Today I was planning on rocking out a December catch-up blog post. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But my heart is just not in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Why?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well it has something to do with this guy...</div>

<div align="center">
Kade, my kindergartner!</div>
<div align="center">
And more it has something to do with other boys and girls just like him who tragically had their lives taken from them today at a school in CT. Ever since I saw the headlines my heart has just ached. I cannot imagine being one of those mommies who will never again get to pack a lunch for her son or daughter to take to school. I am so burdened by the senselessness of it all. But as we do live in a world full of people who do not know the love of my sweet Jesus, I should not be surprised. We do live in a fallen world where bad things happen. Oh how I pray for God to show Himself to the families of those who lost their babies today. To comfort them in a way I cannot even begin to imagine needing to be comforted. Please pray with me. And for those other little boys and girls who had to witness it all....may God allow them to forget like never before.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I am out the door now to go volunteer in Kade's class. Hoping I can hug him real big without breaking down in tears and embarrassing him in front of his classmates.</div>
<div align="center">
So, that December blog catch up will just have to wait. We have so many precious memories that we have been making. Going to work on making more of them today as I hug all of my babies a little tighter.</div>

December? How did you get here so quickly? I had so many plans for what I was going to be ready for when you got here! Only thing I'm ready for is looking back at November and wishing I had at least another week of that wonderful month so that maybe I could be ready for you. Nevertheless, you are here so let's wrap up November and get on with the festivities!</div>
<div align="center">

<div align="center">
So, looking back to pre-Thanksgiving here is what the Lewallen crew had going on....</div>

Kade had a month long Read-A-Thon fund raiser at his afternoon school. In four weeks he read 700 minutes. Twenty-five minutes a day. Pretty good for a Kindergartner, huh? Well he won a prize for the most money raised in Kindergarten. His prize?</div>

She got into the habit of making enough noise when she wakes up to get our attention and then hides under her covers and stays completely quiet when we get in her room to get her out of the crib. It is hilarious. I am certain she really believes that we can't see her there. She keeps it up for a couple of minutes until she just can't help but give the big reveal...</div>

<div align="center">
She is a hoot!</div>
<div align="center">
Not only does she hide under the covers in her bed, she also hides nicely behind the curtains in her room and kitchen, as well as behind chairs and in corners. And yes, she also hides her eyes behind her hands and says "peek a boo" like a pro. </div>

<div align="center">
Ryne loves Miss Abby to pieces. He hasn't seen her much since precious Emily Claire was born and then had to have heart surgery and required all of her Mommy's attention. Then Abby's husband Barry deployed at the beginning of November and she started making plans to head back home to Tennessee for a few months. But before she left (I know, more goodbyes, so sad) she asked to take Ryne out for a lunch date. Made. His. Day. Actually it probably made his year! And as a Mommy I have to say that Abby is such a treasure, not just because she is a wonderful person, but because she loves our Ryn-o like she does. We miss you Miss Abby! And we secretly hope that your family in TN start driving you crazy and you decide to come back to us sooner. Wink. Wink.</div>

It was kind of a way to spend some extra time with this sweet couple...Jonathan and Adri....before they up and left us, too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Just so happened that it was Adri's birthday weekend so we got to celebrate that with her.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jonathan and Adri have been a part of our life for as long as anyone here. They started going to church with us when we met at the coffee shop and their boys and our boys have been long time friends.</div>

<div align="center">
So we've tried to let our boys spend lots of time together lately.</div>
<div align="center">
They are going to be missed terribly. We are looking forward to spending their last night in WA with them tomorrow. And I will try not to cry as we say goodbye to yet another amazing family who have become great friends.</div>
<div align="center">
Before I cry thinking about it now I better move on....</div>

This makes me smile. Went upstairs to wake Ryne up from his nap and this is what I found. He was sound asleep stuffed in a diaper box. This boy is something else. </div>

As if keeping her out of the trashcan and plants wasn't enough...now I have to keep her off of the tables, too. We already have to keep the bathroom door locked with a key hidden for the rest of us when we need to actually use that bathroom. Didn't take long until this is what was happening....</div>

Kade and Ryne seem to be happy about Tesa's new outfit. Tesa on the other hand seems uninterested. I think she was trying to make sure the camera was pointed her way so she could say "cheese."</div>

Super cool, huh?</div>

Ryne turned into a kid who loved reading. Maybe it was Kade's read-a-thon that motivated him. But seriously he has never been one to just sit and let us even look at books with him for very long. Until this month. And he took turns looking at and reading books with anyone who would.</div>

Of course, C.G. was happy to oblige.</div>

Then came Thursday! Turkey Day! Thanksgiving.<br />One of my most favorite holidays!</div>

So much more relaxing than fighting crazy crowds for crazy bargains. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Plus I think the boys needed to conserve their energy and get a little bit of sleep so that they could take part in this this next day.....</div>

We were all having such a good time. The bad news was that the family was headed back south the next morning. So, we only had one afternoon left to actually show Josh a little bit of our world.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We made a drive to Steilacoom to get a nice look at the sound. I think Josh was more impressed with these deer we saw eating apples in someone's yard.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After Steilacoom we made a run down to Olympia. Saw the capital and stopped in for some of what we like to refer to as "good coffee" at a nice coffee shop.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Not sure that Josh is much a fan of "good coffee" yet. And Monk, well she doesn't do coffee so she was happy to enjoy her hot cider. Followed up coffee with a stop at Cabela's on our way home. </div>

And this was our last supper. As I went to grab my camera for a pic I had to admit that I was a bit sad to think that after this night we wouldn't be needing the big table for meals anymore. </div>

Tesa woke up early to say goodbye. You can see that she wasn't too happy about it, either.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not my favorite trip to the airport. Airport goodbyes are no fun. But I tried hard to keep repeating Dr. Suess. "Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened."</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I have so much to smile about. We had such a great time with our family. So incredibly thankful that they made the trip out to Washington to celebrate Thanksgiving with us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And look who happened to show up the day after Thanksgiving....</div>

L. Fee and Grandaddy L. Fee.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Apparently they had heard that Tesa and Tyce have turned into quite a handful because they recruited more help to keep an eye on our brood. A girl elf that the boys named Sparkles.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They've been popping up all over the place since then. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So far that is the only thing Christmas that has been popping up around here. I'm telling you the truth that December got here faster than I was ready for. Hoping to bust out the Christmas decor this week. Stay tuned to see if I actually manage to make it happen. Now don't let me find out that you guys are out there making bets against me. Ha!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you all enjoyed your November as much as we did and I hope that even if December did sneek up on you like it did me that you are enjoying it just the same. 'Tis the Season Ya'll!!!!</div>

I remember when I used to think it was nice to just have a lazy Saturday with nothing planned to do. Well, that wasn't the plan for this past Saturday but when babies are sick with yucky coughs and snotty noses, plans change. We called it a stay at home day. While we were at home with nothing planned, it was anything but lazy. In fact, I felt like it was actually a lot of work. Everybody needed something. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Read me a book. Play a game with me. Can I have a snack? I'm thirsty. Who stinks? I'm ready to do something different. I don't want to watch football. Can I? Can I? Can I? I want. I want. I want.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was wet and cold so I couldn't just boot them out the back door to play. It was impossible to keep cleaning up after them. It was impossible to get anything on my to do list done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
yand go for a LONG drive with them all tied down in one spot just to keep from losing my sanity. Confession. I have done that before. Probably more than once. Then I realized that the chaos was mostly my fault in the first place. I already know that my 5 year old, 3 year old and 15 month olds are needy individuals. This should not have caught me off guard. I know that they are so much less trouble when they've been given a project to do. Especially Kade and Ryne. Projects for Tesa and Tyce usually just include keeping them busy with errands to run. You know, go get that book. Good, now can you go put that car in the bucket? Great job. Go check on Daddy and make sure he's good. The keep em going in different directions kind of errands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, instead of falling back on the long drive option I just wised up and busted out a craft for the big boys to do. I had found this little project on pinterest a few weeks ago and this seemed to be the perfect time to make it happen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Paper lunch bag. Fall colored crayons. White paper to color. Scissors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Viola!.... </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It was fun. And the boys were nice and occupied. Kyle could watch that football game as long as he kept Tesa and Tyce running those errands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I learned my lesson. Don't count on a lazy day at home with these four kiddos anytime soon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So thankful they are mine, I wouldn't give them back for anything...not even a lazy day at home. Now, shipping them off to stay with some grandparents would certainly be an option if they didn't all live thousands of miles away. I could see myself doing that occasionally in order to get one of those lazy days worked into the schedule. Oh well, a girl can dream, right?</div>

