First Practice - Jake's T-ball experience!

This is a very, very excited Jake! Finally the day had come for T-ball. He must have asked me 6 times on the way there, "Mommy! Is t-ball the same as baseball?" "Yes, Jake." Then five minutes later, he'd ask again. We had to stop by the Y to get the jerseys and he was so proud to put his on.

Hobbit Village Hike

A lovely gaggle of people from Paramount Christian Church got together for a hike to a secret Hobbit Village up near Enumclaw ... so muddy, so snowy, so cold and wet ... but totally fun!

And our hero Rick helped each child over the swamp - so sweet.

Sam I Am

Matthew's book finally came! It looks great and he is SO proud. :)

And Matthew's first reading of "Green Eggs and Ham." Jacob found the story utterly hilarious.

Bored at home

Jake decided he did not want to be photographed while eating his lunch...

But he let his guard down to grab a bite and catch a glimpse of "Toy Story"...
