Brock driving the John Deere in papa's field

Here's proof of it: Brock driving the John Deere in the field behind my parent's house. Trevor pointed where to go and Brock did it! Its not a small steering wheel either!

On the move!

Well there's no sound, but I had to try uploading a video, and it worked! This is for you Lacey so you can see the little man on the move! I'll have to get one of him pulling himself up (on everything) for you next!

no work = time with my nephews

Can you say thunder thighs?!?!?

Bryce's new favorite place to pull himself up is the glass double doors that look out onto the patio and the back yard

A very happy boy with cRaZy hair and a massive smile :)

Complete with 2 front teeth :]

Attempting to get him to look at the camera and smile...

you're crazy auntie chelsea - Bryce

Chillin outside with Toby and dad

Oh and Tasha found some new pajamas for Brock, introducing: SPIDERMAN!

This was right before he ran outside to show dad his cool new pjs

We barbequed terriyaki chicken Friday night, but before we ate Trevor took out the John Deere and...let Brock steer!

He did so great! No power steering and an open field is great for any 3 year old ;)

Trying to get a family picture...Brock not so much into looking at me and smiling

Welcome home Grady Asamanew!

On Sunday night we met Blake, Liss, Taylor and Grady at the Bellingham airport to welcome them home!

Grady and Lissa :) Check out that smile!

Dad trying to teach Grady patty cake
We just can't get enough of this precious baby boy!
He was taking it all in and checking everything out! Including the luggage coming out :)

Getting ready to with mom and dad - new crocs and all!

First time in a carseat...

He was a little unsure at first but he did great

Lissa and Taylor ready to take Grady home!

We are all so thankful everyone is home safe and sound! Guela and Nana flew into Bellingham yesterday and came home to roses and American food :) Of course Guela and Nana were on a completely different schedule and were wide awake while we were all headed to bed. I think Blake's email says it best : PTL (Praise the Lord) His plan is best!

Weddings, Boulevard Park, the derby and more!

Last weekend was a first for me, one of my friends tying the know and getting married! Sara (Timmer) now Sara Kasch got married in Arlington and Katie, Amy, and I road tripped down together :)

Waiting for the ceremony to start!

Me and Katie

The cakes that Rachel and Charlie made (looked gorgeous and tasted amazing!)

The gorgeous bride

The girls and the newlyweds

Since the wedding got out super early Katie, Amy and I went to Boulevard to walk around and take pictures of the sunset!

Love these girls!

Dad: "Whose going first?"

While I was in the water getting my ski on Brock told me, "You can do it Chelsea, its your turn!"

Brock swimming with mom :)

He wasn't quite ready for the kneeboard, but he was excited to use his "kickers" as Shannon put it

Trevor had to jump in and join too

One tired boy.

We got Danelle up on doubles!

So Trevor had to try too...

Well hope ya made it to the end of this one, it was a great night and we were definitley ALL sore the next day!
