Learning to Climb...

Ever since Creighton has learned how to crawl he has been a busy, busy boy. That means mommy and daddy are always on the go trying to follow this little man around the house. One day while grandma was watching him he thought he would learn how to climb the steps. Within a few hours he had learned how to climb all the way to the top, with a little help from grandma of course. Creighton has such a fun personality and is actually a funny boy. I thought I would share this special event with you guys and I think these pictures portray Creighton's personality just perfect! 
 He is such a cheese ball!
Always a smiley boy!
Please excuse my dirty stairs and shirt/shoes in the background!
Over the shoulder look, JUST to make sure I was watching!
He looks mad in this picture but he is just really excited! 

This is my tall boy that can touch 4 steps at once!
So excited and proud of himself!
I love this face!
Creighton is now being goofy!

All done with his climb and very proud!
Creighton is at such a fun stage. He changes everyday and blows my mind how much and how fast he is learning new things. I have to say I am more exhausted now than I was when he was a newborn but get so much joy from this little person. God truly has blessed our family with this little man. We love you sweet Creighton and I am so thankful/proud to be your mama!

Thankfulness...

~4th of July~
This Holiday is truly one of my favorite times of the year. (Other than Christmas and Thanksgiving of course) I feel like the 4th of July is what really kicks of Summer. For the past two years we have had the privilege of going over to Wenatchee to stay with Scott's sister and her family. What a blessing! The 4th this year was a special one, last year at this time I was 7 months pregnant and this year we were able to actually enjoy it as a family of 3. When I think of this holiday a few things come to mind.

LIKE...
Sweet cherries that we are so lucky to be able to pick every morning!
Fun times with our niece and nephew, Alice and David!
Family time and fun bloopers!
How blessed we are!
Hand dipped chocolate covered pretzels!
Sweet David!
Our cheerful baby boy!
This sweet face!
and of course THIS sweet face!

We are so thankful for the many blessings in our lives. Most of all I pray we don't forget why we celebrate the 4th of July!
