My (our) Reading Corner

It's ridiculous, I know.

Spring

It's spring finally and the flowers are out! Even my tulips.

Charlie enjoying one of our rare clear days.

Charlie went to a doggy daycare this weekend while Brett and I went to Sisters to see and Em and Nyle and the kids. Brett picked him up while I was at work on Monday, and Charlie searched the whole house for me. I love it that he loves me so much.

One of the twins trying to squeeze his big ol foot into my shoes. They are getting so big! This was right after he was dancing around the house with a jock strap on over his shorts. I ran for my camera, but by the time I got it out it was too late.

Another thing we did this weekend was buzz Brett's head. It's part of his total body makeover. He's up to a loss of 35 pounds with one week left in the competition. He's hot, I know y'all are jealous. :)

Cinco De Mayo

3rd Annual Cinco de Mayo Party.

Even though attendance was pretty slim, we still had a great time.

Pinata. We were successful this year in not breaking anything during the pinata bashing.

However, the pinata selection was very slim, and we felt badly about beating a little boy in his backpack. The kids in attendance had no such qualms. They couldn't wait to "knock his head off"

Adam's famoso tortilla toss.

Charlie got a few tortillas during Ashley's turn

The tortilla tossing champion. Brett won the first round, but lost to Adam in the playoffs.

6 Years

For our anniversary we went to Seattle for the weekend. We had a blast walking through town and seeing the sights.

Pike Street Market

The flowers at the market were sooo beautiful!

Brett got a kick out of these protesters and wanted to join them.

This was the craziest building I've ever seen. We saw it and wanted to take a picture for my brother in law Jaxon so he could tell us how they did it. Cori... pass it on.

We are not coffee drinkers, but Brett still thought it was cool to see the very first Starbucks.

Oh Baby

We had a baby shower at my house for Lexie a couple weeks ago. It wasn't your average baby shower. We had a bottle drinking contest, cupcakes with nipples, and it ended in a slumber party! I haven't had a sleep over since high school. It was fun to feel like a teenager again. (Besides the two pregnant bellies that stayed the night.) :) We ended up only getting about 4 hours of sleep before we had to get up to help hide eggs for our ward Easter party. Ouch.

The bottle drinking champ

The almost champ :)

Adoption

We started another adoption site. Check it out. Any constructive criticism is welcome! Help us make it better!

Charlie Loves Baby Showers

He especially loves it when I don't have a chance to clean up all the way before I have to leave, and I leave a platter full of cupcakes for him to enjoy.
