Yesterday Kollan took the day off and we had a lot of fun. It was a beautiful day and we played outside, shopped, and went to FREE bowling day at the bowling alley on base! The boys loved it, and did I mention it was FREE? You really can't beat that. So looking at these pictures, you can see that Ty is really into balls- grabbing them, pushing them, watching them crash into the pins. Karter (although he loves bowling) is dramatic and plays up to the camera.
What a great weekend! Grandma Bell came and we had a blast going to see Monsters Vs. Aliens and also going to the Shrine Circus. We loved all of the different acts (including tigers, poodles, jugglers, acrobats, and motorcycles). Ty especially loved the elephants and mimicked their sound. Karter told me that the girls that climbed up the rope and did the tricks were, "Fantastic!" Karter was especially spoiled since Grandma was there because she bought the ticket for him to ride on an elephant (wow- I've never had that opportunity!) She also bought tickets for Karter and Ty to ride the ponies (which Ty didn't really love) and Karter got to go down a giant slide. We loved the circus and we loved spending time with Grandma. And I had such a great mother's day and feel so lucky to have a great husband, kids, and also a great mom and mom-in-law.
We were married August 23rd 2002 and are enjoying life with our 3 amazing children. We've lived in Idaho, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and now we're back in Oregon again, where Kollan's enjoying his job as an Optometrist, and part buisiness owner.
