Mom and Liam's First Trip Together
Liam and I headed off to Arizona this weekend for a mommy and me trip! Well, that is to say, the flight was mommy and me. Once we landed in Arizona, it was definitely a Grandpa and Stephie and me trip! We had a great time hanging out in the sun - Liam's every possible need was catered to and he…
Liam and Dad Kinect
Today... Leif got up at 6:30 to head to Fred Meyer to buy an Xbox Kinect. The store opened at 7 and by 7:05, they were all gone - but he got one. Liam's ski lesson was today, followed by Mod Pizza and then Kinectimals on the Xbox. Liam loved playing with the virtual tiger cubs - making them jump,…
Papa and Nana come for a visit!
Papa and Nana came for their yearly Halloween visit this weekend. It was so good to see them. It was a low key weekend as the kids and I were still recovering from colds. Lots of reading, wrestling, jumping off the couches and watching football...
Happy Halloween!
2 kids parties, 1 adult party, 3 colds, 1 stomach flu and one night of trick or treating...WE DID IT! Happy Halloween 2010!
The Wiggles!
Liam and his Dad went up to Everett to see the Wiggles live! Both of them had a blast - they danced and sang all the songs. They opened the show with Big Red Car and closed it out with Hot Potato (Uncle Mike's favorite Wiggles song). And Liam got a high five from Wiggle Sam - check it out!
Liam's 3 year old check up!
Our little man is so active, he has lost weight - down from the 90% to the 50%, Liam now weighs 34 pounds and is 37.75 inches (also the 50%). He received an A+ and a flu shot. Daddy took him to his appointment and Liam told me that he was very "brave" when he got home.
"Look at your daughter..."
Whenever Skyler does one of her crazy stunts - whether it be climbing up on to the playset, hanging on the rings at the gym, standing up on the couch and threatening to jump off, or attempting to jump down the stairs after her brother - Liam will say to us in the most adult sounding voice he can…
Liam's First Ski Lesson
I am not sure what made me happier today - watching Liam take his first ski lesson, or watching Leif's face as he watched Liam on skis. Both were priceless. The lesson started out a little shaky - Liam was apprehensive to let Leif leave his side. The instructor let Leif slide down the carpet…
Skyler's 16.5 month check up...
Healthy and growing, Skyler is now 30.5 inches tall (45%) and 22 pounds 5.5 ounces (30%) with a head size of 18.5 (75%). She is the best little baby at the doctors. Leif took her to this appointment and he said she didn't even cry from her shots!
Skyler reading...
We never thought we would ever have a child that likes books as much as Liam but he has definitely met his match. This is how I found Skyler this morning when I came downstairs. I swear, I have pictures of Liam at 16 months in the EXACT same position...
