Family River Trip

We got to go to the river over the summer and use our trailer for the first time. We had so much fun being with all our family just relaxing and having some fun in the sun. My parents have a trailer too, so we were able to have a big group of us. In our trailer was Ryan, Trent, Tessa and I, Tate and Lauren and Terry and Andrea. In my parents trailer was Mom, Dad, Taisia, Jeremy, Teegan and Tenley and Tatum and Jeremiah. Trent had his first ride in the boat which he absolutely loved, and Tessa had her first time in the pool which she loved as well. I cant wait until next year when we get to go again.

7 months...

Baby girl is 7 months old already! I know, its crazy, and I know I say it every month but where is the time going? Athough I wish I could freeze time, it is so much fun watching her grow up and being able to play with her brother. Its only going to get more and more fun! Here is what our big girl is up to:

Army crawling

Gets up on all fours and rock back and forth

Eats a TON! her halloween costume was very fitting. hehe

Eats pretty much anything we give her except carrots

She plays a game when she is eating where she likes to blow raspberries at you after she takes a bite. She thinks it is hilaious when you tell her "no"

She has possibly the most high pitched scream on a 7 month old ever, and she is not afraid to use it. Happy or mad.

Sissy girl in her Puj tub...best baby bath ever!

Trent is a crazy sleeper. He always ends up sideways and body parts all over the place.

Just a little brotherly/sisterly love

I ran upstairs for two seconds to get the kids' clothes and when I came back down
I found Tessa in the form of a coloring book. Trent had colored all over her hand, foot and face. At least it was washable!

Hideous picture of me, but it was a big moment for us. Our new trailer! Many family memories to be had!

Baby girl in her bumbo seat!

Trying out the exersaucer for the first time.

Trent, the naked tool man. Haha

We went to get sis out of her crib after her nap and Trent ran up first and climbed in with her.

Tessa Jean got to meet her great aunt Nancy Jean, who she is named after. Nancy is Ryans aunt, and she is currently battling ALS (Lou Gehrigs disease). We love her so much!

I got to meet my cousin Taras new bundle, Tripp Patrick Eustace. He is so precious and was born on Ryans birthday :)

Enjoying a lovely evening out by our fire pit.

2 of my favorite boys! Trent just adores his Daddy

My Mom got Trent a whole baseball outfit for Christmas and she put it on him yesterday when she was over. When he came downstairs, I started crying like a little baby. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen! I'm going to die when he starts T-ball.

Trent asked to put his towel on his head after his bath! I guess he was jealous of my hot look! Haha

Another Oldie but Goodie

This is another video of Trent from over a year ago but I love it and since I figured out how to post from my phone, I just had to share. Again, sorry its sideways. Haven't figured that part out yet.

Beach

Today we went to the beach with our little family of 4. Even though it was freezing we still had so much fun! We played in the sand, made sand castles and took a walk on the pier. I was so mad I forgot my camera. These are all from my phone. It was way too cold for Tessa girl so I didn't get one of her in her swim suit, but trust me, it was a cuuuttttee sight to see.
