We Made It!

After a very long two days, we completed our trek from Gilbert to Wichita. Thank heaven that we didn't have to go much further. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get into our apartment right away. So, we had live out of a hotel for a week. I do not recommend staying in a hotel, unless you are on vacation. Feeding Lily was challenging...hence the carrot storm.

The kids were real troopers. It isn't easy for kids to be stuck in a hotel for so long. We were all very stir crazy.

It was so helpful to have my amazing mom help out on our journey. I really don't know what we would have done without her. (Pull my hair out, most likely.) Anyway. We have alot of catching up to do, so let the posts begin....

We're Off To See The Wizard

We have set out on our adventure to Kansas. So, I will be out of commission for awhile. When we get up and going, I will be back.

NINE MONTHS OLD

9 months and still going strong

Height: 93%

Weight: 99.5% :0)

Nine reasons we love Lily:

1~ Her sweet dispostion (except while teething ;o)

2~ Her two very sharp teeth and the four more that are breaking

3~ Her crawling....I think

4~ The way she LOVES to watch Paige and Caleb

5~ That no matter how hard she is crying, if you sing Itsy, Bitsy Spider to her, she smiles

6~ The funny way she dances (think Night at the Roxbury)

7~ How FLEXIBLE she is (she doesn't get that from me!)

8~ She refuses to eat baby food, but will never refuse food from your plate

9~ Her thighs...need I say more?

Our sweet Lily is nine months old today. I really can't believe she has been with us almost a year.

If you give a baby a fruit snack....

...it might look like this.

And if she has a fruit snack.....you'll probably need to start a bath.

Welcome, little one!

Cash Michael is finally here. He weighed in at 7lbs 15oz and is 20" long. We are so happy that he came along a little early, so we can meet him before heading out. Caleb is especially happy to finally have a boy cousin born. Congrats to Ava, Mike and Rach. (Who looks way to good for just having a baby.) Can't wait to see you in a few days, Cash!

Neglectful Parent

I am so sorry Lily! I forgot to put this adorable picture of you on the Kingman post. Don't worry. Now you get a post of your very own. Love you!

Trip to Kingman

We were lucky enough to be able to spend some time with Grandpa Parry and Grandma Lettie this weekend. We had a wonderful time and got to see some of the finer sides of Kingman:

Caleb and Paige in the Hualapai Mountains

HUGE train at a local park=Caleb's Dream

Grandpa Parry vacuuming his lawn. (Yep, vacuuming!)

All aboard!

A beautiful day in the mountains.
