Time is Passing

We’ve been a little bit busy the last few months.  Well, busy enough to completely forget to update the blog anyway.  Here’s a rundown of some of the highlights.  We visited Zoolights Christmas week and the kids had a very good time riding in the wagon.  Even with snow gear on, they wished for a blanket to keep them warm….next year we’ll bring one.  We finished the evening with the obligatory ride on the carousel.

Christmas day was a fun day to spend quietly at home.  Grandma and Grandpa Cochran came for a few days and we all had fun watching the kids (especially Camden) excitedly open their presents.

January 14th we celebrated Shelby’s 2nd birthday by taking the day off of work and heading to the Seattle Aquarium (compliments of Uncle Neil).  We had a very fun day together and a video is attached here somewhere to watch.  I made Shelby the cake of her choosing and she was more excited about the MnMs on the cake than the cake itself…oh well.

The following Saturday we visited the Marine Research Center at Redondo where scuba divers were out conducting an octopus census.

Here’s Camden with a “garage” he made out of the big blocks.

Camden got to go to the Tacoma Children’s Museum on a field trip for school.  Here he is fishing from his canoe.

The Elefun game is actually more for the costumes and props than actually playing….Shelby is so gangster here that is makes me laugh every time I look at this picture.

Matt took the kids one morning to Chuck E Cheese.  It’s so fun the way the kids have fun together.

We’ve had some visitors the past few months.  Our good friends Chris and Amy came for a rare visit before their big move to Ohio.  While I’m definitely happy for their opportunity, I will miss them a lot.

We also had a photo opportunity with Elena and Kim.

And, here’s Camden with a Lego model he created of Grandma and Grandpa Lee’s motor home.  Those legs he definitely didn’t inherit from his mother….
