N/s320/IMG_3374.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwsjb05EZ2rPtsJGX0NsiIJOk9y0PqmOUOOshIIdA1YSRFcBvBCZXQLH8yvLzICbenZhqIFLuHnl0TGhgXRtrMQFKoTBRHWwuECvj5yi62XLPHGfarOM4lQyJOuxZJSV9nNk2NxpiKE-Q0/s1600-h/Idylwood+park.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351756860951751026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwsjb05EZ2rPtsJGX0NsiIJOk9y0PqmOUOOshIIdA1YSRFcBvBCZXQLH8yvLzICbenZhqIFLuHnl0TGhgXRtrMQFKoTBRHWwuECvj5yi62XLPHGfarOM4lQyJOuxZJSV9nNk2NxpiKE-Q0/s320/Idylwood+park.JPG" /></a><br />(June 3rd)<br />We feel so blessed to live in an area where we have so many parks to choose from! Variety is the key for continued park enjoyment in our home. The kids had a blast, Dylan was going down the slide face first and trying all sorts of daredevil moves. He thought it was so great. Peyton brought one of his footballs to the park and was practicing kicking it out of PJ's hands. Dylan also figured out a way to keep his sunglasses about an inch away from his eyes so that when he would run around or go down the slide (see picture below) they would bounce. We all thought it was hilarious. I am so lucky that my boys enjoy each other so much, it is such great fun to be with them and watch them crack each other up :)<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjiYVBP3F95Fqw1VrussjK4SizeZudwnFczc6hxs6glOGxgC2Dwl1cviTJp-1-QmBkRUJ_4q_-ADtJS4o4P4zQHO6WA2H7-s01C7Vo9c6Sp0tg3-hTRtefs6wPwzkyQ3D6bm_RGqdsU6xU/s1600-h/IMG_3380.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351756873941486866" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjiYVBP3F95Fqw1VrussjK4SizeZudwnFczc6hxs6glOGxgC2Dwl1cviTJp-1-QmBkRUJ_4q_-ADtJS4o4P4zQHO6WA2H7-s01C7Vo9c6Sp0tg3-hTRtefs6wPwzkyQ3D6bm_RGqdsU6xU/s320/IMG_3380.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cSI7OixsSozrxasDM-I7CWJXEBWFFlYUoE50J_-B5ASPW4VOOUMyvBwQqexIyTs-FlxddF6sNaeUR8MLUyFow_Sv_tLdrgI7z2C435wsgZhtzFVdnQfHKTzoiLT71-pxVh94G3GQ0qGV/s1600-h/IMG_3373.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351756865434865410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1cSI7OixsSozrxasDM-I7CWJXEBWFFlYUoE50J_-B5ASPW4VOOUMyvBwQqexIyTs-FlxddF6sNaeUR8MLUyFow_Sv_tLdrgI7z2C435wsgZhtzFVdnQfHKTzoiLT71-pxVh94G3GQ0qGV/s320/IMG_3373.JPG" /></a><br /><div> </div></div>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-87833746298719540792009-06-26T14:27:00.000-07:002009-06-26T14:44:25.066-07:00Snoqualmie Falls<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Ok6cVCq3qmY6Wao9Sea3IJC91c2DZgga4EB8oUKOMbsgRgUvdFwClWBxbK9Zz7ugaku9sxbZCXGye0cl7OZn6ZypI9ImKzyIRoW78AeiEXAczMz6ot9Z8Cm7-9M8LH-kknDoq2BGLgUu/s1600-h/IMG_3257.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351752290048088066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Ok6cVCq3qmY6Wao9Sea3IJC91c2DZgga4EB8oUKOMbsgRgUvdFwClWBxbK9Zz7ugaku9sxbZCXGye0cl7OZn6ZypI9ImKzyIRoW78AeiEXAczMz6ot9Z8Cm7-9M8LH-kknDoq2BGLgUu/s320/IMG_3257.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Okay, so I am going to attempt a little catch up :) May 16<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> and I took the boys to <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Snoqualmie</span> Falls. They were amazing, they both pretty much walked the entire trail on their own. In fact at times they insisted on walking over being held. There were a few moments where they let us put them on our shoulders, but they were definitely pulling the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">independent</span> card :) I had forgotten how steep the climb down to the water is once you get to the end of the trail, so I spoiled Dylan and PJ's fun because I didn't want to try and climb the rocks w/ Peyton and have an accident. I told <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> that he could take Dylan down and Peyton and I would just hang out, but he didn't want to leave us behind. So sweet :) Dylan was definitely disappointed and we promised to make it up to him next time. We had a great time, it was so refreshing to get out together as a family and enjoy some of the amazing things that the Northwest has to offer. We are going to have to take the boys on more little hikes like this... any suggestions?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF1KDm1sEYSedTmN2pRibbG42WJC9ghMDQz_WKrhBubnP4K_avzveg79sF1gjY4Dv8wo3V8Abd_0sT2L5BEbfyU1QU1BhOJPFA4JCJAOjkDcQEocMZlLv6OrrtsdJJuQsdqHcVv1-buRYn/s1600-h/IMG_3246.