Easter!





We had just as much fun eating the eggs as decorating them. Easter brunch at GG's house--always fun to dress up a bit and get together.

Random pictures



Tavis the "brachiosaurus" is eating his lunch. (raw broccoli)

If this picture looks familiar, you're a long-time viewer of this blog. Check out "Cutest Picture Ever" in 2006...we have a contender.

Christmas 2008


The visit to Santa Claus went pretty well this year. Ben and I were a little embarrassed when Tavis asked for a "parrot with poop on its head". Santa chuckled and was not the least bit bothered.




A few days after Christmas we enjoyed a visit from the Bellingham side of the family. Christmas lasted all week and poor Tavis still thinks we should be celebrating!



Looks like Tavis and Maclain enjoyed the gifts that Santa had left for Christmas morning.



This year we spent a wonderful Christmas Evening at GG Mason's house. The boys played Santa's elves and were even visited by the big Man himself.

For Becca:

This post is dedicated to Auntie Becca who routinely looks at the blog every day at lunch. We're sorry we are such lame-os and haven't updated in a while. Hopefully we can catch you up with a few autumn photos.


Another Day At The Aquarium

Tavis feels right at home here, we visit at least once a month.
Chasing pigeons on the pier.
Getting strangled by an octopus. Tavis encouraged other kids to try it too.


Halloween:

We visited GG, saw Grandma, Grandpa, Mick & Sue; then went to Paul and Randi's for a bit. Later we did some trick-or-treating on our street. Tavis had a great time going up to the doors and Maclain stayed remarkably awake in the stroller.
A friend made this t-shirt for Mac, just in time for Halloween.

Grandma dressed up as a lion and fooled the boys (for a minute)! Tavis was a monster and Maclain was a spider.

Pumpkin patch:


Tavis and Alexis, still hugging each other. Good friends!

Time for School!

Proud Parents: Karie & Ben



Tavis has started his second year in co-op preschool. He goes to school 3 days a week/2hrs each day. Karie works in the classroom on Wed's while Grandma comes over to take care of Maclain. On the other days, Mac goes along to drop Tavis up and pick him up. Here they are both dressed and ready for school.


Maclain is 5 months old as of Sept 29th. He has been showing off this "crawling" position for about a month. He rocks back and forth and looks like he's about to take off! I tried the bib to catch the drool but decided that it looks kind of silly when he doesn't even eat yet. Guess I'll just go back to changing his shirt every few hours...


This is a bit of a somber moment. They are both lying on the floor and waiting for me to take the picture.


Tav is wearing all my fave clothes on our way up to Bellingham. He's listening to the iPod read to him: Finding Nemo, Monsters, Inc, and A Bug's Life. Great alternative from the actual movies since we don't have a dvd player in the car.
