We can't wait to meet you little sir!

The World is at Our Feet

Well actually, the freezing Pugent Sound water is but you get our meaning.

Me and My Daaaaa!!!!!

Luv you so!

You Know It Peeps...

I'm almost two and I'm showing all my colors now. I love time outs, mommy's "you see Timmy" talks, and on-the-spot tears so much I practice them at least twice or thrice a day. I. am. so. fun! Come hang out!

Surrounded By L-O-V-E

Yippeeee!

Our Gra'ma Carol came to visit!!!! We had such a fun time with you and love you so much. In fact, we keep talking about you behind your back. :) We can't get enough!!!! XO

So A-Sleeeeep

Once Jan-Jan starts telling me stories and singing "warm kitty" I am a goner. I didn't even bother putting my jammies on. I just crashed. That is SO not like me.

Bibs and The Sneek

Poolin' it up toddler style. Hats, 70 sunblock, floaties, 8 inches of water and an over abundance of adult supervision. Look out! It's on!

Proof of a Pretty Place

As much as I kvetch about the weather up here, it sure is amazing when the sun does shine.

Um..Yeah

I can reach this on my own. It's what I do now that I am almost two.

A Rolling Stone Catches No Moss...

I...gotta go!

A Little Bit O' Me Time

This is NOT what it looks like. This is our neighbor's dog kennel. I just crawled in and closed the door. I SWEAR! No need to call in the A-THOR-I-TAY.

Should We Be Thinking About the Raw Egg?

Who cares! There's chocolate mixed in here too. We won't feel a thing. Besides moms have been giving kids raw brownie mix for decades. It's worth the risk.

On a Movie Date

Happy Birthday to My Matt!

Off for a wonderful evening without the littles. Not that we don't love our littles mind you, we just like to forget about the responsibility of having such littles once in a while.

Pre-Tween

Fashion first my child. Fashion. FIRST.

Hey Sneek!

Whatcha got cookin'?

This is More Like It!

This is the kind of fun we have been waiting (and waiting, and waiting) to have. Yiippppeeee!

Pssssstttt....

Hey. Psssst. Hey Pop, she's gone. What do you think about yous and meeees gettin' into that red lipstick now. They don't call me The Sneek for nothin' you know.

This is Easter...Seattle Style.

A Seattle Easter Sunday. Raincoats and eggs. At least we are sharing. We got that going for us.

Happy Easter Times!

Time to pose for the obligatory "same outfit shot". Not your traditional Easter wear, and that is exactly what we love about them.

Onward Gra'mpa!

We have seen the farm, now deliver us to our snacks at once!

Viv. Hold Me!

I have seen Sleeping Beauty 6,393,095,784 times and it just never gets old. I get all emotional every time she pricks her finger. I never really know if the prince will find her in time.

Try as They May...Try as They Might

No one can make anything right.

Our Sweet Gals

Gillian, Jorja, Zoe and Vivian. All in a row.

Cousins Galore!

We rock the house! We love you Viv, Zach, Zoe and Jase.

Me and My POP

Chicks on the Farm

Just taking it all in.

Total Teens???

All that is missing from this picture is about 10 to 12 years. The facial expressions will be exactly the same. The vacant stares, the "you are too moronic to be breathing the same air as I Mom" looks. Help... For the love of God someone find a cure for teenage girls before we get there.

Shhhhhhhh!

Yes. Please....... Ssshhhhh. It's what I need from you at this very moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Just...ssshhhhhh.

The Lasses of the Manor

Vivyanna, Gigi, Glory, and Jorja are a fabulous foursome. Cayson, do you have some floral jammies in your future? Nah, we wouldn't do that to you now would wwwweeee. (?)

Pals

We really do love each other. However, it sure is good to have this as proof for those not so melodious times in our day.

We Love Our Boots!

It's in our blood. And that is just the way we like it.

Cayson and His Mommy

Aaaaaaaahhhh love. True love.

What Happened to all the PINK?

Green, gray, brown and blue? I think we are going to like having Cayson around. Nice change of pace.

And All is Right With the World

Welcome to this life Cayson. We love you so much already!

Jia Waiting...Waiting for Cayson.

Spring is On Its Way

I am outside in this beautiful 45 degree weather. It is warming up right fine around here. My mom doesn't think so, but this feels like sandbox weather to me.

I'll Share...I Guess

If you want some take it now because I am not sure I will be feeling this generous for much longer. Go ahead...come closer..take it....come on....

TOOOO LAATTEEE!

Sorry, maybe you will act a little more quickly next time. It's all mine now. Bye-bye!

Tram Stop Coming Up

Our next stop on the tour will be the design studio. As we approach, please remember there is no flash photography, and keep noise levels to a minimum. We don't want to disturb the delicate scheme process.

Puddin' Time

Mommy left us alone to go brush her teeth. Silly dame, she should have known better. We had such a great time makin' this mess.

Time to Do the Washin'

This is the cutest load of laundry this side of the Mississip'.

Me and My Two Chick-a-Dees

I love these two little sprites. We have a great time together. Some days are easier than others, but all in all they are pretty kick a** chicks.