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 214px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351752277024500610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF1KDm1sEYSedTmN2pRibbG42WJC9ghMDQz_WKrhBubnP4K_avzveg79sF1gjY4Dv8wo3V8Abd_0sT2L5BEbfyU1QU1BhOJPFA4JCJAOjkDcQEocMZlLv6OrrtsdJJuQsdqHcVv1-buRYn/s320/IMG_3246.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vck2GFKQLJ67ea9ZDFzbCZjKL5-ssGKXwwDZr6ByI4ZO2HhefB1BTkEsodJxr3yTqcZmJql94nmkZ_MWKmb0XPkRvX_ENDbWG-2c3ypUCQ-xdT0zbP885VdiahtEukcesrmaAeGXUIAo/s1600-h/IMG_3254.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 213px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351754876449323602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9Vck2GFKQLJ67ea9ZDFzbCZjKL5-ssGKXwwDZr6ByI4ZO2HhefB1BTkEsodJxr3yTqcZmJql94nmkZ_MWKmb0XPkRvX_ENDbWG-2c3ypUCQ-xdT0zbP885VdiahtEukcesrmaAeGXUIAo/s320/IMG_3254.JPG" /></a>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-18802340450080661472009-06-19T08:57:00.000-07:002009-06-26T14:26:57.207-07:00Saying goodbye...<div><div>On Wednesday we said goodbye to a dear friend that has been a very important part of our family for the past 2 years and 3 months.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><br />....

So, when I asked him if he would want to trade his binkies for the new Mover's CD he was all about it. Might I mention how much he LOVES his binkies. I tried explaining this meant his binkies would be ALL gone, and I think he understood as much as he could. We went to Target, he picked out his CD, we got a couple other things, and then went to the register. PJ prepped the cashier and Peyton confidently handed over his little bag of binkies to "pay" for his new Mover's CD. He was amazing, I thought, maybe this won't be so bad after all. Then came bedtime. Yes, he cried, and cried, and cried. He normally likes to cuddle... but didn't want me to even rub his back. He kept asking to get his binkies back. He told me, "I am crying because I want my binkies... I am upset mommy". Well, we made it through night one- with a few wakings, and crying... :( But I am happy to report that last night was MUCH better. He only woke up one time, we cuddled for a few minutes, he went back to sleep and then woke up about 6:30am for the morning. Perhaps a little earlier than I would like, but I'll take it if he can learn to sleep through the night :)</div><br /><br /><div>I am optimistic that tonight will be even better (fingers crossed)</div><br /><br /><div>And he LOVES his new CD- we came home from Costco yesterday and I turned on his CD while I unloaded the car... I looked over and found him on top of our ottoman with his baseball tee (using it as a microphone) and his baseball bat (aka his guitar) and he was rocking out to his new CD :)</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3mdkrTQyJj1c_G8WVOh5AZYQxkV7T6hm7ToSF45ZqhpDEg_N_aNMYTlYJw-cjzqqsEMBe6JW4de90MLWYNxgCwaroaePsCOgmtt4n-cBu5tgswxTcV5ncxwFzz87jp-3YUJoOqdDT496A/s1600-h/IMG_3467.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351750403811650226" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3mdkrTQyJj1c_G8WVOh5AZYQxkV7T6hm7ToSF45ZqhpDEg_N_aNMYTlYJw-cjzqqsEMBe6JW4de90MLWYNxgCwaroaePsCOgmtt4n-cBu5tgswxTcV5ncxwFzz87jp-3YUJoOqdDT496A/s320/IMG_3467.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggfhcIVCf5dCTpsbgCiuMlLJCZbAHmCZiau6PKjzAtMp-nTzyLZN4Xu4y95RX_hyQwKo0sKXdHomXZPtw3JA-yfn-WXqXg6Ks4oyAcqDGzkwxWMOY_tJxwNjMZ72Y1qxXe6B7wGvzi4azr/s1600-h/IMG_3459.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5351750761077386050" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggfhcIVCf5dCTpsbgCiuMlLJCZbAHmCZiau6PKjzAtMp-nTzyLZN4Xu4y95RX_hyQwKo0sKXdHomXZPtw3JA-yfn-WXqXg6Ks4oyAcqDGzkwxWMOY_tJxwNjMZ72Y1qxXe6B7wGvzi4azr/s320/IMG_3459.JPG" /></a></div></div>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5969783763297123543.post-12432344792040917512009-05-28T22:47:00.000-07:002009-05-28T23:12:32.105-07:00Everett Children's Museum<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUsDjVwZcOnnVSt2DqOrQU6UhI5-BbmiYiF1O0UgcSARgxBoiew0Imw2dTK9ZBxJhUiFO0hYR_3kHeoD-xMo5IeOI7ZobzrNelG-a6w0hVsyAUMfcqghert-tsrDlCWeewDbx9RShpovs/s1600-h/IMG_3243.