Busy Summer!

So I've kind of decided I'm not going to feel guilty about my sporadic updates with our blog. I think I've finally just learned to accept my inconsistency as a personality flaw and just know that -that's that! We've had such a busy summer and there's lots to catch up on.

Miles escaped to play with the toys before his bath... a sure kodak moment!

With Miles becoming more sure on his feet - the bumps and scrapes and bruises were sure to follow! He's always such a sport!

We had the pleasure of going to see Miles' and Addison's first cubs game in July! It was a blast. Go cubbies!

Happy Birthday Miles!!

July 5, we celebrated Miles' first birthday. I can't believe a whole year has gone by already!! And what an incredible year it has been! Here are a few pictures from the big day....
The big guy was a little groggy to start the day, but our birthday boy perked right up after opening his first gift (ABC fridge magnets)! He looked super cute in his special birthday boy onesie to match his cute cake! And the cake... oh the cake! He wasn't quite sure what to think of the cake. He thought it was way more fun to play in than to eat!! Opening presents was a fun task too. Don't tell the grandparents, but I think he secretly liked the boxes more than the toys!

Miles, you are sooooo loved!! Your mommy and daddy are so proud of you!! You have brought so much joy into our lives and you are such a wonderful blessing! Sometimes I can't fathom loving you any more, and then... another day goes by! And, I love you twice as much as yesterday!

Thank you, God, for such a beautiful blessing!

This Changes Everything

Summer Fun at the Joe!

Miles experienced his very first baseball game tonight. And, I think he liked it. Who knows? We may have a little pitcher on our hands! He was tossing the ball into Daddy's glove already! Move over Carlos Zambrano!

Grandpa was in heaven with his two little cubbies!

It was a beautiful day and fun was had by all!

Love my sisters!

Miles Updates...

I know I have been really bad about posting consistently- truth be told our camera is inoperable. But these are a few pics we took with some friend's cameras. This first picture was at the airport the night Daddy came home from almost 2 weeks away :( Miles was so excited to see Daddy! He is definitely turning into a little boy and less and less of a baby!! I can't believe it! They grow up so fast!! I am trying my hardest to enjoy every second of it!! Being Miles' mom is the best job ever!! I am so grateful! :)

Mommy- Daddy Vacation!!

Josh and I had such a great time celebrating our 7 year anniversary! We took a 5 day cruise from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas and Ensenada, Mexico. We left little Miles to be spoiled by the grandparents! While we missed him a ton, it was definitely a second honeymoon!! I highly recommend getting away to those parents who aren't quite convinced they can do it. You can!! It was so rejuvenating and we came back refreshed and ready to be the best parents we can be to Miles! More pics to come! :)

Picture Updates

Sorry we've fallen off of the blogging wagon! Here are a couple of pictures from a photo shoot we did at the beach a couple of weeks ago! This is definitely the most fun stage so far! All the little man wants to do is walk around! (Holding mom and dad's fingers, of course)
