Watching Silas walk into a room covered with cars and trucks: Priceless.


He was mesmerized. Now he likes to run in there and yell "new room!"


Yes, he is sleeping on a pad on the floor for now... we are in the market for a good deal on bunk beds. :)

Go B!

Silas got to enjoy yelling "Go B!" a lot on Wednesday evening as we watched the Beavers crush the Ducks at a civil war baseball game at Volcanoes Stadium. He got especially excited when everyone started cheering really loudly and clapping.

Titus: 8 months

Titus hasn't gained any weight this month, probably because he is crawling and climbing everywhere!

When he's really, really tired he gets snugly:

Excited about anything that makes noise:


Being silly with daddy:

Visit with cousin Abby

We got to see cousin Abby (Matt's cousin's daughter) a couple times this month as they stopped by on their drive from Washington to California and back again. Abby and Silas are just a few weeks apart, so they have a lot of fun playing together.


Ziggy came along, too. He and Titus enjoyed checking each other out:

Mother's Day Dedication

We dedicated Titus at church on Mother's Day this weekend. He did pretty well, since he was tired and spent most of the time sucking his pacifier.

Little Explorers

There's just something about being 8 months old that makes our kids want to climb the table:

Apparently they aren't spoiled enough yet...

Thank you Grandpa Dave & Grandma Kaye!

Meeting Cameron

We took a trip to Redmond this weekend to meet our new niece (and the boys' new cousin), Cameron Faith. She was born on Tuesday, and was 5 lbs, 13 oz, and 19 inches long. These pictures really don't do her justice, but here you go:



So tiny and precious!





Titus & Cameron - can you believe they are only seven months apart?



Three days old and already a beaver fan:


We took some of the older cousins out for the afternoon. We stopped at a park on the way home--one of Silas' favorite activities.


A little afternoon treat:


All the cousins (so far--*wink at Danae*):
