Day at the Park

After weeks and weeks of rain we had a day where the sun came out and it was nice and warm so we headed for our favorite park and spent the afternoon enjoying the sun on our faces!

My brother Joshua was visiting for a couple weeks and it was fun having him around.

They were going to be putting fresh bark down on the playground and there was a big pile of the stuff. Noah spent a lot of time digging in it!

Noah loves playing on the drift wood on the beach and found a little fort someone had made. He thought this was the coolest thing!

Joshua playing with Daniel on the swing. Daniel was kicking him every time he swung forward. Daniel was giggling so hard!

The swings are always a favorite with the kids!

Noah's Tricks

Noah learned about April Fools day this year. He and Mana planned a few little tricks and he has run wild with it. All day on April fools day I kept finding bubble wrap (supplied by my dear mother, thank you mom) on the toilet seat, in the shower, under rugs and in the doors. He gets the biggest kick out of hearing it pop and then our reactions. He LOVES to get us! Tonight I came out into the dark living room after everyone was asleep and found this on the living room floor! I almost yelled at it to go to bed, thinking it was Noah! I could hear his giggles from his room when he heard me. I just love my little Noah and his sense of humor!

Aquarium

We took the kids to the Seattle Aquarium a couple weeks ago and we all had a great time. It didn't rain on us to much which was great! The kids standing near a fountain while we waited in a very long line to get into the aquarium.

Daniel loved watching the playful sea otters!

The kids got to touch all kinds of things and even got to feed some sea anemones some seaweed.

It was a fun day and we are all so glad we got to spend the day together as a family doing something different!

Emma gets a hair cut!

Emma has been begging me to let her get a hair cut for weeks now. I finally caved in and said okay.
So this is her hair before. It was braided the day before so it's all wavy, I love it!

She was so excited!

This is after the hair cut. I miss the long hair already, but she Loves this new hair cut!!!

I can tell you that I DON'T miss the tangles! She has is such a little girl! Today she keeps saying things like "Mom, did you know I got a hair cut?" (repeated 4 or 5 times an hour), "mom, I wonder if anyone will know me at school" and "I want to show my friends my new hair cut"!

Vernon and Jessica's Wedding

On February 24th my sister Jessica called us up and said "Vernon and I are getting married...on March 7th". That's right less then 2 weeks notice! That's okay though, cause our family has a history of short engagements...I think hers takes 1st place for short notice! :)

Jessica waiting at the courthouse for the judge to marry them.

Emily, Darien and Cale waiting to the wedding to begin. They were very excited!

The Littlewolf family

All the kids were eating the frosting off flowers. It was a fun crazy day, but well worth all the craziness! Now we are just waiting for baby Alex to join the family!

Bald Eagle

One morning we looked out our window and saw this bald eagle in the field. He stayed there digging in the grass for a good half hour and was even joined by a female eagle! The kids loved watching them.

Snow!!

We got quite a bit of snow in February! My mom got even more snow so we spent a day up at her place.

The kids built snow men while I shoveled the driveway so we could get the cars in and out. Sadly the day wasn't all fun. My mom broke her ankle while looking for the snow man's arms.

The kids were in heaven in the snow!

There were many snowball thrown that morning!
