I Voted!

Well, we both did but I wasn't privy to Josh's ballot.  I took lots of pictures as we went through the process this year because I want to be able to tell the story for the boys.  I want them to know how very important this election is for us now and for their future!  So with hope for change and some prayers for victory, I'll get this off in the mail!

This Kid...

is FIVE!  Of course in this picture he looks about seven but really

I cannot believe my baby is FIVE!  We are so very lucky to get to guide 

this guy through his life.  Boone is such a great big brother & teaches us new things everyday.

Happy Birthday Buddy!  We love you!

A Saturday Walk...

in the canyon with Papa.  The blackberries were a treat that my little mancubs found on the way.

If the Candidates were Trains...

This was too cute, thanks Jess!

Holy Cow, err Pumpkin!

Check out what we saw on the way home from day care today!  This baby was huge and loaded on a palate.  I took this with my iPhone while we were driving (super safe, I know) so that explains the weird tilt.  I am pretty sure that truck wasn't really leaning that far over.  

Badger Mountain

I actually made it up the short but very steep North Trail on Badger Mountain yesterday.  One of my coworkers convinced me to go with her and I am so glad I did.  It was really a challenge since I am so out of shape.  I wouldn't let myself look at the view on the way up, savoring for my reward on the way down.  There was a full moon coming up at dusk, it was just gorgeous.  I cannot believe how much the Tri-Cities is growing and man, you can really tell when you are up that high!  I wasn't smart enough to bring my camera, not that I would have been able to carry it, so I borrowed this image.  This will have to be my plan for Spring Training if I am going to hike the long trail at Mottet this summer!  

Tom Cruise as The Emperor!

Tom Cruise is as creepy as a scary clown!

Is this their attempt to go "green"?

These new pampers are kind of gross and still environmentally unfriendly!

You Know You've Got to...

Baby Lauren

She is getting big, not really big so much as older. She still seems so tiny to me! Her big cousin absolutely adores her.

Supers!

Even though the two Stevenson boys are older than both of mine, they pair off and are two peas in two pods. Kobe and Boone in the outfits that they both happened to be wearing when they came to play on Friday night! Hilarious!