Not a super fun week at our house this week. Kade got a cold several days ago and has now shared it with me, Tyce and as of today Tesa. Pretty sure I heard a cough or two out of Ryne before he headed off to school this morning, too. Ugh! Being sick is no fun. Having sick kiddos is even worse than no fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But thankfully before we had the yuckiness we did get to have some fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sunday the kiddos were invited to their buddy Samuel's birthday party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since it was Sunday and Kyle is a bit busy on Sunday's I was flying solo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First stop....store to get a gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Being in a bit of a hurry I didn't want to take the time to get the stroller out so this was my solution. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did it! Left there with one toy to give away and all four children still happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Samuel's party was at a gymnastics place. So much fun!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have to say that I think Tesa and Tyce had the most fun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tesa was testing out the trampoline. Apparently she was oblivious to the arrows and could have cared less that everyone was bouncing towards her.</div>

She was prancing around all over the place. Tesa just might turn out to be our little gymnast.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryne seemed to prefer the trampoline. Maybe because when you actually followed the arrows and bounced to the end you got to jump off in this....</div>

Samuel is one of Ryne's favorite buddies. He hardly ever left his side.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So much fun to celebrate Samuel's birthday with him.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was exhausted after chasing the twins around all afternoon. I just knew as soon as I loaded them up in the van they would crash and get a nice afternoon nap before church. Nope! I was wrong. I even kept driving around in hopes that they would eventually go to sleep. Nope! Took them to church minus the nap on time change day. YIKES! That night they were begging to go to bed! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am glad that I did at least try driving around because look what I came across in our beautiful city...</div>

Looked like it had snowed yellow below them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had been trying to get a photo shoot scheduled with one of our amazing photographer friends and when she saw this pic and the weather said it wouldn't be raining the next day we quickly made plans to meet there when Kade got out of school on Monday afternoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We got there and I about cried. Apparently it was leaf blowing day for the city workers. The beautiful yellow leaves had been all cleaned up. But Dawn went to work with my crazy family anyway and she just shared a sneak peek of what she captured that day.</div>

We had a blast yesterday! I've said before that we aren't big Halloween fans but we do enjoy dressing up and having a reason to party. Just so happens that Halloween gives us that excuse. We don't do spooky stuff or evil stuff. Just fun family stuff. And fun is certainly what we had yesterday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dressing up as a family has become lots of fun for us. Kade decided many weeks ago that he wanted us to all go as Star Wars characters. He and Ryne picked out all of our costumes and we went with it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought it turned out great.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We met up with our Life Group to trick-or-treat the businesses down town. DuPont has such a fun family oriented Halloween time that is great for small children. After that trick-or-treating extravaganza everyone met back up at our house for our Life Group party. Got is started with more trick or treating then eating and playing. We had so much fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Take a look....</div>

Yep, I definitely think that Tesa and Tyce have grown the most!<br />
<br />
Hit up the hay maze....<br />

The stroller didn't fit through the maze so we just waited and watched. I could only see Kyle.<br />

They could only see me. Not that exciting. But they had snacks so they were content.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I think they were afraid of me putting them back in the stroller because every time I tried to get in front of them to take their picture they turned their backs to me and took off in the opposite direction. So I don't have many pictures from the front. <br />
We were waiting for the boys to get back from their hayride adventure so I could get a pic of all four of them in the pumpkin patch together. <br />
As soon as they made it back Ryne found a mud puddle that he did NOT want to leave.<br />

So, Kyle had to coax him gently over to the pumpkin patch where Kade was waiting so patiently.<br />

Thankful that at least one of my kiddos cooperates for pictures!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But seriously, what was I thinking????<br />
You and I both know that my history with taking pictures in which all four of these kiddos are looking is not a good one.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I tried anyway.<br />

Tesa was just interested in eating mud.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KtgJ04k8wxI/UIw2_kj8ZnI/AAAAAAAAtCE/Id6VZtUy2eQ/s1600/IMG_6277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-KtgJ04k8wxI/UIw2_kj8ZnI/AAAAAAAAtCE/Id6VZtUy2eQ/s400/IMG_6277.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Getting closer. You can actually see Tyce's face here.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qtf2NOISqzs/UIw3CPMwCLI/AAAAAAAAtCk/HZIl1YOaME4/s1600/IMG_6281.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qtf2NOISqzs/UIw3CPMwCLI/AAAAAAAAtCk/HZIl1YOaME4/s400/IMG_6281.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Then Tesa looks away. To tell her brothers just how delicious pumpkin patch mud is, no doubt.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ndlNTzFpcbw/UIw3CxuL8SI/AAAAAAAAtCs/Y5vBU5Ed7Ko/s1600/IMG_6282.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ndlNTzFpcbw/UIw3CxuL8SI/AAAAAAAAtCs/Y5vBU5Ed7Ko/s400/IMG_6282.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
And everyone looks!!! But it is blurry and no smiles. Oh well. I love it anyway.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And apparently Tesa was happy with that performance. Either that or she is now cheering about just how yummy that mud was.<br />

Then my sweet girl practiced her "cheese" for the camera!<br />

Tesa and Tyce really did enjoy wandering through the pumpkins.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Ryne found his way back to the mud puddle.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most certain that was his favorite part of the trip.<br />
<br />
But we still had to pick out pumpkins to take home with us.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Loaded up the wheel barrel and headed out to do some pumpkin picking.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Apparently Ryne thought standing on them would help determine if it was a good pumpkin or not.<br />

Isn't that a barrel full of cute pumpkins???<br />
Guess Kyle was tired of me being the only one pushing around cute pumpkins in a stroller. Ha!<br />
As we passed a nice little flower garden I saw these...<br />

Mom, don't you use these cool purple flowers as filler at the flower shop all the time? I know where to get some now if I ever need to get some for myself.<br />
We had such a fun time at the pumpkin patch. Thankful for that family tradition that started four years ago as one of our very first things to do after moving to Washington....<br />

Kade in the same pumpkin patch October 2008. He might not have grown much from last year to this year but he has grown a WHOLE LOT since 2008!!!<br />
<br />
What to do with a pumpkin from the pumpkin patch???<br />

Nice work, guys!<br />
<br />
Then we had to do something not so fun the next week.<br />
Flu shots!<br />
Let the boys pick out a cupcake for dessert after dinner since they were having to get a shot.<br />
Asked them to give me their best "this is how I feel about getting a flu shot" faces....<br />

And I also like that Tesa loves to say "cheese" for the camera! If she sees the camera or Kyle or I with our phones she immediately starts chanting, "cheese, cheese, cheese" until she gets her picture taken. Now if I can just teach her to keep looking at the camera while she's saying cheese I'll have it made. <br />

To wrap up this blog post I'll share my birthday with you!<br />

<br />My birthday was on a Friday and Kade was so distraught because he had school all day and then he and Kyle had a Watch Dogs meeting at school that night. He could not figure out how he was going to be able to fit a birthday party into his schedule. I do love that my children love to celebrate birthdays! So when Kade got home from school we had this for afternoon snack...<br />

Tesa and Tyce enjoyed the party from their high chairs. It paid off for them because eventually they were given some chocolate cake of their own for their patience.<br />

So thankful for my precious family who were all so excited about my birthday. I am blessed!<br />
<br />
And today that precious family is going to transform into their Star Wars characters and go get some candy! While we are not a big fans of Halloween, we do enjoy dressing up and having an excuse to have a party. So that is what we are going to do. Stay tuned for pictures of that!</div>

The rain that is!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yes, this past Friday our seasons changed. We left our lovely season of sunshine and entered the season of rain. That's right. We have two seasons here in the Pacific Northwest. Summer and Rain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not complaining, though. The rain came at the end of a record-breaking 81 days of very little rain. In fact until this past Friday, October 12, we had seen only .03 inches of rain since July 23rd. It was a fabulous summer! And now we will just plan for a fabulous rain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Wouldn't you know the rain showed up just in time for this....</div>

He goes to school all day with these guys. They attend the Rubber Room together in the mornings and then are in the same Kindergarten class in the afternoon. So glad he has such good buddies. </div>

Kade and his Rubber Room buddies had to find each other to line up next to. There are actually 4 of them in the same class all day. See the sweet little girl in the pink polka dot kind of hidden behind Jourdan? That's Maddison and she is also their Rubber Room buddy. Such a sweet heart. </div>

Very thankful that I got to enjoy this field trip with Kade. All possible because Kyle was so gracious to be home taking care of the other three kiddos. Planning a family trip to the pumpkin patch real soon!</div>

