Hello, Jack!

SNOW!

Yep, that's right. We got some snow. It lasted for about 2 days, but Annabelle got a snow day out of it! The kids got to play in it, so fun was had by all.

It's been a long time again, I know. Things have been busy around here, and we've been hit with sickness galore! Here are a couple of pics of the goofy kids... helping Ryan and I pack for our trip to Whistler, cuddling on the chair and playing in the new tv box. Enjoy!

The Beach

Sometimes I forget how close we are to the beach! Yesterday, we walked a new trail that leads straight to the beach with a fabulous view when it's not foggy! We got some great pictures (I actually remembered my camera!). It was pretty chilly down there, so we didn't stay long, but we did get some good rock-climbing and throwing in!

Future Guitar Hero...

We bought Guitar Hero last weekend. Luckily, our friends brought their guitar over too, so Jack had his own. He didn't take it off all night... He even has two 'rocker faces'... and will usually do them on command. What a ham.

Christmas Recap

We had a wonderful christmas here at home this year. Uncle Eric came to stay with us for a week, then Grandma and Grandpa Barge, and Uncle Brian, Aunt Jenn and Charlie came at Christmas. We are so thankful that everyone got here and then back home again safely despite the weather. It was a white christmas here, which is unusual for Washington! Our weekend was filled with laughs, family and food of course! The kids had lots of fun playing together. We were very blessed this Christmas season. We missed all our family back in Spokane and the midwest, and were thinking of you all.
Bring on 2009!

Look at all the snow!




There's got to be some food in there somewhere...

Uh Oh, busted!
