Enjoying the good weather!

The Weather had not been too bad latley...

 So Andrew has been playing LOTS of baseball...his regular practices but also we've been going to the park to practice extra too!

 Last week we had a friend over and went for a walk in the woods

 The kids loved to throw rocks in the river and find bugs...

 We had a good time and got some exersize too

 Andrew is a little more brave then I'd like him to be sometimes...I would tell him, "we only do that when Daddy's here because I have Spencer and I cannot jump into the water to save you if you fall!"

I cannot wait until summer when it will be nice all the time and we can play outside all day!

New Paint, before and after!

This is what our house looked like when we first moved in....pealing paint, old windows, and crappy carport!

Since then we've replaced the windows, added a food storage room, walled in 2 doors and a window, put more siding, torn down two sheds and built one,  encased the carport into a garage and added a roofing piece to the faceboard- our house was a mixture of untreaded wood, primer, new paint, old paint, chipped paint and just a mess all over! FINNALY we found somone to paint it for a reasonable price... I LOVE how it turned out! I think it looks 100% better!

Not to mention I love our Toyota Sienna TONS better then the two GHETTO cars we had when we moved in!!!

Take a Break....It's Spring!

The kids were on Spring break this week so we wanted to get out and enjoy their time off...

 I serriously love spending time with my children...Yes, somtimes they drive me crazy, but most of the time they are great to hang out with!

We went on the "Trolly" and saw all the Animals!

It was fun to bring along a few friends- We've been to NW trek Lots, but it's new and interesting when you bring somone who has never been before!

All the kids had a great time together and wore themselves out!

And we had Lunch, luckily it stayed dry for us the whole time!

On another day we went to the Tacoma Children's Musuem...I love this place!

This is a really great Musem, I like how it's "Pay as you will" and they always have lots of helpers around cleaning up all the messes the kids are making!

 

I just got to sit back, feed Spencer and watch them play!

They are also doing a "Eric Carrl" Theme... because I guess the Tacoma Art Musem is doing one too, I kind of want to go check out the Art Musem now!

On Saturday we went to the Daffodil Parade... we bundled up because we new it was probubly going to rain on us a bit....

But oh man it rained and poured and the WIND... we left early- I think we had enough fun!

Andrew boy lost his other tooth- Now he has a big Hole in his face!!!

I am kind of looking forward to the kids going back to school...now I can stay home, fold some laundry and clean my kitchen!

Zoo, tooth, fridge...

In between holding baby Spencer we've had lots of other stuff going on.... We had a really fun St. Patrick's day and Easter---- And I apparently took NO pictures, OOPS!

 However last week Mallory, Spencer and I took some friends to the Zoo, and that was really fun

 And she of course wanted to ride the Carousel, and hey for a $1 that sounds great!

 Andrew lost his front tooth and the other one is REALLY wiggly! He is growing SO FAST!!!!

 He also started T- ball this week- He LOVES IT!!! I forget how good he is, and I am trying to "coach" him, when we all know that I would not be able to throw the ball half as far as he can! When I get the Game schedule I will let people know when his games are because he would LOVE it for you guys to come see him play!

 This is a picture of Mallory "coloring"...mostly I was entertaining her trying to kill time!

 The calender says it's spring so Malachi put up the Trampoline that we bought last black Friday- it's been sitting in the box in our garage for 6 months and he just couldn't wait any longer! Who cares if it's 50 degrees and raining- lets go jump on the trampoline!

 Two weeks ago we have a Appliance explosion at our house- out fridge went out so we had to buy a new one. I like our old fridge better but this one actually keeps the milk cold, and it has water in the door so the kids LOVE it!

 ... while we were there we found a super good deal on a Washer/dryer set and decided that we wanted to have a dryer that actually dried our clothes, and since the delivery truck was coming anyway we decided to kill two birds with one stone!

While I was taking the picture of the Fridge the kids were doing puzzles in the kitchen and wanted a picture of them---- Cute kids huh?

This week is Spring break for us...It's really fun to have the kids home so we can spend time together, more pictures to come!

Baby Spencer

So This is Baby Spencer...he lives at our house.

 We are not sure how long he will be here or when he will leave...

 so we are just enjoying every minute with him while he is here

 He is SUCH a Cute boy...

 Everyone just loves him!

 Spencer is a really good little baby boy...

 So everyone likes to hold him, but he is growing fast!

 I have LOTS of good helpers!

He is a good sleeper

 It's great to have a baby in the house

And we will be sad when he has to leave....but it will be okay!