Another really exciting thing happened last week. We kicked off our new semester of Life Groups for church. We always have a group that meets at our house on Wednesdays and we love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This Wednesday we had an incredible time. I have no pics of the adults having a great time digging into their study but I do have these....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Pics of an upstairs packed full of kiddos having a good time. See our buddy Jonathan sitting on the couch? Well he and his sweet wife Mandi and little girl Mary Beth did us a giant favor and came over to watch all the kiddos for us. Why was that a giant favor? Well, we had 15 kiddos and that doesn't count the two babies who stayed with their mommas! See, I told you it was a giant favor! But it afforded us the opportunity to kick off Life Group as a whole without two of us being on kid patrol. THANK YOU Johnny, Mandi and Mary Beth!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kiddos say thanks too, because just look at the fun they had...</div>

Love that our church is full of children. Such an opportunity to train up the next generation in the love of Jesus. Life Group was awesome and we are looking forward to doing it again tonight!<br />
<br />
Had lots of things rolling around in my mind lately. Working on how to share those things with you sometime soon. For now, I've got to get my plan together for the grocery store. Not my favorite but it must be done! May you all have a fabulous not have to go to the grocery store kind of day.</div>

Kade was super excited about Tyce's costume. He kept saying, "look how cute Tyce will be, look how cute Tyce will be. Isn't this awesome?!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I had to put the camera away when the light sabers came out. Yikes...talk about some boys going bonkers. We quickly put those away before anyone got hurt and drew their attention to package number 2.</div>

Now tomorrow I get to go with Kade's Kindergarten class on a field trip to the pumpkin patch. Going to be time to do some pumpkin carving soon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hope you are enjoying the season, too. </div>

Tesa, we have learned, it perfectly content as long as she can carry around a bag of snacks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think she is a lot like her big brother Ryne. You may recall that when Ryne was a little tot I kept finding him in the pantry helping himself to a bag of chips or box of cookies.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Congratulations Ryan and Haley!!! <br />Heard it was an amazing day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And yes, I was totally jealous that Kyle was there and I wasn't and that he got to see lots of our old friends and I didn't. But more than that I was so happy that Kyle was able to be there to celebrate with friends that hold such a special place in our hearts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides, the kiddos and I were busy doing our thing while he was gone anyway....</div>

Had the privilege of joining our awesome friend Morgan for the Up With Down Syndrome Buddy Walk on Saturday morning. Such a cool time to get to show Morgan and her family that we love them bunches!</div>

We started our buddy walk at the fire station so the kiddos were all over the fire truck.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This is our friend Adri and her little man Joshua at the buddy walk. You might remember from an earlier post that I mentioned we had been trading out date nights with Adri and her hubby Jonathan. Maybe you remember the pic of Kade and Ryne picnicking with Joshua and his big brother Anthony??? Anyway, we found out recently that they will be moving soon. Great big super duper sad face from us!!! But way excited for them. Jonathan is going to have an opportunity to pursue something in the army that he has been wanting to do AND it also means that he is not having to deploy in the next couple of months and be gone from his family for a year. So great big giant happy faces from me for them!!! But, oh we are going to miss them! So for now we are trying to enjoy every chance we have to spend time together. They have been here and been our friends and a part of our church for longer than anyone else. So, we are just hoping that the military brings them back to us one day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I must move on to more fun stuff....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the Buddy Walk we went to a football game. Our friend Zak plays football and his sister Ava cheers. Kade was just beside himself with excitement over getting to watch Zak's football game.</div>

Ryne and Olivia were a bit more interested in what they termed "the snack zone."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The babies did great hanging out in their stroller for an extended period on Saturday. Tossed them lots of snacks as well to keep them happy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a busy day...I figured keeping busy might make a day minus Daddy move a little faster. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On Sunday our friend Haley came to visit....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
The kiddos just love her. Probably because she is sooo super good with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She went to church with us Sunday night which was a lot of fun. Really strange being there without Kyle. When we pulled up to church Kade said, "hey, where's Dad?" As if he didn't think church could happen without him so he must have come back in time for church. But alas, he was not there and church carried on. Not only did it carry on, but it was good. I know it does Kyle's heart good to know that he can be away from church without worrying about whether or not things will be okay. What an awesome group of people we have to do church with. Our friend Greg Thompson preached Sunday night and did an awesome job. Even so, I still missed Kyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He made it back late Sunday night and I felt like things were all in order again.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hayley was off work on Monday for Columbus Day so she stuck around to hang out with us.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
While the boys were at school we went to the Nisqually Wildlife Refuge and did the nature walk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We stopped at a look out point and were observing the wildlife when I noticed Tesa take her paci out of her mouth (it was naptime and I was hoping with paci's and blankets they might sleep on the stroll). I quickly reached for it and taking it from her said, "Oh Tesa, don't you throw that paci. You'll lose it." No sooner had I gotten those words out of mouth and Tyce yanked his paci out tossed it. Over the side....</div>

Bye Bye paci! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we strolled back through the tide had come in and this poor little paci was floating below. I bet that paci is going to have an interesting adventure in the Puget Sound. </div>

Star Wars action figures!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were over the moon!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These boys seriously love some Star Wars. Never seen the show but have friends who tell them all about it. Kade tells me stuff all of the time about the characters and who they are and what they do and it blows my mind how much he has learned from his friends. I hope his friends have it all right so that one day when he does get to watch the movies he's not thinking the whole time, "hey, that's not how it's supposed to be."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These guys even requested that our whole family dress up as Star Wars characters for Halloween. Wait to you see us!!</div>

On another note...so are the babies! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Challenges with them have been many lately. Tesa can open doors! Keeping them out of the bathroom...UGH! Keeping them out of Kade and Ryne's room and off of the top bunk....UGH! Tyce likes to bite Tesa if she is in his way and want move. They both love to climb up and dance on top of the coffee table. Sure it is funny, I should get video sometime, but I still can't let them think that it is okay for the next thing I know they will be dancing on top of the kitchen table. And probably the biggest challenge...they are getting ready to give up a nap! Boo! Hiss! I am not ready to lose a nap time for the sake of my routine and schedule. Most days on or the other of them refuses to go to sleep for either the morning or afternoon nap. Currently they are both crying in their cribs in disgust over being left there for an afternoon nap. I'll just have to figure out another time to sweep, do laundry and dishes, and shower. Oh well, times they are a changing and I can't stop it. So, I might as well embrace it. Going to get the babes up and let them play now.</div>

Could it be?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Am I really on the verge of being caught up here in blog land?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kyle is out of town on his little birthday present getaway in Kentucky for a wedding and I am determined it find myself in a position to post the current events in our lives instead of this steady stream of days gone by. While the reminiscing has been fun, it will be nice to have the weight of "got to get caught up on the blog" off of my shoulders. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, with no further ado, I bring you the month of September.....</div>

I just love getting to spend time with my awesome hubby without the distraction of our kiddos.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You may notice a new hairdo here. My last time I had my hair "did" was in May before I went to Arkansas for a month. I walked in to the salon and my stylist looked up and very kindly said, "oh, look at all that natural platinum I see." Ugh! Genetics. Yes, I choose to blame genetics for my gray hair and not my kids. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Either way, this time I was really NOT excited about needing to hide the gray. Was really feeling old. Just told my guy to do what he wanted to. And to make sure that the gray could stay hidden well in case it was another 4 months before I made it back to visit. Left there feeling a bit like Goldilocks and I'm still not used to the new bangs. Oh well. It is what it is and I do realize that I'm not getting any younger. So I'm getting over it and moving on. At least for now. Ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a nice afternoon and needed to get our kiddos out of the house. Because, well to be perfectly honest, they were driving us crazy inside...way too much energy and they would NOT leave each other alone.</div>

Just as we started up the trail a sweet lady stopped us and asked if we had a picture of all of us because it was a must if we didn't. Wasn't that thoughtful? So glad she took our picture all smiles at the start of our first family hike.</div>

They were in awe as if they had never seen a baby before. Her sweet grandmother was so awesome to let the boys gawk over her while Abby and I chatted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few days later this precious baby had to go to the emergency room because she was getting sick. Found out that she was born with a heart problem and had to have open heart surgery. If any of you keep up with us on Facebook then you quite likely saw my plea for prayers for this sweet baby. God heard the prayers of literally thousands of people praying around the globe for Emily Claire. She did great with surgery and is home and on the road to recovery.</div>

