Thurston, the Chatty Sweetheart

Thurston, the sweet gentle screamer.  He is always there with a big hug, and a long story to share, and he loooves the color red.
This boy loves snow, and is super excited to start snowboarding this year.
                                                     Here he is painting his flower pot.
 He graduated Kindergarten this year, and received an award for perfect attendance.  Who knew.  Good thing they didn't factor in tardis. ;)
 We went to Southern California this summer.  Here he is posing away on the Balboa Pier.
 He found a new love of swimming when he passed his swim lessons.
                     He loves school, and had really caught onto reading like a champ.
 This picture captures Thurston so well.  I can hear him telling a story as I look at it.
                                     And here is the other side, the quiet, snuggly sweet Thurston.

Aleah, The Bedheaded Pajama Monster

This little girl has had a big year of growing... She's a blast and keeps us going and going and going.
She is always willing to clean up after everyone:
 For her second birthday, we had a Princess Tea Party.  Here she is with her Prince, Prince Elliott.
                                        With her brothers at Easter dying eggs.
                                      Here she is at Thurston's Graduation
 Our dear friend Kim did a photo shoot for Aleah's second birthday.  Here is one of the many many great pics.
                                        This is what we think about potty training.
   Aleah loves her time at the library at her Music and Movement class.  She does it in style.
 She's a big 'helper' and her favorite this year was to help with watering all the flowers.
    She was so cold when we had our family pictures taken.  I love this shot, because you can see her saying 'burrrrr'.
 I, personally, think that she is the most beautiful girl, ever.  I love having these days just us hanging around.  She is very spirited, and very sweet.  What would we all do without our Eeaaah cake?
