Backyard Entertainment

Scott worked hard expanding our patio last weekend. The boys & I, (and our dogs), watched him work....poor daddy. Brodie & Scott camped out one night in our BIG tent. Here are some of our photos from our weekend at home.

Rejuvenating the Blog

It has been far too long since I've written or added any pictures. So much has happened in our household in 2008. Most importantly, the addition of our second baby boy! Lachlan is now 4 months old and his big brother is nearly 3. We are enjoying watching them grow. B-man is a proud big brother; very protective, sometimes possessive, mostly gentle, and very caring. Baby Lachs is so easy going, sleeps through the night, smiles a dimpled smile at funny voices and mommy's face in the morning. He's a very happy little guy with beautiful blue eyes.

I will try to catch up with photos of the last few months and hopefully resume my storytelling through this media they call a blog.

Arizona Christmas

We had a great time in AZ for Christmas. Here is a pic of Brodie with Uncle Ryan. Brodie had a great time enjoying the center of attention from ALL the relatives. He got WAY too many toys, filled up on LOTS of cookies and treats, and got hugs & kisses from everyone. He is definitely loved by all. Our quick trip was filled with fun - he got to make star cookies with Nana Kym, went hiking in the desert, drove his cool new jeep, shared lots of kisses with his little friend, Bella, swam in the pool, rode his big wheel, played pickle ball, chased his great-aunt's little dogs, raced cars all over grandma Becky's house, and fell in love with the movie "Jungle Book". What an adventure!

Here is a belly pic from 22 weeks prego. I'm feeling good and and feeling full after all the holiday yummies. The baby is very active now which is so much fun and makes me wonder how wild he or she will be when we meet! We had our 20 week ultrasound and got some cute pics, but I don't have a scanner to upload them....bummer. Anyway, we turned away when the tech looked "south", and she did a great job keeping it a secret from us too. We like the excitement of the good surprise on the birthday.
