Three Years Old
More from Washington
All of these pictures from Washington state were taken with Brad’s iPhone so they aren’t the greatest but they sure are good for what they are!
Ice Cream!

Logan
Logan wanted up on this “seat” and worked really hard climbing around some much bigger boys to get to it. Once there he [...]
Evergreen State of Mind
We just returned from a six day vacation to visit my parents at their home near Tacoma, Washington. I am madly in love with the Pacific Northwest. The mountains, the trees, the ocean, it fills all of my senses with ecstatic rejoicing.
The boys had only been there once before, at four months old [...]
Dragon
Old Navy brought us a great surprise today when we went to buy some winter clothes during their baby clothes sale. I’ve always resisted shopping for clothes out of season because it’s really hard to even think about long sleeves and long pants when it’s 90 degrees plus and 100% humidity outside. But I [...]
You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello
It’s been a week now since Forest said good bye to naps (Logan gave them up about 6 months ago) and I find myself with no official child free break during my day. Surprisingly, the timing seems to be very nice because the boys are so good about playing with each other that I find [...]
Wild Blue Yonder
This last weekend my friend Malikai, who currently lives in London, was in town and had suggested that we take the boys up in the single engine airplane that he was flying around Texas in during his stay here. Malikai has been working on his piloting skills for a while and is constantly looking for [...]
Giving in to Greatness
This morning I was trying to engage the boys in some art activities. As tends to happen, Logan got really into it but Forest quickly grew frustrated and/or bored. Instead of walking away from the table though, Forest started using the things on the table to make bridges. Pieces of paper previously cut [...]
Fun
The boys spend the hour before bed “playing rough” (yes, they actually know to call their wrestling matches that) with orange Daddy. Last night I joined in the fun/chaos and had a blast and was rewarded with this sweet image.
California
We recently got out of the oppressive heat of Texas with a week long visit to Brad’s parents in California.
Before going we spent time giving the boys options of activities, looking at websites and getting excited. I created a calendar to count down the last two weeks and using it we made some headway [...]
Refreshing Rain
You know we live in a place that has hot summers because when it rains we take advantage of the opportunity to go outside and play!
June Images
June has been full of a lot of sweet family moments.
At the beginning of June a mother cat and her four kittens moved in under our back porch for about a week. It was very sweet and a great experience for us all as we talked about compassion with the boys and [...]
