Spencer's 2nd Birthday!

Spencer loved blowing out his candles... We had to do it several times in order to get our fix of blowing out fire for the year!

Spencer opening up his gifts - thanks everyone for my presents! Spencer loved all his new toys, movies, clothes etc.

Pizza dinner and a movie in the Family Room! What a treat... Spencer thought this was the greatest idea ever!

The little man on his new scooter... zoom, zoom, zoom!

Birthday Cupcakes and lots of candy! Mom sure knows how to make Birthdays 'sugar'iffic!

Carmel-by-the-Sea

Thank you Lorin and Janet for a wonderful trip to San Fransisco and Carmel-by-the-Sea! We had a fantastic and relaxing time!

Nick and I went to Bubba Gumps to celebrate our 4 year anniversary... The food was just as good as we remembered it!

We had a great time playing at the Beach. Nick and Lorin threw the Frisbee for quite a while, and then the ladies joined in.

Go Janet! Queen of the Frisbee game...

Hanging out on the Beach at Carmel...

This is the great life - Right you two! We all had so much fun relaxing, eating great food, shopping for tee-shirts, etc. None of us wanted to return to real life.

Boys, I love the hot pink frisbee! We stopped at a game store and happened to get their last frisbee - what a find :o)

When the Manager of the Inn we were staying at found out is was our anniversary they upgraded our room to one of the Sweets and sent us Sparking Apple Cider on the official day! Of course we wouldn't have even been on the trip had it not been for the Tobler's, so we decided to share in the spoil of our 4 year bubbly drink :o)

The 17 Mile drive was Beautiful! We ate a picnic at the beach - Stop #5 and then joyfully sipped our drinks and we took in the gorgeous view!

This time I actually threw in a quarter to check out the view... and it worked! I saw all sorts of great things on the rock. Go figure - the telescopes really work.

Picture by our hotel sign...

Nick inside one of the cells at the Prison. While in San Fransisco we took a ferry over to the island to check out Alcatraz. We really enjoyed the tour and loved the view of San Fran. What a fun city!

Sea Lions at Pier 39!

We loaded up on fresh cherries, salt water taffy, clam chowder and of course, chocolates and ice cream from Ghirardelli. Yum! We also enjoyed stopping by Stanford and eating at a cute little Cafe that Maren recommended from her college days.

We had a great vacation and loved every minute of it. I even survived being away from Spencer for the week. He had fun with Grandpa and Grandma Roberts, Nate and Stephanie... I don't think he missed us at all. He made us feel good by running to us at the airport though!

We are having a baby...

Yes - We went in for our ultrasound on May 12th, and it is officially a Boy! We are so thrilled! We have already decided on a name: Landon Marc Tobler (Thanks Uncle Marc for letting us use your name for the middle!) I think Spencer and Landon will be the best of friends, but I have to say my exciting projects are out the window... I was having a lot of fun making bows, planning sewing projects, thinking about pink color schemes - just in case ya know. It looks like our family will stick with blue and green for a while longer, and lets face it boys love cars and balls - not much to work with there! I love my boys, but I am still wearing as much pink as possible... someone has to be super girly around here!

Nate's Graduation from Law School!

We went to Arizona for Nate's graduation from ASU Law School! What an exciting time. Nate was so happy... he smiled through the whole thing! We had a wonderful vacation that week... Marc and Karen got into thier new home (it looked awesome)! Janet treated Stephanie and I to hair cuts and a pedicure - Thanks I loved it! We had lots of time to visit, eat great food, swim, cut Kristi and Derek's hair, watch movies, and shop! I came a way with lots of new prego clothes! Thanks everyone for a wonderful time!

Congratulations!!

Swimming at Grandma and Grandpa Tobler's...

Aunt Kristi loves to play with me!

Me, Daddy and Aunt Kristi smiling at mommy!


Here are the guys taking on all of the Kids in the pool! Marc and Nick had a great time tackling the kids and being dunked! Jackson was sure nice to Spencer all week. They had fun throwing balls in the yard, swimming, playing at the mall, etc. They were best buddies! Thanks cousin Jackson for being so great!

Spencer, Nick and Bridgette... These little ones love the water!

Horse Show!

Nick scored major bonus points in the Daddy division when he picked up horse show tickets from work! Spencer thought it was the best event ever... especially since he's been watching Dreamer on and off for the past few months. He loves horses!
These horses were really cool. They did all sorts of interesting trots and moves to classical music. It wasn't what I expected to see, but we had a great time!

Spencer are you having fun or what!?! Thanks Daddy!

Happy Birthday Jen and Nick!

Jen and Nick both celebrated their 27th Birthdays the end of April. For Jen's Birthday we went to Cheesecake Factory and then walked around the mall. After the shopping was over we went to ice cream shops around town and picked up our free Birthday Club treats! We were on Ice cream overload by the end :o)
Spencer and Mommy at dinner - Yummy... we love the bread!

For Nick's Birthday, Spencer and I took him balloons and treats to his office and then we had lunch at PF Changs. That evening our neighbors watched Spencer so we could go on a date! We had a great time.

End of Tax Season

Nick and Bryan work together at Deloitte - Thus both families we're counting down the days to April 15th (the end of busy tax season). The Millers invited us to their cabin that weekend to relax, play games, ride 4-wheelers, and simply - Not be in the office :o) We had a blast! Check out the awesome scenery behind Nick - It was beautiful up there!

Jen and Spencer in the fort!

Stops along the 4-wheeling trail...

Carrie Miller and her Kids on the 4-wheeler, Thanks for a great weekend at the Cabin!

The Boys throwing rocks into the river... This was Spencer's favorite part of the whole trip!

Cute as can be - Spencer just loving his new found stick!

Jake, Nick and Spencer - These little boys (and big boy - ha ha ha) could have spent the whole day throwing things into the little stream. They loved walking over the board walk and collecting things to throw. Spencer kept it simple, while Jakie tried chucking things in 3 times his size... not to mention we had to rescue Jake a few times from the water :o)

Time for Easter Eggs!

Spencer seemed to enjoy coloring his Easter eggs this year! He didn't want to dip them in the dye, he just wanted to paint on them!

Conference Weekend

Grandma and Grandpa gave me a golf set and a new ball. We had a lot of fun playing in the yard and going for walks. I love to be outside!
