Paul being all cute with the happy couple. He totally LOVES his Uncle Sean!!
I just think this picture is adorable.

Paul was a little late getting dressed for picture time so we had to tag team the job in the cold morning wind outside.

Rehearsal Dinner

On March 28th, Sean Vore and Wallis Williams got married in Dayton Ohio and we were fortunate enough to be a part of their great weekend. Here is a little peek from our point of view. Just some random pictures of family and friends enjoying Montgomery Grill BBQ at the rehearsal dinner.

Poor Baby Ruger

We woke up one night last month to the whining sound of our puppy Ruger. He had been really good at sleeping through so we got worried and checked on him and this is what we found!

We're still not sure exactly what happened, but we think he had gotten into something in the yard that he was alergic to. It was so sad to see him all puffy and swollen. He had little puffy spots all over him. I tried to wipe his eyes with a cool cloth to help sooth, but didn't seem to help him much. Finally after comforting him and putting him back to bed (fully expecting a visit to the vet the next day), he slept well the rest of the night and woke again the next morning as if nothing had happened. Completely back to normal. Very strange!!!!

Happy Anniversary to US!!!!!

We celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary on March 19th. I can't belive that we have been married for 4 years, wow. Originally we had nothing big planned, but then got a wild hair and decided it would be fun to be silly kids and go to Chuck-E-Cheese to celebrate! We found a babysitter willing to hang with Paul for the night and off we went.

We had alot of fun being silly and playing games. We spent way more money than we probably should have though (Chuck-E-Cheese will do that to ya). Check out all those tickets on that table that we get to turn in for fabulous prizes!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now check out the "fabulous" prizes all those tickets actually got us. Not much of a return on our money I have to say, but we had a very fun anniversary!

Paul's First Formal!

At the end of March Paul was the ring bearer in his Uncle Sean's wedding (Those Pic's coming soon), here he his trying on his first formal suit and getting it pinned up for altering. He looks so cute, even though he hates it and his hair hadn't been cut yet. :)

Lots more to catch up on.

When the weather started getting nice we automatically headed outside for some much needed air and sunshine. The whole family has so much fun just playing in our own back yard, especially our "not so little" dog Ruger!

Paul has learned how to climb up the stairs of this "tall" slide and get himself seated, all on his own. I am so proud of him for working hard until he could do it without help, now it's one of his favorite things to do and he always claps enthusiastically when he gets to the bottom successfully!


Time in the yard always requires a little yard work. Paul is getting in on the action with his own rake. I LOVE this picture!!!!!!

A Few Randomly Cute Pictures

As we were waiting for a pair of wet pants to dry, Paul insisted that I put on one of his shoes...but only one. Then he stomped around the house lopsided until his pants were ready to put back on. It was adorable to watch.
Our little mad scientist!!

Ruger LOVES the tunnel, and after running through it about a million times, he wore himself out and decided it would make a great resting place as well.

More OMSI fun.

OMSI

Early this month we went to PDX to visit Sam's family and we took the kids to $2 first Sunday at OMSI. They have an awesome kids area and Paul was in his own personal heaven. He had sooooo much fun, it was like we didn't even exhist. His favorite diplays were this water one and the ball pit.

A boy and his dog!

As you can see there are two seats, but it just never occured to them that they could each have one.

Paul's latest fascination!!!

As you can see we have one of those laundry carts that has 3 bags in it for sorting, it's very handy. Until.....when I roll it out to actually DO the laundry it becomes instantly fascinating to Paul. It thrills him to no end to put anything he can find in the bag. If you look close you can see his sippy cup, some Tupperware, a couple of maracas, one of daddy's flip flop shoes, and in the bottom the entire alphabet of magnetic refrigerator letters. When I finally got around to cleaning it out, it filled an entire laundry basket. His fascination has gotten so out of hand that we have had to hide the cart in our room so it is out of temptations reach.

Belated Celebration

Because of weather, we had to wait for more than a month before exchanging gifts with the Hire family, but we finally did and here a few highlights. We didn't do a very good job of breaking out the camera so...sorry they aren't better.

Grandma and Grandpa Hire got a new puppy about a month before we brought Ruger home, so they hit it off and did everything the other one did the whole time we were there...very cute.

Our New Ruger

So...we weren't going to get another dog until the new baby came. But we always had this certain saying "if the right dog comes along." So...yeah...This is the right dog. He's 8 weeks old. Half lab, half springer, just like Kerub was. Sam wanted a new Ruger revolver this year, and this is as close as we can get for now. Meet Ruger!!!

Paul and Ruger going on a stick hunt!

Every boy needs a dog right? Paul and Ruger make a good team.

Fun Christmas Pic's

A tradition we began last year and will continue forever, Jesus is the reason for Christmas and deserves a realy Birthday celebration, Cake and all. It doesn't have to be pretty, it just has to be sincere.
Paul with his new Elephant, he loves it. Thank you Grandma V.

Loves the Pound a Peg. (doesn't he have the most beautiful eyes?)

Paul wasn't much into the opening, just the playing....Maybe next year. :)

This is the best we could do without an actual photographer.
