New Pictures!
Anyways, this one below is Alex decorating Halloween cookies! Her facial expressions are hilarious, I wasn't there when this was taken so when I saw it, I had to put it up.
Alex and I getting her pumpkin. We had to convice her to go with a smaller one, she kept trying to grab the biggest pumpkin she could find. We did get a big one, but we wanted her to get one she could carry out herself. She had a blast out there, riding on the tractor out to the patch and then we just walked back.
Zoo lights! I absolutley love this family picture. We went to the Portland Zoo for the Zoo lights. It was the first time I had done it as well. She really like the train and they had a guy dressed up as a tiger, she had to go give him a high five and knuckles, she even offered to share her bar with him. She seemed very concerned that he needed to get something to eat for dinner.

Holy Cow a Year!!
- Alex is 2
- Baby #2 is due in August
- Baby #2 is a BOY!!!!
- Alicia's Gymnastics team followed up last years state championship with a 2nd place showing!
- I am back working, not what I want to do, but in this economy anything will do.
So yeah Alex is 2. She is running around everywhere being a silly little girl. She brings so much joy to us and makes us laugh all the time with all that she does and says. It is amazing how much energy they have. Right now she is just running back and forth in the living room, saying, "Daddy, look, running....oooops fell down!" She is hilarious! She loves her sunglasses and tu-tu's! She has to wear a tu-tu almost everyday, and she loves the color PINK! She is great with her colors and shapes, numbers she is good at too, she just forgets the number 1 and 2, but she really has 3,4,5 down!
We found out we had baby #2 coming in December and we just found out 2 weeks ago that it is going to be a BOY!! I am very excited, so is Alicia, she gets to go shopping for new baby clothes! We haven't come up with a name yet, so that is gonna be fun. Baby BOY will be joining our family in August, I am curious as to how Alex is going to be. We keep talking to her about Baby Brother, she likes to give him (Alicia's stomach) knuckles.
I would've posted pictures but Alicia has the camera at work with her, so I will post some, and it won't be a year until I do!

Growing and Learning so Fast!
Things are going well with us. Alicia is working a ton while we are trying to get our business up off the ground and running. We are not going to give up on it, because we know the potential of the business and what it will mean to the families we help educate.
Alex is so smart. She has been making the sounds of an elephant (her favorite, or easiest, not sure), a cat and a chicken. When we saw it is either nap time or bed time, she will grab her stuffed giraffe "George" and lead us by the hand to her room and to the rocking chair for her bed time story. She loves to her Alicia sing her "Itsy Bitsy Spider." She is trying to do the hand motions for it, it is very cute. Still having some problems with sleeping, but that is probably just her age (we hope).
There is so much to report on but not sure where to start, so I am making it one of my goals to update this at least once a week that way we can keep on top of it more! Hope everyone is doingwell!

- We didn't get an elk this year, the snow came too late
- We have a new President of the USA, didn't vote for him, but will support him
- I was laid off due to lack of work at DesignNW
- I opened my own business, Green Drafting & Design
- Started my own business with Primerica Financial Services
- There was Christmas and New Years and the snow storm
- Alicia started coaching Gymnastics again this year and judging
- I started reffing wrestling
- Alex started crawling and is so so close to walking now
- Alex has four teeth, two bottom and two top, but not the middle two on top, however they are coming in now, thankfully, our lil miss vampire won't be that way for long.
Needless to say its been an eventful last few months! Now for some pictures of Alex.

Early Elk Hunt 08
Well we didn't see anything at all, besides two bald eagles and four deer, oh and some squirrels. However, we will be going back up around Thanksgiving when the snow comes and pushes the elk down off Mt. Adams.
Since we didn't see anything, so I turned to taking pictures of the area without the snow around. Here are some of those pictures, I'll put some of the pictures from the hunt in November up after we go, hopefully it'll show some elk this time.
Shay decided to reserve our spot for November, he does realize a few feet of snow will be there, but hopefully we'll find it when we clean off the snow for the tent.
