Day at the Beach

 

David and I drove up to visit Joy and the twins in Edmonds, it was such a nice day we took a walk and hit the beach for David's first adventure with sand :) He seemed to enjoy it quite a lot!

A Visit From the Twins

We had a lovely visit from Dan and Joy and the twins, we had a delightful BBQ of shisk-ka-bobs and took a walk to get some delicious frozen custard and ended up at the park near our house to enjoy the sunshine and outdoors. Isaiah and Grace had some fun in the swing and David was content to sit and watch the festivities. At one point he was fascinated by a white clover flower, so Jonathan picked it and showed it to him, David spent a good 10 minutes staring at it before deciding it was safe, he then reached for it and promptly put it in his mouth! It was pretty funny, he was holding tight to the flower end and sucking on the stem. It didn't seem to be a problem but a concerned bystander noticed he was eating "something" and took it away- which made him cry. Sorry if the pics seem out of order, but blogger wasn't letting me post more than 5 at a time so they got scrambled :) Enjoy all the photos :)
God Bless, hope you are all doing well!

Quinault Rain Forest

 
We had a wonderful 4th Wedding Anniversary! We started by heading to the Olympic National Forest to check out the Quinalt Rain Forest, The drive was pretty nice, even though it rained off and on... we passed an odd bit of Ranchland that held not only cows but the LARGEST Metal reproduction of a cow we have ever, or wanted to see before. There were 3 of these behemoths and I wish I had a picture to show. The Gargantuan structures made the real cows look like so many mice at their feet. Any how, once we arrived at the park it was still raining but we decided to trek the first path all the same to see what wonders we could find, it was impressive! The trees were massive, the running water was so powerful- it was stunning! about half way through the .6 mile trail the rain stopped almost completely which made for an even more pleasant day. After the first hike we drove a bit to a trailhead to see a waterfall, and while there was a tad bit more climbing- we were thankful that we encountered nothing like the grade on Mt Saint Helens. My anniversary present was a new camera- and the waterfall gave me the ideal opportunity to play with it a bit. I was able to slow the shudder speed down and capture the movement of the waterfall. (The new cam boasts 10 megapixels, 12X zoom and allows either auto digital of I can take full control of Shutter and Aperature, plus some fun settings like Natural light, and panoramic) Our last stop was to see the World's Largest Spruce Tree- then it was time to head to Olympia to enjoy dinner at the Outback Steakhouse.

David, Ryan and Stevie

 
Hey all! Another update :)
The Weekend of August 15th, I left Jonathan Home to do homework and David and I headed to Wenatchee to visit my cousin Jess and 7 week old Stevie Lynn. She is so tiny and cute! What a beautiful baby girl! While we were there I also got to see Crystal and Baby Ryan Michael who was born the day after David- it was a lot of fun to see the boys together- lots of similarity in size and devolpment but a lot of differences in personality! My camera was broken during this trip, so I only have the ones that I jacked from Jess' myspace, please enjoy!
God Bless :)
 
 
 

Life keeps on going...here are some pieces

 
Howdy all! I am going to be posting some pics and stories for ya'll...while I was pregnant I imagined it would be easy to keep up the blog as a astay at home mom, but it is proving to be challenging. For example I am currently typing with one hand so I can hold David in my lap. lol. But I do believe that it is important... so here goes.


David hit the 6 month mark in August and is a pretty impressive little guy... he is still long and heavy for his age, already too tall for most 6-9 month clothes, and as cute as a button! He sits pretty well all by himself and smiles quite alot, and has recently started make "m" sounds so every once in a while I hear somthing that sounds a tiny bit like "mom" but usually like "aaammmu!" He currently has a little cold, but seems to be handling it well. He cut his first tooth and now find pleasure in biting ususpecting relatives if their thumbs get too close. Has a fun piano that little friend Shi passed on to us that he loves- also good for sitting practice and even tiny bits of standing! He currently likes to grab folks face- particularly Jonathan's gotee. We started making our own baby food since we had the long weekend to work on it, it is both easier and harder than I anticipated, but it is proving to be cost effective if not time-friendly.
