Wyoming

A few weeks ago we headed up to Wyoming to see Cam's family... or as he calls it, the "Great White North" :) . It was so relaxing and, of course, great to see everyone!

Cam enjoyed spending time with Roxy...

(ok, let me just say that this dog probably weighs 150lbs and just plopped down on Cam like it was nothin! HA!)

And Taya spent her time in the beautiful flower gardens....

(I spy Taya)

And playing with Roxy...
And Aunt Tiffy...

And Dodger snuggled with Nana...
(Don't be mad at me for posting this, Nana, you look adorable!!!)

And gave lots of kisses...
And chilled in the hammock...
And played with Aunt Jen...

And apparently I was behind the camera because there were zero pictures of me... don't worry though, I'm not that sad about it :)

Thanks so much for a great weekend!! And thanks for watching the kids so Cam and I could go see "Eclipse" !!! That's right, he went with me. Whoop whoop :)


p.s. New project pictures coming soon... this one is FOR SALE again!

Dodger- Nine Months

Wow, I can't believe the time has gone by so fast! Dodger is 9 months today and still as sweet as ever. Here's a few things about our precious boy...


17.2 lbs, 6%
27 in, 12%

*He SMILES. And SMILES again. And SMILES again. And again. And again. :)





*He's sitting up and army crawling everywhere, but hasn't quite figured out actual crawling yet!

*FINALLY eating some real food, but I'm pretty sure he's allergic to almost everything :(

*He and Taya have started this thing where they yell back and forth at each other, it's the cutest thing EVER! She'll scream in her high pitched voice and he'll do it back, then back and forth to each other. It's hilarious! I'll have to get it on video asap!

*He hugs me! That sounds lame, I know, but when he hasn't seen me for a few hours he cuddles and lays his head on my shoulder. Such a Momma's boy... and I LOVE it! :)

*He SCREAMS when you take something from him that he's playing with... I think it's because Taya is ALWAYS stealing his toys!

*He LOVES his sister... except when she's pushing him over and stealing his toys! He stares at her and just smiles, it's adorable. If I'm not around he's comforted just knowing that she is.

*He is sooooo TICKLISH!!!

*********
We love our sweet boy, he really is such an angel. I always said it would be SO nice to have a calm baby after Taya, so thank goodness we got so lucky with our precious, happy little boy! :)

Phone Uploads

I was going through pictures on my phone last week to open up some more space, and I found all these pictures of Taya that I just couldn't delete so I emailed them to myself and decided to let you enjoy them too :) ...

Playing in my makeup. Notice the mirror in the background :( ...
She made Jami wrap her in a blanket and feed her a bottle like a baby...
Eating an oreo...
Making piggy faces with scotch tape...
I snapped a picture of the baby monitor after Taya hopped in the crib with Dodger a few months ago. It's hard to see but she's in the right corner just chillin :) ...
Painting her face, (shocker!) ...
Static! ...
Oops, ya missed a piece...
Pretending to be asleep on my bed ...
Eating ice cream...
And, my personal favorite...

This is most of the reason I don't get much done around my house! But ya gotta love her!

It's Finished...

And I'm sad about it. Because that means I have to give it up :( . So here are the pictures you've all been dying to see... or not... you probably could care less, but I'll show you anyway :)

*******************

Yes, all of the handles are missing except for one... that's because I always get too anxious to start my projects and forget to take the pictures first! So, this is me, remembering to take them right before I took off the last handle :)

Before & After...


Before & After...

And before & after...

Quote From Tay

This morning I told Taya I was going to hurry and take a shower... her response, "Mommy, just be a iddle quiet, Dodger's seeping". Ha! Thanks Taya :)

Grotto Falls

On Sunday we went hiking with some friends up to Grotto Falls, which turned out to be super cool. The kids had a blast, Dodger was kicking his legs the whole time and Taya, of course, was in heaven. She LOVES being outside! (Guess it's time to invest in some better walking/hiking shoes than crocs :).) It was a beautiful hike, a little bit colder than we thought it would be, but we still had a blast. We're thinking about making this our new Sunday activity.


We can't seem to get Taya to open her eyes when she smiles!


Taya was TERRIFIED of these caves on both sides of us. It took her a long time to warm up, and even then she just clung to Cam the whole time. She still talks about the "scary tunnels". Ha!

The waterfall was so loud Taya was plugging her ears the whole time :)

Classic Taya

This is my friend Trisha and her little boy Cannon. Her and her husband went with us. Don't look at the differences in our skin tones :) Poor Dodger looks like a ghost! He must have gotten lucky and inherited the Woodward skin! Sorry baby.
