Sneak peek of family photos!!

We had a mini family photo session, due to rain, we will finish this weekend! I am so happy with the few I have seen so far, Erin is an amazing photographer, so lucky to have meet her!!! Check out her amazing work & creativity here is her website: www.erintolephotography.com Here is a little preview, ENJOY, I know I did!!!

First sickness & Visitors...perfect :(

Of course, when we have visitors, Faith gets sick!! She was sooo miserable and crabby all weekend! It started on Friday afternoon, she had a slight fever, which I atributed to teething, gave her some tylenol...and we moved on with our day! Woke up Saturday, had a little fever again, we had a busy day with Roxanne & family, went to the Oregon Museum of Science & Industry, then we went to a launching of one of the barges that Josh had been working on, Faith was crabby, but nothing too serious. THEN went to dinner, and she was MISERABLE, had a super high fever, luckily I carry Tylenol with me, so we barley made it through dinner, came home, checked her temp & it wasn't too bad, got her to bed, and snuggled it...then 1 am rolled around, and her fever was up to 102.5 :( needless to say we were up for a few hours with her, monitoring her fever & trying to make her happy! Sunday she was crabby, I kept her on tylenol all day so she never really got a fever, then Monday was basically the same, until Josh gave her a bath, and we noticed she had a huge rash! Tuesday morning the rash was way worse, so I called the doctor & we went in Tuesday afternoon! To my dismay he was very happy to see the rash (I was not)!!! He told us it was Roseola, which the rash means we are on the home stretch!!

I am so thankful it wasn't anything more serious. I am pretty sure Faith cried more this weekend than she has done her entire life. NOTHING made her happy, not even me :( I was really scared all day yesterday, I though for sure there was something seriously wrong with her! She seems to be MUCH better today, so thank you everyone for the thoughts & prayers from my Facebook status'! You are all much appriceated, I'm actually glad she wasn't that bad because of teething, because I don't think we could do that for every tooth!!

Hope everyone had a great weekend, I look forward to posting something positive for my next post!!

Trip to the coast!!

The weather here in Portland has been unseansonably warm (so I've been told) but we have really been enjoying the weather!! It has been in the 60s some days!! So since it was a beautiful weekend, we decided to take a trip to the coast!! I forgot how beautiful and breath taking the ocean really is! God can creat some beautiful things, I can't even express in words sometimes! We started off in Astoria, which was kinda of disappointing, it was beautiful, but no beach access, so we met up with Corree & Nick and ate some lunch in Astoria, then we headed down to Cannon Beach....BEAUTIFUL!!! We took some pictures & just walked along the coast, then headed back home! I can't believe we only live an hour and a half from the ocean, you can bet we will be going there a lot more, now that the weather is nice (hopefully it stays this way)!

Astoria :)
Cannon Beach!!



Last weekend we took family pictures, I am waiting to get them back, I am sure they turned out great & can't wait to share them with everyone! Hope you are all had an amazing weekend!!
XOXO,

The beginning of the end...;)

So, ever since Faith has starting sitting up, it is a whole new world to her. She has become a WIGGLE worm, so interested in everything! It is crazy, she has since started scooting, and just becoming a big girl! Where did time go, what happened to my little baby who fell asleep in my arms, and was content hanging out in one spot all day?!? It isn't all bad though...it is really amazing watching her grow and discover new things. She acts like she has the whole world figured out!!! Everything goes in her mouth, and no we still have no teeth :( I can feel one on the bottom tho, so I am hoping it breaks through this weekend!!

On another note, I have started working in the office here at the R.V. Park, just a couple hours a week, Faith stays home with her daddy, and although they have only done it one night, I think they both enjoyed it!! They went for a long walk & even stopped by to say hello!! It is great only being there a few hours at night, when Josh is home, and they are only a few hundred feet away!!!

Enjoy the pictures & the weekend!!!

Nana, Superbowl & Sitting up...WHO DAT?!?!?! ;)

Josh's mom was here over the weekend, just a quick trip, she is headed to Medford to see Roxy & the kids then to California, then Hawaii, then possibly back up here! It was really nice to see her, she hasn't seen Faith since she was a week old!!
We went over to Nick & Corree's for the Super Bowl, and Faith decided she was going to sit up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I freaked out, everyone else seemed a little less excited, but I was very very very happy, and Vanessa had her camera out, so we got pictures & VIDEO!!!!! Thank goodness for grandmas!!! enjoy!!!

Faith's 6 month Birthday EXTRAVAGANZA....

Ok so it wasn't really an extravaganza, and it was something we probably would have done either way, but it just happened to fall the day after she turned 6 months :)
On Saturday we got up & went out to breakfast, had some very yummy french toast, and Faith had a taste of her first strawberry! She LOVED it, I mean come on, who doesn't love strawberries!! Then we walked down the street and did a little pottery painting. Although we didn't paint pottery, Josh painted a frame, and Faith & I painted a tile and put her foot prints on them! It was really fun! And one of our first family fun things to do together, well other than our walks of course!!! After a crazy morning, we got home and took a nap, all of us! It was nice, then went to Corree & Nick's for some AMAZING biscuits & gravy (for dinner)!!!!!

Getting her foot painted!

We did better on the second one :)


I hope everyone had a great weekend too!!! We will have lots of pictures next weekend, because Josh's mom is coming in town! Our fist visitor to Portland, well other than Rochelle & Angelina, but they were only here for like a day, and we couldn't do anything really...sooo ya!

My Princess!


HAPPY FEBRUARY! Faith has a doctors appointment on Friday, I'll let everyone know how it goes then!!!
