Meeting Baby Levi

Kenzie, Owen, Claire, and I finally met little Levi. He is so cute, wiggly and tiny! I can't believe how small babies seem after chasing a one and two year old around. We had fun visiting, eating lunch and snuggling that new baby. Owen was having a difficult time saying Levi so he decided that " Baby Ivy" was a little easier. What a goofball! Sara's Aunt Kathy stopped by too. As you can see these book babies of mine wouldn't leave her alone after the first book. It won' be long until Levi is dragging all of his books out for a good read too! Brad and Sara are cousins so that means Claire, Owen and Sara are 2nd cousins. Does that mean Levi, Owen and Claire are 3rd Cousins? I'm not sure how that works, any ideas?

Our Little Spider Monkey

She is a silly girl. Claire is waiving bye-bye, clapping, saying mama, dada, and pup, and climbing everything! She has walked 2 or three steps between Brad ans I on her own but hasn't taken off on own will yet....it will be any day now. She getting to be such a big "little spider monkey"

Kai and Mayli Visit (A Dad's Weekend)

Here are some of the highlights from Brad and Ryan's Dad weekend. They were sweet enough to let Ryean-Marie and I have a little "girl-time". We are some lucky ladies! And look and how much fun these kiddos had. Kai slept in Owen's room for the first time, Owen is still talking about it....soo cute!

Funny Story......

So let me start by saying I'm an idiot...Today we met my Dad in Wilsonville at Denny's for lunch (yes, Denny's, it's not as bad as I remember). We met because I left my camera cord in Albany when we went down for projects and tractors etc. My sweet Husband surprised me with a new laptop for Valentine's day and I couldn't blog with out a camera cord.....ugh! So we went for a drive. Now I can blog....as you can see and loving my new laptop!!

Happy Valentine's Day

Thanks to Katie, Molly, Mom & Dad, Jeff & Ceal, Kenzie & Ricky, Gram, and Jim and Gloria for all the V-Day love and goodies. These are some spoiled babies....they love you all!

Brad's New Project......

One of my Dad's old-timer buddies gave my dad this tractor to try to fix up or give to a good home. He decided that since he already has one old tractor he should give this one to Bradley. Brad was excited to say the least. We finally had some time to go pick "her" up. All my dad had to do it get a new front tire and battery and it turned over. Brad has to put in some new points and "she" should be running. I will keep you posted on the progress....Brad has big plans. The only stipulation in the agreement was that if Brad wanted the tractor he has to bring it back down to ride in the mint festival parade with my dad and all of his old-timer buddies and their old tractors. Brad said he would.

Projects at my Parent's House

New Kitchen Sink
Cutting Down one of the Old Oaks

We went down to Albany this Saturday to help my parents put in a new sink and cut down an old oak tree that was leaning pretty bad. You can see from the pics how rotten the roots and the stump were. It's no wonder it was leaning so bad. With "careful" calculating it came down perfectly. For the other reason we went down see the above post....yes to pick up a Tractor for Brad!

Grandpa and Grandma's Package Arrives

The JoJo's brought V-day gifts from Jeff and Ceal. The kiddos love all their goodies. Thanks sooo much Papa and Amma Clark!

Jim and Gloria Visit

We had a nice visit with the "JoJo's". We visited and went out to dinner and they spoiled the kiddos with fun gifts and snuggles.

BOYS, BOYS, EVERYWHERE BOYS!

Molly and Sean invited us to go to their ultrasound with them......IT'S A BOY!! We had so much fun. It was great to be a part of their very special day. Owen called it a "tb baby" because the ultrasound came up on a big screen tv and he calls the tv a "tb". I made home-made turkey noodle soup for the special day, it was awesome if I do say so....

Thanks Great Grandma Jean

The kiddos playing with the fun gifts Great Grandma brought to them.
