Cooper and I took our first mother/son trip to visit my best friend Nicole and her family in Erie, Colorado.  It was so much fun to travel with Cooper.  I loved taking the time to see what he was experiencing 1:1 through the airport, on the plane and throughout this travel adventure.   We went…

Cooper is very proud of his family portrait. Cooper is in blue in the center Daddy is in red on the left Mama is in red above Cooper Nicholas is in blue on the right There is “a yellow border so it can be framed” It is hard to see, but in pencil in the…

I love watching the family build Legos together.  Just another year or two and I think Nicholas will be even more into it.  Right now he is a great cheerleader and very excited to play with whatever the final product is. This was the year of the “doggie house”.  Building support walls out of pillows…

When we are in town we kick off our Christmas festivities the weekend after Thanksgiving.  “Picking” a tree is one of our first stops.  This year’s selection was made in the back of a semi truck in the Costco parking lot.  As you can see from the smiles, the kids are thrilled with this tradition…

So much pool time and the boys loved jumping to Grandpa Eating dinner outside and watching the tiki torches being lit was a…

This is probably one of my very favorite pictures of the boys.  Rob does an amazing job capturing their Halloween excitement each year.  Nicholas pretty early on decided he wanted to be an airplane and didn’t waver from that idea.  I had hoped for one more year of themed costumes, but once Cooper got the…

We went big in September.  Just 1 day after moving Cooper started school and a week after that we were off to Santa Cruz with a trip to Remlinger Farm in between. Having a family day at Remlinger Farm was perfect to give us a chance to have fun as a family and get away…

Before finding a house in Kirkland we signed Cooper up to attend Woodinville Montessori.  We had been looking for a house for a couple of years and believe it took signing a contract to help us finally find a home while continuing a school in Woodinville 😉  This is what I originally thought was the…

Height: 36.5 (67%) Weight: 30lbs 11oz (61%) Nicholas has two “lovies”.  He uses the book Nene made for him as his pillow and must be holding the red spiked ball in a hand.  The ball makes for the funniest sleepy lines/spots on his face and hands. Mr. independent has figured out how to get a…
