Race to Robie Creek

Chris has been training for his first 1/2 marathon. It is the most brutal race in the north west. 1/2 of it is up hill. He ran it with a friend who unfortunately had problems part way in. Chris being the team player that he is he stopped running and walked part way with his friend. When able he started running again. They finished the race together in 2 hours. He will continue to train and hopes to run his next one soon. Information on this marathon is under the name Race to Robie Creek.

Easter Day

Presents are fun!

The Eggs were fun but I really love ripping up the tissue paper!

Gathering his Eggs.

Little man couldn't really look for eggs outside so we set up a green bedspread with Tysons Easter Eggs on it. A little corny but hey he had fun!

First the Easter Egg Hunt

Coloring Easter Eggs

Frosting easter cookies all by myself.

Lots of concentration going on.

Baby kisses! We love Baby kisses!

All Tyson wanted to do was get into the dye.

Barry was so excited to color his eggs.

Almost a step

Right now... this is how he ends up. Keep it up little man you'll make it!

Little man is getting very brave. He always wants to turn around and try to take a step.

First bath together

Barry kept asking why Tyson wanted to suck on the wash cloth.

Barry wasn't too sure. He knows what could happen!

Everyday Life

My two hams.... what can I say, they can't resist a photo op!

Grandpa playing on the floor with his boys.

I even know how to take them off by myself. ;)

Cousin Denise wanted to make sure I looked cool! She got me these cool shades.

Allergy tests for Barry Jr.

Barry Jr. has been getting Ear Infections for the last 3 years. Very unusual for his age. Since he is always stuffy we thought maybe he had allergies. He was tested and found to be allergic to outside mold, which there is not much of here in Idaho and Cat Pelt (saliva). So allergies are not the cause. The doctor did find that his Eustachian tubes are collapsed. So it looks like little man will have to have his adenoids out. Second surgery for this poor little guy. But hopefully it will help.

California Visitors

Tyson likes Great Grandpa's glasses.

The next wizard to go to Hogwarts. Will it be Slytherin or Griffendor?? We shall see!

Mommy I want some of that salt water taffy!

Every square inch of this store is stocked with old fashioned candy.

Just walking around inside makes you feel good.

Powell's Sweet Shop. Makes you feel like a kid again.

Aunti Dawn brought me a new toy!

Tyson and Great Grandma

We were so happy Mom and Dad and Dawn and Dave could come for a long weekend over Martin Luther King Day. We had a great time visiting. We were unsure of the weather as we were supposed to have gotten rain so no major plans were made. We went to Powells Old Fashioned candy store, Ordered in a huge amount of chinese food, Pizza, and Mom took us to dinner at Famous Daves BBQ. The boys had a great time visiting with everyone as did we. The weeked ended way too soon.
