Baby #2 On It's Way!!!!

We just found out we are expecting again and are so excited! This one was planned so we weren't in shock (aka pleasently surprised!) as we were with Halina. The baby is due April 1, 2009. No nausea or other strange symptoms yet, but will keep you updated :).

4th of July Weekend

Early evening on the 4th. Halina is cleaning up the pool toys before we headed out to see some fireworks.

Just before fireworks with Cousins.

Kloe, Kat, and Kate
Hallie fell asleep with her hand over her ear. I guess the motor was a little loud for her, so she took care of that! Auntie was there to hold her while we did some skiing.
Landon wake boarding.
On our way back to land. All of us were very tired.

At Home with Mommy

Just some pictures of Halina and Mommy at home. The first one is after Hip Hop class. Halina was ready for bed!

Clayson's Birthday

Yeah! Baby Clayson tured one! Hallie had a great time going to Clayson's birthday. She loved playing with all of Clayson's toys! Clayson's Mommy, Marise.
Alexandria and Halina... say cheese!

Alexandria's Recital

Last night we got to attend Alexandria's first recital. Alexandria's dance group were the star's of the show. They were absolutely adorable with all their bouncing and personalities. Bravo Alexandria! Beside Alexandria is her Mommy and Daddy (Marise and James).
































This is Hallie and I goofing off before we headed in to the theater. I didn't really know what to expect with Hallie iin the theater, so I thought it would be a good idea if she ran around a bit before having to sit still in the auditorium. Halina really loved watching the recital. After every dance Hallie would shout "more dancing" or "where ballerina?"

Grandpa's Visit & Stefanie's Birthday

Last week Grandpa came to visit from Washington. This was his first time seeing Halina in person. We have all visited through the XBOX Live web cams, so that has helped us stay close and connected. Below is Landon and Dad playing Rainbow 6 on XBOX. They're probably playing with Stefanie's brother Max and Dad's neighbor Jim.

Waiting for our table at the Tokyo Garden to celebrate Stefanie's 26h Birthday! Grandpa and Halina are being well behaved and content!



Getting ready to head out to the pool. While Landon, Stefanie, and Halina played in the kiddy pool, Grandpa swam in the lap pool to train for his upcoming triathalon.This is the first time Hallie has actually kept her sunglasses on. She really enjoyed lookng at the sun with them.

Playdate with Alexandria

Halina and Alexandria having fun playing with jewelry. Halina loved following Alexandria around. She's a great role model for Hallie. If only Hallie could learn some of her adorable poses!

Fun with Cousins

Rock Climbing with Church Friends

This was Katelynn, Kloe and I's first tme climbing. Landon used to be a rock climbing guide, but since we met he stopped climbing. I guess that's part of getting married and having kids, you give up some interests to gain others. Hopefully in the future he can take Hallie and I up for the real thing.

Katelynn and I looking down at Landon.

Linda and KloeHallie wasn't big enough to climb yet, so she decided to entertain herself with the fan. She kept saying "oooohhhhh windy."
Kloe and I conquering a little more advanced wall.

Don't touch this?

These pictures really capture Halina's thought process about touching things that she's not suppose to.

Growing Up So Fast