We started celebrating over breakfast. Gave him his new Run to Remember t-shirt and told him that we were going to give him Saturday mornings free to go join the weekly run that happens here in DuPont. It is an awesome thing. Each week people dressed in their blue shirts gather together and read off the names of soldiers who have given their lives for our country in the war on terror then take off to run at least three miles to honor and pay respect to those fallen soldiers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just so happened that our friend Jeannette, who left DuPont and moved to California quite a while back, came to visit us this weekend. So we had someone to join our party!</div>

Stopped for Kyle's birthday dinner at a cool little inn just outside of the national park. It was nice. Then went home and put some rather exhausted kiddos to bed. Had been waiting all day to give Kyle is "big surprise" and hated that the kids were asleep but I just couldn't let it wait until the next day. Why? Well, because all of our families had chipped in on this one and I was afraid he was thinking that nobody loved him enough to send a gift this year so I couldn't wait. What did he get? A trip to Kentucky! We have a great friend getting married there and the wedding invitation came in the mail and I immediately checked plane tickets. Knew right away we wouldn't be making a family trip to that wedding. And I also knew that Kyle wouldn't suggest that just he go to the wedding and catch up with all of our old pals while I stayed here with our four energetic kiddos. But I so wanted him to be able to go. And just so happened that is birthday was right around the corner. Our families were all happy to chip in for something that he would be super excited about. Gave him the gift right before we went to bed and he was totally surprised!!! PERFECT, just the way I wanted it! Ironic thing is, that all happened August 24th. I'm tell you about it Oct.4 and Kyle is upstairs packing right now for his plane that leaves in the morning. Happy Birthday to Kyle all over again!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sure hoping he will take some pics for me.</div>

Ryne went on a nature adventure sponsored by REI. He had to answer questions about hiking etiquette then follow the rope attache to the correct answer to find his way through a maze.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade was trying to show off the lightning bolt tattoo that he had painted on his face.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After Sand in the City Kyle took the kiddos and let Jeannette and I take off for some shopping and dinner. A girl afternoon. Sure wish I would have taken some pictures...guess I was too excited and not sure what to do not lugging a diaper bag around that I completely forgot about the camera in my purse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nonetheless, we had a great time and it was so cool to have a chance to visit with a friend who left us but didn't forget us. Thanks for coming Jeannette!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
August was just about over.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And to get Kade prepped for going to Kindergarten. If you missed it...I did do a "current event" post to share his first day of school. There are more pics of that <a href="http://thelewallens.blogspot.com/2012/09/its-over.htm">here on this post.</a></div>

If things don't go just her way she can lay out on the floor in despair with true emotion.<br />
Cracks me up!<br />

Congratulations if you made it to the end of another month-long blog post. Thanks for riding the catch-up train with me. I'm almost there. One more fun-filled month to go and this blog will be rocking current events all the time.<br />
Stay tuned for September....</div>

Beach, Wedding, Birthday Party...what more could we possibly pack into July?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well let's just see....<br />
Baby showers for Abby! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby teaches at the Rubber Room where Kade and Ryne go to school.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was her Rubber Room shower with lots of moms of preschoolers.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby also goes to church with us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Our awesome friend Sarah hosted an amazing tea for Abby's shower.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby's baby is named Emily Claire. I love this name. Why? Abby has two sisters. Guess what their names are? Emily and Claire! Isn't that the sweetest????</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5-RF5ab5Zpw/UGX65RF2Y9I/AAAAAAAAozQ/YQLdZalUV0g/s1600/IMG_4576.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5-RF5ab5Zpw/UGX65RF2Y9I/AAAAAAAAozQ/YQLdZalUV0g/s400/IMG_4576.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R-ys9Yo7FJs/UGX68Vu07TI/AAAAAAAAozg/eO7WeL-Pz6E/s1600/IMG_4578.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-R-ys9Yo7FJs/UGX68Vu07TI/AAAAAAAAozg/eO7WeL-Pz6E/s400/IMG_4578.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this fun game everyone had to place a paper plate on their head and draw the cutest baby they could. Here, Abby is trying to pick the winner.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AM2Xxa5-_uo/UGX7AcKYeVI/AAAAAAAAoz8/zEN4T-9pTxA/s1600/IMG_4581.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AM2Xxa5-_uo/UGX7AcKYeVI/AAAAAAAAoz8/zEN4T-9pTxA/s400/IMG_4581.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Isn't that precious? Seriously. This is a good baby. The scribbles all over the plate that was upon my head did not resemble a baby at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EKUo-hULZTo/UGX7Qdm8TfI/AAAAAAAAo1Y/6znetat9wLs/s1600/IMG_4591.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-EKUo-hULZTo/UGX7Qdm8TfI/AAAAAAAAo1Y/6znetat9wLs/s400/IMG_4591.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we played a game to see who could drink up their bottle of pink lemonade first.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3iD6cMAPsI4/UGX7Ws-7JYI/AAAAAAAAo18/XsKp3dXvAUQ/s1600/IMG_4595.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-3iD6cMAPsI4/UGX7Ws-7JYI/AAAAAAAAo18/XsKp3dXvAUQ/s400/IMG_4595.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was crazy hard. No one finished their bottle. We came to the conclusion that we have no idea how babies do that...but we are no longer surprised that babies like to sleep after finishing off a bottle. It is hard work. Sarah and Rebekah were the best at it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GcnH1f_mvpU/UGX7jQuKc9I/AAAAAAAAo3A/glX5srxNp4U/s1600/IMG_4603.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-GcnH1f_mvpU/UGX7jQuKc9I/AAAAAAAAo3A/glX5srxNp4U/s400/IMG_4603.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we moved on to something more productive.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MCb3gk0dmQ0/UGX7lizddlI/AAAAAAAAo3I/0alrcgBmcrc/s1600/IMG_4604.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MCb3gk0dmQ0/UGX7lizddlI/AAAAAAAAo3I/0alrcgBmcrc/s400/IMG_4604.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sarah had us all set up to make headbands for Emily Claire.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6rvM9zg1NPk/UGX7o6LXdII/AAAAAAAAo3c/NnW6huQuTf4/s1600/IMG_4606.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6rvM9zg1NPk/UGX7o6LXdII/AAAAAAAAo3c/NnW6huQuTf4/s400/IMG_4606.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This crafty girl, meaning myself, actually created a couple of headbands. It was fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then there were presents...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vHhEBnEQiS4/UGX7vqyoOoI/AAAAAAAAo4A/N1bOooe10uk/s1600/IMG_4610.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vHhEBnEQiS4/UGX7vqyoOoI/AAAAAAAAo4A/N1bOooe10uk/s400/IMG_4610.JPG" width="266" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Abby's mom had made lots of stuff for Emily Claire's room and had sent pictures of it to Sarah to have all wrapped up for the shower. Isn't that the coolest? So special.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So thankful for such a sweet friend like Abby! I think I loved her first because my boys loved her so much when she became their teacher. In fact, Ryne refers to her as "my Miss Abby." Isn't that sweet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so much fun getting to celebrate Emily Claire's soon arrival with her. (FYI...remember this post is from July...Emily Claire is here now and we love her to pieces....stay tuned to future posts to meet her.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We celebrated half-birthdays!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-85D6x1viKWc/UGXx81rDlFI/AAAAAAAAopc/7GdyBboTCW0/s1600/IMG_4511.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-85D6x1viKWc/UGXx81rDlFI/AAAAAAAAopc/7GdyBboTCW0/s400/IMG_4511.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was Kade's actual 1/2 birthday on July 17th.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryne's 1/2 birthday was June 30...we were kind of busy getting Monk Monk and Uncle Josh married that day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SF1RqBv9uuM/UGXyL61NozI/AAAAAAAAoq0/_0qmsYSv09E/s1600/IMG_4527.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-SF1RqBv9uuM/UGXyL61NozI/AAAAAAAAoq0/_0qmsYSv09E/s400/IMG_4527.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We couldn't convince Ryne that all of that cake at the reception was for his half birthday. He totally knew that it was all for the wedding and none for the 1/2 birthday. We did let him pick which drive through we stopped at for dinner on our way to Florida on July 1st but I still felt like he was slighted a bit. So this year instead of serving up half a cake as usual on half-birthdays I served up a whole one. Half for Kade and half for Ryne.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Kyle and Kade took off every morning for Bible School while Ryne, Tesa, Tyce and I stayed behind to hang out with all of these tots....</div>

With the help of my sweet friend LeAnn, we took care of all the Vacation Bible School workers' kiddos who weren't old enough to go to VBS themselves. We had a house full of babies every day. There is no telling how many pounds of Goldfish snacks were consumed in our home that week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had fun. And word from Kade and Kyle is that Bible School was lots of fun too. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade still talks about their main point, "No Matter What, Trust God!"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'd show you pictures of the fun they had but I don't have any this year...I was tied up a bit and couldn't make it over to take any. Maybe next year?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tesa and Tyce did a lot of growing...</div>

