Crazy Kids...!!!

Last summer, Nanny Edna, Doreen, Grandpa Fred & Sue bought us a cool trampoline! We had great fun on it last year; getting to know how to bounce properly. Now that the sun has returned (briefly), we are practicing some new skills. I think this one is called the Neck-Breaker or maybe the Concussion-Roll. We can't wait 'til Daddy says it is OK to try a triple lutz followed by a fosbury flop...

HALLCROFT LANE REUNION!! (aka Diana's Baby Shower..)

Saturday morning was very busy, as we were getting ready for Diana's baby shower....It was held at Lori's (her very nice neighbor who also toilet papers with us) Samantha was in her element, as this was her first official grown up function...:o). Tim & the boys dropped off Steph & Samantha and had to bail, as this was a GIRL'S ONLY party.....You might be wondering why I called this post HALLCROFT LANE REUNION?? Well, let me tell you! In attendance at the party were Melissa Sykes & Melissa Hansen (our previous next door neighbors of our childhood home in Huntington Beach), as well as Diana, Debbie, mom & myself. The food was fabulous - we had chicken salad croissant sandwiches, pesto pasta salad, chocolate fondue with strawberries & bananas & sparkling cider. Deb read a funny story about becoming ready to welcome a baby (I loved the line about spoon-feeding a watermelon swinging from a string, or something like that). Samantha was big-time, as she was THE girl who handed Diana the presents. Diana got lots of neat gifts and lets just say that she won't be running out of bibs anytime soon!! lol.... A fabulous time was had by all.........

Nathan is starting to walk!!!

Since the start of April, Nathan has slowly built up his confidence putting one foot in front of the other. His first tentative step has now become 26 bold strides. Leaving the last remnants behind of being an infant, he has now entered the dark world known as Toddlerhood. We have lots of fun ahead of us...heh heh heh.

Fun at the Embassy Suite's Pool!

Being that the Godoy's are in town for Diana's baby shower, we took the fam over to visit them at the Embassy Suite's Hotel in Portland. When we got there, Deb was holed up in the room with Dane, and Ramon and Zach were headed to the pool. The kids were super excited to see their cousin & had a blast swimming in the pool. It was also their first time in a jacuzzi, which they loved, but made it hard to go back into the pool, which was now a lot colder....! After a while, we went back up to the room where we just chilled out for a little bit.
