Life Changes

I'm sure that many have heard of our upcoming relocation to Singapore. I'm not going to write much about it here but if you have questions or concerns please call us. If you Google Singapore and click on the Wikipedia link you can find out quite a bit about the country.

We are staying busy...we head to Colorado this week to spend time with my Dad and Mom and Rachel. I'm sure I'll have pictures to post of that trip:) We LOVE going out there and the mountains. We'll come back next week to company, the twins starting Kindergarten, and Lord Willing, baptisms. It's hard to believe the twins are that old already - where does the time go?

As you can see from the picture, Ethan has started getting up on all fours and rocking. It frustrates him (as you can also tell from the picture) but it won't be long before he's crawling and getting into all the twins things (and mine:)

Pics from the zoo

Well, I've managed to figure out how to post pictures! Don't forget to leave a comment:)


This picture was taken right before Ethan grabbed a handful of goat fur! I guess he had enough of the goat's licking around on him. Becky headed out when she realized that the goats knew where to find the food hidden under the stroller.







Kenton is feeding a budgie parakeet. See the explaination below by Kait's picture.













Kenton is petting the goat. Notice that you won't find Kaitlyn anywhere near!!













The polar bears were another favorite exhibit! They were fun to watch as they would swim around - one even was back floating. It reminded Becky of the Coke advertisements from years ago with the polar bear holding onto a Coke with sunglasses and floating on its back. While we were there we watched them feed the bears which was neat.





If you look REALLY close behind Kenton and Becky you can see a little orange monkey in the tree behind us. This was a free roaming monkey in the rain forest exhibit. Ryan and Becky were thinking it wasn't supposed to be free and alerted an employee who said that it was. During the coarse of taking pictures the monkey almost jumped on top of Ethan's stroller. That would have been an exciting time for all:)











Braedon and Kaitlyn are ready to go swimming at the Holiday Inn we stayed at the night before. We met Lynwood and Jamie there and swam before and after eating pizza poolside.












Ethan FINALLY fell asleep! Neither he nor Keegan did much sleeping on Monday. Too much to see and do! Guess that the polar bears weren't all that exciting:)











Kaitlyn and Kenton were tired on the way back home and fell asleep in the back sleep. Incidentally Ethan STILL didn't take much of a nap! It was early to bed for him when we got home!









This picture was taken inside the budgie exhibit. We had a lot of fun in there and it was a favorite of Becky's! Melissa used to have a little budgie named Skittles which Kaitlyn's bird reminded her of. For a little girl who's terrified of most animals who get anywhere near her she did really well in the aviary! You could buy a Popsicle stick coated with birdseed to help lure the birds in close.

A Day At The Zoo

I'm still not sure if I'm going to keep this one up or not but thought that I'd continue trying to figure things out:) We went up to Omaha last night and met with Jamie and Lynwood. We had pizza by the pool at the hotel and than swam for awhile. This morning we were up bright and early and spent the day at the Omaha Zoo. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed meeting up with them! I will try to post pictures tomorrow fromm today. We all had our favorites - Kenton's was a horse (at a zoo?), Kaitlyn's was the meercats, Mine was the penguins (or maybe the monkey that almost dropped on top of our stroller), Ryan's was the cheetahs, and Ethans was the goat that tried to eat him while we were at the petting part of the zoo! He grabbed the top of the goats head and pulled out a tuft of hair...ouch! Anyway, we are all back home and in bed for the night and ready for another busy week!

Just Testing

I've been thinking about setting up a website for awhile now for our family to view pictures and read about our lives and I finally decided to try out Blogspot. We'll see how well I like this and if I want to continue or look into something else.