Little bit more challenging now that babies like to be entertained. It was so nice when they just slept in their carriers while Kyle and I enjoyed a brunch date. Oh well, they're cute and it is still doable...just doesn't feel so much like a real date anymore with our little chaperones.</div>

Lots of playing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Even the hard outside kind of playing where you get pushed off the slide by your big brother and end up with a skinned nose.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was also the month that Tesa decided she didn't like wearing bows in her hair anymore. Got very few pictures of her with a bow. And if I managed to get one on her and distract her so that she forgot about it, Tyce would notice it and promptly remove it for her. It was as if he knew she wouldn't want it there and was doing her a favor. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
In celebration of the last day of July and the expiration of our zoo pass...</div>

This was the first time that we took Tesa and Tyce in to see the sharks. I think they enjoyed it.</div>

That was a fun new adventure.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I was proud of them. The rule is "touch but don't pick up" and that can be hard.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But they did great at only touching. Guess they are growing up into real big boys who know how to follow rules. That is nice.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we spotted this guy...a pipefish....just like the Mr. Squiggles that Kade caught in the ocean on our Florida vacation. They really thought that was cool.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a super hero in the show so they were totally into it. Oh, and it did have some really cool animals, too. But I think it was the super hero that took it over the top for them.</div>

Tesa and Tyce really looked at things more than ever before. I think they enjoyed the zoo so much this time. Won't be long and they will demand to do the zoo minus the stroller. Oh dear! I'm NOT ready for that.</div>

And because they were good, they got to end the zoo trip with a ride on the carousel.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After the zoo we stopped for ice cream....for some reason I didn't take any pictures of that. If I remember correctly it was because I was busy feeding the twins their ice cream treat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was such a good last day of July that we didn't want it to end. So on our way home, we just stopped at the park to play...</div>

Can't think of a better way to end July than with the people who make my heart so happy because I get to call them mine.<br />

July...what a wonderful month...and that's a wrap.</div>

Okay, so technically they are almost one and a quarter now but Tesa and Tyce did get to have their second first birthday party here in Washington with all the people that we get to do life with day in and day out. And it was actually much closer to their birthday. Tyce still wasn't too sure about everyone singing loudly to him. You will see picture evidence of this. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since I had been taking their pictures each month with their sweet little owls I decided to go with an owl theme for this party. It was fun! We had lots of friends come help us celebrate. Take a look....</div>

Do you see D and Lissa holding the yellow book in the background? </div>

So cool, our friends Jesse and Briita brought this recordable book and had everyone pass it around recording an awesome Curious George story to put in Tesa and Tyce's time capsule. What a treasure! Even has the whole group singing Happy Birthday on a page. I'm sure I will cry when they open it and listen on their 13th birthday. </div>

We made it back home to Washington just in time to enjoy the wedding of our sweet friends Wil and Mollie.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade got to be a part of the wedding party and he was thrilled about it. He did a great job. The rest of our kiddos did a great job too...they were just as cute as could be. It was a super special day and we were so glad that we got to be a part of celebrating with them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are pics from the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Keep an eye out for one of my favorite shots of the day...Ryne trying to help Tesa get her shoe back on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoy the beautiful wedding....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Day after the wedding we went on vacation!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To the Gulf of Mexico. Oh how we have missed visiting those beautiful beaches each summer since moving to Washington. I was at first against the idea because I knew that taking Tesa and Tyce would not be any fun. Who wants to spend a week keeping babies from eating sand and throwing it in each others' eyes?? Then my Mom, angel that she is, and crazy that she is, offered to keep the twins while we took the big boys to the beach. We took her up on the offer and headed out with Brian, Kimberly, Brandon and Taylor for a family vacation adventure. Granna and Paw even joined us for part of the trip. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are the pictures of our fun.....</div>

Amanda and her sweet girls Brooke, Raelyn and Natalie made a road trip to see us while we were on their side of the country. They were great friends of ours from when we first moved to WA...then the army moved them. So glad we've been able to stay in touch with them and getting to see them was AWESOME!</div>

Figured out it was the only way to actually take a break on the beach. As long as Ryne was busy burying me and Kyle had Kade then I could relax for a moment. Boy do I look forward to having the kind of beach vacation that I really miss again one day. Napping, book reading, sipping a cold green tea, strolling along the water's edge looking for shells. Maybe 20 years from now I can do that again. For now, I'll just choose to enjoy the not so relaxing fun....except when I can manage to convince Ryne to bury me.<br />

Kade requested the camera in the backseat so that he could take pictures
of everything as we drove away from the beach because he didn't want to
forget about any of it. He happened to also snap this picture of me
spying on him. Ha!<br />

Ryne
slept through all of dinner and woke up hours later wanting to know
when he was going to have supper. Poor guy, he was exhausted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a good exhausted though, I'm sure.<br />
<br />
<br />

It was a fun trip and we are so glad that we got to spend some time with these awesome people...</div>

Brian and Kimberly...thanks for putting up with us for a week. I know
we are crazy, even when it is only four of the six of us. Thanks for the
memories!<br />

Speaking
of memories. Kyle had been talking about eating at Waffle House since
the very first day of our trip. We hadn't been able to make it happen.
So on our trip back to Arkansas we were sure to make a stop.</div>

Kade may not have looked like a very happy camper in that first picture but after he had a taste of this chocolate chip waffle he was a whole new critter!<br />

So glad my boys got some Waffle House! I enjoyed it too.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was a super fun trip but I was way ready to make it back to Junction City to get these guys...</div>

Don't you just love how their pool from the "water park" (see post about June in Arkansas) turned into their playpen at the flower shop?! Mom, you are awesome! Thanks so much C.G. and Grandaddy for keeping these silly little babies so we could enjoy our week at the beach. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Took all night to get us repacked so we could catch our plane in Little Rock early the next morning. And I'm not kidding. All. Night. What else would you expect. We did get there on May 31st and it was now July 6th. That's a lot of time for things to get scattered about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And just like that our whirlwind blew right back to Washington.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stay tuned to see what the summer in WA had in store for us.</div>

The big event that brought us to the end of June was a wedding for my kid sister.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She was getting my kiddos an Uncle Josh and we were all excited about the festivities.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my June post you got to see a shower, a bridal tea and a bachelorette party for Monk. It was all fun but here is the real excitement. I'll spare you too many words and just let you enjoy the pictures.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From putting together the flowers, enjoying the rehearsal dinner, to the ceremony and reception it was definitely a grand adventure. Hope you enjoy it like we did....</div>

I think there were thousands of these flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I was so busy working with them that I didn't take any more pictures until it was rehearsal time.</div>

This is Neill and his beautiful girl. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quick small world story. Kyle and I have known Neill and Danielle for quite a few years. We went to their wedding a few years back before we moved to Washington. Come to find out. Josh, Monk's husband, was the best man at their wedding. What? I know, crazy huh? Josh and Neill are friends from way back and we had no idea of the connection until Danielle noticed a picture of Monk's ring on Facebook and made the random connection. Cool.</div>

Then all that was left....CLEAN UP!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The entire time we cleaned, Kyle and I kept saying over and over again just how thankful we were for all those people who did this for us 8 years ago. We didn't truly know how thankful to be until then.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I would do it all over again for my Kid Sister because I love her and she deserves it! </div>

You will not believe how much stuff we packed into the month that we spent in Arkansas.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First of all, we sent Kade off to spend a few days with his cousins in Oklahoma. And to even go to church camp with them for a couple of days. All WITHOUT us!!! Aaaahhhh....surely he isn't old enough to have done that? <br />
Well, he did. And thanks to his Aunt Kim for taking pictures and passing them along to me, here is photographic evidence that he did just fine with out me.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Getting ready for some preaching. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He had actually been to camp at Bogg Springs for two summers when he was a baby because this is where we went to camp with our church in Arkansas. He wasn't big enough to sit in one of those chairs by himself then so, of course, he doesn't remember it at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't think he will ever forget this trip to camp....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Every morning C.G. took Kade and Ryne and dropped them off for VBS and they had a blast. This was the church that I grew up in and attended countless Vacation Bible Schools. The kids they got to spend time with belonged to my friends. So cool. I can only imagine what all these kids thought about the two "new boys" visiting from Washington state. That would have been super cool when I was a kid in VBS. I'm not sure if the other kids thought they were cool or not. But I do know that my boys thought going to VBS was way cool!!! I loved watching them perform their songs at the end of each day when I went to pick them up. Brought back such fond memories.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />I'm thinking Tesa and Tyce will have fond memories too...</div>

