Roman is 1!

Today our little Roman turned 1. The last year has flown by! We decided not to have a party but to take him to the pumpkin patch and give him a cupcake! We bought him a little bike trailer that Sam can hook up to his bike, it also doubles as a jogging strooler (he is in it at the pumpkin patch) Here are some pictures

Passed out!!

Roman and I are in Longview right now spending some time with my family. Sam is working almost everyday but probably enjoying some quiet time at home when he is off work. Roman is standing well and we think he will walk anyday now! I'm trying to ween him off his bottle but it's hard at bedtime. He will be 1 year old in 28 days! On Thursday we are taking hime to get some portraits taken, I'll post them after we get them back.

Million Smiles Park

Today we found this great park in Lynden. It has different areas for different age groups for little kids. It was the coolest park we'd ever been too. Sometimes I forget that Roman won't always be a baby. He is on the verge of walking. While we were on vacation he started saying "Bye bye bye" and waving his hands. Tonight when we would say "Mama" he would say "Mamamama" and when we said "Dada", He would say 'Dadadada" He laughs non-stop and can sit and eat a WHOLE graham cracker! The first picture of him is how everyday when I am making him food he climbs up there and smiles at me. We try to discourage it but he loves to climb.

Looking forward to Fall

Our family is very much looking forward to fall. We had a very hard summer and are looking forward to all the good things coming up! Our 2nd wedding anniversary, Romans 1st birthday, Halloween, Autumn & Jakes Wedding, Thanksgiving and Christmas! We are spending Labor Day weekend in Ocean Shores. We are excited for a little vacation! We will post pictures from our trip when we get back.

Pictures from our Hiking Trip

The weather wasn't very nice but it was still a fun afternoon! We went to Larrabee State Park. It's off of Chuckanut Drive. We are looking out to the bay.

Quickie Update

Not too much going on right now. We went camping out on Whidbey Island. We left EARLY the next morning. Roman cried all morning. He was getting over a cold and was just not enjoying himself. We are going to try again in a few weeks. He is crawling everywhere, trying to stand, pulling himself up, and sleeping great through the night! He is in 18 month clothing also :) This is Sams 1st Sunday off in MONTHS, so we might go hiking at Mt. Baker. We are just amazed watching our little guy grow up so fast!

4th of July & Afternoon at the Lake

Here are some pictures from 4th of July. We went to the marina in Bellingham (our favorite place) and watched fireworks. Yesterday, we took Roman swimming in Lake Whatcom. It took him awhile to warm up to it, but we think he started to enjoy it! He DID NOT like the baby swing at the playground!!
