The big first day... aren't they so cute!

Getting on the bus! The best part of the day besides recess!

First day of school! Luke started Kindergarten & Cole is in 2nd grade. Luke was so excited and did great riding the bus the first day... he requested it! Cole is being a great big brother & helping Luke around school when he can. Cole is enjoying 2nd grade and has his best friend in his class again.

Here is Orin...

It's been a while since I have published anything on this blog! Here is a brief update since March. Baby Orin joined us March 24th and has kept us very busy ever since! He is 4 months now and such a sweet baby. Here are pics of him from still in tummy to 4 months.

Luke's 5th Birthday!

This is my favorite picture ever of the boys together!

This picture is hilarious... the giraffe was showing his best side to us!

I am late posting Luke's birthday photos... He turned 5 on Feb. 24th. I can't believe my youngest (right now) is 5! He is such a big boy now and has changed so much over the last year. He is so excited about kindergarten next year and riding the bus with Cole! He has made lots of friends at preschool this year and a lot of them "look up to Luke" because he is one of the oldest in the class. He loves drawing and writing his name all the time. He gladly tells anyone, "I am Luke, L-U-K-E and I am 5!" He is most excited about meeting baby Orin. He is so affectionate and pats my tummy every day and says things like "Hi, baby Orin, when are you coming out?" He kisses my tummy at least 5 times a day. He is going to be such a sweet big brother.

To celebrate Luke's big day we went to the Denver Zoo. We had never been there and enjoyed our day a lot. We liked it so much we got a year long family pass so we can go back whenever we want! The boys had a great day and it was a fun way to celebrate our little guys big day. I will post some pics of Luke's birthday celebration.

Happy Birthday Lukester, we love you so much!

Jad's B-day

It's my hubbies B-day today. Thinking back from last year to this year things have changed quite a bit! We had a big year... move to CO, new jobs, pregnancy & we celebrated our 10 year anniversary. God has blessed us with an amazing year and new things to look forward to. It's hard for me to believe Jad & I have known each other 14 years now! I am so blessed to have such a wonderful husband and father to my boys. I love you with all my heart and hope you have an awesome birthday, babe!

February 2009

Here are some photos of a beautiful "wet" snow that fell recently. It stuck to all the trees and made everything so pretty. I am also posting some video of Jad and the boys sledding in Rocky Mountain Ntl Park. It is so funny watching them crash!

32 weeks

Here are some photos of me 32 weeks pregnant. I am feeling huge already...

Christmas 2008

Wow, I can't believe Christmas is gone and it's the middle of January already! We had a fun time with family this Christmas. We didn't get to see everyone as long as we would have liked because we all got sick the week before Christmas. We did get to go to Colorado Springs and spend Christmas Eve & Christmas day with everyone though. Mom & Dad and Sarah & Nate and the kids came up from Dallas to be with us. It was fun having all the cousins together at Christmas! Here are some photos of Cole & Luke with their cousins. We also got to have Nanna & Poppa come stay with us the week of New Year's. We enjoyed taking a trip into Estes Park and RMNP for some sledding and playing in the snow.
