Happy Graduation Isabel

Isabel's birthday was a big day, she also graduated form kids ministry at Downtown Cornerstone. Here she is in her cap and gown and receiving her diploma!

Our Colonial Minuteman

We have been studying the American Revoultion and Josiah decided to do his report as a Colonial Minuteman. He rocked it of course, and then her got to celebrate with a piece of George Washington's Birthday cake.

Happy Birthday Take 2!

Isabel is officially 7 years old. She celebrated the day rock climbing and then came home to have a party with her friends. She deemed it a success, so I can say...phew!

Her requested fancy cake and #7 candle

Cake time!

Pin the tail on the donkey was a hit. Classic games never fail!

Isabel even gave out pony rides

All I want for my birthday....is to Rock Climb!

Isabel has been waiting to turn 7 and rock climb for years. We had thought that you had to be 7 to climb the rock wall at REI, then we found out the age is 8! Luckily at the rock climbing gym you can be 2 and rock climb, so we ordered a private belayer for Isabel and 3 of her friends (Josiah, Alice, and Elliot) and they went and had a blast!

Happy Birthday Take 1

You know how it goes with birthdays...you have to celebrate a few times before your really get tired of celebrating. Here we are celebrating with Carter and Macy, our friends from our Community.

Check out the CUTE poodle cake Isabel picked out.

Happy 8th Anniversary To Us!

8 long...and wonderful! years. Marriage does really get better and we are more in love than ever...really! This year, thanks to our friends Bonnie and Pierce, we got a weekend away. We went to Oregon to spend a few night in Portland and Mt. Hood. We had a great time snowshoeing around the mountain. Then we spent the evening in the city. We went to two different restaurants, the first night to the Rock a pizza chain restaurant. The next night we went to a FANCY italian restaurant. We liked the first much better...tells you our class lever. Ha!

Jason convinced me to have a drink and I actually liked it this one, I usually do not.

Children's Museum Fun!

Thank you to Grandma Kathi and Grandpa Tom who gave us the wonderful gift of a children's museum membership for Christmas. We can use it all year and now that we live a few blocks away, we will! Here are some pictures of us enjoying the fun.

Car crash!

Dude!

One of the biggest challenges (if you can call it that) of city living is not really being able to store or ride bikes. So we came up with a few fun and exciting options. Skateboardking and scootering. The kids love it and it is much more easy to manage with 3 kids on the busy streets.
