Work trips really stink - most of the time - but the one to Costa Rica was OK!!  HAHA  Melia and the boys came with me on this one, and while I was busy working - they had a blast by the pool.  I'll have to upload the Video in a bit - but there are new pictures to the right.  After leaving Los Suenos - we met up with Carlos and Sylvia and had a blast at their place.  We tried hard for the fish - but no luck.  Maybe next time!

We are a little behind as usual. I've added to new albums July and August 2007. Tristan turned 3 at the beginning of July and so did Cousin Orion! We had a great time at his birthday party at 3-2-1 Bounce. We've taken lots of trips to Chelan, Ocean Shores, Blake Island, Victoria and hanging out at Lake Sawyer. Grandma Jeannie visited at the beginning of August and we had a great time taking the Clipper to Victoria, going to Butchart Gardens and returning on one of the Holland America cruise ships!

We've been enjoying lots of walks, bike rides and outings to the fish hatchery, park and library with the kids! It's great to have everything so close! We've added some pics to April-May and June. Enjoy!

Josh finally had a weekend off! We headed to Cannon Beah and had a great time playing in the sand. This is the first time Sawyer has really been able to enjoy the beach. Tristan loved camping and sleeping in the tent! He still wants to go back to the campsite.

We've been busy working on the new house and MOVING! We are pretty much settled, but still have a lot to do. The boys love the new place and to take walks on the nearby trails. Tristan likes being able to ride his trike in the street now that we are on a cul-de-sac.

  Well - Melia finally got tired of living out in the sticks - boondocks - with the rednecks that is!  So we bought ourselves a house back in Downtown Issaquah, where we can walk to the grocery store, the fish hatchery, the park and library, and all the fun restaurants etc ...

 

Anyway - look to the right for some pics of the new house - there'll be more up later.

Tristan has finally recovered from Daddy being gone for 2 weeks. He was traumatized and would come in our room in the middle of the night to to be sure Josh was still here. There is still suprise in his voice when he comes in and see's him here "Daddy's here!". Tristan's new favorite thing to do is PUZZLES! It's the one thing that can keep him occupied while we are on a phone call or making dinner. What a lifesaver. He's also very into dinosaurs now. He sleeps with his triceratops even though it's hard plastic! He's so curious and taking everything is, amazing us everyday.

 

Sawyer is trying hard to keep up with Tristan, Aleyna, Kyan and Katie. He is nearly running now and always with a big wide mouthed grin. He's just as curious as Tristan and communicating better each day with new signs and words.

We celebrated all the February birthdays on the 18th - here are a few pictures of the festivities. I can't believe Sawyer is one already!!!

More pics of the kids taken last month. Tristan went to Auquarium with Nana and Papa Jack. Sawyer likes to eat shoes. And we attempted to get some good pictures of the boys for Josh's birthday. We got some good ones, but it wasn't easy!! Here are a few.

Tristan's been skiing, busy being independant and now using the toilet!!! hurray for no diapers!!!

 

Sawyer is walking now - can you believe he is almost 1?

 

  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

 

 

 

Check out Tristan and Daddy skiing!

 

Sorry everyone for taking so long to get new pics up here - but with the broken leg, vacation etc... etc... it's a been a rough Fall.  Check out the new happenings to the right in the pics - the Tropical ones are from a 10 day Cruise we took to Mexico on the Zaandam.

Hi everyone!!!

 

Wow - it's been a little hile since I updated this.  Sawyer is now crawling, and Tristan chases him around the room.  We've all been down with a cold lately - no fun.  Check out all the pics we added.

Well - I have been so slack in getting new pics up here.  Sorry everyone - life is busy right now.    I've made up for it now by adding a ton of things, so check it out.

 

Tristan and Daddy have been working on the sailboat getting ready to do a trip with the whole family - and Sawyer is just grOWING bigger every day!  He's 3 and a half months old, wearing 6 to 9 month clothes!

 

Mommy is still busy as ever here at home, and it seems kind of crazy that it's already June - but time flies when you're changing two sets of diapers.

 

Have fun wherever you are!

 

Josh

Well, the last 8 weeks have been a bit of a blur.  Funny how having a new baby will do that to you!  Sawyer sure is a welcome addition to the family - Tristan just loves his baby brother - and so do Melia and Josh! See the new pics - maybe in May I'll have more to write.

Lots of stuff going on in March.  Tristan just loves his little brother, and is getting to be so big he gets to do fun stuff now.  We've been skiing, and out playing and taking pictures with Daddy.  Yesterday we went for a family walk and a goat followed us for about 3 miles!!!!

 

Yes - a goat!  Check out all the fun stuff in the pics to the right!

Happy Birthday to Sawyer - Happy Birthday to Sawyer!!!!

 

FINALLY - Sawyer Lucas Krohn joined us at 5:25 am on Sunday February 26, weighing in at 7lbs 6ozs, and 20 1/2 inches long.  Mommy and Sawyer are recovering well, although Daddy and Tristan are a little tired.  T just loves giving his baby brother kisses - and wants to hold him already.

 

Check out all the fun pics we have already.

Daddy and Mommy got me a new swingset, and Daddy and Grampa put it together!!  And Mommy is getting too big to get into her lap anymore!  I hope she has that baby soon!

OK - a message from Daddy.  I've been promising everyone (Mom ) that I would put pics of our new house on the net for all to see.  Look at the pics to the right to view.