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341123338065442546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAUsDjVwZcOnnVSt2DqOrQU6UhI5-BbmiYiF1O0UgcSARgxBoiew0Imw2dTK9ZBxJhUiFO0hYR_3kHeoD-xMo5IeOI7ZobzrNelG-a6w0hVsyAUMfcqghert-tsrDlCWeewDbx9RShpovs/s320/IMG_3243.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWOGXvMJ86yLMMVa5yllIRdGhZM-P2xqXRHHdVbTvXj1x5O0iTa0lNv6sCMhSfRbhVCgNp75ajkRvH7fMhA-YDrNfwXhM3XwwXxsE-gFRcGEDnd8WUA4NSr51KsMAFOzEZr5CU79VtFzj/s1600-h/IMG_3231.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341123328170901682" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRWOGXvMJ86yLMMVa5yllIRdGhZM-P2xqXRHHdVbTvXj1x5O0iTa0lNv6sCMhSfRbhVCgNp75ajkRvH7fMhA-YDrNfwXhM3XwwXxsE-gFRcGEDnd8WUA4NSr51KsMAFOzEZr5CU79VtFzj/s320/IMG_3231.JPG" /></a><br /><br />We had some friends invite us to join them for a free night at Everett Children's Museum.

When they got there Dylan really wanted to tell the mechanic what was wrong with the car. So this is what he told the mechanic (as best as PJ could remember). "Sometimes, our car doesn't start, but if we say a prayer, then it works". I am so glad that he is gaining a testimony of prayer. I can imagine that if PJ or I had dropped off the car on our own, we might have left out that part of the story. I am so proud of Dylan for having a testimony of prayer and wanting to share it with other people. Our kids really can teach us a lot if we let them.<br /><br /><br /><div><div><div>The other day Peyton says to me, "When I am big I can drive" I told him that when he was 16 he would be able to drive. He thought about it for a minute and looked at me and said, "When I am big and can wear your shirt, I can drive" I thought it was too cute that he would associate being "big enough" to do something with my size.

I know this post is a little late, but I figure since he can't read yet it won't be too traumatizing. Peyton is such a joy to have in our family. He cracks us up everyday and is always full of smiles. He has started pretending that he is another character... it is super cute. Right now we have a few different <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">personas</span>... </span></div><div></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">1) The Imagination Movers... (A <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">Disney</span> show)- he is Mover Dave, or Mover Rich- it depends... Dylan is Mover Scott... <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> is Uncle Knit Knots... and I get to be Nina.</span><br /></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">2) The Magic <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Treehouse</span>... we have been reading the series to the boys (we are almost done... any suggestions for a new series?) Peyton is Jack, Dylan is Teddy, I am Annie, and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> is Merlin.<br />3) The <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Incredibles</span>... Peyton and Dylan both like to be Dash... for whatever reason Peyton has decided that I am Jack Jack (the baby) and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> is Mr Incredible... or "Bob"</span><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">4) Signing Times... Today while Dylan was at Preschool Peyton decided that we were Alex and Leah from Signing Times. Every week we get new signing time <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">DVDs</span> from the Library (which is totally LOVES) so all around the library he was calling me Leah... I called him Peyton and he said... "I mean- Alex" I responded, "of course, I'm sorry Alex" and he giggled. I love these DVDs -- it has been amazing for his vocab and I am super impressed at how quickly Dylan and Peyton have picked up all of their signs. </span></div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">There might be more... but that is all I can remember at the moment. It is pretty crazy though, because he'll remember all day and is pretty consistent in calling me "Nina" or whatever character he deems me to be. Dylan did the same thing at this age- just different characters, maybe it is a standard development thing, but it is pretty adorable.</span></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNL8gWjfN9oV35NuzPJQbQDnCdJbdn7qBgPPp3RkI0yHee5nmYVFC2dndYG6T0x0KuCVIvC0I6LuspVTdcK7EFMurafgDU7VY1CQ9zKhJ_CRqIfGd8EFykOmZuV2gFwWv4PKh27cNqGxXs/s1600-h/IMG_2956.