October 2011 Fun

Puddle jumping!

The Punkin' man at the punkin' patch!

Soccer!

Julian's first year playing soccer! (At 2 1/2 years old he's already better than Dad)

Visit to Portland

Visiting 'uncle' Ben.

Requisite family photo. :-)

Shameless Plug

Maybe we can score some free clothes for posting these photos...

Night Time Routine

Guess what I'm doing!

'Brush teeth time'

Julian loves to read.

Although I look ready to go to sleep, really I plan on staying up for another hour or two.

Random Pics

Julian's first bike in his favorite color! (Lost interest after 5 minutes)

Mad Hatter

They call me 'Mr. Touchdown'...

Julian loves sports. For quite a while already he has been throwing footballs (spirals!), tossing balls on the roof to watch them roll back down and even hitting tennis balls. He is already on a soccer team and has no problem dribbing the ball in a straight line or doing a 'big kick' (his words) to put the ball in the back of the net.

Julian, repeat after me: "Scholarship"

June 2011

Flying aboard 'Daddy-air'.

Julian in his favorite 'Pider-Man t-shirt.

Chelan 2011

Family photo fun but someone didn't feel like smiling. Can you guess who?

Summer Vacation at Lake Chelan

A great weekend spent at Lake Chelan. Julian loved the pool!

Hangin' at the Beach

We finally had a day that felt like summer. So we took advantage of it and headed off for Richmond Beach at 7:30am to play.

Nika and Julian looking out to see.

"Big rock daddy!"

Hanging with Some of My Favorite People

Grandpa and Grandma and cousin Ryan!

Bike Riding!

Grandpa helping me keep the rubber side down.

Dad thinks I am ready for something a bit bigger...

Ok, maybe not quite yet.

'Round and 'Round in April

Julian's first ride on a Merry-go-round at Woodland Park Zoo. He clung on tight and halfway through the ride was saying "Don't like it!"

Of course, when it was over he didn't want to leave. Neither did mommy. :)

A Run in the Park

Julian loves to go "running". He runs in the house, he runs in the yard. He is even faster than Mommy, as you can plainly see here.

Playing in the bark is fun, too. Hey buddy, there's a slide behind you!! Nah, bark is more fun.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Cheese!

TV! Julian's favorite show, the 'Back Yardigans', which he calls 'Tyrone' after one of the characters, quickly became an obsession. Mom and Dad had to resort to telling Julian that the TV was broken. TV broken? Yup, sorry pal, TV broken.

Now no more TV, no more tantrums. (Well, a few less anyway).

Family Photo

Somehow we got a photo taken without anyone blinking!

Random Notes

Dinner with a little green frog is a recipe for a good time!

Story time with uncle Dave. (Dave, I'm not sure he's buying it.

Most always, he is still that same happy little guy we brought home from the hospital.

January 3rd, 2011. Two Years Old!

Attempting to blow out the candles. (Mostly he just blew his bangs up a bit.)

A full day of celebration calls for a little rest.

Christmas 2010

Julian getting the decorations ready.
Dad couldn't get the lights untangled, so Julian took a shot at it.

Nothing says 'Christmas' like a pair of sunglasses.

Cousin Ryan helps unwrap a gift from Grandma.

Julian loves books. Thank you 'aunt' Patti!
