Our Hometown Hero!

Our good friend Brian just got back from doing a tour of duty in Iraq (or someplace close to there). We are so happy he is home safe. When he left his son (David) was only a little over a month old and now he's 7 mos old; I couldn't imagine being away for that long from Zane, but someone's got to do that dirty job over there. His wife Renee through a surprise party for him today; it was great to see him (oh and to get all of the kiddos together)! Welcome home Brian!

Miles (5 weeks); David (7 mos); Zane (10 mos)


Zane, David and Rogan playing outside! There must've been something interesting on the ground that they were all looking at!


The Alexander's with the Serna's (Brian, Renee & David)!

Zane just being cute...

I love playing my drum!



Can't we go outside too?


Yeehaw!

Go Seahawks!

So the game sucked...oh well, we still had fun in our Seahawks gear!

BBQ

Last night we went over to our friend's Lisa & Daniel's new house for a BBQ. They don't have all of their furniture yet so Zane just has a blast crawling all over their house. I think the open space is a wonderful thing for that boy...too bad we lack that at our house! Oh well, until they get their furniture in place we'll take advantage of the wide openness!

T-Ball

Zane and I went and watched Zane's little friend Tate's T-ball game yesterday. The weather turned out great for the game! Afterwards, we went to lunch. It was a fun time.

Double the kids = Triple the work!!

Ok, so not really, but two kids is for sure more difficult as one as all of you mom's of 2 or more can attest to!

I had one of my best friend's 17 mo old daughter all weekend as well as Zane of course! Brooklyn is a really good baby, so it really wasn't that much more difficult...as long as we stayed at home anyway! Going out was a lot more work; two car-seats; a double stroller; a cart that can fit two etc. It was a fun weekend and totally worth it, but I think I'll wait awhile longer before trying for #2 :)

Random pictures of the mischief man!

Getting into mischief; of course that's where I keep the cheese grater and other sharp objects...at a child's level...perfect.


Good, now my cheese grater is safe!!


Oh, his shirt does not lie!


Not enjoying his first long-board ride so much!


Trying to grab his 1st beer! I caught him, don't worry!


Not sure here what his deal, but I am thinking he likes the feel of the vibration (the dishwasher was on); he kept "kissing" it or putting his cheeks up against it...too cute not to take a picture.
