11 months old....and off to California!


Just a day after school, we packed our bags and jetted to California.  We had a wonderful time with family and friends.  The boys enjoyed getting spoiled by family and swimming in the California sunshine!  We also went to Legoland and the boys experienced their FIRST roller coaster ride.  It was hard to say goodbye but the fun continued when we got home as Dale's family came for a visit.  The boys got to go on a little road trip, swim at hotel swimming pools and spend a day at the beach.  Summer may have just begun but we have had a summer worth of fun already! 

I also started graduated school and have so far loved all my classes (both online and in person) and am enjoying diving into learning.  In between classes, we are swimming, playing at the park, and spending time with friends! 

Quinn is also now walking! They may be baby steps but he is so proud of his accomplishment and claps everytime!  He still has no teeth, but that doesn't interfere with his ability to eat--he is a garbage disposal!  Quinn is still loving bananas and salmon!

We will celebrate Quinn's bday next Thursday with a little family celebration.....I can't believe he is almost 1!

 So glad Gigi flew with us....Quinn didn't want to sit still!

9 months old!

I am officially very bad at posting updates on everyone.  With 3 kids and a full-time job, I hardly ever have time to sit down.  But, alas, Quinn is 9 months old and its overdue for an update.  We had a wonderful Easter with my aunt and uncle.  We also spent a lot of time in our backyard, looking for the lizards and frogs, especially after the floods!

So what happened this month?

  • Kannon lost his first tooth! And then lost another the next day!
  • I had strep throat, twice!
  • We had our first night without the boys.  Kannon and Clark went to my aunts and Quinn went to my moms so Dale and I could attend the Parker School Auction
  • We had lots of date nights, well spent playing trivia at our favorite place!
  • We had the historic "Tax Day" Flooding. We were stuck for a few hours, but thankfully no water in he house.
  • Dale's best friend from Seattle came to visit! 
  • We also fostered some chicks for the weekend and had a blast playing with them!
  • We walked 1 mile to school one morning, just for fun.
  • Quinn had his 9 month appointment and is growing great, he is in the 50th percentile for both height and weight!
42 weeks in, 42 weeks out
