JOSH GROBAN!!!!!

My mom and dad gave us Suite tickets to see Josh Groban. Patrick and I had a blast and I haven't had that much fun or felt like a teenager (the way I did tonight) in a while. It was awesome and reminded me of old times when Patrick and I actually used to get out on Awesome dates alone.

 The food was Phenomenal and this was just the appetizer portion. I didn't take pictures of the main dishes. It was YUMMY!!

 AND INTRODUCING....JOSH GROBAN.

 He brought tears to my eyes like only Josh can. I loved every minute!

  He is an amazing performer!!!Thanks Mom and Dad for making this night possible for us. WE LOVED IT!

Cannon Beach

We wanted to go to beach and we wanted to take friends with us. We decided to take our really good friends Nina and Stacy and their son Josh. They have been so awesome since Anderson has been born to babysit him whenever we need someone, even on 5 minutes notice. (not joking) We wanted to treat them to a fun weekend.

 We headed down to Tillamook for some Creamery Fun.

 We also took them to our FAVORITE RESTAURANT in Canon Beach. The Lumberyard!!!

 This was the Sunset our first night at the Beach

 ANDERSON'S FIRST TIME ON THE BEACH!

 He loved it. He loved the feel of the sand between his toes. He loved walking in the water It was a Beautiful 80 degrees.

 Cuddling with Mommy!

 SUCH A HAPPY GUY!!!

 He got all nice and sandy and even played with some Kelp:)

 Patrick and Josh Built a Sand Castle with a Mote!!!

 We went for a Night Walk on the Beach. It was a little chilly, but we had fun.

Patrick and I decided it would be fun to host a 14 year old boy from Nanjing China.

His first night here we had a party/FHE and he got to meet some of our friends:)

 We also took him to the Farmer's Market.

 We wore him our most days and he would fall alseep anywhere. Every time we got him into the car he would fall asleep. Not many people can keep up with our busy lifestyle:P

 We had FHE at the duck pond. It was so much fun.

 We took him to play Frisbee Golf and to Costco for a Churro and he also tried a sno cone for the first time at the Newsom Party.

 2 weeks went by pretty fast. We had a lot of fun. He is such a good kid.

Anderson is 8 months Old

We just love this little Bubby!!! I can't even imagine life without him. I look forward to every minute with him and just love being his mommy!!! he is such a happy baby. I am still not sure how I got so lucky. He fills my days with joy and laughter and he warms my heart with his personality and smile. He has such a kind heart and I don't know where I would be without him in my life!

He is Crawling EVERYWHERE and PULLING HIMSELF UP TO EVERYTHING!

 HE DOES NOT LIKE COLD WATER or LOUD FOUNTAINS or NOISES

 HE LOVES HIS SIPPIE CUP!

 HE LOVES TO GET INTO EVERYTHING AND BE PART OF THE GROUP...he is always smiling and is always up for fun adventures:)

He is still mostly on Formula. I feed him rice cereal every few days, puffs or cheerios on a occasion. We only feed him if he is interested in what we are eating and then I pass him a few puffs. HE LOVES THEM and is so proud to feed himself:) We are starting him off slow and working very hard to hold off on feeding him solids until he is a year. Only 4 months to go Bubby! Once we get the go ahead from our doctor to start him on steady solids, I am thinking it will be hard to stop him...lol.

He has started to feed himself a bottle. It's convenient, at times:)
