What We've Been "Working" Up To

WORKING IN THE YARD:



Thatcher loves playing in the dirt, eating it too. Mmmmmm. He crawled into a hole Paul had pulled a fence post out of. It was just his size. It scared me but he just smiled and sat in it proud as can be.


WORKING OUT (very sporadically):

Paul and I have been trying to do this Tony Horton program called P90X. It is pretty much a man workout but I never do anything else so I join in. This is a pretty embarrassing picture. Paul honestly took it without me knowing. I quickly put a stop to that. So then I decided I would document or blackmail our attempts at getting fit!



Thatcher, on the other hand, is not currently enrolled in P90X.


WORKING AT THE OFFICE FROM HOME:

Paul has unfortunately been very busy lately. So he often brings his work home. It is not too fun but at least he's home with us and not still at work. We love him and are very thankful for all the hard work he does for our family. He is the best dad and husband in the world!

My New Look

I am embarrassed to post a picture of myself on the blog...BUT...my mom, Mandi, and others have requested to see my new look. So here it is. My good friend Yeni dyed my hair for me with some good ol' fashioned ghetto grocery store hair dye. It is a little darker than I anticipated. When I look in the mirror I feel like I am wearing my Halloween witch wig. Oh well, I think it will just keep getting lighter so I'm not too worried. And it's growing on me too (no pun intended).

Summer Time

Below are a few pictures from our summer happenings:




Thatcher was able to meet aunt Melinda, Kylie, and Narci. We met them in the airport as we were on our way to the Mounts Family Reunion. They were flying into Salt Lake for Nick & Alison's wedding. I was so glad we were able to see them, I only wish we could have spent more time together.






The Mounts Reunion was a lot of fun! I only wish it could have lasted longer, time really flew. We spent time visiting, cooking, eating, rafting, riding horses, and a quick jaunt to Pikes Place downtown Seattle. It was fun flying with everyone, my parents, Tom, Kricket, & Annie. Thatcher and Annie were very good!





Thatcher loves sitting in his chair and eating dinner with us. It is a lot of fun. We just feed him what we're eating. I haven't purchased any baby food yet. I have made quite a bit of my own, carrots, zuchini, squash, and cantelope. I just cook it then puree it in the blender. Next I am going to tackle apples. Thatcher seems to like it.




This is Thatcher's latest sleeping position - bum in the air. It's pretty cute. I was telling my mom about it and she said this is how I always slept. I guess it's genetic!





Thatcher has discovered my jewlery chest. He likes going through the drawers and finding all sorts of treasures! We love watching him learn and grow. He is so much fun and we feel so blessed to have him in our lives!

Six Months Already

So I am a little behind with this post. Thatcher is now seven months old. Ooops. I've been super busy... yard work, laundry, new job, Thatcher's crawling (video coming soon), and more!
p.s. Thanks to Lynn for doing these pictures.
