Big Day!

We did a lot today. This morning we met up with friends at their home, the McNulty's, who have two boys, Jackson age 3 1/2, and Kellan age 22 months. So Teagan had a good time playing until he got tired. Then we went home for Teagan's nap then off to James' Grandma, Kathleen's house for fun in the pool. It was a big day for Kiely too, she got shaved! It has been so warm and with er long coat she got it cut, and seemed to be enjoying herself with the water.

Off to Grandma Kathleens:

First time in the pool this year.

I've gotcha.

Woooo, kick your feet!

Floating on his belly.

Kick, kick, kick!

Not too sure.

After getting out of the pool:

Nice hat huh.

Hey those are Mommy's sunglasses.

What a good helper.

Ah the hose.

Here Daddy, have some on your hands.

Kiely's new do!

Grandma Kathleen and Kiely.

Back to the hose.

How about water on your feet.

Water in Teagan's eyes.

James was blowing bubbles into the water.

Oh get it Ki!

That's all folks!

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.

Oh boy, fresh apricot off the tree!

Yummmm!

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

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!

Back to playing!

Cousin Kloden

Three weeks ago James cousin Jared, and his wife, Amy were in Oregon visiting from Missouri. Amy's sister Jenny got married out here and we couldn't pass up an opportunity to go and see them. Their son, Kloden, was born 10 days after Teagan, so Amy and I have had fun talking about being pregnant together and how we are handling parenthood. Because of the distance, we don't get to see one another very often. It is fun when they come out here to visit Amy's family, who are originally from Oregon. We were able to meet up for lunch and go back over to Jenny's new house for the boys to play. Teagan was very tired and had had a long day already by the time we saw them, he fell asleep in the car on the way to their house and we woke him up, but Kloden and Teagan seemed to have a good time together.

Amy took a few pictures of us (she has a side business taking wonderful photos), and James did too. You see I am looking at Amy and Teagan is looking at his Daddy.

Jared, Kloden and Teagan

Yes, Kiely came too.
Kloden loved watching Kiely get the ball, he would laugh and run to get her.

Kloden exploring the grass too.

Now it was Teagan's turn to play with Kiley.

Kloden, what did you find?

The cousin's exploring these rock stairs.

Teagan found a nice stick.

Waving the stick around.

Watch where you step!

Thanks Kloden!

It was very cute to watch these guys interact with eachother.

The cousins playing with Kloden's blanket.

Both of them getting into things they shouldn't be touching.

We had fun visiting with the Kuntz family, we hope to see you guys again soon!
