Trip to AZ

Over Veteran's Day weekend we got to go to AZ and visit my brother and his wife, Abby in AZ. It was a great weekend of catching up and seeing where they live-and a great few days in the sun-as it has been rainy (as it should be) in the Northwest. Here are a few pics of our fun trip!

Justin, Me, Kenton and Abby

In the airport-I thought it was quite funny to crawl away from the group!

See I am funny-here I go!

Halloween!

Blake's first Halloween was a blast! We went up to his Nana and Papa's house to celebrate with the cousins and then get to go to our church's Costume Party-where I was greeted with a long time great friend as a a surprise for my Birthday! We had a great time enjoying Blake's first Halloween-here are some pictues to commemorate the moments!

Pumpkins!

We got to go to a Pumpkin patch this weekend with some friends-it was a beautiful SUNNY fall day in the Northwest great for a fun time outdoors! Despite the man who was arrested while waiting for our group to arrive-it was a great fun evening. Justin and I had a great time with great friends, and it is the first of many holiday traditions that we are starting as we now have a boy to start them with and for. We are both looking forward to this holiday season as it is Blake's first, it is like seeing it new all over again!

WALKED!

Hey all no pics yet but thought I would let you know that Blake walked this weekend-two little steps all by himself! What did he walk to-you might ask? Not mom, not dad...but a spinning football! HA!

4 Friends

These photos are from a Birthday Party we recently went to with our friends from Blue Sky Church, our home group this time last year was one busy group-we had 4 babies born in 5 months! Elsa 9/14/07, Lauren 11/1/07, Blake 12/17/07 and Elijah 1/15/08-I can't BELIEVE it has been a year since that time. I am finding that time just goes faster once you have a kid because you make your time (or at least I do) by their development, which is SO much faster than ours. I think about it and 9.5 months ago I was still pregnant and now I have a beautiful boy who can crawl, climb, laugh, smile, feed himself and is starting to walk and talk! AMAZING!

Someone had had enough...we were about 45 minutes late to nap...

Promised Fair Photos!

Here are some pics from our recent Fair Visit-The day we picked was a wonderful down pour until around 7, when we left...figures! But we had fun:) One pictures is a tribute to our good friends Kyle and Stacie Sale, who are in Scotland for a while:) We miss you guys!~
