Roller Coasters and Rascals

Wow, where have these two months gone?? So much has passed I suppose trying to post about all of it in picture form would be a little over whelming. We celebrated our 3rd anniversary Jan 28th, we're counting years with kids just so we don't lose track. JK!
We had a fun trip to Miss Kate's house somewhere in there.

Leroy exploring the possibilities.
Sharing sippies.


And Chocolate dipped pretzels, the best part.
(Guess what we had for lunch dessert today after seeing this picture)

Oh what fun!

All our January and one February birthday people.

Leroy admiring the candles with the delicious dinner that A. Jenn served still on his face.

A. Jenn is one of Phi's favorite people and the first name he learned to say ( "aunt Denn") aside from Leroy's.


Mid February was the weekend at Mt Baker Lodge, a fun and encouraging time.

The car riding deer

Cousin antics

For some reason these two find it great entertainment to tell each other "no" very adamantly and then laugh at each other.


Then came the fun boat trip with Chatty and The Mr.

Heading out on a beautiful morning.

Phi's reaction to the whole boating experience.

We realized later that he was probably not feeling so great either. He had a fever that was coming and going at random so it was hard to tell he was sick. Leroy got it once we got back home, temp of 104 and it wouldn't go down even on Tylenol. The doctor said to mix Tylenol and Motrin and that finally brought it down. Poor guys, though that along with a bad cold and cough shortly there after have been our only real sicknesses this winter for which we are thankful. Anyway back to the boat trip...

Phi not wanting to stay on the boat after waking up in the cabin.

Enjoying the rocks and water with Chatty at Sucia Island.

It's a whole different world looking back at the shore from out there, very cool.

February 21 st Leroy turned 1! This was his cake as "woof woof" is his favorite (and only) animal sound. He loves animals the way Phi loved trucks at this stage, and is not afraid of most dogs even though they are twice his size.

I failed to get any cake eating pictures, though he thoroughly enjoyed his cake and was heart broken when I took it away so there would still be some for the rest of us to enjoy.

His gift from Daddy and Mommy.

He also got a fun doggie that sings 8 different nursery rhyme type songs. We stuck more with the imaginative type toys with Phi and I've been amazed to notice just since Leroy's b-day where he got several of the these toys that "interact" how much Phi has suddenly started talking. He can put together complete thoughts now though there is still some guess work involved as D's and B's stand in for a lot of letter sounds. Bumpa and da Ban being Grandpa and the van, a favorite subject of Phi's. He can or will finally copy pretty much any word we say, communication is such fun.
This little man is still crawling, by choice mostly, he's our little worrier and though he's taken up to 5 steps at a time to get to his beloved U. AJ he prefers to crawl. He is getting better about walking with a hand to hold though which is great since baby #3's arrival is estimated to be about 4 weeks away! He just started waving byebye and making a singsong noise to go along with it, his version I guess. Favorite word currently is a toss up between "uh oh" and "uh un". He can stand up from the middle of the floor gets sturdier every day so I'm looking forward to when he actually decides walking is the way to go. Two of his unfavoritest foods would be cottage cheese and macaroni noodles (not served together) other wise he loves food in general.

Hey, has any one seen some sunshine lately??

We'd love to go out there and play...

At last...it's been a long winter!!

This was a gift to Phi from Bumpa and Amma back in January and he's been impatiently waiting to use it ever since.

Leroy loves the out of doors.


Hopefully soon we'll get to our month of March which has also flown by. In amongst all this Mommy's had low iron levels, which mean low or zero energy and also effect the emotions and how you deal with every thing. That's the roller coaster part and we want off soon... We are really looking forward to this little ones arrival lets just say.

It's crazy how even when your days are miserable...sickness, pregnancy yuckyness, etc., they still fly right by with little one's huh? Crazy. Looks like you've been having some fun tho too! :-) Hope your last few weeks go well!

Try using cast iron on a regular basis for your iron levels. - a grammy

I feel for you...it's not easy having no energy and having active little ones around. Hope the time goes by fast, and that your labor/delivery will be as quick and easy as possible.

Hard to believe Leroy is 1! Your little boys are getting big. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers, Sarah.
