Tahoe FUN

Matthew loves going to our condo at Lake Tahoe. He couldn't wait to play in the snow and had to show off his gear this year. He's quite the little model and just starts striking a pose when you bring out the camera.

Oh How fast they Grow!

Can't believe our little Luke is quickly approaching six months! I just think he's the cutest thing in the world and had to share these pictures from a little photo shoot.

Portland for New Years!

We decided to take a little road trip and headed to Portland over New Years. We loved the children's museum - the best one we think we've been to yet! They had a mini hospital for the kids to play in and a mini grocery store and restaurant. They even had a party and counted down the New Year at 12 Noon. Brilliant! I think next year we'll have our own kid party and celebrate the New Year at Noon, too.

Christmas 2008

What a joy it is experience Christmas through a childs eyes. We are so blessed and thank heaven for our two little boys and our wonderful family and friends. Matthew couldn't believe that Santa got him everything "I was wishing for!" and Luke loved to watch all the excitement his brother created and giggled at the crinckling of paper. We had a joyous holiday and felt so grateful for this life we live.

Christmas Eve 2008

Every year we celebrate Christmas Eve with a crab feast, family and good friends. This year the crab was wonderful. We celebrated the evening with family and great friends. Matthew and Dave had fun playing with the crabs and I went all out and baked the cover cake from Sunset - delicious!

Best Friends

Jake and Matthew are three months apart and have been best friends since they were babies! Luckily for Matthew they are only an hour and a half away by car - Jake's daddy is the team doctor for the Stanford Football Team (orthopedic surgeon). We have lots of sleep overs at each others house and these are photos from the most recent one.

Our BAD Boy!

Matthew gets so funny when I take his picture these days. I asked him if I could take a picture of his tattoo and he got all "Bad to the BONE" on me. So funny!
