My little "Twerp"

You know you have a problem when your 11 month old son can open your cupboards and you can't even open them. He has figured out how to open them from the ground and from his high chair. Boyd's nickname at our house is "Twerp". He gets into everything and makes a complete mess of our home.

Big Juds has nothin on us

A few weekends ago we went to breakfast in North Bend. The little restaurant "Tweets" was a whole in the wall covered with Tweety Birds but the breakfast was fabulous. I had biscuits and gravy, Jeremy had a hash brown something that was awesome, Maggie had the works and my mom had a cinnamon roll. After we were done we decided to go next door and check out the bakery. The chef was very sweet. He let Maggie and I go in the back and look at the huge ovens. Very neat. I wish I had that at home. I could get some baking done fast. We bought some donuts to try and some massive "Big Jud" size buns. I immediately had to try them. So we brought them home and made burgers. They were massive and I was full after eating a quarter.

This is Jeremy's hand next to the burger. Huge!!!

Maggie's last Tee-Ball Game

Maggie did great learning how to play Tee-Ball. I am so proud of her. Here are some pictures from her last game. I am a little sad that she doesn't have many activities going on. She looks forward to them every week. Tonight is the last swimming lessons too. I guess I am going to have to get active now and start doing some of these sports with her. Bring on the Summertime.

Yes Coach!

Boys will be Boys

I was shocked to find Boyd the other day rolling his car around the room. I am so surprised that boys know what to do with their toy cars immediately. It was like he was born to play with cars.

There has been a big difference in play between Maggie and Boyd. Maggie when she was a baby, would get out a few toys play with them and then put them back. Boyd on the other hand gets every toy out onto the floor and then decides which one he wants to play with. It is so crazy to see how different my two kiddos are.

Summertime Fun

Nannie bought Maggie a new sprinkler. She was trying it out. She loves to have fun in the water. She is our little water baby. She is also quite the entertainer. Jeremy and I have to hold back the laughter sometimes so we don't hurt her feelings. We love you Maggie.

This move is what she called a triple-lip. Don't ask, she makes up all sorts of words

Daddy worked really hard this weekend. He is exhausted.

Poor little girl

She was just trying to get comfortable. Maggie must have fallen off of her bed. She was so tired she couldn't get back up so she did the next best thing, laid her head on the edge.

For some reason I am a sucker for sleeping pictures. So I couldn't pass up this post.

Grease at the 5th Avenue Theater

I had a wonderful day with family. We went to Grease at the 5th Avenue Theater. First, we met up with my cousin Scott Sannes for lunch at the Old Spaghetti Factory. It was fabulous. I really wanted some Ravioli. Mmmmm. Then we drove all over downtown Seattle trying to find the theater. It was quite comical. We finally get there figure out where to park, take a potty break and sit down with moments to spare. It was a great show. I love Broadway products. I am so glad my friend Jana Kennard introduced them to me years ago. I enjoyed Grease. I was a little sad that they didn't have the carnival scene at the very end of the show and that they didn't sing some of the songs in the same scenes that were in the movie but overall it was a great production.

The real pink ladies

I got in trouble for using my flash for this photo. I love how you can see up my nose.

I get so giddy when I see some one famous. It is not like I love Taylor Hicks but he is a celebrity! It was fun seeing him. He is a good singer.

Our cheap knock off bags. Maybe one day I will have a name brand purse

A beautiful day in downtown Seattle

Our mini vaca to Sandpoint, Memorial Day 2009

Our car ride to Sandpoint Idaho. It started fine and ended terrible. Boyd was finally happy when I gave him his favorite toy. His sisters ball. He played with this ball for 20 minutes. It was great. Both Maggie and Boyd fell asleep pretty good in the car. Boyd woke up when we his some bumpy road construction. And cried for a long time. Not fun! We got to Sandpoint in pretty good time. We promised Maggie she could say Hi to Grandma and Grandpa then she had to go straight to bed. Jeremy got Maggie out of the car and she was wide awake and ready to be at the lake. She said, "Dad, they don't even know we are here yet."

Visiting Great Grandpa and Grandma Noble

Andrew, Stephanie, Deanna and David drove through the night to get to Sandpoint. I don't know if I could do that. We met up with them at Great Grandpa and Grandma Noble's house. Maggie was so excited to see David. We don't get to see her cousins enough. We had a great visit. The kids played around on Grandpa's fun things. I enjoyed taking some pics.

The Sandpoint House

Jeremy and Curt were both kids when they built the Sandpoint house. Here are their hand prints, names and the date 10-11-80 when the cement was poured.

Grandma Noble and Boyd

Grandma and Grandpa's house for biscuits and gravy

We went in to Sandpoint quite a few days to visit Grandma and Grandpa . Grandma wanted to make biscuits and gravy. It has been years since Grandma has been able to move around as great as she did this trip. It is so nice to see her moving around more and being able to enjoy watching the grandchildren playing. It was a nice day. Thanks Grandma!
