4 years old

Wow, Carter is 4 years old today. Carter can light up a room with his smile and his laugh is contagious. Carter has said some very funny things and continues to suprize us. Carter is a super smart little boy, loves to do anything that gets him dirty or sport related. He loves to wrestle with his dad and loves to cuddle up to read a book. We love you Carter!

10 Years!

May 20, 2000-2010

Well ladies and gentlemen Will and I have been married for 10 years. Holy cow, to say it out loud is kind of cool. I have to tell you though, it does not feel like it. When you are with your best friend you don't think about the time. These 10 years have been great. We have been through Undergrad, Med school and now Residency. We have 3 beautiful kids and have had each one in a different state. Will is such a wonderful husband and father. He loves to play with the kids and helps out where ever he is needed. I am so excited for the future and to spend it with Will. We have many more adventures ahead of us and probably a few more states to live in. I love you so much Will and I am proud to say that you are my husband and I am your wife.

THERE ARE SO MANY PICTURES THAT THERE IS ONE MORE POST THAT IS NOT ON THE MAIN PAGE. CLICK ON OLDER POSTS TO SEE OUR LAST FEW DAYS THERE.

Washington

WARNING- In the next few posts there are lots of pictures. I could not help my self, sorry.
It took us a while to get back to Washington but we finally made it. On the first try our plane was canceled after we had been waiting for 3 hours. Not fun with kids. When we got in to Portland it was about 2:00am our time and so we were all tired. Addy and Carter did great on the plane, they mostly slept, Boston on the other hand was not so good. I am so glad that Will was there, we took turns with the sleep deprived, wanting to walk around toddler.
Our first day there Jesse, Will's brother came in and we spent the day with Grandpa Cobell. All of Will siblings were there except his brother Jared and Denise. We celebrated my birthday and Carter's and then we went to a wildlife preserve and saw lots of birds and lots of frogs. The kids could have spent the whole day looking for those frogs. Grandpa Buzzy had a great big ball and Boston loved to sit on it and bounce. It was really good to see family again.

Children's Museum

The Portland Children's Museum was fun. There was so much for them to see.

Bowling

One day we went to the bowling ally and bowled a game and played in the arcades. Addy and Carter were pretty good bowlers. This was one of the few times that we got to see Will make gutter balls. Boston loved to try and pick up the balls. All the kids loved the little arcades games. The got enough tickets so that each of them could get a little toy.

OMSI

The OMSI in Portland was fun. There was so much there for the kids to see and do. Will, Addy, Carter and I went in a submarine and while we were there Suzy and Boston played in the kid area. Boston played with these balls and an air tunnel the whole time we were gone.

The pictures of my face and Will's face is what they will look like when we are 65. Lots of wrinkles.
