Christmas 2014

Christmas 2014 is a wrap. We celebrate with Jake's family for New Years so it takes a little longer for us to move past December 25th:) We had a great holiday with both of our families and hopefully created some fun memories for Cash in the month of December. And to think, next year we will have TWO kids. Fun stuff.

Bye, bye 2014....

Our October

Well, we enjoyed the last of our fall this year. It snowed on Halloween and hasn't left the ground since. But weren't those leaves pretty?

A weekend spent at the cabin is always fun, even if this weekend involved a major boo boo for Cash.

Jake and I attended an out of town wedding and Cash spent the night with my Aunt Lorie. I was nervous about how he would do and it turns out he was probably better behaved than he is for us. Go figure.

We celebrated cousin, Jazi's, 12th birthday in style:)

And then...October ended, just like that.

New around here....

(Brother's wedding, August 16th)

I have not been good at updating the blog. I go back and forth with just giving up on it all together but sometimes if I can't remember a date or a stat I find myself looking to the blog for the answer. It is nice to have a bunch of information in one place so I'm going to try to keep at it.

On August 27th, we moved out of the Summerside Drive house. This was our 8th move in the 5 years we have been married. Pros. We were thankful for the sale of our house, even though we are currently in limbo regarding a job transfer and where we will end up! So, wish us the best!

Midweek Getaway

At the end of June (Can you tell I'm playing catch up?) we decided to get out of town for a couple of days and spend some quality time together. We started in Traverse City where we explored the beach, shopped downtown and indulged in some fabulous ice cream. Next we drove up to Northport where we took a tour through the old Grand Traverse Lighthouse. Lastly, we ended up in Leland/Fishtown which was really cool except we got rained out. So we will go back...for the wineries...without Cash:)

Cash was such a trooper and we had a great couple of days together.

4th of July

            

We had a low key fourth this year, but it was good.

We started the day at the Bay Harbor Parade, had lunch- where Cash made a lot of friends, took a long nap and then had a small BBQ at home.

Outside Fun

We have been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. Cash loves being outside, exploring, watching the neighbors (he's really nosey), etc.

Waving is his new fave. "Hi Mom!"

Evening golf cart rides are so exhausting.

Best.Face.Ever.

New toys are so fun!

I feel the need to mention that he is afraid of grass. He hates the prickly feel against his legs and will NOT walk through it. He stands completely frozen and won't move. But we're working on it:) Anyone else experience this? Advice?

A First Birthday Party

Cash looked like such a dapper little guy at his party. The weather was really nice, sans the crazy wind. The birthday boy had sugar for the first time and he was less than thrilled I think. His smash cake was huge and there was hardly a dent in it by the time he was bored with it. I guess he's perfectly happy devouring bananas, so we'll just leave the sugar till next year's cake:) We were so grateful to our friends and family that were able to come spend the afternoon with us!

Easter 2014

We had a great Easter weekend. Saturday was spent doing projects around the house, trying to prepare for a sale! That night Jake and I watched Passion of the Christ, in remembrance and preparation for Resurrection Sunday. I cried and he gasped.

Sunday we went to church and then met my parents downtown for brunch. They came over after and Cash opened his first Easter basket, which wasn't as momentous as I had imagined:) My in laws and Jake's sister came over later for a visit and closed out our family day.

(Cash is so thankful for a Risen Lord!)
