Sew Proud

As many of you know my mother and my sister, Jayme, are quite accomplished seamtresses....I am not. Well, thanks to Jayme's 4 week sewing class I have buffed up my skills! Below are the matching outfits I made for Pace and Lydia...all by my self!










Cradle

This is the cradle that David's dad made for Lydia! We love it...she sleeps so great in it! Thank you Grandpa. And thanks Nana for the bedding!


Thank you Nana for my new outfit and thank you Lulu for my new kicks!

My babies are getting so big!


Missing David

Not super easy trying to get 7 cousins under the age of 7 to cooperate for a picture!



chillin

Lydia enjoyed several naps beachside and poolside in her sun tent.





Beach trip

We went to the beach with my family the second week in June and had a great time! Pace loved playing with all his cousins. We all had a great time at the beach and the pool! Can't wait to do it again!


WEEE



Yay for early birthday presents! Pace has loved his new climbing wall/slide...makes for fun times in the back yard! Thank you Grandpa and Lulu



The farewell

A few pictures from our goodbye at the Jackson-Evers International Airport....Has anyone ever taken an international flight from Jackson, just wondering. Anyways, We are much looking forward to our reunion at the Denver International Airport in November!

Its a GIRL!!!!!!!

Here are a few sweet pictures of Lydia and Pace! We are so thrilled to have a new baby. David and I were both very surprised when the dr said you have a "Lydia." Mostly we are so thankful to have another healthy baby. Not sure Pace realizes what all is going on just yet. We will see if he is still doling out the sweet kisses once we get home!

Pace's Big Boy Backpack!






I decided to take the plunge and get Pace a Big boy bag. After losing his wipes container, hand sanitizer and a sippy cup (LABELED WITH HIS NAME) all in one outing to MOPS I decided it was time to have a bag with a zipper on it. I realize that a zipper won't keep the workers from taking things out of his bag, but maybe it will keep Pace from taking everything out. Anyways, I found a great website called Thecrazydazy.com. I ordered his bag on Thursday and received it on Saturday, talk about great turn around!

Snack Time

Enjoying snack time and our new tray table!

18 month check up

Had our 18 month check up today. They confirmed that Pace is a big boy with percentiles in the 80's and 90's for his height, weight and head circumference. We are 34 inches tall, weigh just over 28 pounds and of course our head circumference is 20 inches..I'm so shocked! Pace did well at the doctors visit and got to be seen in the safari exam room equipped with a lion exam table. Roar! The most traumatic portion of the visit proved to be having his head measured. For some reason this bothered him the most. I expressed my concern to the doc about Pace's picky eating habits, he felt like he wasn't missing out on too much considering his healthy weight! Big boy is growing up!

Hide and Seek Mom!




Pace's new activity for the week has been opening and closing doors. He is very proud of his accomplishment. While I was cooking dinner Tuesday night he decided to shut himself in the Pantry. He thought it was great fun and decided to do it again tonight!



Doing my Chores


When Pace is 14 and won't vacuum for his dear mother I intend on pulling out these photos that document so well his love for the vacuum cleaner!



Snow Tubing in Keystone




Nilla Wafers

Apparently we don't feed our child enough. He decided to take matters into his own hands.


Snow Boots!

Pace loves his snow boots! Our morning usually looks something like this....
wake up around 7
go downstairs around 7:15-7:20
eat breakfast at about 7:30
put on boots at about 8:00

Cutie Pie

Can't believe Pace is almost 18 months! He is such a big boy!

Sledding in Breckinridge!

Monday we headed to the mountains for some snow activities. First we started off in Keystone where David was able to do one run down the mountain on his new skis (used, but new to him). After that we had a quick lunch and headed to Breckinridge where we took Pace sledding. He had the best time and kept on saying "wee wee." We wish his cousins lived closer, because we know they would enjoy it just as much as Pace!

1st Real Haircut

We took Pace to get his first "real" haircut this weekend. Although I did protest a little, in the end I agreed that something had to be done about the wildness. Pace really enjoyed sitting in the yellow car and was going to town on the steering wheel. Overall, I was pleased with a haircut. He still looks like my little baby boy!
