Fun Run

Today the boys school had a Fun Run fundraiser. Rachel and I went down to watch the boys classes run. It is amazing how much energy that kids have!
Here are a few pictures.

Grandma and Grandpa Visit

We were so lucky to have Grandma and Grandpa Wallace come for a visit this last week. The kids (and Bob and I too) were really sad to see them go.

While they were here we were able to celebrate Valentines with them, do some work in the yard, go miniature golfing, and to Organ Stop Pizza.

The boys are already asking when summer vacation will be her so we can go to California to see them and all the rest of the family again.

Here are a few pictures of our fun.

Valentines Dinner

15 months

The burise on her check is from her trying to help buckle herself into the carseat and caught her cheek in the buckle!

It's hard to believe that Rachel is already 15 months old. She did great at her last check-up. Her ears looked good and now her cough is finally gone too. So we are now off antibiotics, and the nose spray she was on. Hopefully she will continue to be well.
She recently got 2 molars and has 2 more fighting to come in. She still loves to carry her purse around, play outside, and says 'hi" to everyone we see.

Here are her Stats from her visit.

Weight: 21 lbs 3oz (25%)

Height: 32.25 inches (100%) almost off the charts

Head:18.25 inches

Helper

Rachel is really big into"helping" right now. This is how she helps do the dishes!! It is either this or clean up another mess she has made while I do the dishes alone!

Outside

This little girl LOVES it outside! I can't keep her in. If she hears a door open, or the doorbell ring she is off and running on the slight chance she can get out.
But what do girls play with outside?
Yesterday she pushed a truck, played with the t-ball stand, and played in a puddle of water.She had no interest in the jungle animals or bowling pins.
Later she got Ethan to give her a ride in the wagon.
I have started to look for thing for her to play with outside, but am not sure what to get a little girl.

Birthday Fun

Brandon had a really nice birthday. On his actual birthday we went to dinner at Pei Wei as a family. It was really yummy. He wanted sushi, but the other kids aren't sushi fans so we compromised. After we came home for presents and homemade Oreo cookies!!

Then on Saturday Bob took him, 2 friends and Zachary to play laser tag. Ethan decided to stay home. After the came back here for pizza, presents, video games and cake.

He had a great time, and loved all of the gifts he got. He got lots of books, 2 video games, a basketball, baseball glove, shirt, I-Tunes gift card, game, and of course CASH!!

Here are a few pictures.

Rachel was really interested in his presents
