Christmas Tree Day

This last Saturday our family went up to the mountains to cut down our Christmas trees. It was a blast. Dad and Mom, Matt and Mel, Steve and Ali, Glade Ben and Eowyn, Michelle, Janessa, and Matts brother Aaron and his wife Caela all made the treck.


This is a beautiful river we passed on the way up. Had to put the chains on the trucks so we took a pic.


Eowyn and Dad hanging out on the way up. (We were in the mountains going like 5 miles per hour. Don't worry if she's out of her car seat. If we go over the edge the whole gang ends up in heaven so...)


Eowyn and Dad looking for just the right tree.


We found that chain saw in the snow and were like, "sweet a free chain saw!" Then we knawed through the tree with our teeth. Wanted to do it like the Indians.... Did they celebrate Christmas?

Kidding the chain saw was Matts and Glade smoked through that tree in 2 seconds.

Our "we found a wicked tree" pose..... Wicked as in SWEET, and not as in pegan.

Picture with the pups. Maverick was like a ninja in the snow. You couldn't see him cause the snow was deeper then he was tall. Lilly, the polar bear, had the snow stick to her fur and she was shivering like crazy. "Pretty cute, the dogs were." - Yoda

The Guys.

Grandpa and Grandma hugging by their tree. Thank God we have pulled them back into the light (getting a real tree instead of a fake one) for at least this year.

The Gals.

Mom was being a grinch so she had to roast some mallows with a 39 and a half foot mallow stick.

This is the whole gang that went..... all in one truck....kidding it was three trucks.

Family Pic.

Our little camo bear.

New Eowyn Desktop

Here is another Eowyn Desktop.

Its a Christmas/winter version. These are the newest pictures we got taken of her.

She is now over 4 months old and rolled over for the first time 2 days ago. Video of that to come!!!

Eowyn's First Fall Festivities!

We went to Spokane for a visit with our wonderful friends Erin and Ryan, Jesse and Alison and their new edition Eleanor. We had so much fun and WAY to many pumpkin donuts!!


Eowyn and Eleanor are one month a part and were little Beourne buddies at the pumkin patch.


They had fun standing on the pumkins with their dads there to steady them

Eowyns FIRST Laugh!!!

Last night Galadriel and I were playing with Eowyn and she was being real cute and smiley so I said hun grab your cell phone lets do a video of her for your phone. We started the video and captured her very first LAUGH!!!! It happens at 3 and 4 seconds in the video and its just a little giggle but its so cute and her first one!!! Click on the picture to view the video.

1st Ever Eowyn Desktop

For those of you that would like to have Eowyn as your desktop (i.e. Grandmas, Grandpas, aunts, uncles, elves, or if you think she is just plain cute) then click on the image to enlarge and then right click the large image and select...set as background.

These pics were taken at baby's r us for a halloween costume contest.

GO EOWYN, DANIEL, HANNAH, or SAMUEL!!! (for the contest)

hawaii

Trust me, Eowyn loves kisses. Especially from her momma and beautiful Aunt Alivia!


Sam had to join the love, he is such a wonderful brother and uncle


I can't believe Cara and I got to vacation in Hawaii together!! It was so much fun! This was Eowyn and Daniel's first time in the water. Eowyn is borrowing Daniel's swim shorts : )

They are destined for eachother. Aunt Alivia is responsible for Eowyns toenails

I love my mom! It was so good to see her. She is such a wonderful grandma to my daughter. It is so hard that they live far away : (

Alivia was Eowyns second mom over the 10 days. Here she is holding Eowyn in the outfit that her aunt Alison bought her from Maui last month

This was at a resort in Ko Olina, we acted like we were guests ; )

My brothers are the greatest, we had a lot of fun snorkeling. On the way back I sun bathed on a floaty while Noah swam me across the lagoon, what more could I ask for?

We went to Waikiki and saw this guy on the right spray paint these pics, we definately didn't help

I love this beach. It is in Kailua, a little windy, but beautiful

The mountains on the windward side of the island are beautiful!


These were Cara and I's seats throughout the week, so much fun!!!

Eowyn is a little beach babe


After having the first vacation of her life she slept the whole way home!! She even slept through a feeding which is very unlike her. she must have been dreaming of seeing daddy


My amazing husband greeted us each with a rose at the airport. I came home to a dozen more roses and a scavenger hunt leading me to a beautiful new song he wrote for me and a bow!!! I went and shot some arrows today and had such a blast. I am the luckiest woman on earth to be married to Ben. He is an awesome husband and a wonderful dad

What a beautiful day! the guys got together and played flag football so Eowyn had to go watch her Uncle Steve, uncle Dain and her daddy, her hero



She had fun on the sidelines with her grandpa : )

Okay so backing up a bit. I, in hopes of winning backstage passes to mercy me, was in an eating contest!! Of all things I did not need to do after gaining 50 lbs during my pregancy that had just ended seven weeks prior! Well, I will spare you the details of what I had to eat but I lost : ( However, we were still given back stage passes!!

Carrie and I got to take little Eowyn and Hannah backstage where they stole the show.

At seven weeks old, Eowyn was held by a celebrity. She was so excited that she spit up : )

She is now very inspired to become a little musician.


I know, I know the pics of Eowyn are much cuter but we left her with aunt Michelle to go to our first Seahawks game of the season.

How you doin?

catching up on some adventures

Peace


It had been way too long since we had blogged so she is just saying hello


she is just so darn cute, she just turned two months yesterday!!


Eowyn and Great Grandma Mugga are having a hilarious Conversation : )


this was her first trip down to the base of snoqualmie falls. We realized while we were there that it had been exactly two years since we had gotten engaged, my how life changes!! This place is also really special to us because it is where we kissed for the first time : ) See what kissing leads to?!? : )
