We have trees!

It took us about a year but we finally got trees in our back yard. Jacob has worked so hard doing the sprinkler system, laying the grass and now we are getting closer to being done. Jacob got his three pine trees and I got my shade tree I wanted. We also got some palms and a bradford pear. It is starting to look really nice and all the hard work is finally paying off. We hope to finish it soon but time is our problem the weekends are gone so fast. It will get done though. The kids are also enjoying helping when they want to for about ten minutes.

Trampoline

The kids are on the trampoline every day. Paige even joined them today along with their cousins. They are of course in their dress up clothes and having a great time. Our cousins are closer to us now. They just moved walking distance from us and we love seeing them more.

Girl Scout Cookies

Jacob and I both bought Girl Scout Cookies this year. Paige helped us with them. She loves chocolate. This will be the last year we will not be selling Girl Scout Cookies. We have three new Girl Scouts now. Savannah is a Brownie and has earned two badges. Hannah and Kaylie are Daisies and they have earned two pedal badges. They are loving it and having lots of fun.

Silly Hat Day

It was silly hat day at Norris Elementary. The girls helped design their hats and were dissapointed when they did not win but enjoyed being silly for the day.

Graham Crackers

Paige just started eating big girl food. Her favorite is graham crackers. She sure can make a mess though. She is also doing this thing with her tongue all the time. She loves to stick it out. We are not quite sure what that is all about.

Savannah is Published!

Savannah published her first book and I got to listen to her read it to her class. It was about a camping trip with a fun trail. She is a great reader and she has a great imagination. She was so excited about it that she asked me to come hear her and I am glad that I did. The kids in her class said it was the best story ever.

Our Aniversary

It has been two years already. We were able to celebrate at the beach this year. We went to a restaraunt with awesome clam chowder. Grandma and Grandpa Bigelow and Grandma Bulkeley watched the kids at the condo and they had a great time too.

Paige at the Beach

This was Paige's first visit to the beach. She loved the breeze and the ocean sound. She took a good nap and then woke up to play. She tasted the sand and felt the water with her toes. She didn't even mind the water. Later we went swimming and she was splashing all over the place.

Avila Beach

February 17th, 2007 - Here we are on the balcony of Grandma and Grandpa Bigelow's condo for the week. We came to the beach and it was summer weather. It wasn't too hot or cold it was perfect. The girls were very excited to go to the beach. When we got there they thought that they would just play in the sand. When they noticed their hands were all dirty we told them to wash them off in the ocean and they were hooked. They went in and out of the waves and even did some wave jumping. They were getting brave and had a great time.
