I took the boys down to Tahoma National Cemetery to honor Memorial Day. It is such a beautiful place, even if it is very somber. The services were going on while we walked around the park. I was able to visit a friend of mine from high school who is buried there. Great day, I love taking my kids out to events like Memorial Day to remind them there are bigger things than themselves.

This video was shot about 10 minutes after Ashley was born.

Grady ran up to the baby swing where Ashley was and wanted her out. When Robyn got her out Grady pointed at his sister and said “hold, hold”. Here is Grady getting to hold his sister for the first time.

Give the audio about 10 seconds to get better.

With just one of the kids for the day we headed off the Saturday before Easter to the YMCA in Sammamish for a Easter Egg hunt.  Can’t figure out what the best part was…the mud….or the eggs?

 Grady doing one of his favorite things…playing on the guitar like his big brother! you might be wondering what he is saying, its ‘T-Rex” his favorite dinosaur! (April 9, 2010)

As you may be able to tell there have been some changes to The Stephens Tribe.  The changes will make the site more secure and help up be able to update it faster!  So far we have:

1. Added required login at the home page.  We did this to increase security and privacy.  We want all of our friends and family to be able to look but to keep the creepers out we added the user/password.

2. Changed the photo galery to a JAlbum with a link over in the top right hand side of the home page.

Keep in touch!

We took a trip to Spooner Farms in Sumner for a family night out and to pick up a pumpkin.  We enjoyed a fun night playing with all the chickens, turkeys, goats, roosters, and rabbits!  Grady climbed up on a good ‘ol International tractor and raced rubber ducks.  In the end we had dinner in town and headed home, from a great night out together.  Tonight Cody carved the pumpkin and it turned out great!  What do you think????
