Wedding Anniversary

Happy Anniversary Erik. I Love You!!!

Growing, growing, growing

Karen and I can hardly believe how fast Trevor is growing. He seems to develop new skills everyday. He can now lift himself up anywhere and loves to see what his Mom and Dad are doing at the table. One of Trevor's favorite activities is pulling all of the tupperware out of the drawer and playing with it. He is such a curious and fun little guy.

Trevor's New Digs

Trevor recently found a new place to hang out. The following are what we believe his thoughts were as he explored his new hideout.


This spot isn't too bad...Much more accessible than my crib. A couple of doors for privacy, hardwood floors, and a years supply of wipes...Can't ask for much more.



I just found out my roommates are a bit stiff and cold. From what I hear one of my roommates can really "grind" on peoples nerves (and food). Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all.



Ha! I pulled a fast one on all of you! You thought I was going to stay here. No way, jokes on you.

Digging, shoveling, raking, planting, watering, playing, dirt, and more dirt and lots of helpers!!!

The last two weekends have been a whirlwind of activity in our backyard. We were the beneficiaries of some wonderful help two weekends ago as we moved (Wade- thanks for the Bobcat help!), shoveled and raked out 25 cubic yards of topsoil in our front and backyard. We want to thank all of those who helped including: Mom & Dad (Vach), Kirsten, Pat, Wade, Spencer, Kaleb, and Corey and his kids. We were able to get the backyard seeded and most of the front prepped for seed. This past weekend Karen and I were able to plant 25 of the 44 "Emerald" 5' trees along the street side of our property. We plan on planting the rest of the "Emeralds" this week along with seeding the front yard. We have put in many hours of hard work to get to this point and it is fun to look at the results. Anyone wanting to see the results are more than welcome to stop by!

The quote on Trevor's shirt is an understatement. Karen is a wonderful mother to Trevor and her love for him is evident everyday by the way she teaches, loves, serves, sacrifices, plays, reads, and cares for our little man. Trevor and his daddy sure are lucky to be around such a special mother and companion. We love you Karen aka Mommy!

Trevor said: "I must be in heaven man!"

Trevor thought he had died and gone to heaven when he saw all the dirt piled in the driveway. Unfortunately for Trevor his dream only lasted about a day and a half because the Bobcat quickly gobbled it up. Trevor is now asking: "What is next; bark?"