I firmly believe that it is worth a dollar to pick up a new pack of play-doh each time I visit the Dollar Tree. They can play for hours and mix up any of the colors they want to.

getting to see this girl!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That is Kaye Marie. She and I were inseparable in high school. Then came college and she got married and I got married and she lived in Miami and I lived in Washington and we NEVER seemed to make it "home" at the same time to see each other. But this time it happened!! We were both home at the same time. Granted she now lives in Tennessee which is quite a bit closer and she was only home for a couple of days...still we got to see each other and let our children meet each other. It was great.</div>

Not sure when we will have all of our kiddos in the same place again but I sure am glad that it happened this time. I sure do miss that girl and cannot believe that in all of the pictures I took, I didn't get a single one of the two of us together. I'll try not to let that happen next time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I will always treasure that visit, I know my boys will always treasure this visit...</div>

Yep, even Tesa and Tyce seemed to know that hanging out in Con Con's kitchen was the cool thing to do. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade just kept wanting to know when he could come back and stay as a camper. Oh how I hope that all my kids will one day have the opportunity to experience Brookhill. It was a fun afternoon but alas, there was dinner to be made so we got ourselves out of the way and drove toward Arkadelphia.</div>

My kid sister is the BEST!</div>

And almost every time we went somewhere together someone asked us if we were twins. I'll take that!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And on multiple occasions while I was home I was mistaken for my sister. I loved the look on people's faces when I informed them that I was actually Terry and not Monkey. I don't really think we look that much alike, I think people just expected to see her and not me so they went with "it must be Monkey."</div>

Kade and Ryne were terribly upset that we went and had a party without them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So Grandaddy and C.G. made it up to them with their very first trip to Chuck E. Cheese's!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade had been seeing commercials for birthday parties at Chuck E's and kept asking to go their for his birthday party. Remember we are in June here....Kade's birthday is in January! And Ryne's is in December.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also remember there is a reason C.G. stands for Crazy Granny!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those boys had a summer birthday party....</div>

And that was our last big hoorah before THE BIG HOORAH!<br />
That's right....we are getting close to wedding time now. I'll save that for a post all its own.<br />
See, I told you it was a fun-filled adventure packed June. A month that I am so incredibly grateful for. Hope our fun didn't bore you too much.<br />
If you made it through all of this post and are reading these final words....you deserve an award!<br />
Check back soon to see the day Monkey changed her name!<br />

You buckled your seat belts for June, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I decided to take it easy on you sweet blog readers and start June off slow but with a party.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Literally, a party!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For these guys...</div>

Yes, I know their birthday is in July but we celebrated early with our family and friends in Arkansas.</div>

Kade and Ryne both got to have their 1st birthday parties with our families so we didn't want Tesa and Tyce to miss that special event. So, since we were going to be in AR for all of June we had to figure out how to fit a party in. Just happened that it only fit on the front end of the trip. So, they were almost 11 months old when they had their first 1st birthday party!</div>

Our sweet friend whom we lovingly call Granny Di had made these cute crab outfits for the twins and gave them to us when we were home in April. They inspired a nice ocean life party...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
We planned the party to take place at a park in Little Rock so that both of our families could meet in the middle. (And so that we could take Kyle to the airport for his flight back home afterward.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not only did both of our families get to be there but we had lots of awesome friends who came to wish our sweet babies a happy birthday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Hope you enjoyed a recap of Tesa and Tyce's first 1st Birthday party. When it was over we took Kyle to the airport where he would fly back to Washington and the rest of us would head to south Arkansas to spend the next four weeks missing him. Want to know what we did there?????</div>

It was sort of awkward looking back through my May photo folder and remembering how we were busy gearing up for summer time and here we are in September trying to prep ourselves for the fact that summer is coming to a close in our world. But May it is...and if I finish this post I will officially be only a quarter of a year away from being caught up on our blog family scrapbook of adventure.</div>

A trip to the mall all by myself with these four kiddos of mine.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yikes, right? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, we needed to get Daddy a Father's Day present so it had to be done.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And we totally survived...three trips to the potty later....we had what we needed and loaded up to venture over to REI to finish our shopping. That was probably even scarier. At one point, while I am visiting with an associate about which sleeping pad to purchase, I look up to see Kade and Ryne no longer standing next to the carts in which Tesa and Tyce were hanging out. Instead I spot them swinging as they sit the "hooded" part of the sleeping bags that are hanging upside down on display nearby. Only their little feet are showing. It was time to make our purchase and head for home while the day could still be considered a success.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a few of our date mornings that still managed to pan out in May. </div>

You may recall from previous posts that we would take these cuties and try to have breakfast or early lunch dates while the big boys were at school. We started doing that because the twins would just sleep through it and it was a nice time away for us. They obviously no longer sleep through those dates but at least they are a cute addition to our table....guess we could kind of just consider it a double date now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We followed this particular date morning up with something special....</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
cousins!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kyle's first cousin Ellen and her family were in route from Alaska to Missouri and had a stop off in Seattle. We were happy that we got to take the time to visit with them. It was the first time I had ever gotten to meet her sweet kids. And our kiddos loved them. We didn't get to stay long because we had a wedding rehearsal to make it back for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember that sweet girl Jordan that I was telling you about earlier??? </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Jacob...he's the one on the left. I've already laid claim to the handsome fella on the right. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But in case you don't remember the cool story about Jacob. He and Kyle grew up in the same town...went to church together, etc. Then when we move to Washington to plant a church, Jacob is living here, going to college and playing football. He and Jordan were a huge part of our church getting started. What a blessing they have been to us. And Kyle was given the honor of performing their ceremony for them. But this was just practice, the real wedding comes later.</div>

The kiddos and I had plans to be in AR for all of the month of June, which meant we would be missing Father's Day with Kyle. We just designated our own Father's Day and celebrated with him early this year.</div>

And since he had plans to do some backpacking while we were in AR, the new sleeping bad early was perfect. Well, at least I thought so.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade busied himself drawing on the program before the ceremony.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
But once the ceremony was underway....this boy didn't miss one bit of it. I'm not even sure he blinked.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was, after all, his first wedding to attend that he could actually remember. See that sweet girl in the black smiling behind him? Yep, that's Alissa and her wedding to Derek was Kade's first and only other wedding...he was a barely five months old and slept through most of it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryne could barely wait to get his hands on Jacob...he certainly considered Jacob to be one of his best friends. In fact, the reason we took Kade and Ryne with us is because we were afraid they would plan a complete and total revolt if we didn't let them go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I'm not kidding, these boys think Jacob and Jordan hung the moon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We certainly enjoyed getting to celebrate with Jacob and Jordan. Such a beautiful day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And Jordan was absolutely gorgeous...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I have to admit that is was kind of a bittersweet day for us. Jacob and Jordan were heading off to Alaska to work for the summer. Jacob did it last year and we missed him like crazy and this time he would be taking Jordan with him. Big sad faces for us. But how super exciting for them! And they left not knowing exactly what they would be doing when their summer jobs in Alaska were over. Of course, I am praying and believing that they will come back to us but at the same time asking God to direct their steps in such a way that their lives together brings glory to Him. Well, just last night I found out that God is sending them to New Zealand for their next life adventure together! Talk about mixed emotions. We aren't getting them back. Yet, anyway. Bummer. But they are getting to go to New Zealand! Awesome! We will get to hug their necks and wish them well before they leave. Yay for us! </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are starting to get used to people that we love moving away from us. Don't think we will ever learn to like it but we are learning how to cope.</div>

Here are couple of other great buddies that we had to say goodbye to this summer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kade and Ryne have been going to preschool with Nicole and Maddie for quite a while and they are great friends. They had even started going to church with us and we just adored their family. They also have a super cute baby brother named Brandon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had them over for a play-date before our trip to Arkansas so that we could spend some time with them since they would be gone when we got back. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Made them all smile for pictures so that it was a happy day and not a sad day...</div>

Baby sweet potatoes! Only this time he learned he could slurp them up through a straw and have them like a milkshake! Silly boy! And he is still slurping up baby sweet potatoes through a straw to this very day. Oh the things one can learn to do when in Arkansas!<br />
Just wait til you see what else we did in Arkansas. The month of June will most likely require multiple posts. Make sure you buckle up....it was quite a ride! <br />
So, til I make it back for June's rewind blog.....</div>

