Play time

Payton no longer sits in his exe-saucer. He only wants to play along side it. Can we call Bruiser yet?

I am ready to walk!

Grandma Jeanie bought Payton the cutest crocodile walking toy. The mouths of the crocodiles open and close the faster Payton pushes the toy. Now we just need to teach him how to turn the toy around.

Congrats to Mr. & Mrs. Brandon and Rachel Arteaga

Travis, Payton and I attended Trav's cousin Rachel's wedding this past Sunday. The ceremony was at a gorgeous location on the UW campus and the reception was at the Bath house in Golden Gardens park. What an adorable couple Brandon and Rachel make. Their friends and family had such wonderful things to say about both of them. We wish them both the best. Congrats again to Brand and Rachel Arteaga!

I didn't get a good picture of the Bride in her goreous wedding gown but I did get a shot of her in her amazing reception dress.

Payton Update

Payton is now 10 months old and he is all over the place! He is crawling, pulling himself up onto everything and eating anything he can find on his plate or on the ground! I know that once he starts walking we are going to have our hands full. Each day he does something new that makes us laugh or gasp, so he is keeping us on our toes. I can't believe it has been 10 wonderful months! I could not imagine life without him! Here are some photos from the last couple of weeks. Hope you enjoy!

My love bug!
Such a sweetheart when he wants to be.First Seahawks preseason game!Uncle Andy and cousin Siena were over cheering along!Payton had so much fun playing with Uncle J! He looks so innocent...
We are going to have to teach Payton to play nicer with girls. Such an angel.
Payton got a hold of the place mat on the table and pulled Dad's lunch straight to the floor all over himself.

Sorry for the bad blogging! We have been so busy this past month. Payton has had lots of play dates with his cousins Siena and Sophia. And more play time with his buddies Isabel, Cohen, Caiden, Jake, Maddy & more at a BBQ for Stass and Kev while they were in town, so great to see them, we love you guys! This month we went hiking with Andrew, Carlie & Siena to Rattlesnake Ridge. We spent a day in Gig Harbor to wish Auntie Leah farewell on her return trip to France earlier this month. While we were there we went boating and enjoyed Grandma Jeanie and Grandpa Kal's beautiful home on the water. We went to an engagement party for Angie and Ben. JD & Brooke (Shinn) Burns came into town one weekend. We went to dinner with them one night and spent the day at the M's game with them! So fun to have them in town for a visit, we miss them! Last week we were at Vashon Island with my family cooling off from the 100 degree weather and visiting Grandma Sue and Grandpa Andy! And we watched the Blue Angels practice on Friday, so amazing but a little too loud for Payton. We have been all over the board lately. Hope you enjoy our July Summer pictures!
