Imagine works

Last week we were in Bend with my Mom and Step dad. We went to Wonderworks in the Old Mill District. Here you can pretend to work at a grocery store, make pizza, be a vet, or build a mansion.

Easter Candy

Somebody got into the Easter Candy.

Spring Walk

The weather is warming here. This is a glimpse of our often walk to get the mail.

Big Kid Bed

Yesterday night the kids moved up to big kid beds. Christian got Nika's bed (which 27 years ago was mine and 18 years ago my cousins) and Nika got a big girl twin. We bought her Tinkerbell sheets and comforter. So fun.

Christian also turned 11 months yesterday.

Thickn' Up

On monday we took Christian to the Doctor. They want him to gain some weight so everyone is helping out. Here you see Nika feeding Christian Sweet Potatoes and Chicken. As you can see he doesn't really care for Baby food much. So it has been a struggle.

A Young Organist

Nika has been taking lessons from the Great Organist at Bend First Presbyterian, Boyd Levet. I guess the music abilty came from my side of the family

Nap time !

Here you see Christian taking his afternoon nap. He has really perfected this daytime nap thing. If only he could sleep in his bed at night.

Doing a Wheelie

Kenny tied both of the kids to Nika's bike and had them going all through the house. It was so cool. Christian loved it and Nika thought it was so cool. Here you them doing the Wheelie.

Nine Months Old

Christian is now Nine Months old. He can now crawl faster than me, which makes chase fun. Yes the "Little Man" plays chase with us.

The Hat ! ! !

You may be amazed to learn this, but I did indeed make this hat with my own two knitting needles. It is the third of many. The first wasn't very good and the second was unraveled by the two year old (nearly three) we love so dearly.

The hat is for christian, but like all infants he doesn't like hats. Nika love the hat, I guess she can see all the love I put into it the last couple of weeks (yes I know that is a long time to take knitting a simple hat, but I do have three kids right now).

In other news, Nika is perfecting her smile and has learned to smile on command. Oh, this makes pictures so much more enjoyable.

But Mom . . . All the cool kids do it!

Nika and Christian have taken to wearing ceral boxes on on thier head. Next you know Kate Moss will be wearing only a ceral box.

Two Second!

Nika has been saying the cutest thing lately. When she doesn't want to do something we ask, she will hold up her little finger and say, "Two Second!" We have no idea where she got it from.

Other cute things she says, "Eddison" - Medicine, "She," "Baby," "Kissin"- These all mean Christian, "Kylay"- any girl friend, and "Papa" - any old man.

Nika has been Sick

Nika was running a fever for around 5 days. Really scared us. We finally took her to the doctors on Sunday. By the time we arrived the fever had disappered and she has been her perky self eversince. We are so happy to have her back.

Christian had the same cold too. He came out of it much faster (Mama milk). But we are so happy to have our happy kids back and our bed. For around four nights we had Nika, Christian, Matt and I all in our Queen bed. You can image that Matt and I didn't get much sleep.

crawling fool

He is all over the place now.

Merry Christmas

Why can't I smile decent. I got us these cute sweaters at Children's Place. I love them. Matt hates them (ichy).

Two thirds Snowman

Kenny managed to find a use for the snow. He made two huge snowballs in hopes we would have enough for the third part of the snowman. No such luck the snow didn't last long and no more came.

Snow Day

About two weeks ago it snowed in Salem! Wow. Kenny (my nephew) got out of school and we had fun. Here you see Christian in Nika's old snowsuit. He enjoyed the snow much more than Nika did at this age.

Christian Meets Father Christmas

Last week Christian met Fatjer Christmas. Nika was supposed to be in the picture, but she got a little freaked out by an old man wanting her to sit on his lap. That was fine. The Guy was so cool. It was pricey, but a must for Baby's First Christmas.

Over the mountians . . .

And through the woods to grandmother's house we go. Week before Thanksgiving we went to my mom's house in sisters on the bus. It was way cool the only way to ride. I could tend to the kids and let someone else worry about the snow and ice.
