Jack is 4!!

Today... Jack turns 4.  I can't believe my baby is 4.  

Here are some of my favorite shots over the years.

Jack is our goof-ball.  He can always make us smile.. and he's shown in his 4 short years how much of a survivor he is.

The classic "jack in the box".  He thinks it is hilarious.  

He broke his leg when he was 14 months.  

And of course we all remember when he fell out of our second story window and ended up at OHSU for 5 days.

If that doesn't make you smile.... nothing will.

Happy Birthday Jack!!

TaeKwonDo Belt Test

Yesterday was our family's TaeKwonDo belt test.  

Unfortunately our camera ran out of batteries so I didn't get everything.

Oscar and Calvin are the furthest along of the 5 of us.  

They've been taking lessons for almost 3 years.

Jack, Darren and I have only been at this about 6 months.  

Here was part of Oscar and Calvin's belt test.

We all had to break "boards" - even Jack - (which are plastic re-usable boards) Oscar and Calvin had to break 3.

This is Oscar's "board breaking".

And Calvin's "board breaking".

It was a fun night!

Calvin is 6!

 Today Calvin turns 6.  

SIX.  I can't believe it.  It seems like only yesterday he was so tiny.  

Here are some of my favorite pictures over the years of sweet little Calvin.  

Happy Birthday!

Baby Calvin

Baby Calvin w/ big brother Oscar.

Here is Darren and our niece Marley with Calvin.  He was 1 day old.

Are you kidding me?  We still can't resist squeezing his little face!

We love this picture still.  It so clearly shows both his and Oscars personality.

Brothers... 

His first haircut & his most recent one.  

For this 6th birthday we hosted a Lego Star Wars party for 15 of his Kindergarten friends.

Complete with a Darth Vader head pinata.

We had a bunch of games planned but our tree turned out to be the only "toy" we needed.

Happy Birthday to you!

Day in San Francisco

We visited San Francisco for the day.

It was such a blast.   The kids had never been.  Here are our pics:
