Moments why we have kids

Just wanted to share this story with someone. It is way to early to start calling. This morning Will and Annmarie asked for pancakes, which means waffles. I mixed the batter and left it on the counter while the iron was heating up. I then went to open the back door to let in some of the wonderful 65 degree weather. When I came back Will told me he has made a pancake. He took the bowl off the counter and made a pancake on the ground. I was a little miffed and started to clean up the mess. When I was all done Will says while giving me a hug "You are such a great help. Thanks Mom." just wanted to share this story with someone. You gotta love kids. We will be posting again Sunday with photos and a recap of Will's 3rd birthday. Stay tuned for all the excitement.

Favorite Movie Buddy

As you can tell Jeffrey really loves Will to hold him

After a discussion with a Blog "Master" of sorts. I am stealing an idea from him. I am going to have questions every now and then. Since my life is not all that thrilling and you don't want to hear that Will still picks up Jeffrey and carries him around the house, Annmarie has Strep throat, and Jeffrey is crawling at speeds that make Will run after him. (I am sure this is not his desire but just to get away from him.)





So here is my first question to all.





Who is your favorite person to watch a movie with and why?





For example my favorite person is Owen (my brother in Law) the reason why when watching Fugitive with him for the first time ever. The characters are in the hotel in the laundry room at the end of the movie. They are creeping around, Owen is pacing in our family room (in victor), then The bad guy (i forgot his name the Dr dude) pushes a metal bar at one of the Marshall's. It smacks him in the head and down he goes. While the bar is being pushed and at the moment it hits the guy in the face Owen falls to the floor. It was like he was trying to get out of the way of the bar himself.


I have never laughed so hard. From that day on I have loved watching movies with Owen.





Now it is your turn.

Here we go!

Jeffrey learning how to crawl.

I love this photo. When Will and Jackson saw each other for the first time then just started wrestling. It was so funny.

This is how these two spent most days in seattle. Will pushing and Annmarie "driving".

Well we are now entering the age of Blogging. I still have no idea really what it is but I will probably post info her more often than sending out emails so why not. The best thing about this blog is that there is spell check!!! Not that we will always remember to check it.
We spent 3 great weeks in Seattle this summer. It was so hard to come back home. Chris went White water rafting with Owen and a bunch of 14 - 18 yr old guys. He had a great time. Will and Annmarie loved playing outside and playing with their cousins. Jeffrey learned how to crawl and eat applesauce. He loves both. But I think that he loves food more than anything. I just enjoyed spending time out of 110 degree weather and being with family.

Since we have been back life has returned to normal. Will has been potty trained and the temperature has cooled down some.

Hopefully I will figure out how to place the photos better in the future. We shall see how good I am at updating as well.
