Paul's Very First Snow Adventure!!!!

A Winter Wonderland!

Once we were SAFE at home, we saw a wonderful winter wonderland in our yard. This is the most snow that we have seen since we have lived here.

And probably the most they have seen in 10 years. It's beautiful.

A Scary Scene!!!

As we were aproaching the Boardman area, we witnessed a car slide off the road and roll a couple of times. We immediately pulled the car over and Sam jumped out and ran to help.

Paul and I stayed in the car and prayed!
If you can pick out the Orange coat in the pictures, thats him. Thank The Lord that the couple who were in the accident were just fine, just a couple of bumps and scratches.
Sam's UPS skills really came in to play that day, they needed to unload the entire car that was full of boxes in order to get the couple out safely. Sam was able to get that done fairly quickly, I was very proud of him.

Winter Driving

On our way home from Portland, we had a very adventurous drive.

This is what we saw for the bulk of the trip

Childhood Memories!

While at Sam's parents house this weekend Sam went through quite a bit of old toys and memories from his childhood, and Paul wanted in on the action.
Which one is the real baby??????
Paul got a bit overwhelmed!
He decided to play with his own toys instead and is much happier. :)

Paul Being Cute As Always:)

Paul and Grandma Hire, Cheek to Cheek!
He is concentrating really hard on the buttons that make music.
Doesn't he look like he should be in the baby version of "Grease"?

I Think Paul Hates Peas!?!?

We gave Paul peas for the first time tonight and it didn't go over well, I can't blame him, they are pretty awful, here is a video of his first experience.

Look who's sitting up all on his own!!

Fun Pictures of Paul

Here is Paul reading the Bible with Daddy.

Gotta start them young ya know!

Here he is with his new friends Peter and Lisa.
He looks worried, but I assure you he was having fun. :)

SIX MONTHS OLD TODAY!!!!

More Fun Christmas Pics

Ponies?

The babies each got a really cool rocking horse this year that makes sound effects and everything.
They are both still a litte young for them, but I know they will love them as they grow.

Christmas Day Fun

Grandma, Grandpa, Paul and Madeleine in their Christmas Red
You can't have Christmas without Kerub attacking you for your wrapping paper.
Madeleine loved these little people so much we couldn't get her to stop crawling all over the box.
Unfortunatley this year Paul isn't old enough to really get into the gift opening, so he slept through it, but here he is just after he woke up and had his own "Christmas Feast".

Christmas Eve Happenings

It looks like just a picture of a fire truck, but if you look real close, you can see Santa in the passanger seat. They went through town with the siren on for several hours on Christmas Eve Day.
Seth and Sam concentrating on a rough game of Scrabble while keeping an eye on the babies.
Kathy and Jennifer slaving away in the kitchen. :)
A picture of the tree full of loot once Grandma and Grandpa got there with their gifts for the babies!!!

Along for the ride

The Vore family came to Umatilla for Christmas this year, so Paul and his cousin Madeleine had some great playing time. She already loves "pushing him around". :)
