Week 7

This week we took a Valentines day trip with the Fores and Hanson's to a cabin on Stevens pass. We had a blast playing in the snow, going for a walk, and playing games all weekend. It was so great for Joshua and I to have a whole weekend together with no one doing any homework.

The one disadvantage to vacation with others is you just kind of assume someone is watching your kid. I was busy pushing Addie down the slide, everyone else was taking pics, spotting, and watching Mia. So when I turned,  I saw Judah had climbed half way up the big toy towards me to get another turn on the slide. Apparently he could not wait his turn for Evan to hand him up. This kid scares me and makes me proud at the same time. That was some serious determination.

Week 6:

This week was kind of an off week. Joshua had to work late several days and then worked Saturday and Sunday too. In addition to that Judah has started having a very rough time sleeping through the night and wants to get up and play. Silly boy. So this weekend when everyone else went out and played in the snow Judah and I layer around because I was beat. During one of our middle of the night play sessions he did learn how to get himself on the couch which he was pretty darn proud of. Not much else to report for this week.

Week 5:

The highlight of this week was the Super Bowl! We got together at my Dad's house and watched the game with family. It was so exciting to be able to watch our home team become Super Bowl champ for the first time!!!! We also were blessed that the cooks came down from Seattle and we were able to celebrate Tristan's birthday with him.

2014 Week 4

This week Joshua took his real estate exam and passed. He is now a broker with Keller Williams! On Saturday we took Judah out in the beautiful weather for a little walk and to play in the park. It was the first time he got to walk instead of ride in the stroller. What a blast!

Judah did not understand he needed to be on the sidewalk at first but he got the hang of it

2014 Week 3

This week Joshua and I decided to take a break from our school work and have a family trip to Mount Rainier. We wanted to take Judah tubing and snowshoeing. We were so blessed with wonderful weather. Judah LOVED tubing. He kept trying to call back in when we would take him out. I love that we have an adventurous boy.

On Sunday Joshua went to Nate's going away party and we finished the week watching the Seahawks Championship game at the Fore's. It has been a long time since we yelled so much. It was a GREAT time!

2014 week 2

This week we watched the Seahawks game at our friend Jen and Jd's. So fun watching your team when hanging out with friends. When we got back from their house we discovered that the wind storm had blown down our fence! Joshua had already fixed the fence twice and this time a post that had rotted broke in half.

Judah decided to hang out in the sink while I made dinner.

Also this week Joshua finished his real estate course. He takes the test in two weeks to get his license! We can not wait.

2014 Week 1

Happy New Year

We celebrated the new year with my sisters, mom, and Joy and Tony Cook at the Fores house. We had Tacos, played games and headed home at 1030 (so lame I know). We of course didn't take any pictures except one of Judah enjoying a taco. He is so silly these days. He refused to eat any of the individual items in his taco but was thrilled to eat them all wrapped together. 

This week Joshua also made contact with two of his cousins that he has not met. We found out that they live in Oregon and are hoping to meet them in person this spring or summer!

Judah is teething this week so he has been struggling with napping so we went on a saturday we went on a walk to calm him down. Oh the cuteness of this little guy. 

On Sunday Joshua stayed home with Judah to allow me to go get some homework done before returning to school. 

This past week Judah has blown us away with how quickly he picks up new things. It just all seemed to come together at once. Judah currently signs : Dog, please, thank you, all done, more, eat, milk, shoes, book, and teeth brushing. He knows a handful more but doesn't do them back yet. My favorite new thing he learned is how to pick up his dirty diaper, go to the kitchen trash and throw it in. Now if he could just learn to use the toilette....... I can dream right :)
