Lukas and the Giant Clippers....

After a year on the run, Lukas knew the time had come to turn himself in....and get a haircut....

not too many people know this...but Carla is a hair dresser.....um...I don't think she even knew it... ;-)

It may look like Lukas is crying after seeing his hair fall to the floor, but he's actually laughing...

Mommy did a great job for her first haircut....ever.....Lukas is indicating that mommy is #1 when it comes to haircuts!

Ryan's Birthday

We celebrated Ryan's birthday as well as Lynn's since they were 1 day apart. Carla made this awesome Clown Fish cake since we all love Hawaii....it was great! Yumm....

Leiya and Lukas got Daddy a really big card!

Thanks to Kevin from church, after the party we all went to watch a Hockey game in a Suite...it was a lot of fun....although the Referee's didn't do our team any favors...Thanks again Kevin!

Disneyland for Daddy's Birthday!

Carla took me to Disneyland for my birthday. We had a lot of fun and loved going....oh ya, the kids had fun too... Mitch, April, Kaelyn and Andrew went also and we all had a lot of fun!

Leiya loved this little monkey. Unfortunately, 10 minutes after this photo was taken, her monkey was kidnapped and was never heard from again. If anyone has information as to the whereabouts of this monkey, let us know.... sorry, no reward is currently being offered.....

As if standing up all by himself was hard enough, Lukas pushed the envelope and is able to stand up while being attacked by a vicious stuffed Monkey around his neck!

Disneyland for Daddy's birthday!

The Matterhorn was the very first roller coaster daddy ever went on. Now the tradition continues. Leiya, at 3 years old rode the Matterhorn. She even yelled "Boo!" at the Yeti inside the ride. Good thing Leiya yelled at the Yeti.....it kept her from seeing how scared daddy was.....mommy rode it as well and was in front. She got to see how wide eyed Leiya was during the ride.....it was a lot of fun!
