As we were preparing for our vacation, we cleaned off our camera and found some good videos, enjoy.

 

 

Hey Everyone. Here are some of our latest photos. We have had some NICE weather. I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial day. We did.

 The boys are growing like crazy and getting better and better at playing with each other. Connor has more teeth and has many more words.

 Andrew is making more sentences on his own. It's not just repeating Tyler and I. He has had several comments that have cracked Tyler and I up.

 Tyler and I are doing well. Work is good. We have offically set our time to be back on the East Coast. We will see who we can in July. Of course we hope to see you all. Well take care and I will post some more pictures when we have them. OH and the ones of them painting were taken today. They had a blast.

Here are a bunch of pictures and a video of Andrew playing some baseball.  While it may look like I tripped him/pushed him down near the end of the video, I didn't touch him, honestly.

 

 

Just wanted to post some pictures from our drive through the Cascades and over to Leavenworth, a bavarian town.  It was pretty amazing how they themed pretty much everything, down to the banks and grocery stores.  Felt like you were in a different country.  Enjoys the pictures.

So Andrew's camera finally got full. I took the pictures off and thought that maybe some of you would enjoy seeing what a day (maybe more like a month) in life of Andrew is like. They aren't the best photos but some of them are really cute and things that I wouldn't hvave been able to take pictures of. I hope you enjoy them. I know I did.

WOW am I sorry for the delay. I have been wanting and needing to do this for about 3 weeks now. Let's see what has happened?? Well I am now 24 years old...YIPPEE!! I can hardly believe that. The boys helped me to celebrate (all of them). It was a good day. Thank you to all of you who sent me cards, called and got me gifts. You helped to make my day extra special as well.  We also got new carpet and MOM IS HAPPY! I love it. We didn't do all carpet like it was our dinning room is now laminate that looks like hard wood. The boys like that. They also like the carpet. It was an interesting two days with having the boys trapped in one room so the men could get their work done. The boys were champs and the men worked hard to get done by 12.

 Connor is starting to act like he is 2 years old. He's having more fits and not liking the word NO and he will let you know when he doesn't agree with you. We are also trying to figure out just what to feed that child. HE seems to not like anything anymore. He will eat yogurt, cheese, pretzels, and pasta. Hopefully it's just a stage (oh please let it be a stage). We aren't' giving up...he still has to try new foods. He is also running now. Not just walking but running, he really wants to keep up with brother. He's just a fun kid. He likes to climb, be outside, play peek-a-boo, give hugs and kisses, he knows how mommy works and what buttons to push and how to get away with things. Oh he's going to be a fun BOY. ALL BOY!

 Andrew is just a fun loving two year old. He's still into his sports. Loves trying to help Connor with everything he's doing. He will go and cook in the ktichen when I'm cooking. He loves to help you in whatever your doing. He's got such a caring heart. Today when Connor was upset he was rubbing his back telling him "it will be okay, Connor. You'll be okay." Melt my heart. They are also trying to learn how to be brothers and share everything including Mom and Dad. Mom and Dad are trying to figure out how to spilt their time. We are also trying to figure out Andrew's sleeping because he's just not wanting to stay in his bed at night.

 Tyler and I are good. Tyler's work is good. He's still enjoying what he's working on. My work has been calling me off due to a lack of Childern coming to the child care. We are taking turns to workout at home and it's really nice to feel fit and spend some time together. Well I hope this finds all of you doing well. Take care.

Hi Everyone. So we have been home for a while now we just haven't gotten to the blog. You will see that Connor got his first haircut. Given by me (that's the reason there are only photos afterwards). Things are pretty much the same around here. The boys are just changing and growing everyday. They are good boys. Connor is saying some words...Mom, Dad, Hi and Bye. Sometimes he tries to say other words but Mom, Dad, hi and bye are his favorites.

 We are getting ready to get some new carpet put into the Condo. I CAN'T WAIT! We are also about to celebrate my birthday. Am I really going to be 24? WOW. We have all had our turn with a bug that's going around. Connor is hopefully on his last day of haivng it. Andrew I still am not sure if he's had it or if he's getting it? Nothing really slows him down.

 Well the boys are waking up from naps. Hope you are all having a good start to your New Year. Take care.

