Love my Daddy

Love my Poppa

Really Love my Nanny and Julia (doo-lia)

These pictures are from Michele and Travis.....If your a facebooker, you have seen some of them
We had 12 adults for dinner in our new kitchen using Mudders dining room table. It was awesome. I was so happy to have the family drive up and even fly in (KIM). As usual Nanny did the majority of the cooking and such but everyone pitched in and made the day a success.

RANDOMNESS

I have lost my camera....I like to think it was stolen...I couldn't possibly be that irresponsible could I? A new camera is on its way thanks to a great deal on woot.

Ians Favorite Place

Start em young.....

Pumpkin Patch

Pickin out pumpkins was fun...Ian fell and scratched his face up pretty good.

Canyon Family Breakfast Labor Day 2008

Cousin Kim, Auntie Susan, Travis, Michelle, and Julia were all in town.

14 months old(ish)

Ian loves his buttons and switched. He will stand (with help) at the light switch forever. This car shot was one of his happiest days. The hazard lights, the blinkers, the radio, cruise control....pure bliss but major meltdown when leaving.
He is fully walking and bumping himself. He wears big boy shoes. He can tell you what a doggy, cow and kitty say. He says "all done", "byebye" and a few others. He is cutting more teeth soon to appear. He is growing up super fast!

Video with Music...first attempt

Playing around with imovie....
Ian has taken many free step or are they leaps. He dives for objects, he is pretty unstable but getting the hang of walking really fast. No major injuries....just all over the place and still into everything reachable. Remotes and phones are the top pick "toys". Not surprising.

Tomatoes and New Floors

We have been back at work...floors are in. Tomorrow we will grout the tile but we are DONE....

Garden Helper

Tomatoes are happening...Ian likes to help water, pick things and put things in his mouth.

Hardwood is Finished

Andy,Tommy and Brian worked hard to get this done in 2 days....Tommy was the biggest help ever!

BLake with Evans Fam

Evans family came to the Lake...The fathers rode their bikes around the lake, all of us fished and boated a little and the moms and children rode the bike path and hung at the beach. Good times.

LASAGNA

Yummy mess maker....
