Christmas Morning

Christmas morning, M and I get kicked out of our own bed, and Adrian sleeps in until almost 9:00am. What a life. :) I'm going to try to update the blog through out the morning so you all can get a play by play so to speak. Merry Christmas to all!

Seasons Greetings

It's that time of the year agian when it looks like it's going to be cold out, it's in the mid 40's over cast, and rainy. We get togeather with friends and family to share in the holiday spirit. It's been a very busy year and we want to wish everyone we know the very best and a very safe holiday. And of course what other time of the year do you sit in front of a dead tree in the living room and eat candy out of your socks?

Adrian's "Lego pile with Lego palm tree"

Are you ready for this?

On Friday M went down to get a hair cut. I thought she was just getting it shortened, oh was I mistaken. When she came in to the living room, I said over and over holy crap!. For years now I have jokingly asked her to cut it this short. Apparently last Friday was that day. She looks good dosen't she?

Class is now in session.

Last weekend our friend Nicole came up to visit. The book they where read is Adrian's favorite now a days. Once they where done Adrian proceeded to read the sub title of the book; "Text and pictures by Ken Robbins." We all stopped for a second to take stock of what had just occurred. Adrian read. He actually read the words to us which was pretty cool. Pretty soon he'll be the one reading to us.

Falling a sleep on the job.

Adrian here fell a sleep right below the table with his bucket and his froggy boots on. If only we could do this at work the world would be a much better place.

Sudden Onset Sleep

Last night Adrian came out with this blanket and was lying on the floor in the entrance to the kitchen. I asked him what he was doing and he told me that he was sleeping. A few minutes later I heard this noise, I was like what is that noise?! I went over to where Adrian was and found him fast a sleep on the floor. He was so out that I was able to vacuum in the other side of the room. Very Cute.

We went on a tour of the Geneva Fire Station on Friday.

Playing in the dirt.

The other day we all went to the park at Lake Padden after walking around the lake. The dump truck that Adrain is playing with is from his Uncle Bruce in Long Island. Adrain takes it everywhere he goes. That day he was covered head to toe in dirt by the end of the morning, it was quite funny.

Adrian got a new pet snake at the zoo. It's name is Snake. Snake hisses at Daddy.

At the end of the day we saw the cows and a donkey.

Saw some big cats.

Adrian and Hannah checking out the giraffes.

We went to Woodland Park Zoo the other day with Hannah and Lars.

Adrian decided the other day that he needed to wear his helmet around the house.

Telescope!

Climbing on the play structure at Lake Padden

Look who got a big boy bed! After refusing for about a week to sleep in his crib/toddler bed, and choosing to sleep only on the couch or floor, we asked Adrian what was wrong with his bed and he told us that it was too small. We figured that we'd have to get him a bigger bed sooner or later...can't have a 12 year old sleeping in a toddler bed. He loves it!

Run around time.

M and Adrian playing outside this afternoon. Adrian was in the middle of going around in a circle saying daddy over and over.

Berry picking with friends!

Yesterday M and Adrian went with Rainbow and Twain to go berry picking. The farm they went to was an organic farm. M brought home blue berries, rasberries and has already made 17 jars of jelly! A jelly making machine.

New Stroller (for mom and dad) I mean Adrain.

This is the new stroller we got a steal on. It's perfect for both M and me, it has an adjustable handle bar, large tires, dual braking system both foot and hand brake. It's Awsome!!!! Plus Adrian likes it too.

Luke's Birthday Party

These shots are from Luke's birthday party. Tom brought his guitar and played happy birthday and other children songs. Everyone loved it and had a great time. Especially the kids.

The first picture is from the other day after I came home. I found the two of them fast asleep for a nap. The second picture is from this past Wednesday. M had gotten a new hair currling set and was attemping to tame her hair. Hair (1) - M (0) Keep up the good fight!
