Christmas Fun!

Making our gingerbread house. Andrew had so much fun. He would eat a M&M really fast and then put one on the house and then eat another.



Zoolights!

6 Years!

Tay and I just celebrated our 6th Wedding Anniversary last Saturday. We are more in love than ever and so thankful for each other. Tay's mom took Andrew overnight on Saturday and we got to get away to Portland for the night. We love that our Anniversary is during December. We love everything Christmas, the lights, the decorated trees, the music, the Christmas movies and the warm drinks. This is such a fun time of the year!

Happy Birthday Andrew!

Andrew turned 2 on Sunday. I know everyone says this as their kids grow up but I really cannot believe my baby is two and not at all a baby any more. Andrew is so loved he had three parties. One in Salem, a friend party and a family party on his birthday with Angela's family.


Andrews Friends

Those silly McGoverns!

Andrew was actually excited about the cake this year and wanted to try some, but once he got his piece he just kind of poked at it.

Right now Andrew loves cars, trucks, anything that moves, and especially the Cars Disney Movie. He knows all the characters. He was so cute, when Tay got him up on his birthday morning, Tay asked him what he wanted to do on his birthday. Andrew replied "Watch Cars" then he paused and said, "All Day". He got so much car stuff for his birthday now he thinks everything that comes in a package is a car for him. Today we got a UPS package from an online order and Andrew kept saying, cars, cars, cars. He was so upset when I opened the package and it wasn't a car for him.

Here is picture of Andrew in his new Car PJ's with his new Car blanket.

On Andrews Birthday in the morning Tay and I took him to Odyssey 1 a play area for kids with lots of slides and tubes to climb in. Andrew loved it and got more adventure the longer we were there.

Taylor also had fun climbing in the tubes after Andrew to make sure he was OK.

Our Trip to Oklahoma

It always takes me a while to get some posts out. So this is from our trip in October. We got to go on a vacation to Oklahoma with my parents for a family reunion. We had a wonderful time and Tay got to see where I spent junior high and half of high school. The town I am from has one 4 way stop and no stop lights. If you blink you will miss it. Tay had never been to Oklahoma so he really enjoyed it. It was really restful and there is no traffic. If it is 50 miles it is 50 minutes away.

We spent the first part of our trip at Robbers Cave State Park where we stayed in cabins. We went on this really beautiful hike. But half way through I started thinking why in the world did I come on this hike 6 1/2 months pregnant and why in the world did we bring a toddler. But we made it and Andrew didn't fall off any cliffs. He actually spent most of the hike on Taylors shoulders. I don't know how Tay did it especially with Andrew pulling on his hair the whole time to hold on.


Grandma loved getting lots of extra time with us and Andrew.


Angela and her cousin Abby

The whole family.

My Dad, his sister Patty and his sister Cindy.


The cousins getting pushed in the wagon. Andrew loved this wagon.

We went to a Children's Museum one day and Andrew had a blast.

We also had a lot of fun at the Children's Museum too. They had this bubble room where you could stand inside a huge bubble. Tay and I thought it was awesome.



Bedtime Routine

This is how Andrew gets tucked in for nap and bedtime every day. It started with monkey around 6 months and then for his 1st birthday he got kitty from Aunt Kelsey. Then in August he got Elmo from Grandma and we just recently added bear to the mix. For fun Tay and I tried to add a fifth one to see if it would fit, but with everyone we offered Andrew, he would just say no. So these are the four that made the cut.

Our baby girl!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I didn't post this sooner. But in case some of you still don't know we are having a girl. It still feels surreal to think about a girl and all the pink when we have been about everything boy for awhile. But we are so excited to have a little princess.

We're Still Here!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I have not updated the blog lately. The first trimester of pregnany has been pretty rough this time and I have been really sick. But I am almost 17 weeks now and starting to feel better. So don't give up on our blog. To make up for the last couple of months here are some summer pictures.
These pictures are from the Seattle Children's Museum. Andrew had a great time, there was so much for him to do.








Fun at Castle Park!
