Santa Cruz camping trip #1

In July we went camping with the Schmidt family in Santa Cruz! It was a lot of fun, and Ty just loved the beach and would do what he could to get into the sand!

Hangin out on the beach, the very windy beach!

We love our camping trips, and had so much fun with everyone!

Some random pictures during month 7...

We got home from church one day, and Ty was SO exhausted (like most kids on a Sunday)
and he was just cuddling with Steve! It was so cute!!!!!

Getting ready for a bath! He loves his baths!

I was cooking dinner one night, and Ty was just hangin out in the Bumbo and was so smiley! Makes cooking dinner a lot better with this little face!

Umm...I think we are all grown out of the bouncer seat! ;)

Doing pull-ups with dad!

Surprise!

YES! You saw that right! I have a nine month old, and we've got another one on the way!! A little girl in fact! We are really excited and can't wait for Ty to have a little buddy! I am so happy to know that I get one of each atleast! Too bad all the clothes we have need to be put in bins and not in the drawer to be used in 4 months! ;) She will be coming sometime around January 19th! I am 22 weeks as of today!

Ty's first trip to the ID!

The beginning of July we headed up to Idaho for a visit to Grandma Julie's! It was a long drive, and by the end of it Ty was really done with his carseat!

Sitting in the front seat and loving it (in the Wal Mart parking lot ;))!

We headed up to Mesa Falls for a day out!

Waiting for the fireworks to start!

Our little family!

The beautiful Idaho sunset!We had a great time visiting grandma and Aunt Laura and her family! We love Idaho and really enjoy getting back there when we can!

Summer 2011...

This summer has come and gone so fast! We have had a great summer visiting family and going on little trips when we could fit them in! We love Summer time and all of the outdoor time that comes with this great season! I am really far behind on the blogging, so this will take a few posts, so you will be able to see the growth and changes in the little man!

Memorial Day weekend we went camping at Pinecrest Lake with my sister and her family! It was quite the experience! We had everything from rain, snow, hail, and sunshine (for a minute)! It was a gorgeous lake and we would love to go back when we don't have to bundle up so much! Regardless, Ty loved his first camping experience and did pretty good for the little 6 month old he was!

Daddy and Ty snoozing!

Just kickin it!

Hanging out with Mom! (we get a lot of this time) I love it!

Folsom Lake with Uncle Allen, Aunt Megan, and Aunt Natalie!

Ty Loves going on walks in the stroller!

Hangin out in the Bumbo!

We call this his "intense face" I don't know where he got this from! He just started doing it one day with the nose blowing sound and all! It's really funny!

To be continued...

Ty's Weekend of Firsts...

This past weekend we spent as a family and Tyler experienced a few things for the first time! On Friday night, we all went to the Giants vs. Braves game! Ty's first game!

He did so good! Just hung out, slept, and kept mom warm!

On Saturday went outside with Dad and had his first longboarding experience!



And...loved it!

And Sunday was his first Easter! It was such a nice day! He was loving the basket!


Matching Dad for church! (This kid and his faces caught it right on time!)

The Last 4 Months...

The last 4 months have gone by so fast! So much has happened in the last little while and I haven't had time to update, I say a little while because it all began before Ty even came...

Steve got a job in San Jose, CA last September, and moved down here to start. I moved in with my parents while I worked and waited for our little man to come! It was definitely not the ideal situation when your waiting for your first child to come living apart, but everything worked out great. Here are some newborn pics that i loved and realized i didn't post...

One weekend we went for a drive...trying to explore our new area...and ran into snow...

It totally threw us off...snow in the bay area...? It was pretty though! It was like the next weekend we went to San Francisco and it was 70 degrees and beautiful!

Ty's 3 month pictures!

He's pretty serious!

A couple days after he turned 3 months old he found his hands and they have been the greatest entertainment since!

We went rollerblading at this awesome park, it was a lot of fun.

I love being a mom! And waking up to this little man!

Tyler's 4 month stats:

Head Circumference: 42 cent. 50th percentile

Height: 25.25 inches 75th percentile

Weight: 11 lbs 11oz. 10th percentile

This kid is long and skinny...definitely not built like his mom!

I love his facial expressions!

Although it has taken some time, we are warming up to the area. Before I had Ty, we came down together so I could move our stuff in...as we were pulling up I said to Steve..."Ahh man, I never thought I would live in the bay area!" and he replied "are you kidding! I never thought I would live in California!" Haha!
