Oregon 2010

Since Spencer had youth conference and scout camp back to back I decided to take the boys on a little vacation up to Oregon. It was Ethans first trip up to see my family. His first plane ride too!! He did pretty well with it all, he didn't like being held on the plane but luckily its only a 2 hr flight and we gave him lots of snacks to keep him happy :)
The weather was beautiful and it was great to see everyone. We didn't do anything really exciting, just had a relaxing week and visited with family.

Uncle Shane runs the community pool in the small town where my parents live, so we got to go play in the pool in the off hours-its so great to have the whole pool to ourselves!! Of course, the boys both loved it. Ethan sat in the kiddie area and splashed most of the time.

Great Grandma Wetzel and Spidey

Great Grandpa Wetzel found this Spiderman costume at a garage sale and saved it for Eli. I think this was Eli's favorite part of the whole trip!! Everytime we turned around he was trying to change into this costume!!

Thank You to all my family for the wonderful trip, We miss you all, and look forward to seeing you again soon!!!

The Boys

Our boys are growing up sooo quickly. Eli is going to be starting Preschool this fall-he is so excited for school!! He had to bring his backpack and a show-n-tell along when we went and met with his teacher, He wasn't shy or nervous at all of course, he just went ahead and talked her ear off, telling her all kinds of random stories :)
Ethan is crawling around like a pro and is anxious to start walking, so he can keep up with Eli. Since the weather finally got nice, he has loved going outside and getting as dirty as possible-he's such a boy!

Ethan is pulling himself up on all the furniture and then he'll let go and see how long he can stand all by himself

Oreos......mmmmmmmmmm, good!!

Ethan loves to splash in the bathtub, I always end up just as wet as they are!!

Wicked

The weekend after we got home from Florida I left again, this time to San Fransisco for a fun girls getaway!!! I had never been to San Fran before and I found it to be a very diverse and interesting city and I think I would rename it the Windy City, the wind blew and blew the whole time we were there, my skin was so wind chapped by the time we got home.
We had a great weekend of shopping, yummy food and good times but the main item on the agenda- "WICKED" The play was so so amazing, I wish I could see it again, I keep trying to talk Spencer into going..........maybe someday.

We went and walked to the half way point of the Golden Gate Bridge

We also went shopping down at the pier- Fishermans Wharf

Vacation-Disney World

I can't believe its been over 2 months since I last posted-I've got a lot of catch up to do!!!!

In May we took a week long vacation to Florida. Just Spencer and I & Aleisha and Ty-no kids :)
We had a great time and it was nice to be able to get away from our everyday lives for a short time. Especially for Spence, he's been working so hard, he really needed a vacation to recharge.
We spent most of our vacation in Disney World, "The Happiest place on Earth", it's soooo big and there's soooo much to see. Lots of Good Times!!!

Easter 2010

Wow, it seems like forever since I've posted. Life just keeps getting busier and busier no matter what we try to do to slow it down. Well, last weekend was Easter and we had our traditional Easter Egg Hunt in Grandma Fuhrimans backyard with all the cousins. It was alot of fun and we were happy that we didn't have to search for eggs in the snow!!! It was still a little chilly but there was no stopping the kids when they saw there was candy in the yard :) We got to have a yummy lunch and talk with some family that we don't get to see as often as we'd like. The day was going great until Eli decided to eat one of his hardboiled eggs he had in his basket, what a mess!!! He took one bite of the egg and then threw-up all over the kitchen floor, I guess he won't be eating those again!!!
