Christian Had Fun too.


Look at my little heartbreaker. Christian did so well at the Zoo. I think he only fussed once and that was to eat lunch. the rest of the time he was in his little seat or in Daddy's arms.

Matt had a ton of fun showing Christian all the cool animals.

I think he enjoyed seeing all the people and scenery the most. Oh yeah, he loves looking at the warning sign next to his head too.

Life is a Zoo


Yesterday we went to the Zoo with my neice Victoria. Here you see nika posing on a wooden horse and saddle. Nika is hoping that her favorite Step-Auntie Hillary will someday teach her to jump horses too.

We had a ton of fun at the Zoo. Each time we go I think Nika comes home understanding more animals and definately enjoys her self more.

Our membership runs up on tuesday, but that is fine. We have a membership to the local science museums and with our rainy Oregon weather we will get good use of it over the cold winter.

Fire in Sister's


This last weekend we visited my parent's in Sisters Oregon. This was before the fire that is breaking out there. Where we were hiking last week it is now blazing.
I say good riddens (kidding), I came home from that hike with over 60 (yest count them Six - Oh) mosquito bites. What make it worse was they all got swollen. Ouch. In the picture Nika and I are looking at a squirrel.

Now Three Months



Christian turned Three months the other day. I thought it would be interesting to see a picture of the both of them at the same age. Nika certainly had mone hair then Christian. They certainly have the same nose, mouth, and thier mother's beauty : )

Our Early Reader


Here is a picture of Nika reading Christian "Five little Monkeys." I don't know if all kids are like this, but both Nika and Christian enjoyed looking at books when they were super little. According to Nika the book reads, "Bump Head, head bump, bump head, Monkey."

Baby's Bath


Yesterday Nika and I gave Christian a bath. Well actually I gave Christian a bath while Nika scrubed her Duckie (in the background). Nika recently has been saying Christian's name. It comes out "Cris-tim." But so cute. It has been fun seeing how much Christian enjoys his sister. Nika does little dances and talks to him. I can see thier special relationship brewing already.

Matt Caught a Fish


Matt and my step dad went fly fishing at the pond near my parent's house. This is the fish Matt caught. Sorry the image isn't so good, but the picture was capture via cell phone camara.

Training a Bible Scholar



Nika and I did Bible Study together. We learned about submitting to God's authority in our lives.
