Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas! Andrew and Olivia particularly enjoyed the tissue paper and ribbon.

Trick or Treat?

Andrew went as the king of the jungle and Olivia went as ... well, lunch.

We had fun visiting friends and showing off the kids. They were good sports for a while, but as the night wore on, their patience started to wear thin.

So Tara and I decided to try a new tactic. Trick or treat? Give us something good to eat ...
or we'll leave two cranky 10 month olds with you for the evening.

You'd be amazed how much candy we got after we started using that line.

And after a hard evening of trick or treating, some of us were all tuckered out.

Harvest Time

Here is a picture from our trip to Greenbluff at harvest time. M0m had been out there once before during the week and was excited to bring the kids and Dad to get some pumpkins and apple dumplings. Little did we know that Greenbluff on the weekend during harvest is THE place to be. Half of Spokane converged on Greenbluff that weekend. Good pumpkins were scarce by the time we arrived and the real travesty was that the apple dumplings were sold out!

Anyway, we were still able to spend a beautiful afternoon together and get this nice picture in the pumpkin patch.

Sour pickles

Olivia's first sour pickle. I'm not sure, but I think she likes it.

It must run in the family.

Cruising in the new bike trailer

Today we went out for a nice Sunday cruise in the new bike trailer. Olivia gets bored because Dad goes too slow, but everyone enjoys getting outside before it gets too cold.

Sometimes we go out in the stroller instead.

All geared up for the big game!

Andrew and Olivia all geared up for thier first WSU football game.

They were almost as excided as Dad was. Go Cougs!

The kids both did great!

Dad on the other hand was crying by half time,

with the Cougs losing to the Oregon Ducks 63-14.

Play nice together

For the first few months they pretty much ignored each other, but now they are paying more attention. But then, its hard to ignore when sister socks you in the face or brother tries to bite you with his two new teeth.

Baby Arm Wrestling

It's the latest sport on ESPN at 2am -- baby arm wrestling.

Go Cougs!

Andrew showing his Cougar pride!

Cutie

The outfit says it all.
