Grandpa to the Rescue

Thank you Grandpa Coburn for watching Tyson a few times when his day care has been unavailable. Also, we're happy to report that Tyson has a new crib to sleep in! Grandpa Coburn helped Adam pick up the crib in his van and then helped us set it up as well.

Ironmen Summit Revisited

Below is a short video that our friend Reuben put together to document our gathering up in the Northwest this summer. We all had a great time! It's pretty amazing to see how the group keeps getting larger and how Travis' shorts keep getting shorter... :) Thanks for the video Reuben!

So this is what 10 years looks like...

This weekend is my 10 year high school reunion! Go Kangs (Adam gets a kick out of the fact that my HS mascot is a kangaroo). Since I just returned to work, I am not able to attend my reunion. Last month, I was able to see some good friends from LWHS during my trip to Washington.

I'm Four Months Old Today!

We can't believe that our little guy is now four months old. Time sure flies! We're having so much fun watching him grow and playing with him. Below are some recent photos.

Story Time!

Tyson loves: eating, rolling around on the floor, kicking while taking a bath, and cooing.

Tyson doesn't love: when we take his thumb out of his mouth.

Tender moments: hearing Tyson giggle in the morning while he's being dressed and watching him look at himself in the mirror.

Thanks Mom!

Where has my summer break gone? I am now back at school and trying to get in the swing of things. My wonderful mom watched Tyson last week while I was at Language Arts Workshops. Thank you Mom for flying down to Phoenix to help with Tyson. We really appreciate it!

Adventures in Washington

We returned to Washington to vacation with the Ironmen (Adam's good buddies from Pepperdine) and their families in Hansville, Washington. The Ironmen Summit is a biennial summer event and our crew has grown by three since the last gathering in Heber, Arizona. Special thanks to the Myers family for being such great hosts. Check out Reuben's blog for some photo journalism from the trip. Tyson and I extended our trip a few extra days to relax in the cool weather before I returned for work.

Happy Anniversary!

Unfortunately, Adam and I are away from each other on our 4th Anniversary. We did get to celebrate our Anniversary early on Monday night with a great dinner on the Kirkland Waterfront. I miss you Adam and can't wait to see you on Sunday!
