Hillcrest Christmas Program:  Our boys got to perform their musical program at the North Bend High School Gym and were so excited to dress up in their handsome clothes! 

 Papa & B made them feel pretty special about performing at the high school.  It was so much fun to watch all the 1st graders sing.

7th Bday: Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Vetter for our OSU coin money banks. 

Mom and Dad have no more spare change and our savings accounts are growing!

                                  

7th Bday Bowling Party:  We celebrated Garrett & Austin's birthday early this year, having their friends party on December 1.  It was so nice to be able to just do a small birthday celebration with family on their actual birthday (Dec. 11) and to not feel quite as rushed this year.

                                

Soccer: Garrett (#14) and Austin (#15) played soccer for the 1st time this Fall.  The season began with a bunch of kids huddled around fighting with their own teammates over the ball.   Within a few weeks, they figured out how to pass to their teammates and play as a team.  It was so much fun to watch them.   Austin & Garrett both scored goals for their team and Garrett told us "soccer is my new favorite sport."

Pledge of Allegiance: Austin and Garrett came home from the second week of 1st grade so very proud of themselves for learning the recite the Pledge of Allegiance.

Trampoline Water Park:  Our trampoline from Santa Claus has been a hit!  Our kids and their cousins/friends love it all year long, especially in the summer when they can add water!

Valentine's Day 2009

Austin & Garrett were SO excited to show me my surprises... 3 roses from my 3 boys, cards they colored & a quickly diminishing pile of Hershey's kisses!

My little loves were so excited to go out to breakfast with Papa & B, who treated us to Valentine's brunch at the Mill Casino. Our boys loved playing in the water fountain & riding the elevator as we waited for our table. A&G even sat still, but it might of helped that Grandma B let them mix about 20 packets of sugar into their waters
