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.

Spring Break 2009 brought a trip to the Oregon Coast with family. They traveled from Boise and Payette to spend a week on the Oregon Coast. It was very typical of Oregon weather on the Coast during Spring Break which meant alot of wet and over cast days. We stayed in the Lincoln City, Depoe Bay area and enjoyed the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the beach, the outlet stores, Hecita Head lighthouse, family pictures at Fogerty Creek and lots of good food. There were several of us that also caught the dreaded influenza. We all caught it and the boys got a slight case of pneumonia and I developed a raging sinus infection. We are all doing much better now and this first weekend in April has brought the beautiful sun and 60 degree weather. We can hardly believe that the boys are 10 months old and their first birthday is coming so fast! Here are some wonderful pictures that captured memories on our trip.

Sorry we have not posted anything in quite a few months. I started my new job working full time. I deeply miss all that time I could be spending with our beautiful and handsome boys that are changing and growing every minute of every day. I treasure the time I have with them in the evenings, early morning and on the weekends. They are our biggest blessing in life and every moment is treasured. They are so funny, smart, and loving. Ainge loves to give big wet long kisses to me and Ian simply says momma and I melt. They continue to progress through the delvelopmental stages. Ainge began scooting and on his tummy using his arms and then he began crawling and he is now pulling himself up on furniture and moving himself along the furniture while traveling to his next endeavor. Ian is sitting up very steady then he rolls down to the ground and begins his clever ability to roll and move his body to get where he wants to go. He loves to play with his toys and he is now getting frustrated with not being able to explore things as his brother does. They communicate very well for their needs. Here are some fun photos of bathtime. Hope you enjoy!
