Rob Thomas - Little Wonders

Meet the Robinsons was the Feature for our Weekly Movie Night. We all really enjoyed it. It gives a good message about family and acceptance. Check it out if you get the chance.

Happy Thansgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! Today we hung out at home in the morning, and then went over to my parents house in Blaine for the big feast! Mom, Dad, Patrick, Erica, Erik, Andrea, Myles, and Holly all hung out together and ate tons of turkey and pie! It was tasty! And we get to do it all again tomorrow! I'll take pictures and post again tomorrow.

Enjoy all that you have to be Thankful for!

Love,

Andrea

Saturday cuteness!

What a great weekend this is so far! Today we played with our kids all day, and they were very well behaved! Myles was having fun with Holly, and asked to have his picture taken with her. I ran to get the camera to take advantage of this opportunity! We got some really cute pictures.

This evening Myles is sleeping over at Grandma's and Grandpa's house - Yippee! We decided to go out to dinner (Mexican of course!) and enjoy some lovely conversation. Holly seemed to enjoy herself as she cooed and laughed the whole time!

I'm sure it will be an early evening for us as we are still trying to catch up on our sleep. Last night was a late night - we were out at my Company party until Midnight. Yikes! But hopefully we can sleep in a bit in the morning.

Holly Janel's Baptism day!

Isn't Holly so cute in her Baptism Outfit?!

This is a group photo of those attending the Baptism - Plus Jen Bey who is taking the Picture!

What an exciting weekend! Marie was in town for Holly's Baptism, and we had fun playing with her for 3 days! Myles really took to her! He was always asking her to play with him. He would drag out all his toys and make a total mess. But he had fun doing that!

Today was Holly's Baptism, and she was looking CUTE! A handful of Family and Friends were able to gather to celebrate and witness her big day - Erica, Patrick, and Marie are the Godparents. Myles did pretty well during the church service, but totally lost it for the baptism. It was a little embarrassing. Grandma had to take him out of church to calm him down. He eventually came back in right before Holly was baptized. He was very fascinated with the baptismal fount, and kept sticking his fingers in the water. Erik and I were stressed out about it! Holly was fast asleep - totally oblivious to the fact that this was her day. I got to hold her while she was baptized, and she woke up for that moment, but didn't cry. Myles wiped the water off her head. It was so wonderful to hold her during this celebration! After the ceremony, we all went back to our house for some food and fun. It was a crazy day, but one that I will remember forever. I'm a bit sad that it is over, but I know Holly's Christian journey is just beginning!

Enjoy the pictures of her wonderful day!

Love, Andrea

Halloween 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Halloween, and we had tons of fun! The kids started the day by going to Daycare in their costumes. Myles was Spiderman, and Holly was a Bumble Bee. Both looked so cute! Then in the evening Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Erica came over to help celebrate. Silvia and little Isabella came over to join us in the fun. Cory was able to come over to see his baby's first Halloween. (So yes, we can say that the Cops came to our house - Cory was in uniform and had his squad in our driveway!) We took cute pics of the kids in costume, and then hit the road! Erik and I took Myles out trick-or-treating, while Holly stayed home with the family. It was so much fun! We ended up hooking up with a bunch of neighborhood kids and parents, and went to a ton of houses. Myles had a total blast! He then came home and ate about 5 pieces of candy. It was hard to get him to bed. Anyway, we hope you enjoyed the day as much as we did!

Happy Birthday Andrea!

Happy Birthday Sweetie. You are getting old!
Love,
Erik

I haven't posted in a while, but that doesn't mean that we haven't been busy! I've been back to work now for 3 weeks, and starting to get used to it again. It has been a hard transition, but it makes me treasure my time at home even more. Over the last 2 weeks we have had family from Nebraska come visit. Erik's Aunts and Uncles (RoseLee & Bob, and Margaret & LeRoy) were in town and came over for dinner and hung out. Myles had a great time coloring with RoseLee! He still talks about it! :)

Then last weekend my sister spoke at CLC Church so we went to see her Sunday morning. Myles was so excited to see his Auntie that he ended running up to the front of the church and sitting with his Auntie and the 2 Pastors. I nearly had a heart attack! He then threw a tantrum when Erik had to carry him away from the front pew because Auntie when up to the podium to speak. Sigh. Life with a 3 year old.

In the evening the Bietz family came over to carve pumpkins (well, everyone but Patrick!) We had a home made dinner of Lasagna & Salad (okay - they both were from Costco...) and yummy cookies that Erica made. We then carved 4 pumpkins. It was so much fun! But I'm noticing that they are already looking sad and wilted. I guess we'll have to carve some more!

Okay - I'm off for now, but I'll take more pictures next week on Halloween! Take care until then!

Love, Andrea

Some more cute pictures!

Well, this was my final weekend on Maternity leave. I'm very, very sad to be done. I enjoyed my time at home with Holly soooooooo much!

Here are just a few pics of my cute kids!

Tostitos - Art Show

Andrea saw this on tv. This is something we hope never happens in our house!

Hanging out at home

Mommy Loves her little girl!

Up close and personal with this cutie!

Holly must love the color pink (or mommy does...)

Kickin back on a typical Wednesday!

Today Holly and I are just hanging out at home, and trying to get some chores done. I decided that she was so cute that I should take some pictures! She is all decked out in pink, and Mommy is loving it! :) I know there will come a day when I am tired of seeing her in pink, but that day has not yet come!