Just wanted to say Merry Christmas.  Enjoy the videos and pictures.

 

Hello everyone. I'm so sorry it's been so long.  I hope you all had a good Thankgiving. We did. We played some two hand touch football and we went to a friends for lucnh/dinner. It was a good time. The boys loved it.

 Let's see what we need to update you on. Connor is trying to walk and has managed to take a few steps all on his own and Andrew is just talking more and more. We now have conversations with one another and it's the sweetest thing ever.

 Tyler is still doing well at his job. They just moved offices and he now has a longer commute. As for me I'm still at the pro club two days a week and then hanging with my boys the rest of the time.

 I hope you all enjoy the photos and again I'm sorry for the delay. Thanks for your patience and for checking in. Take care. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MOST OF YOU IN TWO WEEKS!

Hey Everyone, It's Steph writing for a change. We have a had a fun month of october. Andrew is speaking full sentences. Connor is doing his best to try and walk. He stands on his own for a long time now. Connor also has five teeth. Two bottom, three top and we are working on the fourth top. They are good boys and we have lots of fun. As you will see we have had a beautiful, unusual October out here.Andrew is into his reading. He loves reading about Mickey Mouse. The boys also play well together. They certianly love each other, maybe a little too much at times. They have already started to show Tyler and I how much fun they are planning on having together. At bedtime they like to talk and play. Andrew wonders over to Connor's crib and Connor stands and laughes with him. It makes Tyler and I smile everytime.  
 Tyler and I are doing well. Tyler's work is going well. He's enjoying his new team and liking what he works on. My work is good, I'm thinking of leaving so I can stay home and enjoy my boys more. I'm pretty sure that that will be happening this month. I'm just ready for a change and ready to be home.
 Halloween was fun. I took the boys to pro club. Andrew partcipated in class with me and Connor stayed in the baby room and had some fun in there. Then we just hung out at the house and watched a movie. We had one trick-or-treater. Tyler and I are both fighting of colds. TONS OF FUN. We will be having a visitor this Monday. It's my friend Lauren from college.

 We have set our dates for coming home in December. We will be on the east coast from December 16th to the 31st. Can't wait to see all who will be there. Hope you enjoy our pictures. I certianly enjoyed taking them.

Just wanted to post some pictures from the past month or so.  Andrew and Connor are still enjoying having Grandma here, as you can see from the pictures.  Sorry for the long delay between postings.

Just wanted to give you an update that Connor is crawling and got his bottom two front teeth.  Here are two videos of him.  The first one is just him being shy and playing on camera and the second is him just starting to crawl.  That was a few days ago, now he is cruising all around house, keeping our hands full.

Well, Andrew's birthday week finally came to a close.  He had a fun birthday shopping spree at toys-r-us on Thursday, which resulted in the radio flyer wagon, a big birthday party on Saturday and then a Mariners game on Sunday where he got to run the bases after the game.  I wasn't positive if he would even make it to first but he proved me wrong and sprinted around the bases(besides for stopping to tie his shoes).  He has been non-stop playing with all of his new toys as well.  Thank you very much Dan and Julia for the guitar which doesn't have a quiet setting, Andrew loves it. 

Well, we are back home.  Just wanted to thank everyone for a great time back on the east coast.   I would write more, but I only got 4 hours of sleep last night and I am still on east coast time, which means it is 1 AM right now.  Might take you a while to look through the pictures, enjoy the 199 pictures from Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

Well, we decided to get a new camera.  This really just means two things.  You get even more pictures then normal and you get to see the fine details of Connor's carrot beard.  Enjoy.  See everyone if a few days.

Well, it was in the 90s here yesterday, so we decided to go to the zoo.  As you can see, we went with our friends Dan and Julia.  Andrew had a great time.  He was a big fan of the elephants.  Enjoy.

Just wanted to say Happy Mother's Day and show you our new soccer pro.

Well, we certainly are getting some weird weather out here.  It was 84 and sunny for my birthday and then we had a snow storm the next weekend.  The boys are growing like crazy.  Andrew hasn't been feeling too well lately but he is hanging in there.  You could never tell anything is wrong by looking at him, he is always running around bouncing off the walls.  As you can see, he loves playing soccer(or any other sport involving a ball for that matter).

 

Enjoy the pictures.
