BABY E

Star in Your Own JibJab! It's Free!Krista and Baby E made it through their first trimester together. My brother and I are SO VERY excited about this momentous occasion that we thought we would share this very special dance to express our joy!

Let the games BEGIN!

The fantasy football draft was this past Sunday and the boys were glued to the computer! They had so much fun talking "smack" and choosing their players. Josh and Kristin came to stay the weekend with us, so Kris and I were able to get some shopping time in while the draft was going on! We loaded the boys up with snacks and took off! Fun times...

Baby Love

I just thought I would share this wonderful picture of my beautiful wife and Mom-to-be!

Angel's Game

This past weekend we went to the Angels vs. Twins game with our friends Josh and Kristin. The Twins were winning until the 8th inning and then the Angels won. Josh is a huge Angels fan and Jamie a Twins fan, so it was fun to see them root against each other. Josh had his "Rally Monkey" ready at all times!

Kristin is also pregnant and due in February. We have a lot of fun sharing and comparing stories and just hanging out. We are so excited to be pregnant at the same time. It makes things a lot of fun.

Here's a picture of Josh with his rally monkey. Jamie (of course) wore his Minnesota jersey.

Our BIG News!

We are very happy to announce that Krista is 8 weeks pregnant! We went to see the doctor today and got this wonderful photo of our very active (with a strong heart) unborn baby! The doctor said the baby looks like it is already getting ready for the Olympics. We are so very thrilled and thankful for this chance to raise a child and have a family. We look forward to welcoming our "little one" into the world on March 16, 2008. Please continue to pray for our family. Many more posts and pics to follow...!

Tyler and Jason

Jessica brought Tyler and Jason to visit this past week. Tyler was one of the ringbearers in our wedding. They lived in Riverside when Tyler was born and I used to babysit him often. A few years ago they moved to Washington. =(

Tyler is now 5 1/2 and starts kindergarten this year! Jason is 3 years old and starts preschool this year! I can't believe how fast time flies!

Here's a picture of our "silly faces!"

WE'LL MISS YOU LOI!!!

Here are some pictures of us with Loi at the Block of Orange. Loi is leaving to go to East Asia for a year! We are going to miss her!

We love you Loi!

WE'RE PROUD OF YOU MARK!!

Mark passed his exam!!

Way to go Mark! We're proud of you!

I love my MEMA!!!

Here's a picture of my Mema! She lives in Henderson, but visits often. I love her very much!

4th of July

Here's a picture of Ryan and Jessica. They celebrated their 4th of July in Florida. We miss you Ryan and Jessica! (Jenn and Craig too!)

In a time long, long ago...

...a future policeman, scientist, missionary and sergeant posed for this ridiculous picture!

A much loved puppy dog

Here are a couple pics of our dog Jerry Lee who lived with us in Africa. He looks like a very furry version of Izzy! Mom and Dad took him everywhere. You can see him ready to go places with Mark and Jared in the back seat of a small jeep.

Pumping Up!

As many of you know my brother Micah is working towards being one of Arnold's crew! He is obviously very thrilled about this new endeavor, has been training hard and is ready to kick some booty!

Aquarium of the Pacific

We went to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach last week while Mark was here. Josh, Kristin, and Dave came too. It was a lot of fun. We were able to pet the stingrays and fish. Afterwards we went to dinner at Yard House.

Just the boys!

Dave and Jamie enjoyed making faces at the fish!

Stingrays

Sharks

Chuck E. Cheese

I took Ryan and Jessica to Chuck E. Cheese on Thursday. They both earned over 200 tickets! After playing, we went to Red Robin for dinner. Fun times! I'm going to miss them, but I know they have so much to look forward to in Florida.

Only one more week...they drive away June 11th!

Dinner Theatre

We went to a dinner theater in Anaheim for my mom's birthday last weekend. (We went early since my sister and her family are here.) It was a mystery play and we had to figure out who the murderer was. It was a lot of fun, and very interesting! Craig solved the mystery!

In the car, waiting for the doors to open...

Uncle Jamie and Auntie Krista

We love our niece and nephew!

Ryan

My sister and her family are here to visit for the next three weeks before they move to Florida. Here's a picture of "Uncle Jamie" (being silly of course), Ryan and I. Ryan and Jamie were playing guitar hero together. Ryan thinks Uncle Jamie is COOL!! =)

More of Izzy...

Izzy carries her little "blankie" around with her. She won't stop chewing off little pieces, so there isn't going to be much blankie left when she's done with it.

Jamie was painting our fence outside and Izzy was SO sad she couldn't be by his side. She just laid and stared at him thru the fence. I finally let her out because she looked so sad. Then, she just sat at the side of the block wall with her head resting in the dirt and waited for Jamie to come down. She LOVES her daddy!

Grandpa and Izzy

Grandpa came to visit Izzy today. We were talking about how big she is getting. Definitely not a little puppy anymore! We were comparing pictures of how little she was when we first got her...look how much she's grown! She is VERY playful now!
