Elli

It's been a while since I have posted on my little angel. They grow so fast at this age and I know I better keep up on how big she is getting. At 7 months, she is crawling all over the place- has been since 5 months! She is pulling herself up on everything and standing all by herself for long periods of time. The doctor told me to be prepared for her to be walking soon- Are you kidding me? She can now make it up our first stair, dang it!!! Time for a baby gate I guess. I have had her on rice cereal and a little fruit, once a day, for about 2 months now and she loves it. She is still a very constant nurser and quite the mama's girl- both of which I love and cherish! Oh and how she loves her voice, so much! All in all, she is amazing and we adore her!!!!!

2 front teeth

Kaleb had to have his two bottom teeth pulled at the Dentist. It went great though and he got a visit from the tooth fairy that night!!!! He is growing up too fast!

Halloween 2010

Another successful Halloween year! We all had a great time and enjoyed the Halloween spirit!!!

I know, kinda freaky. This was for a party we went to of one of the guys Jas works with. We went all out!

Yeah, I actually didn't wear slippers... I ended up with pink high heals!! It was fun.

Carving

We had a great time carving, as usual.

The boys helped me paint Elliana's pumpkin. I always paint for the first year, it's kind of a tradition now.

OOOOH, scary!!!

Sauvie Island

We decided to try a different pumpkin patch this year, Sauvie Island. It was really fun and we had a great time.

The cow train... it was so bumpy, holy cow!!!

Although it is spelled different, we thought it only right to ride in "Ellie."

Beach part III

We went to the Newport Aquarium our last day, and had a great time. There was lots to see and do and it was fun for all!

There was lots to touch and explore in this little pool, the boys loved it.

Elliana enjoyed it too!

Watching the seals and sea lions get fed was the best part! This sea lion was amazing and did all sorts of tricks- he was great to watch!!!

One of the flips he did- there is just something amazing about an animal that big doing flips like that.

Pretty cool, huh?

Sharks scare me to death!!!

Beach part II

We always enjoy and look forward to the tide pools. I love finding all the marine life that is left behind to "play" with- the boys love it when I catch a crab or fish to see and touch!!! It was fun as always.

Like daddy, like daughter!!

I absolutely love these pics of Kaleb- he loves to play in the water at the beach and has a blast.

He couldn't be happier.

Beach part I

Well, we finally made it to the beach. We have been trying all summer. It was a last minute trip, and the weather wasn't great the first day, but we had a great time! If I had the choice, I would spend most of my time at the beach, there is just something about it!

Run!!!

Playing in the sand!

We decided to bring Kya for the first time- she loved it!

Isn't she adorable? That wasn't really a question!!!

The boys and Kya running and having a blast! It poured the first day- we were all soaked!!!

And the finished product!!!
