Bubble bath

Ian takes a bubble bath- I think there's more bubles than water!

Know something you don't

Ian Spreads the good news...


Front


Back



We e-mailed these pictures to some family and friends.
For Grandma and Grandpa Hancock we met them for dinner and of course grandma read the front and said "Hmmm" to which Brad replied "well you have to read the back." The only sound that came out of Grandma's mouth was a squeal followed by "You have to read this!" directed to Grandpa. To this he said "I know what is says." I'm sure he guessed by the reaction of delight we got from Grandma!

2007 Christmas Eve at the Yurt

Dec. 23 to the 24th We went with the Hancock's up to Lilly Lake Yurt. It was close quarters but really fun to bond with the family in the snowy mountains. Half the fun was getting there- some snow shoed in and others snowmobiled.

'07 Halloween and the Pumpkin Patch

It was Ian's first time trick-or- treating. The first door we went to we was our own and dad gave me lots of candy. The second door we went to Ian took a candy from his bucket and put it in the bowl.
Watching the kids before we went out.

We left dad home to answer the door.


We met Aunt Steph and cousin Autum at the pumpkin patch.
Ian had lots of fun....

...sitting on the tractor... (not to mention the wheel barrow, and mini corn maze)


Great Grandpa Schouten was just up the road and stopped by to play in the hay.

2007 Spring Break San Francisco

In March 2007 We spent spring break in San Francisco. Our trip was filled with site seeing, everything from the temple to the beach, harbors, and Golden Gate Bridge. We enjoyed spending time with Brad's sister and her family!

Victoria Canada

In August we took a trip to Victoria Canada. We left Ian at Brad's sisters for about 5 days. It was fun to spend some alone time but hard to be away from our little boy. We did a lot of site seeing: light houses, a mansion, the bay, a ferry ride across the ocean, the famous Pike's Place Market in Seattle and our favorite- The Buchart Gardens. The Second Picture is of the sunken garden. It used to be an old rock quary. It was so beautiful! I never thought that I would spend $25/ person to walk through a garden and actually say it was worth every penny.

It wasn't long after Ian was walking that he started going down the twisty slide all by himself. The first time he went down all by himself he did it five times in a row. Luckily I was quick to get the camera but unfortunately it was dusk and the lighting wasn't the greatest.

Liberty Park

It's not often we get to spend a whole day with DAD. One Saturday we biked to Liberty Park. Ian and Brad sure enjoyed the time together.

Ian's 1st Birthday

Ian turned ONE on June 7th. We threw him a party and he Loved the CUPCAKE.

Ian at 9 months

Ian Loves his bath toy! Eating turtle head could be considered a delicacy.

Sorry it has been so long since we've updated you all on our happenings. Brad is still enjoying school and Ian is growing up sooooooo fast that I can hardly believe 9 months have pasted. Here is Ian demonstrating his latest accomplishment.... Standing! He thinks that he is so big!
