Oregon

Titus has something in his eye, but I believe the phrase was, "Leah, take the picture."

Check out Darius too in this pic, if you can get your eyes off Titus's "muscles".



Lukas was so excited to have a swimsuit on.




Shower Gifts

As someone said "is it blogging or bragging?" Well, I am trying to use what I learned at our Mom's group last month for a little extra special love put into a shower gift. A friend's blog has inspired me to be a little more domestic to say the least.

The Park

Try "I Spy" or "Where's Waldo?" All I have to say is with Lukas at my side it is still stressful keeping an eye on 4 at the same time. What a fun park 5 minutes away though.

Dentist trip!

After over 3 hours . . . we had 2 teeth pulled, all were cleaned, flouride treatments, several sealants, I even heard the words from Titus, "be brave, Darius." There was lots of gagging, a few tears, and several tokens for bravery. They should have token machines for the moms too. Thank goodness for Grandma who kept the younger two.

Titus

My little chef (yes, I am letting him use a knife). He worked diligently and absolutely impressed me.

So, he is always impressing me.


Special time with mommy

I was trying to teach him to love Starbucks. You just keep trying till they love it.

See, he loves it. Now I have an excuse to go. "Doug, the boys just needed a Starbucks." Do you all see how that works?

Uncle's birthday lunch. I think the balloon was for Uncle.

King for a week. All the hugs, snuggles, food, and attention. I did get to go to Indy to see my family, although I didn't get any pictures except of Lukas. I forgot the camera charger . . . I really thought I hadn't forgotten anything that morning we left (not that I was excited to leave or anyting?!?) Doug spoiled me and let me have a week of vacation. Amazing timing as well, the boys all the got the flu the day I left. We owe an official "thank you" to Grandma and Aunt Carol. . . you are amazing. And to Aunt Sandra, "sorry." And to Doug, "I love you dearly and thank you for spoiling me. I am ready to go again." And to Greta, "It was amazing to see Caleb. I love you."




Boy cousins

We definately didn't get enough pictures . . . but Lukas seemed so photo happy whenever the camera came out.
This was some cousin bonding time --ya know, his back to Caleb. Their first time out together for Mexican. They were thrilled.

Monkey see, monkey do.


Wow, real fun and so fun to have a pal willing to do all the work. "Thanks, Drake!"




Rubber ducky

I couldn't help but laugh. There will be benefits and there will be trials being boy #5. He sure didn't seem to mind. He got lots of attention and everyone seemed so happy and giggly.

Fresh air.




A little too skinny after being sick.


A little fresh air

This was a little fresh air BEFORE DOUG GOT SICK!!!
This is Zayin running up the hill. I am telling myself that he wasn't embarassed to be with us, but ya gotta wonder . . .everyone else stayed close by.









Ocean Shores

A family day at the beach. This was the first day of a long haul with the Leamans not feeling well. We flew our kites, played in the ocean water, jumped off the dunes with Zayin sleeping.



More Ocean Shores

Downtown Tacoma

"Too bright"

We always forget how many fun little outings are so close. Downtown tacoma is so fun for a nice walk and sword fighting by the glass museum. Yes, sword fighting by the GLASS MUSEUM.









Sollie reading

Sollie is really into books lately.

We found a few more pics from the March for Life. This one of Lukas with the sign is the best!
