Oh Christmas Tree...

The day after Thanksgiving (as usual) we headed up to the North Bend ranger station to get our permit. Then up the mountain to cut down the "perfect" tree. This year there was barely any snow up there at the time, only about 3 inches. So we were able to make our way all the way to the top. You can see for yourself, we had a lot of fun!

Look who's TWO!!!

November 15th, 2007

Happy Birthday to my little boy Levi!!! It's true as they ALL say, it goes by TOO, too fast. I'm having a much harder time with two, than when he turned one. It just doesn't seem possible I have a two year old. Levi is one sweet, cautious and often serious little guy.

This year we celebrated his special day at the Aquarium with Mom and Dad. He had a great time, a little unsure at times and wouldn't get too close to many of the exibits. A few days later I took he and Haley to Disney on Ice. So cool!! I don't think he moved for a solid hour! We then had his big birthday party with friends and family. Baseball theme of course, he had a blast and has far too many gifts...many of which are still hiding to be brought out slowly...shhhhh. :)

Elmo, Lil Hasselbeck & The smallest Porche Racer you've ever seen!

So Levi LOVES Elmo along with every other 2 year old I would imagine. But it's a little too hot to play, so we opted for a lil Hasselbeck underneath when it got too hot. He, along with his cousins had a blast at our churchs Fallapalooza. Elmo is now hidden away as each time he saw it he wanted to wear it while playing horsy with Mommy...wow! Not to be forgotten is our sweet little racecar driver Greyson. Which was originally Levi's, given to him from our dear friends the Powell's - who actually race vintage Porche's and had brought that back from Germany for Levi when he was a baby...so cute!

Pick a pumpkin, any pumpkin...

Better late than never...what can I say, I have two little boys that keep me hoppin! I have a free moment to share our fun at the pumpkin patch.

We unknowingly chose the day that many schools came for field trips...fun, fun...oh well. We headed out to The Farm, which is famous for it's Washington State shape corn maze. There was a petting zoo, which the kids loved and of course a pumpkin patch!

Brotherly Love - Greyson 1 Month Old

Our little peanut, Greyson turned 1 month old today...we've survived a month with two little monkeys!. Actually it's been fairly smooth sailing. I think I prepared myself for the absolute worse and therefore have been pleasantly surprised at how well everything has gone. Levi is just a doll with his brother, so sweet and gentle with him always. That in itself was our biggest concern. However Levi and the rest of us have adjusted quite well to the new arrival. Of course Levi seems to choose the times I am feeding Greyson to climb on me and play. I have discovered I am quite the talented multitasker! ;)
Enjoy these darling pics my sister, Carlee took - check her out at http://www.angelfacephotography.blogspot.com/

Love my boys...

Big Brother...Little Brother...

We were nervous how Levi would react/accept his new little brother. He's been nothing but so sweet and loving. Touching Greyson's head and hands so gently and showering him with precious kisses.
Levi wants to "hold" Greyson all the time. Putting his hands out he says..."Okay, okay.." Then after a few moments he pushes him away and say "okay!" Ahhhh...whewwwww...Could they be any cuter...sweeter???

We weren't expecting him so soon, as Sadie was scheduled for a c-section on the 18th. Well actually Sadie knew the whole time Greyson was going to make his entrance on the 10th or 11th. Her Doctors just thought otherwise. :) Of course Greyson wanted to share his birthday with his Grammie & cousin Carter. So one spicy hotdog the night before and a walk to starbucks the next morning you were ready to make your grand entrance. Not a day too soon!!!
