It's only been 4 months

Merry Christmas to all...if you're still reading:)

Happy Birthday Victoria

Happy one year birthday to Victoria. Can't believe it's already been a year. Reed is right behind her.

So it's only been 3 months +

I didn't realize it had been so long. I've been so busy, I've let the time slip away. I need to start posting something again. Here are a few from the last three months.

Tim turned the big 4 0 !!!


We went camping for the first time with Reed and our teardrop trailer in Death Valley the last weekend in February.

This is Reed at the dunes in Death Valley.

Reed got to play in a pool for the first time...he loved it.

And this is him tonight getting his bath. He's over 8 months now, he's growing so fast. He is crawling all over the place.

It's been too long

So it's been a very busy 6 weeks since I last posted anything here. So much going on, not much photo related. I'll post something soon, probably from my 10 month project in the garage and our trip to Death Valley.

Bath Time

Reed has been doing really well at sitting up. He especially likes sitting up during bath time. Here's one from this evening.

My boy is getting so big

Mommy had some school work to do tonight so Reed and I took about 20 minutes to take some pictures. He did really well and hardly complained.

Viviana Grace, my new niece

Welcome to the world Viviana.

Viviana was born yesterday evening. I was at home working in the garage and missed all the phone calls so I was not at the hospital when she came, but I rushed over when I finally found out.

Here she is at just a couple hours old.

And here is proud daddy watching as she's checked over by the nurse.

Proud big sister wanted in on a shot. Tell me Christina looks like she just had a baby...I think not.

The Holidays

I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. It was Reed's first Christmas, he slept through half of Christmas morning but I think he enjoyed watching everyone. Next year will be so much more fun with him actually getting involved.

May you all have a very blessed 2009.

Sabbath School

Last Saturday was Reed's first trip to Sabbath School. He slept through half of it but we think he liked being in a new place.

Headshots

About 6 weeks ago, Scott asked me if I'd take some headshots of him to submit for school. He is applying to some acting schools here in the LA area. So a couple weeks later we were finally able to connect on a Sunday morning to get this done. We met in Redlands and had a great couple of hours walking around finding spots that would work for what we needed. Scott's fiance, Wendy, also came along to supervise.

Thanks for coming out so early on a Sunday morning Scott and Wendy, it was fun getting to know you both a little better. And congratulations on the upcoming wedding.

Yogurt licious

Saturday night we killed a couple hours at Yogurtlicious with Brad, Jenn, and Victoria. Very good yogurt. We were there long enough to go back around to try more flavors. Try it out sometime, it's all self serve and they have tons of toppings, although they don't have carob like Nubi does:(

Andrew & Erin...the big day

I have to admit, these two looked pretty good for their big day, yes, even you Andrew:)
And may I announce, Lady Cook.
Congratulations you two, I hope you have many, many happy years together.

Andrew & Erin

Last weekend we traveled to Georgia for a wedding. The wedding was for Stephanie's 'little'cousin Andrew and bride, Erin. We didn't have a lot of time before the wedding but we did manage to get outside between down pours to get some engagement shots while Erin's toes froze. These two are great in front of the camera and have fun...smiles the whole time.

Here are a few of the engagement shots, the wedding day shots will come very soon, stay tuned.

Happy Pumpkin Day

From our pumpkin to yours, we hope you had a great holiday. Stay safe.

Finally posting more of Christy and her family

OK, so I finally got a chance to sit down at my computer and post a few more photos of Christy and her family. I hope you enjoy them.

On a side note, Christy made it through surgery and has been at home recovering. Please continue to keep her in your prayers as her recovery continues over the next year or so.

My Boy

I have not posted any pictures of Reed in a while, we've been busy taking care of him and just trying to get things done around the house. And maybe get some sleep in there somewhere. Parenthood is awesome!! Here are a few of him on our bed the other day trying to sleep...to no avail.

Fighter

Meet Christy, mother of Aidan. Christy will be going in for surgery at 7:30 in the morning for mouth cancer. She is young and this should not be happening to her. Here's my simple request, if you pray, do so for her and her family. For someone fighting cancer, she has the biggest smile around.

More of her and her family to come.

This weekend with visitors

This weekend we had some of my family in town. Since I have been busy holding my baby, I have not posted any pictures in 2 weeks so I figured this was a good time. Here are a few from the weekend.

Reed got his first full bath

Reed got his first full bath tonight. Now he is trying to fight the sleepiness. Another long night awaits us:)
