Cooper's Pride and Joy...

Cooper LOVES frogs to say the least. When he was 4 months old we were in Harvest Market, a local grocery store in Fort Bragg. We saw this soft blanket, that just so happened to have a frog on the end. We started to put it over him when he would sleep and soon enough he would not go to sleep without it. Here we are 2 1/2 years later and it has come to the point where it can't be out of sight. He calls him Frog-Frog his pride and joy!!! I guess this will be the story we will tell his girlfriend 15 years down the road...

Our Silly Boys...

This is what happens when you take a trip to the mall with The Graham Boys...

Our Poor Little Gabers :(

Gabers took a header into our fireplace. Luckily he fell into the glass and not an open flame, but it still did enough damage to mess up his perfect little face. He was such a tough little man at the ER, he let the nurse clean out his burns and was joking the whole time...

Our new screen for the fireplace...we are making sure this will NOT happen again!!!

Snowboarding Trip To Baker...

We finally took the long 45 minute drive to Mt. Baker Ski resort. Gabe made it clear that he did not want to Ski he wanted to Snowboard! The instructors also made it clear that they only recommend children over 7 snowboard and that any age younger should learn to ski. So we got Gabe private lessons SNOWBOARDING and he was amazing!! He picked it up so fast, everyone was very impressed he was a natural. Our best friends who came up from California have been snowboarding for years, (Conan and Mel) they were a big help with both Sam and Gabe. Our other great friends from Washington Ian and Alicia got to share this great trip with us and were a lot of help as well. Alicia and Coop are very close (as you can see in the pictures) and Ian loves the boys just as much. We are very grateful that we were blessed with such great friends in our lives and are able to make such wonderful memories with them...

Vancouver B.C.

As you all know we had friends come up from California. One of our outings was to the Vancouver Aquarium, which was amazing. Here are some pictures of our trip, we have many more I will share later...

Can't Wait...

Some of our best friends are coming and we can't wait. It has been WAY too long since we all have seen each other...we went from seeing each other every other weekend to once a year and that has been hard for us. I know we all are so excited to have them come visit...11 more days and the fun begins...woo hoo!!!