I guess it is okay that I was out of blogging mode in April because it was quite a busy month. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is our walk down memory lane 2012 April style....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Big Boys Kade and Ryne continued in their goofy ways.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tyce and Tesa kept us busy chasing them around as they were in full on crawling fast mode...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Most of the time I felt like all I saw of them was their rear ends as they were speeding off to new adventure in baby world.<br />
They had a hat adventure....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As soon as the weather starts to get nice around here it is time to get outside and let the boys play.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Even if that does mean they spend most of their park time digging in the dirt. It is just so nice to get out of the house after a long rainy season.<br />
<br />
Got an Easter package from Granna and Paw in the mail....<br />

It was a fun day.<br />
<br />
Then came some more fun! My parents offered to keep the kiddos while Kyle and I went to Little Rock to attend Arkansas Youth Conference. AYC is a big meeting that happens every spring and when we lived in Arkansas Kyle allows helped out with making it happen. AYC is a big supporter of mission work and each year they choose a mission point to raise money for. This year they chose us! Wow! What a huge honor and giant blessing! That meant that Kyle and I got to go to the conference. And since we were kid free we really tried to live it up.<br />
So we visited a place that we never took the opportunity to see when we lived there....<br />

Clinton's Presidential Library.<br />
It was cool. And it was hosting a cool collection of St. Louis Cardinal memorabilia.<br />

I have to admit that we felt a little guilty being there without Kade because he is a big Cardinals fan. He changed teams when the Cardinals won the World Series because he says that he always wants to cheer for winners. Ha! I'm curious to see if he changes again this year after the World Series????<br />

Have to show you this really cool missions area that they set up highlighting our church planting network. We got to hang out there and meet people and answer questions that they might have about our mission work in WA. Lots of people signed up to pray for all the different pastors working to plant churches up here with us. It was amazing!<br />

See how cool everybody looked?<br />

There is a reason for everyone looking so cool<br />

We were celebrating Paw's 50th year in the ministry!!!<br />
Isn't that awesome? Now that is something worth celebrating!<br />
And I wish that I had all of the cool pics from that celebration to share with you. But they are all on a flash drive that is not in my possession. Maybe I'll remember to get Kyle to tell me where that is and I can do another post dedicated just to that celebration. It is certainly deserving of its own post. And had I been on the blogging ball back in April, it definitely would have had its own post.<br />
<br />
After the celebration we got to hang out with Granna and Paw for a bit.<br />
We did the park there, too....<br />

Happened to capture my new favorite pic while at the park... </div>

I know Tesa and Tyce will be so happy when the park means more than hanging out in the stroller watching everyone else play.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But they are awfully cute in their stroller.<br />

And not near as sweaty and dirty as their big brothers.<br />

Ryne always has to stop for a drink...and really likes to have a snack to go with it.<br />
<br />
Mrs. Laura came over to meet Tesa and Tyce...<br />

and with their dad. I think they certainly cannot deny that they are related. One of the reasons I love that is because I think our kids are going to be the same way....look so much alike that there is no way they can deny each other.<br />

Kade got to share his comic books that he had with Aunt Kim and Brandon. Yep, making comic books became one of his favorite past times. He would illustrate the entire thing and then come back and dictate the words that went with each picture for me to write down. He's pretty creative.<br />
<br />
While we were there the babies and I got to make a quick trip up the hill to Fayetteville to see some of our favorite people...<br />

Billye and Frances! Or Aunt Bib and MawMaw Frances as our crew calls them.<br />

And it would seem that Tyce had some nice conversations with Uncle B.<br />
<br />
We tried hard to get a picture of all the kiddos with Granna and Paw....<br />

Seriously, I probably have thirty of these on my camera<br />

But there was always somebody with a crazy look on their face or not looking at all.<br />
Such is life with six wee tots...okay so Brandon isn't so wee anymore but the other five still struggle to pose when the camera comes out.<br />

Having cousins is fun!<br />
Then you have to leave and start missing them all over again.<br />
<br />
On our way back to the airport we got to meet up with some old friends...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kyS-w6wxxuI/UCbroMRX13I/AAAAAAAAhZU/2ng15MLxUWU/s1600/DSC07479.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kyS-w6wxxuI/UCbroMRX13I/AAAAAAAAhZU/2ng15MLxUWU/s400/DSC07479.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Quite a few of our friends had never met the babies...okay...any of our friends outside of WA hadn't met them because this was their very first trip out of WA. So we planned to have a giant lunch date with anyone who could meet us before we hopped on the plane headed back home. It was great! Here are Ashley, Carly and Carson with the twins. Cannot even begin to explain how much I miss this crew. So since I can't explain it I will move on...<br />

Oh, dear and a whole bunch of other people not even sure I can remember everyone now...Granny Di, Papa Keith, Ronda, Todd, Cameron, Nathan, Ben, Katie, Karen, Keith, Gordon and I am certain that I'm forgetting people. So nice to have friends who don't forget you when God moves you clear across the country. We are blessed.<br />
When I looked back at this picture I almost cried...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KNnV3CiUz_M/UCbrvKjWP4I/AAAAAAAAmhU/nPWyx5MpQck/s1600/DSC07483.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KNnV3CiUz_M/UCbrvKjWP4I/AAAAAAAAmhU/nPWyx5MpQck/s400/DSC07483.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
Kade and Carson were supposed to be friends for life. Carson's mom, Ashley, and I dreamed of raising our kiddos where we would have play dates and sleepovers and they would be like brothers and sisters. These boys have only seen each other probably three times since we moved and look at that! When we left they hugged and looked at each other and said, "I really miss you. I really miss you, too." I'm believing they will be friends for life....even if it is long distance.<br />
Oh, hurry up and move on to the airplane pictures before I start to cry all over again about how much I miss people...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

There we are. On the plane. We did an overnight flight on the trip in so we didn't take any pictures of Tesa and Tyce's first plane ride....we were really just wanting to keep them asleep.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l1w_SQqw0Dg/UCbr1AMAhCI/AAAAAAAAmhY/7lWh7sWUVxc/s1600/DSC07488.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-l1w_SQqw0Dg/UCbr1AMAhCI/AAAAAAAAmhY/7lWh7sWUVxc/s400/DSC07488.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
So we tried to make up for it on this trip back and snapped a few pics.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HZaTH2Lp82Y/UCbr4-AKhUI/AAAAAAAAmhk/xLaK-KRb75c/s1600/DSC07493.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HZaTH2Lp82Y/UCbr4-AKhUI/AAAAAAAAmhk/xLaK-KRb75c/s400/DSC07493.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
Kade was loving this trip because he had a window seat and really enjoyed the views below...<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xmAKKwCpomI/UCbr-yrWdcI/AAAAAAAAhbs/9p6eXLwbUEw/s1600/DSC07498.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xmAKKwCpomI/UCbr-yrWdcI/AAAAAAAAhbs/9p6eXLwbUEw/s400/DSC07498.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
In fact he kept asking me to take pictures over and over so I finally just gave him the camera.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tz-oeHcgE0I/UCbs7pJVgSI/AAAAAAAAhh4/Q2fF1xiyKD8/s1600/DSC07547.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-tz-oeHcgE0I/UCbs7pJVgSI/AAAAAAAAhh4/Q2fF1xiyKD8/s400/DSC07547.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
And here are Kade and Ryne patiently...or maybe not so patiently, I can't remember now, waiting for our last plane to take us home to WA.<br />
It was a great trip! Lots of memories!<br />
<br />
When we got back to WA we got a new Kade...<br />

While we were gone the babies turned 9 months old so we tried to have a quick catch up photo shoot....<br />

Those nine month old babies were cute, even if they were in their night-nights for the photo shoot.<br />
<br />
Wow, April was busy...and it's not over yet.<br />
There was a birthday party at the Little Gym for Nicole....<br />

Spending the night in the ER with a broken arm. Yep, our first broken bone. Kade fell off of the monkey bars playing on the playground after church and broke his arm. No fun! He is no longer a fan of the monkey bars.<br />
<br />
Tesa discovered she was a fan of having the blinds up...<br />

She spent a lot of time standing up in the pack-n-play keeping an eye on the outside world. </div>

We made a new friend.<br />

This is Hayley! And she is super cool. She is in the Coast Guard and lives a few hours away from us. She had made plans with some friends to come over and stay the night before she had to be at a super early prayer breakfast near here. Only thing....those friends ended up not being in town when she was scheduled to come. Her friends are our friends and so they hooked us up with Hayley for the night. You can tell the boys took to her quickly. We hope to have her come back and hang out again sometime soon.<br />
<br />
In our spare time in April we just played...<br />

