Lego ship this was birthday present that finally got completed. It was fun and lasted about a week put together. it can be so depressing to see something that took hours to get together come apart so quickly and knowing that it will never be put back together but Elijah had fun with it so i guess that is what it was about since it was what he bought with his birthday money..

Dentist visit!!

speaking of teeth Elijah and Liam went to the dentist the other day and they both did so GOOD i was suprised since liam doesnt like to bruch his teeth i thought he may bite the dental tech but he really came through and was an angel! I even got cute little xrays to scrapbook so this dental visit will have all kinds of memories it was a few days before elijah lost his tooth so you can actually see his tooth close to falling out. lots of FUN!!

tooth fairy

ME as the tooth fairy!! i put glitter on his bed and around the box we made so the tooth fairy could get to the tooth easily


I have to say this tooth fairy stuff is fun ..Elijah is buying it hook line and sinker!! so sweet!! we are onto the second tooth and he still believes he was thinking that she must become dust to get into the house. so creative!

THELMA KNIEP
Kristopher's grandmother went to be with Jesus a few weeks back. we we were able to attend the funeral and spend some time at her farm before we went on the our time planned with my family in oregon and all the graduations.

grandma kniep was a wonderful woman. she loved me just like a grandchild right from the get go.I always felt welcomed when we visited and when she hugged me it was like my grandmas hugs. i hope my grandparents who are also in heaven can say hi in heaven.
this window you see it at the kitchen table she would sit at every day especially in the morning with her coffee. I can see her sitting there...

our grand adventure to the coast

we had a blast at nana's house one our way through sisters oregon we stopped and shopped well Elijah found this fun balloon set you pump them up and then they squeal the air out. it took up lots of time and energy because the balloons would fly around everywhere and the boys would chase after them. so fun Elijah tried to blow them up on his own (he couldnt wait his turn) let say that it took many turns to blow them up i think that they are special balloons. we also went camping on the coast. winchester bay oregon we had all kinds of fun exploring the guys enjoyed the putting green that was at the rv park. we went to a wonderful garden with a very special cove at the bottom of a path the boys were excited about it and so were we -until liam fell in and got soaked - so then we had to get moving because it was in the 50s at the coast and the oregon coast water is not warm...

aubrey graduated

so aunt aubrey graduated from Eugene Bible college we are all proud of her and hope we will see more of her but we have our doubts...

spokane river bike ride
