Ultimite Badass!
This Dude is a Badass…….Enough Said!
This one is for you Bro!
Are we in Alaska?
Ok so I know I am living in Tigard, Oregon, but this year you might think differently.
I will just let my pictures paint the picture, and yes these were taken yesterday in my front yard in Tigard, Oregon.
I think the words….Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow….are getting a little old!

Rachael visits Santa
So we took Rachael to sit on Santas lap, and she didn’t even cry!
I wonder what she told Santa she wants for Christmas?
Hopefully one of the many presents under the tree will be the winner!
Enjoy the picture, I bet we won’t be so lucky next year!
Christmas with the Laurences’
Rachaels’ first Christmas is just 3 days away!
We have already had so many pictures of her!
Grandma Davis got Rachael the most beautiful dress to wear (Thank you Grandma)!
We couldn’t wait until Christmas to put it on, so we put it on early & took pictures. Isn’t she a princess?
We also got our first snow of the winter season and boy was it a lot!
I think we got about 2 feet of snow, more than we have ever seen!
Rachael didn’t quite know what to make of all the white stuff out her window, she just kind of stared in amazement, and so did Mommy & Daddy!
So we get to tell Rachael that her first Christmas was a white one, pretty lucky girl!
Rachaels’ Baptism
Here is a picture for those of you who couldn’t be with us on this special day!
Rachael was baptised by pastor David Knapp & pastor Neeley in November.
This was a very special day and we thank everyone who was there to share in this with Rachael.
A very special thank you to Rachaels’ Godparents Mike and Kathy Haines for their support on this day and in the future. We look forward to teaching Rachael about Gods word and the true meaning of her baptism!
Football Day!
Can you tell what team we are fans of?
Daddy’s jersey may give you a clue?
Yes, it is the Miami Dolphins, who are having a very good 2008 season if I don’t say so myself!
Rachael has become quite the fan, and she even loves watching the games!
We spend every Sunday over at grandpas house watching the games, and I think Rachael will be a life long fan (not that she has much choice)!
Rachael has officially joined her Daddy & her two Grandpas’ as a Miami Dolphin fan!
Halloween 2008
Rachaels’ first Halloween!
She was the cutest monkey we have ever seen….even Grandma agreed!
Thanks Auntie K!
The only problem now is that she is becoming a real monkey, she never stops moving ( I think she gets that from mommy, what do you think?)!
Who doesn’t love “Smiles”?
Ok, this is the best part of being a parent so far!
First Ms. Rachael smiled when she slept, then at 6 weeks she smiled at Mommy, but only when she wanted to.
Now she laughs at Mommy & Daddy, and smiles all the time!
She even smiles and laughs at all of her crazy grandparents!
She is such a happy baby!
Enjoy the pictures of her beautiful smile!
It’s Bath Time!
Rachael loves bath time!
It’s amazing she is like a fish in water. She has never cried when placed in the warm bath water, or even when being taken out!
Ms. Rachael loves to lay back and let Mommy & Daddy do all the work (life is tuff when your a baby)!
So far she hasn’t figured out that she can splash when she kicks so we are still avoiding the mess in the bathroom, but this won’t last too much longer!
Meeting Great Grandma!
Here is when Rachael met her Great Grandma Brower for the first time!
It is pretty amazing Rachael not only has 3 sets of grandparents but she even has a great grandma to share in all the fun!