What was so mad about it? Well, I was looking back at my March photos folder and realized that I really didn't take many pictures. Pretty sure that is the month that I was mad at myself for not staying on top of this blog and so I just didn't take any pictures. Every click of the camera served as a reminder that I was a failure in the blog world and for every picture I didn't take it was one less picture I didn't feel guilty about not sharing for the joy of grandparents thousands of miles away. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Kade and Ryne made these cool little critters at school.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tesa and Tyce learned to love their excersaucers...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Which was really nice for me. A little more hands free time in my world!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a visitor...</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Woody was here!!<br />
We love when Woody visits...he is like a grandpaw to the kids and they have a ball with him.<br />
This was his first time to visit us as a family of six. Wonder how he liked our crazy world with two babies???<br />
I was afraid to ask him. But he did say when he left that he would come back. Maybe he meant in a few years when everybody can feed themselves and take themselves potty and tie their shoes. We'll see.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
Speaking of feeding...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
This was the month that Kade really decided to pitch in and help out a lot with the babies. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think they were finally big enough that he wasn't worried about hurting them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mIOXUFqYLf8/UByvVZZDRcI/AAAAAAAAR7E/SYD9HqLDKwg/s1600/DSC07305.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mIOXUFqYLf8/UByvVZZDRcI/AAAAAAAAR7E/SYD9HqLDKwg/s400/DSC07305.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And they really seemed to like it when he wanted to feed them. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it was a great big help to me! Yay for helpers!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
He continued to be infatuated with the babies and wanted to be with them and touching them at ALL times. Cannot even tell you how many times I said, "Ryne, leave the babies alone. Stop touching them. Be easy."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At least he loves them right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And how could they not love him back? With a wink and a grin like he can almost make you forget that he's supposed to be in trouble. Ha!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

They actually brought a crew out from AR for spring break to help our church plants in WA. They blessed us with anniversary night babysitting so Kyle and I could go out! Babysitters for four kiddos are a huge blessing to us. And the super exciting thing is....they moved here in June to be part of a new church plant in Olympia! Awesome! You'll see more of them later.</div>

Audrey...she and her family are part of what we like to call our "forever friends" because they are not military so they have no reason to ever have to move. We treasure that since we have so many awesome friends that we have to say good bye to every year. We treasure those friends, too! And thank God for the blessing that they are in our lives if only for a few short years. Just something about knowing there are some people that you will get to be around for years to come.</div>

Cutie pie Jane just wandered from one to the other keeping track of everyone.<br />I do happen to remember that I spent most of this night trying to get fussy babies to go to bed. But that was my world then...now they lay right down and go to sleep when it is bedtime. It's nice to think back to March and realize the progress we've made in six months. <br />
Can't wait to dive into April and see what memories await us there. Maybe I took a few more pictures then? Stay tuned....<br />
<br />
oh, here's a Kade skiing video from his second trip for your viewing pleasure<br />

At our house when something just really doesn't go as planned, as often as we can we "rewind" and have a do-over. Our rewind is complete with waving arms and silly sounds. So wave your arms with me and make some silly sounds.....7 whole months worth. Yep, we are going back in time to February 2012.</div>

Here is a quick look at the adventures we had during the shortest month of the year.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Had a little photo shoot with the boys since they had turned 5 and 3 and we needed new pics. And believe me, these two boys turned loose on a trail and trying to have them pose for pictures is a true adventure. Here's what we got... </div>

Couldn't resist taking this picture when he realized he was sitting just behind Coach Broyles. If you are a Razorback fan you will know who he is...if you're not just consider him Mr. Razorback and you've got a good picture of who Josh was sitting behind. Awesome!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Yep, that's who I got to spend an entire two days with and I treasured every minute of it.</div>

Before I got on the plane we stopped for lunch and I couldn't help but laugh when I looked up and noticed the wall behind Josh and Monk said "Hog Heaven" Say Cheese! I'm not sure Josh enjoyed me being home as much as I enjoyed being there. Ha! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It's true. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a party because everyone was so excited about the first day of school.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lots of Moms apparently find this first day of school to be a sad time and tears are shed. Not so here...I celebrated with him. I'm excited for his new adventure. I think he is ready. Plus, he has been going off to preschool every morning for a couple of years now so I think maybe you can understand why I wasn't an emotional basket case. However, I did get a little lump in my throat when I got to school to pick him up and saw he had a busted lip and skinned up chin and knee. My poor baby got hurt on his very first day at school. When I asked what happened he simple said, "Well, we were going to recess and I was excited and running when this guy cut across in front of me. I struggled to turn and keep from running over him (yes, he really did say struggled) and I couldn't stop so I tripped and crashed into the bike holding thing. I cried a little bit because it hurt but not for long. It was probably only like a minute because by the time I got to the nurse I was done crying. I tried to be tough. It is okay though because the nurse had special medicine for hurt lips." What a trooper! He was totally cool with it. So, I had to be as well. He said it was a really fun day! I'm so happy for him!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we had a three day weekend because of Labor Day. So to mark the end of summer with a special treat we decided to have a special outing. And since our big boys have become pretty good hikers this summer and the babies really enjoy being in their back packs, we headed to Mt. Rainier to try out a trail we hadn't hiked before.</div>

That bridge ahead crosses over a river that comes off of Mt. Rainier...the same river that runs just a few miles from our house into the Puget Sound. Pretty neat, huh?</div>

Tesa, on the other hand, was mostly just worried about having some more snack while everyone else looked at the water. Maybe one day she will appreciate nature a bit more than goldfish.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Tyce is already a nature lover. He kept wanting to reach out and touch the trees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tried to take a tree touching break for him every now and then. My hiking companion Ryne often needed to take a break himself to look at something or sing a song or discuss the hiking path we should take. He is fun to hike with...never a dull moment.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So a few times the leaders had to take a break to wait on us. And each time we caught up I could hear Ryne from the end of his puppy dog backpack leash ahead of me murmur a prayer, "Thank you God for letting them wait for us. Amen." I told you he is fun to hike with.</div>

And now that summer is over we are working on getting into the groove around here. Not that we won't still take advantage of the beautiful Pacific Northwest weather this time of year as we have the opportunity. But school's in session and with that must come routine. And as promised, with summer's end, I will work some blogging time into that routine. Family...are you ready to play catch up? I think for my next post I have to rewind to January! See ya back soon for a walk down Lewallen memory lane 2012.</div>

Somebody tell me this is not true! My calendar claims that it is August 3, 2012 already! WHAT?? Where did July go? I had all these plans for getting caught up on my 8 months of blogging before August arrived. Not only did I not get the blog caught up, I didn't even manage to get the laundry caught up. Sigh. But I guess that is okay because I have been on quite a few strolls and bike rides and trips to the park lately. Our Pacific Northwest summer with daylight lasting til WAY after bedtime has just been beckoning us to enjoy it. So we have. I have pictures to prove it. But, pictures from camera to computer...yep, something else I haven't caught up on yet. Guess you'll just have to trust me. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, while we are spending our time enjoying the summer and trying hard to convince our babies that sleeping all night is a great idea and that bottles are now a bad idea...here is a quick pic just to say Hi!<br />

Can't wait to get a chance to tell you what all we've been up to the past 8 months...I bet it doesn't take much of your imagination to know that part of it includes chasing kiddos around. Ha! But there is oh so much more. I know I keep saying that. But really, it's true! Just wait, you will find out. May not happen until the rain returns and the days get shorter but it WILL happen. I'm not giving up on me yet. </div>

And the biggest news is that we seem to have all survived. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Wish the same could be said for this blog....it is just barely hanging on by a thread.)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few more gray hairs and wrinkles. Maybe still a bit sleep deprived. But wouldn't give back one of those gray hairs or wrinkles or take one wink of sleep in exchange for either one of these precious blessings. </div>

All four of our children are a joy. They make us laugh every day. They frustrate the stew out of us lots of days. They keep us on our toes. They remind us just how patient our Holy Father is with us. They challenge our thought processes. They cause us to want to be better. They fill our hearts with more love than we ever thought possible.</div>

Wish I had time right now to tell you about all the things I've missed sharing this past year, but alas....it is now time to get breakfast ready and go from there. I hope to soon have time to revive this sleeping blog of ours and show you just what a great year we've had. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There are weddings, birthday parties, vacations, and fun galore to share with you. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For now I'll just say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TESA AND TYCE!!!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To the rest of you our there, don't give up on me....I will get back in the swing of things one of these days and when I do, you won't want to miss it. </div>
