Delicious Cuteness

Complete and utter cuteness! I can't handle it!!

Just Peachy

We had our first guests in our new home this week! Matt's sister, Lizzie, and her fiance, Aaron, made the trip up to Spokane to see us. We had such a great time spending time with the two of them! It's strange to think that Blythe was almost 6 months the last time Lizzie saw her, and now she's a 13 month old pistol. So much has changed!

The weather was absolutely gorgeous while Aaron and Liz were here, and we took advantage of the break in heat we've been having to do some apple and peach picking out at Greenbluff. The sun was shining, the peaches and apples were ripe for the picking, and the taste-testing was magnificent. We love the northwest!

"These Feet Are Made For Walkin', and That's Just What They'll Do..."

That's right! Blythe took her first steps tonight! She ventured 3 solid steps before landing in the safe harbor of Mom's arms. We were so excited that we clapped and made all kinds of enthusiastic excitable-sounding yells. Blythe was rather confused as to why we were making such a big deal out of something she had absolutely no doubt she could accomplish. She is "B. Advanced" after all.

We weren't able to get her first steps on any kind of digital format, but I did manage to snap some pictures of a very cute girl in her PJs. She's just the best!


Blythe very up close and personal. This angle was her idea.

Cowmooflage

We are still doing Saturday Swim with Blythie, and she thoroughly enjoys it. That is, until she gets dunked. They assure us it's to help them get used to the water, and helps with safety, but it seems barbaric to us. The first picture is a nice, smiling Blythe happy in the pool. The second picture is immediately post dunk...poor little critter.

Minutes later we were warm and secure in our car. Here she is in her new car seat. As if it wasn't cute enough, the pattern of the car seat is called "cowmooflage" - so cute I can hardly stand it! Blythe has told me she quite likes facing forward, and will not be reverting back to the rear-facing riding position. I can't say I blame her!

House of Color

Well, we are finally moved into our new home! We absolutely love our house, and all the hours of painting and work we put into the house before we moved in have really paid off. The colors are so different and such a reflection of us. I've included a few for your viewing pleasure.

Our kitchen - so bright and cheerful!

The accent wall in our bedroom.

Blythe's "tropical smoothie" paradise. Soon we will put up a surfer girl border to match the tropical smoothie pinkness.
Our living room.

Home sweet home!
