Six Months Old!

September 29
These first sixth months with Holden have been so much fun, very busy and slightly crazy.
The time has also gone by so fast!
Newest milestone...Holden started crawling this week
and life has gotten that much more active and exciting.

We love you bigger than the sky, Holden!!

Jungle Party House


Owen put these Curious George stickers on the wall near his bed and for some reason
it seems like such a perfectly little boy/kid act that I couldn't resist leaving them up.

Our Seattle Trip!
At the airport. We ended up waiting all day (until 4:00p.m. for our 8:00a.m. flight) just to be told that our flight was cancelled and we'd have to come back the next day.  Owen and Holden were troopers, but it was pretty frustrating and we were so bummed to miss a day of our short trip to Seattle.

9/19 - And take two...we're back at the airport.  Holden did great on his first flight!

Woodland Park Zoo was a huge hit!





The Hodges and Castros joined us at the house we rented with the Taylors.
What a great group of kiddos :)









Brain Cancer Walk to support Ronnie.  


Owen got a cement truck painted on his leg at the face painting booth.
He was thrilled.



At Zeek's Pizza.
A Seattle institution… who doesn't love pizza??






Heading home.
The trip was definitely a success.
The weather was great, we spent time with good friends and we loved the city of Seattle.

It's still hot here!

Messes mean fun :)

It's time for solids!

September 28
In Santa Clarita before heading to Santa Barbara for the weekend.

Santa Barbara. 9/28-29
We went for a wedding and took advantage of the gorgeous weather to enjoy the beach and pier.
This was Holden's first trip to the beach and even though the water was soooo cold,
we couldn't keep Owen out of it.
So fun!

Avocados!



A couple of randoms :)


Sweet Potatoes!
Thus far, Holden seems to be into this whole eating solids thing.
