HAPPY HALLOWEEN 2009
We visited the Baumann's Pumpkin Patch this year and it was like an amusement park with tons of activities for the kids including a kiddy area, petting zoo, corn maze, and lots of great food! We all enjoyed the fresh apple cider cake donuts!

It has been a long time since posting and we are all doing well. We are preparing to move into our new home in the next couple of weeks and We are all so proud of Brett, he will be starting the Firefighter program in January!!! Here are some photos of the boys and our new home!( We are so thankful to all of our family and friends and their support during this past year of great transition!) Enjoy!

Bad parenting?

As a new father I am unsure if this would be considered bad parenting. What do you do when you have a squirmy baby and no clean place to put him down? The only logical choice is obviously to place him in the kitchen drawer.

A trip to the coast

On Saturday April 25th Stacy, Lynda, the dudes and I went over to the coast to see John and the beachhouse. The beachhouse is coming along well. Stacy wanted to get a "couple" pictures of the dudes on the beach. Unfortunatly the weather was uncooperative. We went to lunch at Moe's and some of the most outstanding meals ever. YUM YUM YUM! I took Daphne out on the beach and she was having a great time running and splashing. I think I am going to have to take her over and allow her to run for a couple hours. The trouble with twins has jumped up another notch, because it has become official. We now have two mobile children. Ian has started army scooting around the house. He seems to love his new found freedom that does allow him to play more with Ainge.

A day at the dog park

On Sunday April 19th Stacy, Daphne, Ian, Ainge and I spent the day down at the dog park. Daphne did pretty well with all the other dogs. Like all females she was always worried the other puppies were going to try and violate her. We'll have to keep working with her and maybe she can relax and have fun. We all went for a walk and hung out for a while at the amphitheater. Super Ainge found his kryptonite. The green grass was a little too funky. Ian on the other hand thought he was one of the animals he loves so much. The grass was continually going in his mouth as fast as he could pick it. We finished off stopping by the carousel and finalizing all the stuff for the dudes 1st birthday. It was great spending time with the family.

Our day at the tulip farm

On April 18th Stacy, Lynda, and I spent the day at the tulip farm in Woodburn. The dudes did pretty well. We placed them in the dirt for the first time and they thought that was pretty cool. Ainge decided the rocks even looked good enough to eat. Ian continues to be facinated by animals of all sorts. They had rescued exotic birds on display which Ian thought was pretty darn cool, Ainge on the other hand didn't quite know what to think of them.
