They have a cool Star Wars exhibit there right now. Aaron and the kids made it in before it closed. They have a "if you leave, you can't re-enter" policy. 
The minute they got it, Arwen was doing her pee pee dance so they had to leave. Then the kids humored Aaron and sat through a boring 15 minute long movie. 
He tried to get them to see another one, but they said No Way!! They loved the kid area the best of course!!
This is our "Pumpkin" with his little buddy Tanner. Noah doesn't say Tanner so well and it always sounds like Tator. So we like to call him Tator Tot...except when people are around...
Aaron makes the best pie crust of anyone I know! We stayed up late and played games and had pies. It was a great day. Friday, we got a couple of babysitters. First we went to lunch at a Vietnamese place that Aaron has been wanting me to try. He's been talking about "Pho" forever and so I finally got to try some. It's a soup and is really good! Then we went and bought a tripod for our camera. Later that night, at our church building, they were having the first of a series of classes to teach us old folks to dance. We did line dancing first. It was really fun! Aaron's a really cute dancer--you should see him move those hips!! Saturday, we headed to the coast. It was a beautiful day! 
We went to our best agate hunting beach, but the tide was super high! I got lucky and found a nice big one while I was traversing the big rocks, trying not to kill myself or Joshua! We didn't last too long there because Ar was hungry, Noah was being a beast, and Joshua was screaming because I had him facing me in the carrier and he wanted to face outward! So we headed to the cheese factory for cheese and ice cream. It was a really fun night!!
Noah has developed this unbelievable imagination just recently! Yesterday he was playing with a Max doll and the wild thing monsters from the book "Where the Wild Things Are." He threw Max and a monster in the corner and yelled, "A time out!!" I asked him what happened. He said, "Max bited Noah." Then he ran over to Max and punched and squeezed him. He came back to me and looked at me with his huge blue eyes and said, " I killed him. I killed Max." Nice...what a psychopath! It was hysterical though. Then later on he kept having us call him Alex. He kept saying, "I Alex...or Buzz Lightyear." He is sure a comedian!! Here's a picture of Noah with his best buddy Evan. Don't you love Noah's "Camera Smile!"
Aaron went to Washington this past weekend with his Scout Troop to the Ape Caves. It a big lava tube that was formed when St. Helens erupted about 1900 years ago. Me and the kids have been there once before with Matthew and Bethany a while ago. Anyways, he had a fun day goofing off with all the boys exploring this really great cave. Don't worry Bethany...he didn't get lost for too long in the T-cut!! Luckily some kind souls saved him! (Do you remember that?) We were pretty jealous, but are looking forward to going on adventure with him this weekend.
Joshua cut his first tooth yesterday. It was such hard work that he needed a nap afterwards! 
Noah kept asking to go potty today. He finally got tired of waiting for me and took his diaper off. I got his potty chair out and 5 minutes later he came and got me from the computer and told me. Yea!!! Then he kicked the chair over. Oh well!
Josha loves bouncing! We put him in his bouncer last night and he sure did put on a show for us! It was great! He's really funny lately. We haven't seen his bottom lip in over a week now unless he's smiling. I think he' working on some teeth! He's pretty silly looking! 
Arwenisms: "You know what kind of house I'd live in if I could? A Pancake house. That way I could eat pancakes all day. And the leaves and the trees and the windows would be pancakes."
