Congratulations Frank!

You Can Put It On the Board, Yes!

Another Birthday Wish......

Just a taste-more to come....

the drop off

I dropped Ben and Dane at the airport last week so they could head off on their great adventure to "Ellewee's house in England." We arrived at this gas station after about 4 or 5 hours of travelling (including Target stop etc.). As we pull in, sweaty and hot, tired of driving, Ben says, "Ellewee's House?"
"Oh honey," we thought, "you have a long way to go!" But they made it and are having a blast! More pictures soon, but are these not the best?

Happy Birthday Aunt Julie!

Here is a poorly edited little video that needs no real explanation.
We would also like to wish Rachel a happy birthday too but we know she isn't checking the internet on her honeymoon (:

behold!

Some of you may remember the post from Feb 2008 when my lovely hairdresser Lisa came to my home while I was on bed rest to give me a trim (her idea!). Well today, Ben had his first cut from Lisa. Dad made him pose.

EZRA!

Our great friends, the Arntzens (Courtney, Alec and Ezra) came to visit us this weekend. They are on a whirl wind trip around the Northwestern USA and we are so thankful they decided to detour to Vancouver. You may know Courtney and Alec from things like "my housemates for two years," "the people we took the train to visit in Montana" or a fun Christmas break activity called "sloth day." They are really great and we were able to meet their son, Ezra, for the first time. He is about 5 months younger than Ben. Fun times! "Hi Ben! Hi Ben!" was what I heard the most.
Here is a sweet shot of the boys. Us ladies were busy recovering from our epic bike ride/fire works show/we were out past midnight night.