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313919585740815618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNL8gWjfN9oV35NuzPJQbQDnCdJbdn7qBgPPp3RkI0yHee5nmYVFC2dndYG6T0x0KuCVIvC0I6LuspVTdcK7EFMurafgDU7VY1CQ9zKhJ_CRqIfGd8EFykOmZuV2gFwWv4PKh27cNqGxXs/s320/IMG_2956.JPG" /></a><br /></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">He also LOVES music and is pretty particular about what we listen to. You know he likes a song because after it plays he says "again, again" and when he doesn't like a song, he says, "no, not this one." Sometimes it makes <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> a little crazy because Peyton can listen to the same song 10 times in a row and still want more. Luckily Dylan and I don't mind so much and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">PJ</span> isn't in the car with us very often :) He sings with the songs that he likes and learns the words super fast. I have been borrowing <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">CDs</span> from the library and he fell in love with the Imagination Movers <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">CDs</span>... so for his birthday we got him one and he was so excited to have his own copy that he didn't have to say goodbye to at the library! He also just discovered the band "Milkshake" and they have a song about baseball that he loves and one about superheros. It is so much fun for me to watch him discover new music and form opinions about songs so quickly. He definitely has some of PJ's blood in him.</span></div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS8OMr7Gk645pTQoa62tDTa8z2lRPROsWi-bVxdz3WF4lphNszXxKIo-us5RMXaBtIxCL93TFGyD9q3XG-u-w-F17x8wbX1QOlQ_N9meat07Kvz4kNkxvgaF183m-sn57SYDusyj6KuN2q/s1600-h/IMG_2867.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313921883431787794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS8OMr7Gk645pTQoa62tDTa8z2lRPROsWi-bVxdz3WF4lphNszXxKIo-us5RMXaBtIxCL93TFGyD9q3XG-u-w-F17x8wbX1QOlQ_N9meat07Kvz4kNkxvgaF183m-sn57SYDusyj6KuN2q/s320/IMG_2867.JPG" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BlR2NxZMPdAE_wLd5Bh0DL4-R30TyihklasUJ88XsVMN5WN6oQ_5n2BbrIbGu9oEiTCAtQcxUD6AansPTx03p9VasITxDYSKPjZRIMRuYU-T_jAj7QtuxXs7yyVFYUd46bMafwVUwqaE/s1600-h/IMG_2977.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313923465829028530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_BlR2NxZMPdAE_wLd5Bh0DL4-R30TyihklasUJ88XsVMN5WN6oQ_5n2BbrIbGu9oEiTCAtQcxUD6AansPTx03p9VasITxDYSKPjZRIMRuYU-T_jAj7QtuxXs7yyVFYUd46bMafwVUwqaE/s320/IMG_2977.JPG" /></a></div><div><span style="color:#3366ff;">He loves drums-- and plays multiple times a day.

He always wants to be with him and wants to do whatever Dylan is doing. He can keep up pretty well, and it always makes my heart melt to watch them play together. Dylan is such an amazing big brother and I am so grateful to have both of these special spirits in our home. I love watching them hold hands, play in the tub, wrestle, and work together. Yes, they do have their moments of frustration-- but they are far <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">out shined</span> by the moments of kindness.</div><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIOfTVUp6d4yI1bFX8840_DBJQKHUONyAJC9Oi4N_D5w-J8u8rnXoSsVs92eKm499abSljJ1fZ0suMBEnoo1OhG_Ckm6bOx4bzwqPeF1ScwHtR3fsYLV7QcubuTh7oPfIhPG8FaWpuqBk/s1600-h/IMG_2941.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5313919604738813106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAIOfTVUp6d4yI1bFX8840_DBJQKHUONyAJC9Oi4N_D5w-J8u8rnXoSsVs92eKm499abSljJ1fZ0suMBEnoo1OhG_Ckm6bOx4bzwqPeF1ScwHtR3fsYLV7QcubuTh7oPfIhPG8FaWpuqBk/s320/IMG_2941.JPG" /></a> </div><div>His Birthday Cake. He was so excited when he saw buzz that he pulled the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">bar stool</span> up to the counter and just started chatting with buzz for about five minutes. "Hi, how you Buzz?" Then, it was lunch time, so Peyton insisted on saying prayer, "by self"... he blessed buzz and said thank you for buzz about 4 times in his prayer- I thought it was pretty sweet.<br /></div><div>I could go on... but he'll be waking from his nap soon :)<br /><br />We have had a great time celebrating his birthday with family and friends! </span></div><div> </div></div></div></div>PJ and Rachellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09359190264044087062noreply@blogger.com1
