How many times a day do we play Trouble? Oh, at least 4 times a day!! We own probably 50 other games, but he doesn't like any of them like he loves Trouble!
Baseball... still! This carried over from last summer. We have to watch the Rays play every. single. day. If they're on break, it's just not a normal day! Chase really does love watching the games, and asks lots of questions about the rules (you never realize how complicated baseball is until you try to explain it to someone)! And he does enjoy playing baseball outside with us. Think we will definitely be signing him up for the next session of t-ball!
Swimming.... just like last year, and the year before.
Riding his bike! Eric takes him out with him when he goes for a run, so Chase ends up riding about 4 miles! And when he gets home he says, "Do you think we could ride once around the neighborhood?" The kid never takes a break!
All things nature! (he really is his father's son!)... he actually sits and watches shows about PLANTS on the National Geographic channel! And for his birthday he received a "Lady Bug Land" and "Butterfly World" from a friend, which turned out to be the best gift ever! You send away for the ladybug larva and caterpillars and then watch them grow into ladybugs and butterflies! He absolutely loved it, and watched them carefully every day, all day. It was a sad day when we let them go, but it's been fun to see his face light up every time we see a butterfly now: he always says they're "his" butterflies and they've come back to visit!
Siena: she's a simple girl and what she likes most is BOOKS! She's always got one in her hands and is always backing up into someone's lap so they'll read whatever she's toting around. I think she would be happy enough just reading books all day long! 
Eric took this picture of her one night... she had fallen asleep mid-book!
Eric and Shannon: Of course it has to be food! We tend to over-do it a little when we find a restaurant that we really like. Right now our favorites are the Brunchery, You Say When Yogurt Shop, and Tijuana Flats (the Friesens know what we're talking about)! We've gone to the Brunchery at least 5 times in the past month, and who even knows how many times we go to get frozen yogurt!
But what I love the most is Tijuana Flats! I'm sure the twins will love it when they're older because we probably ate there at least once a week when I was pregnant with them! And now we're back into our old habits... I like to go whenever we get the chance (it's kind of a long drive though). Not only is the food awesome, but I like the fact that the kids eat so well when we're there... forget the standard kids menu fare: no chicken nuggets or anything like that. They love the huge burritos, quesadillas fully loaded, and applesauce with every meal! If you're ever in town for a visit, remind us to take you there. We probably will anyways! :)

Awww, I so wish I could have T-Flats! For TJ's birthday, I ordered him 4 of the Kiss My *&$% and Call Me Sally Sweet Sauces. We are loving getting to add that to our tacos anytime I make them! It was fun reading your blog tonight. Love, Ginger
