Time with Dan and Jody

We were so happy to have Uncle Dan and Auntie Jody come up and visit us this weekend. We had such a wonderful time with them. The kids can't get enough of their Auntie and Uncle!


G is soooo excited about having a new baby cousin...and a GIRL at that! We love adding to the family! When Auntie Jody came out in the morning Gianna asked: "Can the baby come out now?" (as if Jody has control over it!) Jody is so cute pregnant...her bump is just perfect and she looks adorable.

Taking a walk along the bluffs at Dungeness Spit. It was warm (for WA) and sunny. We could see across the water to Canada.

Wish you could see her cute bump!

Playing Picnic and "doggies"

These two play so well together-I couldn't be happier. and happy doesn't even describe what I feel when listen and watch them play together. They love to set up "picnics" and play doggies.

heavenly...

Our Swimming Princess

The fascination of the swimming goggles has rubbed off on Gianna. If you remember in our Halloween pictures Dominic had a pair of green ones that he wore constantly!

So this is what 12 year old boys do for fun...

So you may wonder what 12 year old boys do for fun when they are together...now you know! They get into the closet of a 6 year old boy and fit into as many clothes of his as they can!

Amazing that Dominic's clothes fit them this well! Yes that is underwear on Payt's face! Vinny and I kept hearing snickering in the hallway and then they busted out with these outfits on!

It's My Lucky Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day from these 2 little leprechauns!

While I was making lunch today I listened to them playing in Dom's room, setting up an "R.V." on his bed and getting ready to drive! They made all kinds of plans about what to bring in the RV. These are good days for me! Then, when I said I wanted to take a picture of them in their green shirts Gianna jumped close to Dom, grabbed him around the neck, and they both said, "cheese!" with such enthusiasm! These two kiddos make me feel like the luckiest mom in the world!

Capital Senators Dinner Auction

Happy Birthday Marissa! Brian's select high school baseball team held an auction/dinner/poker tourney...and of course us girls had to bust out the dance moves! Vinny and I bought 2 plane tickets for a great deal...and it was still a great deal even after I OUTBID MYSELF! Seriously, someone needs to monitor me!

Such a fun time together

Vinny had a great night with his buddies in Oly

and then the night ended with some wrestling, hugging, squashing...

Poor Jenni kept ending up in the middle of it all!
