How fast the time files

Many parents love to take this opportunity to look back on the past year and reflect on how much their kids have grown and developed in such a short amount of time... and we're no different. However, I have about a dozen things to do before the boys wake up from their current nap, so I'll have to be as concise as I can:

HOW THE $#@! ARE THEY ONE YEAR OLD ALREADY?

That oughta do it... on to the pics...

Zoo Trip

Grandma and Grandpa Clevenger picked up an annual membership for us to the Oregon Zoo for the boys' birthday. Those of you who've been in the Portland-Metro area as long as I remember it once being called the "Washington Park Zoo". (And yes, if anyone is wondering, we are now that family that totes their kids around in a Volvo station wagon with Oregon Zoo and OPB decals on the back. Sue me.) Patrick and Mason came along with us, and we managed to pack 3 kids, in 3 car seats, 2 adults, 2 strollers (one of which being a double-stroller) into our wagon. Gotta love those Swedes. Anyway, I only got a couple of shots of us looking at the sea lions, because apparently everything else was just too cool for me to take the time to get out my camera.

And Robyn didn't think 3 would fit back there! :-p Watching the Sea Lions Patrick holds Mason up to see the Sea Lions Logan and Zach watch the Sea Lions

Brandon Keppinger

Last week we went over to visit Brandon, son of Leo and Denise Keppinger (or "Keppinoza", for those of you who know them well). Fun times are ahead of us... say about 6 months from now when they're all walking and fighting with each other.

Zach, Brandon, Denise, and Indy Zach and Logan love Brandon's Exersaucer Brandon Keppinger Logan enjoys playing with Indy Zach likes playing with other peoples' toys... Denise holds Logan over Brandon Brandon likes being held up Logan and Brandon are good buddies... that's all...

Getting Into Trouble

What set of baby pictures would be complete without seeing the mischef they get into? Now that they can crawl about, they love exploring the world (or, at least the first 18 inches of it).

They love the CD player more than anything else Playing with the dog crates is also a common occurrance We're going to have to move the pots and pans... This is just after playing with the grate. They like running their hands along it to make noise. We call it "making music". We're not sleepy! We're not sleepy! What is it with electrical cords? ...and what is it with beer? (Ok, that's my fault... kids around beer will always be funny for me for some reason... Logan: mmmm... Novelty dog bone... It's all fun and games until it gets taken away. Then the big guns come out... Logan and Zach helping to unload the dishwasher (yes, that's a small dish in Logan's right hand...)
