Kauai & Maui 2011

Every year there is a national convention for Renny's industry (HVAC-R) which we can attend, and this year we REALLY lucked out...it was in Maui!!!! Renny's parents, sister & boyfriend, my mom, and us all went together for a 10 day vacation. We went to Kauai first for five days then over to Maui for five days.  Boy did we have a ton of luggage with 2 kids, but it was a great time! Both kiddos did great on the plane, and really only managed to have one major meltdown the whole time! (quite a few "mini" meltdowns, but only one major, haha! I was pleased!) August was amazing and had a super fun time in the pool. He was very intrigued by the fountains in the kiddie pool and loved to sit and swipe his arms thru them :) Teagan is FEARLESS in the water! She was going down the water slide backwards and jumping off 5 ft platforms into the deep end! She loved the lazy river at the pool in Maui...she just floated on her back and kicked her feet all day long. I had to work to keep up with her! It was fun having the whole family there. Here are some cute pictures:

August is 5 Months!

August turned 5 months on October 21st! It was an exciting month with him. He had his first airplane ride to Hawaii! He is still the sweetest little guy and is always happy. He is talking more and more...he loves to say "mama" and I love to pretend that he is actually talking to me when he says it :) He seems to say it whenever he wants a change of scenery, like when he has had enough tummy time or jumping time or when he is tired.  It is SO cute watching him attempt to crawl. He looks like he is swimming while he does it and by the looks of it he is going to be one fast mover when he really figures it out! He is still sleeping thru the night and takes 2 naps a day. Teagan is, hands down, his favorite person. He always has a big smile for her and anything she does to him makes him laugh. He gets so proud of himself when he grabs hold of toys, blankets, HAIR... and he had a growth spurt! He is now 16lbs 2oz and 26 inches tall! He is up to the 60th percentile now.
Here are some shots of him during this last month:

Pa's Pumpkin Patch 2011

This year Teagan could not wait for Pa's Pumpkin Patch to open! As soon as she began to see it's construction in September it was, "MOM! There's halloween!! Can we go???" Needless to say, she was elated when the day finally came for us go head over to "halloween."  We got a few tickets and Teagan headed straight for the giant slide...and of course it was her favorite thing to do there. Then it was over to the pony ride and the cars, and back to the slide! Thankfully (because we were headed to Kauai the next day) she didn't even ask to pick a pumpkin! August was adorable, as always, and just had fun taking in the sights. I can't wait until next year when he is trying to keep up with his big sister!
