Andrew had his first Pinewood Derby for Scouts on the 23rd of last month. Unfortunately I was sick so I had to stay home, but Kyle said that his car did well (won 3 races and lost the fourth)
Sorry for yet another blogging gap. I got the great experience of having a sinus infection, an ear infection, and bronchitis all at the same time. Two and a half weeks, some Advair, Zithromax, and vicodine later, and Im finally feeling better. Yeah for modern drugs!!!
Andrew started YMCA basketball about a month ago. He has had two games now, and I thought it would be time to share some pictures.
We are still working on some skills. (ie not traveling, running the right direction, the whole “guarding” thing…. lol) but I think he is having fun and enjoying himself.
Kyle is the assistant coach, and I think Andrew is more in love with the idea of Daddy being coach than he is with actually playing basketball. To be honest, I think watching the son-daddy hero worship more than watching him play lol.
Dylan has had about five hair cuts in his life. His hair just doesn't grow very fast. This summer his hair had turned white from being in the sun and I LOVED it. It represented days at the zoo, park, and playing in the water. So even when it started to get shaggy this fall I let it grow because I didn't want to cut off the white. However he has started complaining about it hanging in his eyes, so I figured it was time for a trim. I was thinking a little bang trim and around the ears and collar. I love his surfer hair and didn't really want to say goodbye.
However he came home with all of his blond bits gone. :(
I dont think Kyle would be to happy with me getting our five year old’s hair frosted lol. So for the next six months I will have to live with his winter non color (its not blond, its not brown, its not grey…)
How Boring
I was a sleepwalker. In fact my childhood nickname was Becky Bump since I used to run into walls and stuff. It usually had to do with me needing to go to the bathroom, and I haven't done it as an adult. Kate however, she has had a few instances of it. Nothing really more than her wandering upstairs looking for the bathroom though. So imagine our surprise when on Thursday at 10pm all of a sudden we hear the front door opening. We looked up from the couch to see what it was, and there was Kate standing there heading out the front door. Kyle directed her to the bathroom and back to bed. So all was well, but it definitely left the both of us a little shaken. All those darn "what ifs" running through our heads.
My little man turned two this past week (on the 15th to be exact) We had some other stuff going on, so we were going to celebrate it on Sunday. Then my Dad’s cousin died so they were gone on Sunday so we moved his party to Monday. Then we were up the Gorge longer than expected Monday and we moved it again. Finally Wednesday night ended up working out for all of us.
Tyler has been huge on fish lately. He love LOVEs to watch me play fishville on facebook. So we introduced him to our friend “Nemo” and it has been true love ever since. Because of his new fishy obsession we decided to take him up the Columbia River Gorge on Monday to the big Fish Hatchery by the Bonneville Dam as a little birthday treat.

I decided to Make Tyler a Nemo cake this year since they are new BFFs. My friend Amber helped me find a good idea that was something I could do. I think he turned out pretty cute. Tyler LOVED it, and that is what counts right?
This Picture is from Christmas Eve at my Parent’s house and is currently part of my desktop right now. Every time I look at it I'm a little shocked at how old my oldest two kids look. I'm used to being shocked about Ty, he seems bigger every morning when he gets out of bed, but the bigger kids growth seems to have slowed to a standstill if you just consider their faces. (the jeans they are perpetually growing out of is another story.)
Not to be super cheesy, but I think I am pretty spanky lucky to have these little people as my kids.
In the beginning I had a small dresser that is in the hall that I put in front of the door so he couldn’t escape. So instead of sleeping in his nice bed, he slept with his head wedged between a wicker dresser and the door.
