SWIMMING!!!

Zion went swimming for the first time on Sunday... and he loved it!!! Momma loved it too! It was so special to have my little man in the pool with me! He's built like a swimmer... so we'll see! :) (His daddy would say he's build for basketball and most people would probably say he's built for football... lol.) He is going to be amazing at whatever he chooses to do. But he DID love the pool! :) We went with our friends Thea and Drake! Do you believe that Drake is a bit over 6 months older than Zion? Zion is bigger! :)

Dad's Hats

Baby It's Cold Outside

Such a cutie! It's consistantly been staying in the 30's or below here... BURR! We cannot wait to head down to some warmer weather. It's quite a chore to get Zion all bundled up! lol. He spreds his fingers when we try to put the gloves on!

A Boy & His Dog

Rascal & Zi are becoming close friends. Zion loves just staring at Rascal and gets SO excited when he actually gets to pet him. It's very sweet. Also, Rascal's latest thing is that everytime Zion cries (which is basically only at bedtime) Rascal will sit there and cry right along with him. It is quite funny and actually kind of sweet. He's a good dog. (Which, BTW, we feel very silly for EVER saying that Rascal was like our child! lol. How silly! There is NO comparison between a dog and your child. ) Also notice Zi's legs in these pics... they are huge and barely fir into this seat which is meant to be a high chair. lol!

Random Cuteness

All Spiffy

Zion is officially huge. These adorable clothes are size 12-18 month! Ah! So thankful that we are going to the states soon so that I can get some clothes that actually fit my adorable moose! :) And I love these shoes! So cute!!! Oh, and in this video it shows a very sleepy Zion. He is just so adorable when he's waking up! Well, he's adorable all the time! :)

Our Family

Here's our wonderful little family! :) Zion was just so cute this weekend that we couldn't resist taking a couple of family shots! :) Enjoy the little pumpkin and our sillyness! :)

Our Cake... :)

For Halloween our church had a family cake decorating competition! It was so fun! Brandon and I were the only ones doing it without any participating children, lol, but we still wanted to do it just because. And we had a blast decorating this Noah's Ark themed cake in 10 minutes! I even tried to make a dove, lol. Can you find? :) And it was boarded by gummi bears and animal crackers! :) We recently canceled our television b/c there is just so much crud on there and it can get rather costly and we have only Netflix. On Neflix our favorite show is Cake Boss, so we've been gleaning cake decorating tips from that! It was great fun to have the opportunity to decorate with lots of different ingredients! Fun fun! In this pic it had had plastic wrap over it, so it kinda got messed up... just so ya know. :) Zion had a grand ol time sleeping in his front pack on my chest. He is such a wonderful baby!!!

Mommy Time!

Got Candy?

Havin' Fun

Having lots of fun in his big boy toy! Such a cutie patootie! He really likes it. So smart!

Good Morning!

Zi woke up SO happy this morning! He's so proud. Waking up in his big boy pj's in his big boy bed! He's a big boy! Awww. He's so awesome! We are just so blessed!

Big Boy Pj's!

Loving my big boy pj's!!! These are size 12 month!!! AH! I thought they'd be big on him when I put them on last night... but of course not! Ah. Yesterday was his 4 month birthday! Time goes by so fast! It does not even seem right that we have a son this big already... he was just born! (Well, he's not supposed to be THIS big at this age) He had his Dr. appt yesterday and he is LITERALLY off the charts. Lol. He is over the 100th percentile! The Dr. came in laughing because he's the biggest 4 month old they've ever seen. He's exactly 20 lbs and 27 inches long! Big boy! But he's perfect and just really enjoys his milk. :) So now we're in the process of trying to find him clothes that fit. He's outgrown most of his clothes! Haha. Thankfully we will be able to go shopping in less than a month. Woohoo! So excited! We're gonna be able to spend 4 days with Grandma and Grandpa Miles, Thanksgiving with the Dertons, and Christmas with the Places. Woohoo! Zion's gonna be quite the experienced traveler! Okie Dokie. Off to some tummy time! Love you all! Thanks for reading!

Enjoyed a Breakfast w/ Mom & Dad

Kodiak Fall

Just thought I'd bring you along on our walk around the neighborhood today! This is all on our road about a minutes walk from our front door! Have I said that we are blessed lately? We certainly are! The fall colors are beautiful and we are enjoying these sunny days! Thank you Jesus!

Our Talkative Fellow

Such a happy boy!



"... stop taking pictures Mom."
He is just so darn cute! :) Every morning he just loves to sit on our bed with me and just have a little chat. He is awesome! We are so blessed!

Out In The Crisp Fall Air

Zion and I went for like a 4+ mile walk around base yesterday! He was so comfy in his stroller that I just kept walking! :) He's so cute!

Now & Then!

Wow how the time is flying! Look at the amazing difference in these pictures! That is the same hat!!! He's SO big! We sure don't have a little baby anymore! Oh what a cutie!
