They didn't notice at all

Feeding the ducks

Ok, not the best photos!! We have spent a great deal of time recently feeding the ducks around Tualatin. On this day we had a huge Nordstrom bag full of old bread and bagels all cuts up ready to feed to the ducks. We started out at the Commons, which is a man made "lake" of sorts in the center of town for those of you who don't know it. Jack and Isabella had a lot of fun running around and trying to get the ducks to eat. Jack then spent a nice amount of time lagging behind eating the old bread and bagels instead of feeding it to the ducks. He didn't get sick but it was still gross. We ended the afternoon here in the above pics at Shari's where more of the ducks have started hanging out, the only draw back is that the slope is very steep and Jack wasn't interested in staying away from the edge.

The delay

Well it was brought to my attention today that I haven't been updating the blog, sorry all this work and not play is making me not only dull but behind in blogging as well. So I am going to try to post some photos today from the last month or so, they will most likely not be in any specific order but new none the less. Love and kisses to you all.....enjoy

Field Trip to the Tualatin Valley Fire Dept

One of the last field trips of the school year, and what a great time all the kids had going to the fire house. Isabella was very excited to meet the firemen and learn all about the station and what all the gadgets did. Heidi was able to go along on this one and snap some wonderful shots of Isabella being herself....very outgoing!! I think my favorite one is the picture of her with the fire hat on.

new mini trampoline

Heidi and I found a great deal on a little trampoline last weekend, 5 feet across of very fun jumping area, they could jump all day!! It's kind of nice that we can zip them in so that they can't fall out and hurt themselves as well.

Random Isabella

Hanging in the car with Mom and my new drawing pad
Pig Tails and a very happy face...I am not sure how long the hair actually stayed up this day.

Paige is explaining to Isabella why she is wearing a shirt that should fit Isabella!! Just kidding....Paige's friend got her a shirt from Disneyland and it was a "titch" too small

Random Jack

Ok, so we didn't mean for him to be dressed like a little old man. It just worked out that way!! He loves his new dinosaur Vans...aka slip-ons, add a turtle neck, sweat shirt and sweat pants and Voila!! you get old man!!
Jack and one of the many "babies" that he loves to hug and haul around the house.

Stepping into the BIG sister role

While at Sears the other day to get parts for the lawn mower, Isabella decided that it is time that she is the big sister and gets to push Jack and his baby.

Shoe shopping with my big sister

When you are lucky enough to have a big sister with some style, you get to take really fun photos at Nordstrom!! Where was the sun when these were taken?? I guess they just wanted to be prepared.

Check me out!!

Great Photo, looks like he is way to cool for his jersey. Really he is probably watching the squirrels in the tree. Make up your own story...might be more fun.

More yard play

Playing with the bubble blower Hippo in the driveway, nothing more exciting when you're little

HEEEEYYYYYYYY!!

Always a ham when the camera comes out!! Love it more each day, the way that they will hold still for just long enough to take a photo and then run to you to see what it looks like. All the time yelling "let me see, let me see"

Driving the SUV of shopping carts

Very Candid pic of us going to Fred Meyer a few weeks ago, as long as you get the biggest cart the kids are more likely to hold still and let you shop for at least 10 minutes before wanting to get out and destroy the store....oh, well at least that is Jack
