Happy Halloween

After our failed attempt at dressing Gunnar as a Lion, we decided to go for something with a little less. 

Spiderman was the perfect fit. As was the Cowgirl and Ninja.

Crew Plays Flag Football

Devin has waited years for this moment. Okay, I have too!

For Crew to play football and for Devin to coach his team. 

There's nothing quite like father/son bonding through sports.

They had a great season and we can't wait for the next.

Back to School

Crew is in 1st grade and he LOVES it.

Finley started Preschool and was more than excited, her poses say it all.

And me and Gunnar can't get enough of each other.

Freedom & Fun

So many fun memories are made on our 4th of July vacations to Idaho.  

It seemed that most of our time this year was spent in or around water. We enjoyed countless activities outdoors, celebrated Devin's birthday and the kids had some much needed cousin time. 

Our Summer in a Picture Post

Gunnar Turns ONE

May 30th came way too fast. 

It's taken me weeks to come to terms with the fact that Gunnar is already one. 

He has brought so much excitement to our family. 

He has a contagious smile and keeps us constantly laughing.

He loves to wrestle and play ball and he gives the best wet kisses. 

He already has a mouth full of teeth and is in the process of mastering his stride.

His stats from his one year check up were,

25 lbs

31 inches

HC 19 inches

Just like Crew and Finley, he rank's in the 75th-90th percentile for all categories.

 

Gunnar is crazy about the show Yo Gabba Gabba so I threw together a little Brobee doughnut cake. He wanted very little to do with it at first. 

He wasn't interested in getting his hands dirty UNTIL he tasted the chocolate doughnut.  

How Does Your Garden Grow?

We planted our first vegetable garden...which I know is going to come with much trial and error, 

but we'll take what we can get. 

Crew and Finley did most of the work on their own. They tend to it daily and are already seeing sprouts.
