Green Lake!
I took the kids down to Green Lake today and then we went and met Thomas for lunch! It was a beautiful day! Elijah rode his bike and Ethan and I just strolled around. We even saw a bunch of turtles sunbathing on a log in the lake! It was very exciting :) When we were on our way home Elijah asked why we couldn't stay there all day...funny because we were there from 10 this morning until around 2:30!!

Howarth Park in Mukilteo
We went to the beach on Monday and it was so much fun! It was kind of cloudy and only around 60 degrees but the kids had a blast, they especially loved playing in the freezing water! Elijah has always been the more cautious bro...Ethan just goes for the gold! So about 15 minutes into our day Ethan had already fallen in head first! But like usual that didn't slow him down. We are so looking forward to more sunny warm days to spend playing outdoors!

23 Weeks!! It's a girl!
Thomas and I are so excited that we are going to have a baby girl! Now if we could just agree on a name, rather if he would just say the name I like is perfect! I had my ultrasound on the 23rd and when I called to tell Thomas and Elijah, Elijah was so excited that he shouted, "I was right!!!" Well he was! He has been telling me since day one that I don't need to go to the Dr. because he knows it's a girl, he is so funny!! Well what a joy! I have already been shopping for the most adorable little dresses and such!

Jungle Playland!
This place was so much fun!! It is another indoor playland up in Mount Vernon! The kids loved it! And some of the slides actually scared me! One of them I would not even go on! Parker was the only brave in the group!! They also have a smaller side for the little guys. Relatively inexpensive and worth the drive! Check it out at www.jungleplayland.com
22 weeks!
Well the time still seems like it is going slow... although when I look at the big pictue, 22 weeks is over half way done! I cannot wait until monday whan we find out if it is a boy or a girl!

Weekly Verse: John 3:16
We have been working with Elijah on bible memory verses since he could talk! He has a really amazing memory, and it helps me to remember too since I have to know if he gets it right! I will try to post a new verse each week. ENJOY!

Captured mid-fall!
Can you believe this! As soon as I click the camera, it never fails. Poor guy always looks like this! At least the end wasn't too bad, he got back up and kept on going!!
Sunny day!!
Today we (myself, Elijah, Ethan, Jayden and Parker) went to Lake Stevens with Kim and Clara to feed the ducks! It was so much fun! Afterwards we ran around a muddy field and threw rocks in the water! Then we went and played at a nearby playground, and spent about 10 minutes in the library! 5 kids in a tiny library makes for a short trip!! I forgot what a little fresh air and running around can do for the little guys! I said nap time today, and they all ran to bed and were fast asleep within 10 minutes!! I think we will go to play outside everyday that it is sunny!!!

What a Beautiful Day!!
Today was so pretty! Still a little chilly out but perfect for a bundled walk, or bike ride! Elijah was happy to take his bike out for a ride for the first time this year! And Ethan just loved running around, even if that meant letting go of Mama's hand and taking off in the parking lot! Scary! But a little crash and a scraped hand stopped that! Poor guy... Thank you God for the sunny day! It was very needed!!
Proud Finish!
Elijah received a panda puzzle for Valentines day and was very excited to finish his first 100 pc. puzzle, with a little help from Papa :) He really is a whiz kid!

Pregnant and Projects
Well I have just entered the 16th week of my pregnancy! Still waiting for that "2nd trimester energy boost" that all the books talk about. We are very excited for our new arrival this coming July! We will soon find out if it is a boy or girl. I am kind of hoping for a girl, but when I think of 3 brothers that sounds really fun too!! Maybe when we find out the gender Thomas will actually talk about names with me lol! He is stuck on Chloe, a name we fell in love with when I was pregnant with Elijah...5 years ago. Well 5 years is a long time... I now love the names Lyla or Mackenzie for a little girl and Levi for a little boy! So we will see what the future (and Papa's thinking) holds!!
We are currently in a two bedroom condo, and plan to be for a while still. So our very near future projects include cleaning, organizing and painting! Then the big switch! Kids get the master bedroom and we will take the smaller room. I am actually really excited because I can kind of redecorate, no more office/library/bedroom all in one, no room for that!!! So we can finally have a normal , romantic ;), bedroom! And the kids really need the space, they are the ones that play in the room all day!! Hopefully our plans continue to flow smoothly, as I would love to have this task done before I am largely uncomfortable! Thankfully With Thomas new job, and the blessing of writing his own schedule, he will be taking a 3 day weekend almost every other week!!
Until next time...
Elijah Is a big 4 year old now, and very proud of it!
One week before Elijah's actual b-day we had his awesome batman birthday party!! We did a small, just a few little buddies birthday. The kids had a lot of fun running around in batman masks and playing with these funny little shooter toys! Elijah was very excited about his party but was also very clear that his party was before his birthday and he wasn't really 4 yet! The very first gift I handed him had a sucker tied to the top... well the sucker was the prize gift of the party, it was very hard for him to focus on the presents with a delicious mouth watering candy in his mouth!!
On his actual birthday we woke him up with "Happy Birthday" This is how the conversation went from there:
Elijah: Is it Tuesday? Mama: Yes. Elijah: The 27th of January? Mama: Yes. Elijah: Very excited Am I 4? Mama: Yes! Elijah: Has jumped up at this point and very loudly and enthusiastically says I DON'T BELIEVE IT!! He is so cute and funny! We were all laughing for quite a while! We had a big birthday breakfast, complete with happy face pancakes and candles again! Elijah got a "man watch" from Mama and Papa.
What a fun week!! Happy Birthday Elijah boy!!
