Maren's Party

Maren's party with her friends from school was at Inflatable Kingdom this year. I had never been there and I was really impressed! The kids had a great time.

Maren's Birthday

Maren had a great day today. Along with getting all the attention and getting spoiled from both grandparents (I think this is the first time she has had all four of them together for her birthday!!) she got to find out that she was having a little sister. We told everyone by giving Maren a present with a size 6 shirt and 0-3mos. dress in the same print....Everyone was a little confused at first but finally realized that one was for her sister and not her doll;) Maren is going to be such an amazing big sister to this little girl. Luke will be a good big brother too, although at this point he didn't really care what "it" was (boy or girl) he was just confused that he couldn't call it Eddie anymore...:{

It's A Girl!!!

With both sets of grandparents coming in to town for Maren's Birthday we REALLY wanted to be able to find out early what we were having so we could share the news in person. On Thursday afternoon I called and got an appointment for the next day! We were THRILLED to find out we were having a girl. I think we would have been just as excited if she were to have been a boy, but just knowing was truly amazing!

The place we went to was really great. We went into a huge room with a screen covering half of the wall. We got 15 minutes to watch her move, wiggle around and show us her "stuff". We didn't pay for the $300 4-D session, good ole 2-D was good enough for what we wanted to know so the picture is a little fuzzy...But the three lines are there!

Valentine's Day

Maren and I had fun this year putting together her valentine's for her class! They turned out pretty cute too!

Weekend Fun

This past weekend we took the kids to the "airplane museum" in McMinnville. It was pretty cool to see all the historical airplanes. Luke loved the helicopter, Maren was pretty excited about the new water slides that are being built, Brian loved it ALL (who knew he was so into aircraft!!) and my favorite part was the stop at DQ on the way down there;)

Beach Weekend

We managed to get a beautiful weekend at the beach in JANUARY! We stayed in Rockaway Beach which we really liked. It was nice and quiet without major crowds and it had miles of sandy beach to play on!
