Holiday pictures :)

Sooo...I know I haven't been posting much latley! Life is crazy crazy crazy...ok enough excuses! We are really enjoying living in Portland! There is so much to do, and not enough time in the world to get it all done! We have met Corree & Nick, which has been such a blessing, we hang out with them & their pugs, almost every weekend. Corree actually graduated with Josh, and we all have a lot in common! I can't wait for their wedding in August...anyone want to come watch Faith that weekend so we can celebrate ;) Corree took our holiday pictures.....otherwise we probably wouldn't have had any.

Aunt Corree & Uncle Nick ;)

I'll share a few with you, but wont bore you with everything.

Faith had her 4 month check up on the 2nd of December. The doctor we are seeing is really nice! BUT of course wants to see us again at the end of the month, to check her weight ;) I'm not to worried, just have to convince this doctor that she is just tiny!! She weighed in at 10 lbs 3 oz this visit, and 23.5 inches long!! Another new development this month is Faith started eating rice cereal...most days she likes it, some days she doesn't!! She LOVES putting her fingers in her mouth when I am feeding her...so most the time, she eats naked...haha! She still isn't rolling over, which the doctor seemed a little concerned, but she hates tummy time, so all she does is freak out when she is on her stomach, so I can't expect her to roll over!!

We have arrived...I'm sure you already know that ;)

Hello! I just wanted to update everyone! We are all here in Vancouver now!!!! Josh arrived last Wednesday, and we arrived on Monday!! Faith was amazing in the car!! For those of you who don't know, Rochelle & Angelina helped Faith & I get up here, she is the BEST sister in the world, we couldn't of done it without them. We left Saturday (the 7th) around 8:30 pm and got to my dad's house in San Jose around 4:30 am, slept for about 2 hours, and hung out with my dad, Maha, Anna & Jared for the day, had an amazing dinner, and woke up Monday morning around 5:30 and hit the road around 6:30 am, we stopped in Medford, OR to visit Rox & Griffin, for lunch, then got home around 6:40 pm!!

I love it here, so far, but haven't gotten out much, so I'm excited for this weekend, we are going to adventure out, since Josh is off!! I'm really excited, and Faith is really happy to be home, she is sleeping really good in her bassinet, she didn't sleep great after we left Texas, because of the time change, AND day lights savings!! She is napping now, we've tried to keep her on a schedule, and have done pretty good!

OHH ya, and Faith is teething!! I couldn't believe it at first, but my mom & sister said that Angelina teethed early, and so did we (Chelle & I)!! So we've been dealing with that also! Ok, here are a few pictures :)

Welcome to the world Griffin!!

Faith has a new cousin!!! YAY..Roxanne (Josh's sister) had her 9 lb 9 oz baby boy on October 30th!! He is soo cute, and cracks me up, even though him & Faith are 3 months & 1 day apart, I think Griffin will be watching over Faith, since his likley already bigger than Faith!! I love it!!! He is sooo cute!! I can't wait to meet him & spend Thanksgiving with them!! Good job Roxy, we LOVE YOU!!!!!

Going home~

Catch up....

WOW it has been a bit since I've posted :( Life has obviously been crazy crazy crazy!!!! I am at my mom's house right now, until Saturday, then on Saturday night Chelle, Angelina, Faith & I are packing up and driving...yes I said driving, and yes we are crazy, to San Jose to spend the day & night Sunday with my dad, then continuing our drive to Vancouver! I have the best sister in the world!! I can't wait to get up there, it is so crazy moving to a place I have never even seen! But we are super excited, it will be nice to settle down and have a real home, find a church, join a gym, and really establish ourselves!! You may be asking...how did you get to Vegas...well Faith & I flew up here on Friday afternoon, then Tim flew down to Texas on the red eye Friday/Saturday am, and met Josh & drove up here. Josh drove his welding truck with the trailer, and Dogs in the trailer ;) and Tim drove my truck & motorcycle trailer, they are AMAZING drivers, and made it home around 2:00 AM Sunday morning! Then Josh stayed the night here, and headed out early Monday to Reno, and stayed the night there, and is almost to Vancouver right now!! He is my hero, he is starting his new job tomorrow!! Faith & I miss him TONS, but will be there soon!!

Well in the mean time, here are some pictures from halloween, and our visit here so far!! I PROMISE to post more when we get up to WA!

Angelina Lovin on some Faith burrito!!!

YaYa & her girls!!! :)

PaPa & Faith fell asleep watching football!!

Happy HALLOWEEN!!!!!! We were both pretty ehausted!! Faith actually fell asleep trick or treating :(

Pumpkin Patch!!!

Last night we went to the pumpkin patch...I didn't want to get a pumpkin, but Josh insisted...and now it is still sitting in my truck!! Ohhhh well...he wants me to cook the seeds...but I don't see that happening!! Here are some pictures, Faith was in an unusually BAD mood yesterday, and took maybe 2 SHORT naps...and was grumpy & eating every hour & a half...I am thinking maybe a 3 month growth spurt! Here are some pics from the Patch :)

Not much to post...ok maybe I had more than I though....

We have had a fairly boring week, we had our anniversary on Wednesday, and didn't do much just got eachother cards, which is perfect for me! We (Josh) got a permanant job offer in Washington State...its a long story, which I will spare you, we are debating on going there still, and just praying on it to see what God has in store for us...October always seems to bring changes for our family though!

Faith has started to really life her head, it started last Monday...she gets MAD when she laying down & can't sit up, it is too cute!! Fall has really come here in North Texas, which I LOVE, but wasn't really prepared for with Faith, so I'm hoping she really starts fitting into her 0-3 month clothes!! We went to the doctor on Friday, she grew 2 INCHES, but only weighs 8 lbs 15 oz, but the doctor isn't concerned because she is staying steady in her percentiles, and it isn't decreasing in her weight! I was VERY happy to hear that!! She is just a little baby...which is fine with me!!! Next week is a busy week with our mommy & me group...Wednesday through Saturday we have events, and Saturday we are all going to the Pumpkin Patch, including all the dads!! I can't wait to post pictures!! Here are some pics from this week!!

Enjoy!

Date Night!!

Josh & I had a date night last night!! our first OFFICIAL one, we went out and left Faith home with Rochelle when she was like 3 weeks old, but last night we took Faith to our new friends Sara & Mia's house! Mia is one & sooo CUTE...it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, and Faith did great, she even took a bottle from Sara...which she NEVER does for us!! We went out to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary, a few days early, but it was GRRRREAT!!! We went to the Movie Tavern, it is pretty much our favorite new place!!! Then afterwards we went & got Faith some stuff at babies r us...she needed some warm 0-3 month clothes!!! I had to get her something for being such a good girl while we went out!! We took some family pictures before we went out!!
