Family Pictures

We wanted to have family pictures taken for the year, so I called up a friend and asked if she could do them for us.  She lives in Sumner, so we met halfway at Mt Rainier's Grove of the Patriarchs to take our pictures.  The weekend we decided to do it, we ended up having 4 additional kiddos for respite.  So we took all six kids with us.  We had to take two cars to fit everyone.  But we had a good time and the kids had fun in the woods.  The pictures turned out great. I loved them all.

Here are some of my favorites.

We needed a brief lunch break

Thank you Ange at Bendixsen Photography for all the great pictures!

This and that

Jeremy as it turns out, really loves to cuddle.  Especially when he is tired.  Jon loves that he does this, because Rex will not cuddle much with Jon.  He always wants me.

Rex loves playing with the cats.

We got the kiddie pool out again.  Boys love it.  They had so much fun playing in this together.

That is a mic-e tube in Jeremy's stomach.  He has had to be tube fed, but we haven't really had to use it.  He eats most of his food orally.

They love movie and popcorn night.

 The boys were pretending to go to bed.  They kept saying Night Night and putting the blankets on them.  It was so cute.

We took the boys to the park.  I was a little leery letting Jeremy climb on everything because he is so small, but that kid is such a climber.  He loved it.  

It was foster parent appreciation night at the Pippins on the 30th, so we got free tickets to go to the baseball game.  It included free hotdogs.  We took the kids.  They had a lot of fun and got to meet the mascot Scotty Pippin.

We celebrated Jeremy's birthday on the 31st.  He turned 3.  He is such a cutie.  He loves Thomas the train so I made him a Thomas the Train cake.  It turned out pretty good, and he loved it.

These boys got matching shirts from the game, so we used them as night shirts.  They thought it was pretty cool to have matching pjs.
