Her are my angels at 3mos

My nephews are getting so big. They are now 3 months old. I am so excited for I get to finally meet them in a few days. I can't wait to hold them and give them lots of kisses. Tyler is on the left, Joseph in the middle and Mason on the right. I am amazed every time I see their picture of God's miracle. How blessed Nancy & Joe are with these little guys. What a blessing they are to everyone around them. Even the nurses at the fertility office are in love with them. What's even better is that their pediatrician's office is across from the fertility office so the nurses get to see the boys often. They nurses have loved Nancy & Joe through so much sadness and joy. God has used them so much - they are quite a blessing. Thank you all for your prayers for Nancy & Joe. Isn't it amazing what God can do?

Escape to San Juan Island

Hey everyone, well, Matthew and I decided to runaway for the weekend to San Juan Island. For those of you not familiar with this place, its an island off the coast of the Seattle area before crossing into Canada. It's so beautiful and quiet there. We caught the ferry from Anacortes, WA over to Friday Harbor which is in San Juan Island. We relaxed at a wonderful Bed & Breadfast (highly recommend "Hillside House"), went fishing hoping to catch fish (more of that later), got to see the whales and harbor seals, enjoyed the beautiful sunset, hiked, visited a winery, and then played in Seattle for a day. We had a blast and enjoyed spending quality time together. Enjoy the pictures!

Fishing Adventure

Here we are fishing off the coast of San Juan Island. Matthew was excited to catch some fish. Well, you'll get to see in the next picture his catch. It was hilarious but what really made the trip worth it for me was to see the Orcas swim by....I was the only person on the boat excited...everyone else wanted them to go away so they would not scare the fish. Then while sitting there we saw the harbor seals sticking their heads out of the water and looking around. It was AWESOME!

Here's my honey enjoying the brisk morning air by the water

This is a cute little Chapel by the winery

Check out this big Maple leaf - I've never seen a leave quite this big.

Lighthouse on San Juan Island

This is a lighthouse on San Juan Island. We enjoyed hiking down to the water hoping to see the Orcas. No Orcas swimming by but the morning was beautiful.

Trip to the Oregon Zoo

Hey all, well, we had to squeeze in a trip to the Oregon Zoo before the rain comes in. The day was beautiful and we had a great time. In the background you may be able to see the elephant. Kaitlyn loved the zebra and the giraffe. Clayton's favorite was the zebra. Some of the exhibits made Kaitlyn so scared that she had to be held because you went into a dark room. Once she understood what was going on she was much better.

Check out the boys mapping out our next steps during our lunch break....we were getting tired but we just had to find the giraffe and elephant. Clayton was the pro and was telling Dad the best way to go.

Kaitlyn sees a giraffe for the first time....and it was so close to us so that made it even better.

Pictures of Connor

Here's Connor playing on the floor. He's teething so he's drooling a lot. With an ear infection and he's still his easy-going self. My sitter doesn't think so...he may have wanted Mama.
I love this picture of him playing...I often wonder what he's thinking. You can really see his long eye lashes.

Connor turns 11 mos

Hey everyone, well Connor turns 11 mos today. I cannot believe how fast this year has gone by. You can see his teeth coming in. He's standing a lot more and lets go while holding something in his hand. He's also walking along furniture much more. He loves to play pat-a-cake and will start singing so you can play with him. He even started dancing to some music over the weekend. Oh, and I could not believe what he did to me...he crawled to my leg, stood up, grabbed my hand and put it under his arm so that I would carry him. He's too smart....wants me to hold him ALL the time....he's so heavy. I think I may be lopsided by now. He loves to sit on my lap while watching his favorite video - Baby Einstein. And when he sees Dad he dives for him so he can get lots of kisses. He's quiet though for the most part unless he sees you eating and then he wants some. He's quite the easy going dude. We love him LOTS!

Triplets 9wks

Here are my nephews at 9wks old. They are getting so big. Tyler is on the left, Mason in the middle and Joseph on the right. I can't wait to meet them next month. They are smiling a lot and cooing. They roll over and push themselves up when having tummy time. These boys are definitely a miracle from heaven. What a blessing they are!
