2009 in pictures

Taking a ride in the shopping cart





Not quite last in a 17:07 5k at Linfield


"Bad Spiderman, you're going in the corner!"

Running in the trails in Wilsonville

Picnic

18 weeks pregnant with Kiplin


Puddle jumping


22-weeks pregnant with Kiplin
Water balloon toss, yes dad had to fill up an entire laundry basket full!
While living in Wilsonville, one of Ryker's favorite things to do was walk around the apartment complex looking for sprinklers to stomp on.


My graduation from MHCC

Talking to daddy on the phone
28 weeks pregnant with Kiplin
Father's day at a local farm with Mukunda, Emily and Payton
Trying to stay cool in the summer heat
If dad won't do it, I'll have to do it ...
Ready to go for a run with Dad
He put on his own shoes...
My little helper

Refusing to be part of a group picture at Grandma Loprinzi's house

Attacking "baby doll" with "the claw"

August 21st, the morning of Kiplin's birth
Moments after Kiplin's arrival

Our first picture as a family of 4

Under the bilirubin lights

So precious ...
I love baby smiles, even if they are gas related!

My little boys
Ryker holding Kiplin for the first time
Ryker said that "baby doll" wanted to be in his bouncy seat just like Kiplin


At my pinning ceremony for nursing school, Kiplin was 6 days old



Kiplin LOVES to hang out in a sling
Just 3-weeks old and able to elevate his head off the ground - such a strong little guy!


Giving us his "best smile"

Brotherly love
Ryker's attempt at giving Kiplin his binky
He LOVES puzzles.


I hate when dad lets Ryker shave his face





Just wearing dad's biking glasses


Brotherly love ...








Ryker and his camera - what an adventure


In addition to running, my regimen to get back my pre-pregnancy body - burn calories while nursing and giving Ryker a "horsey" ride : ).
Always a busy guy, we constantly come up with random games. Here he is frisbee jumping.


Woody!
The reason nap time never last very long...


Ryker turns 3!
"Hey look, I have more money than my parents"


My couch full of boys





Hanging out in the gym at OSU while Ryker and dad wear each other out

In deep concentration he sticks his tongue out.
Feeding Kiplin for the first time, what a good big brother
Being bossy...
Such a good thing he loves to hang out in the sling, it is the only way we can keep up with Ryker : ).



"Hey Kiplin, wanna open some presents with me."

Yes, I take pictures of my baby crying - how can I resist the pouty face.
Ryker sure loves his puzzles, and that deep concentration forces his tongue out yet again.
Ryker playing his favorite board game, Sequence. Thanks Nana!
He put his own pants on.
Giving their best smiles, wearing matching shirts (thanks aunt Jen!). Ryker now does this "cheeseball" smile when he is asked to smile in a picture.
Ryker helping mom put away the toilet paper

He likes to wear "baby doll" in a sling just like mom and Kiplin.

Christmas jammies
Giggly guys.
