Awana

Peter and Ben completed another year in the Awana program.  Ben completed his second Cubbie Book. Peter completed his third book in Sparks and received his Sparky Award.  We were really proud of both of them.  Dirk and I were leaders for the third year.   

Baseball days

Peter played baseball this spring and had a great time.  He really enjoyed it. 

Whistler

                                                     On the peak to peak gondola

We had a great time.  The boys impressed us with their riding abilities.  We all rode the peak to peak gondola, which is pretty amazing.

Peter being a cowboy. He still likes dress-up

Peter and Annie at the 5th Avenue- Grammie treated us to a play- Oklahoma.  We went with GG, Great-Aunt Rosie, and Grammie. It was a treat.

Ben helping Uncle Bill with laying cement and building retaining walls.

The boys loved the cement truck and all the construction.

Snowy Days in Seattle

Annie out in front the house. January 2012. 

We had a whole week of snowy weather.  Peter and Ben both didn't have school.  It was a great time.

Peter being silly.

Peter built a jump out in front of the house.  He had a great time going off of it.

Cowboy Ben

The boys are going to be cowboys for Halloween along with Dirk and I. I will be a cowgirl. Ben got to go to a special night class at school to carve his pumpkin and of-course he wore his costume. So much fun. He loves being a cowboy.

Tooth

A few weeks ago Peter lost his first tooth- very exciting. He has been patiently waiting to lose a tooth. Peter is liking 1st grade but still really misses Hawaii. He likes his teacher and he seems pretty happy. His Dad and other family members built him an awesome treefort for his Birthday. He is growing up too fast. Today he stayed home from school sick and fell asleep on my lap which brought many good memories of him sleeping on my lap when he was a baby. I didn't get much done today but it was nice to snuggle with my big boy.
