Family Pictures

Cambria Whitby was so great to take these of us a little while ago, and I think she did an awesome job, and we had a lot of fun! Thank you Cambria!!! We also got some of Chandler for his One year old Pictures. We are hoping to get more of him some time, with Cambria's cool props she has. So more 1 year pictures to come!

Chandler's 1st birthday party

Chandler turned 1 over a month ago, and I am finnally getting around to posting the pictures from his party. I'm a little behind, I know...

I made a barn cake, which we put onto a sheet cake, and then made all these little cupcake animals. All the kids gathered around and helped him open his presents, one of them being a shirt that says "Big brother" which was our way of announcing there's another baby on the way for us!

All day, Chandler kept reaching towards the bright cupcakes and was all disappointed when I would pull him away. So here he is finally with a coveted cupcake.

After the party, Chandler had a good time playing in the streamers with Grandpa McGary!

Happy FIRST Birthday, Chandler! (once you open, click the left arrow to move in chronological order. You can zoom in by pushing the up arrow in the middle) Sorry this doesn't give me the option to change title font color.

Seattle

We were able to go to Seattle last week, since Jason needed to take a test up there; it was really fun to get to spend some time together as a family-we had not really gone anywhere for a long time.  The first day we went downtown and walked around, making our way to Pike's place market, which is always full of life and good food.  I sound like a travel brochure...The next day we went up to city center, and peeked into the windows of the museums that we were too cheap to pay to get into.  Based on what we saw from outside, we don't feel like we missed much though.    
The first picture above is Chandler doing so well on the drive and getting his first glimpse of the big city. I like to think he actually registered what he saw...but he was probably more interested in his cheerios if we're being honest.  He does love his big boy car seat though!!

 Chandler loved chasing the seagulls around everywhere we went.  This was at Seattle Center.  At Pikes's place market, we let him out to walk, and there were pigeons inside there that he thought was great fun to follow around and around in circles.

 Right under the Space needle

 Loving the sweet n' tarty goodness of his first Jamba Juice! (Strawberry surf rider-mmmmmm!!)

 Getting a Piggy back ride at pikes place.

...Still slurping away on what he thought was HIS Jamba juice.  He wasnt too happy when we pryed it from his fingers...


We had a lot of fun on our little trip!  Chandler was really acting like a big boy, and was so funny and lots of fun to be with.  Yay for family vacations!!

Chandler is getting big!!

I really need to do an actual post, but I havn't had the patience to sit down long enough to do that lately.  So for now, once again here are just a few pictures of Chandler.  I need to get a video of him crawling all over the place, and pulling up on everything.  He has been crawling for about a month now, and just learned to crawl up steps! uh oh. 

6 months old and already learning to drive!  By the way, this was just on our driveway-we really do buckle him in when we actually go places!

Chandler LOVES the water!

Just woke up, and sportin' a tweaky hairstyle while spreading scrambled eggs all over the place. 7 months old

Multnoma Falls

I finally got around to fixing this post.  I started it and got distracted, and didn't realize I had posted this single picture.  So I will add more now, and elaborate... 

We went up to Multnoma Falls (a while ago), on the way home from staying at my sister Nancy's house in Vancouver!  It was a very warm day, and the mist from the falls felt so good. These are just a few pictures at different points along the trail.

Family Pictures

We decided one day to go over to Jason's parents' house and have his mom take some pictures of our little family.  I think she did a pretty darn good job!  It was funny looking over the pictures at Chandler's faces, ranging from anger and annoyance, to confusion.  He looked like Calvin from Calvin and Hobbes.  I don't know how many besides my family are familiar with those comics, but they are pretty cute, and his parents can never get him to smile for pictures.  He's always pulling some kind of face.  He also has a huge amount of energy, smarts, and imagination-and those who have seen Chandler can attest to it that he is  VERY active!  He can't even crawl yet, but I already know he is going to be a busy boy.  So if you go read the Calvin and hobbes comics, you will have a pretty good idea of how Chandler might be.  So here are some that were cute or funny of him, but not neccesarily the ones to frame for other reasons.

Cute little smile...but Jason is blinking

 He is being such a good boy and sitting up soooooo tall!

K guys, getting tired of all these pictures...

Really, another one?!
