Cousins

Kate loves her cousins! She is always talking about them, and saying how much she misses them. Last weekend her cousin Austin came to visit her, along with Uncle B and Auntie Tamara. We went to Schnepf Farms to pick peaches one day, went out to eat a lot, and went to a Diamondbacks game. Here are some pictures from the weekend...

10 Months!

Everett is 10 months old today! It has gone by so fast. He is doing so many new things this month...he now crawls everywhere, pulls himself up on everything and walks along the furniture. He loves exploring the house, and following his sister and Kansas around. He started eating solid foods this month too. He loves meat! And cheerios. He is a very happy little guy and I feel very, very blessed to have him in my life.

Skating Shoes

On Thursday we told Kate that she was going to go ice skating with her cousin Stephanie. All day she was very excited about her skating shoes. She loves all types of shoes already! She was a little freaked out at first, but after taking a break she wanted back out on the ice. After about 40 minutes, she just wanted to lay down on the ice and make "snow angels". Brian had to finally drag her out. I have a feeling we may be spending more time at the ice rink, which is ok with me. It's nice and cold in there!

Happy May Day!

The other day I uploaded the pictures from our "big" camera. I don't use it as much as I would like, because I'm still learning how and it is really big. Here are a few of my favorite pictures that Brian and I took over the last couple of months.

Baseball: Week 1

I'm a little late with this, since it's almost the end of the 2nd week of baseball season. Oh well!
Game 1: We went to the Diamondbacks opening game, and it was one of the best games I've ever been to. The Diamondbacks hit 5 home runs and the Rockies hit 3. It was a pretty exciting game, and the Diamondbacks even managed to win.

Everett loves baseball already!


The best way to watch baseball? While eating some nachos!


Everett loves Nana's visor.

Game 2: On Friday we went to the first game of the Dodgers series. Sadly, the Dodgers lost, but it was still fun! At least I wasn't completely alone in my sadness; Everett is a Dodgers fan too!


Game 3: On Sunday, we went to the third game of the Dodgers series, and it went much better. The Dodgers won! By this time I had eaten way too many nachos, cheeseburgers, and peanuts for one week. Maybe it would be good to take a few days off!

She's getting so big!


This is from May of last year.


My mother and father-in-law were nice enough to let me come to the game even though I dressed Kate and Everett in Dodger blue!

The rally caps didn't work. Ha!


Sorry Brandon Webb! He likes to chew on anything and everything.

Eyebrows

Yesterday Kate was in the bathroom standing in front of the mirror with a very strange and concerned look on her face, so I asked her what was wrong...

Kate: My eyebrows are brown.

Me: So...

Kate: I don't want them to be brown.

Me: What color do you want them to be.

Kate: Pink!

Me: I don't think so.

The Best Winery in Napa Valley!

A few weekends ago we were fortunate enough to be able to stay at the Salvestrin vineyard in St. Helena, Ca. It is a beautiful place, and I can't wait to go back. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the winery...

Nine Amazing Months

Everett turned 9 months old yesterday. He laughs, demands, army crawls, claps and talks! He is such a little boy already...it's gone by much too fast.
