I FINALLY WON!!!!

Last night Peter & Hollie came over for some Settlers. It was nice to see Hollie and I think she should be around more. Why? First, because I like her. Second because I think she takes Pete's focus off of the game! I WON!!!!

Here I am enjoying my victory.Here are Peter & Hollie pre-game. Peter was feeling confident, but it just didn't work out for him :) Hollie is probably laughing because she knew Pete wouldn't win.

Jamin didn't win likely because he was focused on his tower rather than the game.
Impressive though!

The Ramsey's came over and made us supper last night. What more could you ask for?! :) We celebrated Micah's birthday again. He seemed to enjoy seeing the cake again despite it being half gone!

Happy 1st Birthday, Micah/ Happy Valentine's Day!

Today we celebrated Micah's 1st birthday. We've been enjoying having Jamin's parents here for the weekend. The Kleberts also came over for the party. Pete & Neenie weren't able to make it due to inclement weather. Ah, what a winter we're having!

Micah enjoying his cake (until his hands got too cold!) He's holding his balloon string.
He loved the helium balloon we got and didn't want to let go!

Micah's cake. YUM!

Bethany & Naomi. I love this pic of them. They are getting so big!

It was also Valentine's Day today (as you know). Here are my flowers from Jamin.

Jamin & I took advantage of the free babysitting and went in town for a bit. We went to Perk's on the waterfront and then spent some time driving around and reminiscing about the past. Fun times! I love my Jamin.

Happy Birthday, Micah!!!!!

Our baby boy is ONE today! Wow...what a fast year. We've watched Micah learn to hold his head up, smile, laugh, sit up, crawl, eat solid foods, get teeth, take steps, wave, clap, and "dance" to music. Micah has been an easy baby in a lot of respects. He's a fantastic sleeper, easy teether (he only has 4), & is content in the car. He's also very busy, he gets into everything, climbs everywhere, & doesn't like to listen yet. We love watching he & Naomi play, fight, & love each other.

Happy Birthday, Micah. We love you so much!

VIsit with the Carabins & Claire

This week we were happy to see the Carabin family and meet their newest addition, Xander. Here are some pics from their visit. It's crazy that a few years ago (three actually) the four of us would hang out and now we have 5 kids between us!

Whoops..I'm missing half of Xander's face.

There's his cute little face. Looks alot like the other two did as babies.

Danielle (looks pretty rested for having 3 kids under 3!)Rick & Brock. Brock was pretty mellow because he wasn't feeling 100%.

The Carabins brought Claire with them to visit us. She enjoyed wearing some of Naomi's dress-up heels. She wore them pretty much the whole time!

I had a couple of minutes to hold Xander. Such a cute baby!

Happy 30th Birthday, Jamin!

Today Jamin turned 30! I have known him through most of his 20's and now am excited to see what the 30's bring for Jamin. He didn't want anything special for his birthday, but I did have a small party last night for him. We were thankful for all of our friends who came to celebrate with us. We had lots of fun and enjoyed some yummy cake. My first attemp at cheesecake (the one with the fruit) was a success!

Happy Birthday, Jamin! You make 30 look GOOD! I love you!
