I think I'm caught up now...

We love to go outside! Julius decided he needed to play with the pine straw...and did not want to leave it!

Playing with our new game, Elefun, for Family Home Evening!

I was in the middle of dusting that shelf...

Watching the NCAA Nat'l Championship game and eating popcorn for the first time! Popcorn is now a favorite snack!

Snuggling with Daddy before bed :)

We love the rock playground!

Daddy makes a good horsey :)

Just some pics...part 2 of who knows how many, I'm so far behind!

Still in Seattle :) Nick is finally seeing the Space Needle! This was the 4th time for Julius and I!

Seattle Children's Museum grocery store...Julius is trying to empty the cart that someone else filled up :)

Just a little shopping to do...

On a very chilly morning we decided to do a little hiking.

So cold that we found pleasure in dropping rocks on the ice covered puddles!

Katie, the kids and I decided we would let these two venture on while we turned back to go get warmed up in the car...

they caught up to us after we decided to take a little break :)

So...I'm catching up...just wishing that Blogger had an easier way of uploading pictures!!!

Just some pics...part 1 of who knows how many, I'm so far behind!

Julius loves playing with the dogs...whether it's dressing them up or just rolling around the floor :)

Time for a serious haircut! He's just here for the candy!

Looking grown up!

Scenic Beach with Aunt Katie, Uncle Brian and Galina!

Very cold, very windy, and no beach...but a beautiful view of the Olympics!

Waiting for some Sonic!

Wacky hair day at the Seattle Children's Museum :)

Enjoying all of the random little Happy Meal toys we have collected :)

Our favorite sport is...

BASKETBALL!!

Daddy's first game was way past my bedtime!

Get the ball Daddy!

Lost interest pretty fast...

Daddy's team won!!

Walking around at the outdoor basketball court...which is right outside our backdoor!

Getting the ball for Daddy...

Picking up some tips from Daddy :)

Julius loves to throw any kind of ball which I'm thinking is a good sign that there are some sports in his future :)

Happy Birthday to Mommy

Woke up on Mommy's birthday to a light dusting of snow...sort of like powdered sugar :)

Julius wishing Mommy a Happy Birthday :)

STUFFED CRUST!! MOMMY'S FAVORITE!!

Daddy and Mommy shared the cake decorating responsibility :)

Looking up to his Daddy!

A present from Nana and Papa...now if only his feet would reach the floor :)

January 11, 6pm, snow started falling, yay!

About 11pm...

8am, January 12!

Where are you feet buddy?

Mommy built a Julius-sized snowman!

Leg Exercises

Julius has found several ways for working out his leg muscles, hope it will inspire you! :)

1. Dancing

(Who doesn't dance to the Charlie Brown music!?)

2. Jumping in the crib...probably not a good habit to start :)

3. Spinning around while trying to wrestle the pvc pipe from Browni

4. Walking!!!

(This video is one of his first attempts!)

It's Cold Outside!

Took Julius outside to play, Nick brought out his remote control car (from his childhood)...he was so excited it still worked!

Lots of frost in the shady spots!

We took the dogs on a walk at Clear Creek Park...we had cold fingers and noses by the end!

Browni loves to play fetch! We don't trust Sanford off his leash...poor guy!
