Welcome Baby Teya

Our good friends Carla and Raf were blessed with a beautiful baby girl named Teya. It's funny, I still think that Chloe is so small, but compared to a newborn - she is positively a tank!! Chloe was very excited to meet her new friend, who - at seven months her junior, beats her hands down in the hair department! The day was filled with endless chatter of babies, raising girls together, and how one day - these two will be breaking hearts all over town. ;)


"Chloe, meet Teya"


so peaceful

Chloe's two bottom teeth are almost all the way up now! Thankfully, teething hasn't really bothered her so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the rest of them come up without too much trouble!!

Hike to Lower Falls at Golden Ears

Steve and I decided to show Chloe the lower falls at Golden Ears Park. She's just like her Daddy, and LOVES the outdoors!!

Can I go in the pool???

Chloe really wanted to cool off by taking a dip in our friend's backyard pool. She even tried to enlist the help of her friend Parker!



"cool man... a pool!!"


"it just looks so inviting..."


"Hey Parker buddy, do you think your parents would take me in that pool??"


"Mom, she's getting aggressive!"

All dressed up

I bought this little outfit for Chloe when she was just a newborn. I couldn't wait until it actually fit her, and I'm so surprised that she actually keeps the hankerchief on!!

Cheerio fun

Eating cheerios is no easy task for a 6 month old... but this little girl is determined!

wassss up

what a face to wake up to!

Busy little bee

Chloe is so busy lately - crawling around and pulling up on anything she can get her hands on. It started with climbing up on Steve when he would play her on the floor and now she is pulling up on the couch and even her crib! A lot of pulling up also means a lot of falling down! OUCH!

Camping at Golden Ears

Sorry, I have been seriously slacking on updating the blog lately! I promise to keep on it, but honestly... can you blame me? This summer has been so great and we have been out nearly every day taking advantage of the weather! A couple of weeks back Becky and I took the kids camping for a couple of days. We had a great time hanging out at the lake, roasting marshmallows by the fire, and trying to keep the chipmunks from stealing all our food. At least we didn't see any bears!
