Snuggle Bug

I love how he snuggles in to sleep. This is how we are all night.
My arm is killing me by morning but it's SO worth it.

Natural Born Rocker

His hair naturally makes a mohawk... After a bath, I have to brush it down or it's spiked all on it own!

Ethan Turns 12!

 For Ethans 12th birthday, Grandpa Steve and Grandma Cheryl came to celebrate. We spent a portion

of the day at Point Defiance Zoo, at Ethans request and then headed home.  We had to do presents and

cake on another day but it was fun to spend some time with G&G!

Grandma even touched the sting rays and sand sharks in the touch tank!

 Ethan loves rubix cubes right now, so he's been collecting a variety of types.  He also loves any other kinds of brain teasers and strategy games.  We got him a box with 100 board games in it that require skill but that the kids can still read the directions and play together.  Ethan can even teach his little siblings how to play some of them (like checkers)! He loves it.  That- coupled with the bike helmet and rubix cubes- was a big hit!

Ears Pierced

Chez had to have good behavior for 20 days (earning 20 stickers for her chart) before she could 

get her ears pierced. 3 months later, she finally got her 20 stickers!  It was so sweet

to watch her nervously twist her hands and then ask her big sister to

hold her hands while they pierced her ears <3 Sister Love!

Still So New!

According to myself, little mans due date is today (dr's said the 14th). So we would just now be getting our little dude, or maybe not even for 5 more days. Crazy to think the little guy could still have been breathing fluid!

3rd Grade Music

Chezney and Cohen had their 3rd grade music performances today. 

They both did great singing and playing their instruments.

Each class took turns presenting the songs that they had been working on

and each child had a chance to play an instrument, too!
