Too Long!

Ok, Ok, I know it has been way too long since I've updated our blog! So for all those that have been harping on me here ya go. I have a bunch of pictures that I took off my phone from the last several months. Most are of Teagan and James because I'm the one who ends up taking them. Thank you for showing interest in us and our life. We are all doing well and Teagan is growing more and more everyday, talking in complete sentences and learning something new all the time. He likes to sing, ride bikes and play. James is still working doing landscaping and is getting into the busy season here. I am working part-time on the ambulance, or as Teagan likes to say, "am-bu-bunce". I've applied to nursing school, again, here and am waiting to hear. I do know that I made top 40, and was able to earn extra points by taking an essay. I will keep you posted!

We all are keeping busy and I will try to update this more....

In random order:

Teagan on his new "bigole" that my mom got for him! (05/22/11)

Helping Daddy garden at Mimi and Papa Jim's house. (12/23/10)



Solider Boy (December, 2010).

Nice "Stashes" guys! (05/24/11)

Hagging out with Daddy on the couch (04/25/11).

I told Teagan that if he wanted to come outside with me that he had to go get dressed, this is how he came outside. I laughed and laughed! (04/20/11)

Sharing the straw (04/03/11).

Papa Jim reading Teagan a book, while we all were in Hawaii (03/21/11).

Cool shades dude! In Hawaii, enjoying the sun! (03/22/11)

Ahh yes, the one picture of me.

James and I were able to sneak out while Teagan was down for his nap to enjoy the sun too in Hawaii. Connie and Jim stayed in the room with Teagan (03/21/11).

We would wake up early in Hawaii and walk along the beaches on this paved beach walkway. I caught the two of them having a little moment (03/21/11).

I took this picture of Teagan because I thought he looked so cute and grown-up. Not a baby anymore, my little toddler boy (03/02/11).

While Teagan was cutting his molars, he sometimes would not feel real great (03/04/11).

Because of all the rain we get out here, the Mom's Club started this indoor play area for the little ones, called Port of Play. As you can see they have an adult 3 wheeler that James jumped on while Teagan is ridding a 3 wheeler for his size too. I thought this was so funny! (02/21/11)

And there you have it!

California Fun

We have enjoying ourselves quite nicely down here. The weather takes some getting used to for us Northwesters, but other than that we are having fun. I got a few shots of James with his dad, Jim and Teagan. Because of the warm weather and Teagan's new fond enjoyment of water, we bought him a new water play pad. James snapped some pictures of Teagan playing on it while I was at the pool with James' parents relaxing!

James and Teagan having h'orderves.

Jim, James and Teagan.

Teagan in the truck on our way to the store.

I tried to spike his hair.

He is such a ham!

Later that day:

Ya know, why not.

Let's see if two will fit.

It's a statement, don't you think.

It doesn't stop him from playing.

Having fun in the water!

California!

We Made it! After a long 12 hour drive we arrived in Los Gatos. Teagan did great! I was anticipating a total and complete meltdown about an hour out, but it never happened. Yeah Teagan! We got in about 4:30pm, so yes that means we left Portland at 4:15am. When we arrived it was hot, high 80's which we are not used to, and Teagan quickly discovered the garden hose. We are all doing just fine with many pictures to come.

Cooling off with Daddy.

Oh yeah what fun!

Ohh, it is cold!

Yippee, water!

After cooling off and changing, we went to pick Apricots from the trees.

A boy, his dog, and a beer!

Both boys looking.

Ripe Apricots on the tree.

James picking some, and gave one to Teagan to try.

Oh boy, fresh apricot off the tree!

Yummmm!

The next day Grandma Connie surprised us with a fun gift. A water table!

Teagan watching carefully.

Here you go Grandma!

All done! Just adding water!

What a good job Teagan was doing, lifting the water can up and pouring the water in.

Next few photos contain nudity, you've been warned!

Relaxing after playing hard.

Sitting back with his drink close by!

Back to playing!

Birthday Gift from the Sullivan Grandparents

Teagan had fun opening up his gift from the Sullivan grandparents. Here is a video of the partial unwrapping of the gift, then pictures of the following events.

Hold onto me Daddy!
