While I was cooking dinner tonight, Will announced he was going outside, but was going to stay where I could see him. Wanting to see what he was up to, I headed out just in time to see him peeing on the lawn and take off his pants outside. I tried to get a photo, but Will kept running towards my camera. I liked how he was looking up in his photo and I'm especially fond of the eyelashes. I love them.

Tonight Marc went golfing, so Will and I were left to our own devices. We did a little shopping at Trader Joe's and picked up a pizza for dinner. The empty box made for a perfect shield and our little knight just loved it!

Little Miss Bianca turned one this week and we celebrated with her today. Bryan and Sasha hosted a lovely party and the birthday girl was all smiles!

Aargh, Matey! Pirates and their ships, real swords, dragon boats and, of course, ice cream. Will had a blast at the Tacoma Maritime Festival today!

Once again, Will played pants-less in the backyard tonight. Thank goodness he listened to reason and put them back on before climbing in his favorite tree.

Uncle Bob has often asked, "Doesn't that kid ever wear pants?" Yes, of course. However, there must be something appealing about going commando because Will often strips his pants off and enjoys a new found freedom. He'll do just about anything pants-less: eat his dinner, sit on the floor and play guys, run around, and, as you see here, play outside.

Showin' off his guns.

Will lucked out today. Dad bought Cinnamon Life and was kind enough to share some with Will for dessert. He didn't want to stop shoveling those little squares in his mouth!

We celebrated Mom's 55th birthday today. It was a hard day, but it was made easier because all of us kids came to show Mom our support. There is nothing our family can't handle. We love you, Momma.

Today you get a glimpse of our dinner table. What you don't see in this photo is the mess of crumbs on the floor, the broken slat on Will's chair, or the dirty hand prints all over the table. You do get to see my two boys deep in conversation - something there is no shortage of at our table. Will has definitely inherited my loquaciousness!

I've spent the last two days repainting the hall and family room a different shade of tan. It isn't that much lighter, but it is less green/yellow. It really brightens up the room!

It takes everything I have to get him to actually *look* at the camera. Love this face.

After being away for 4 days, we came home to find the blackberry bushes laden with fruit. We picked a ton and froze them...it will be nice to thaw out a bit of summer on a dreary winter day.

Today was busy and HOT! We started our day with a trip to the Kangaroo Farm, then headed to the Pow Wow. They needed a boy to "model" their tiger face and asked if I'd let him get painted for free. Um...yes! Dare I say he looks a little bit pretty with all of this make up on? Will loved his tiger face!

Will loved riding around Grandma and Grandpa's yard in the golf cart. First, Grandma let him drive, then Grandpa took him on adventures to find bad guys. Can't beat that!
