Harvest Party & Pearly Whites

Sean got to attend his first Harvest Party last night - It was CRAZY! Our church was swarming with what seemed like thousands of babies, toddlers and little kids in costume. It was so fun to see everyone dressed up, but it kind of felt like a scene out of a Christopher Guest movie. Welcome to parenthood I suppose! The babies all looked so cute, here is Sean (in the costume his grandma gave him while I was still pregnant) and Sean with some of his bigger friends:





Sean also got his first two teeth this past week. I guess this means he is ready to start eating solids . . . which also means a fun video in a few days. He turns 6 months on November 1st - I can't believe how fast it has gone, and how much fun we are having each day! We treasure this little boy and every moment God gives us with him!

woof woof

So the other night we were reading one of Sean's books, which he loves doing, and he was really getting a kick out of the animal noises I was making to go along with the pictures. He smiled at the roar of the lion, liked the meow of the cats, and chuckled at the chirping of the birds. But when we turned to the page with the puppies. . . .well take a look for yourself:

I also wanted to post a beautiful picture of Ryan's brother and sister in law at their wedding. The couple looked so beautiful and the night was straight out of a fairy tale. Thank you Will and Stacey for making our trip so special and for letting us share in celebrating your wedding!

The family (minus me)

many people say Sean looks like my brother Tim, but I think I can see some resemblance to his Uncle Will as well . . what do you think????

new tricks

Sean - that kid is crazy!

We are still working on 4 rings:


Speaking of new tricks, Sean rolled from back to belly today! Yet another mile-stone I get to obsess over as a new mom.

Wedding and a plane ride

We just celebrated Ryan's brother's wedding this last weekend out on the east coast - it was such a great weekend and we were blessed to be around Ryan's family. The wedding was amazing and Will and Stacey are a beautiful couple. Thank you for being such great hosts and for throwing a great party! This trip was also Sean's first plane ride and he did awesome. He is such a great baby. We gave him the unofficial title of best dressed for the weekend. Here are some pictures of the events and beautiful scenery
Sean loved Will & Stacey's dog Bailey


Sean and Grandpa Ed outside the winery where the wedding took place - it was beautiful!


Here is Will and Stacey at the rehearsal - the patio to the right is where the reception was and the wedding ceremony took place at the bottom of the hill - it was a long walk for the bride!



Wedding day

Don't they look good?!?!?!

Getting ready to head back home

Hey, check this out!!!!!

Oh Canada

We recently took a trip to visit Ryan's parents as one of their horses as well as Ryan's Aunt & cousin's horse both qualified for the Canada Cup (the biggest quarter-horse race of the season). We had so much fun and wished that we could have stayed longer. Sean is so much more aware of his surroundings than he was last time we went out to see them, so it was fun to watch him interact more and react towards the horses and events. Here are some pictures from our trip, and just a couple cute ones for fun!

KR Check the Hawk took first place in the consolation race, here are a couple pics of Sean and his second cousin Rylan enjoying the winnings

KR Montana Cartel (the horse on the left) took second in the Canada Cup.

These red long-johns were given to Sean by Ryan's parents - that are pretty darn cute and kind of make Sean look like a Dr. Seuss character. Sean loves being upright in this Bumbo seat Chris and Rebekah let us borrow!
The bum-flap is a little hard to button over his bulky diapers . . . .
Something about kids in pjs just makes you smile

Still loving bath-time!

Rebekah

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
We love you love you love you! You are such an inspiration, example, friend, and I cherish you more than you can know! Have a great birthday!!!!!!!!!

Sean-nese

So Sean is talking more and more all the time. Unfortunately we cannot understand a word he is saying. So if any of you out there speak baby, feel free to let us know what he is talking about. Regardless if you can understand or not it is still pretty dang cute!

Holla

New look yay yay! So what do you think??? I even got links up - check em out!
Ditto!

So proud

If you know Ryan and I at all you will understand why this next video makes our hearts leap.

Hopefully we will get a good video of him lifting his little weights next!

On another exciting note, Ryan and I celebrated our 5th anniversary last Friday. I know I have said it before but Ryan is such an amazing husband, and this has increased ten fold since we have had Sean. We have had so much fun in these last 5 years, I can't wait to expreience the next five (and the five after that, and after that etc.) with him.

These are the beautiful flowers he brought home to me.

I love you Ryan!!!
