Annual Ironworker Picnic

Yesterday was the annual Ironworker picnic. I’ve gone with Russ a few times now and it’s actually a lot of fun. The first one we went to, we were dating, the 2nd one we were married, and the third one, we had Rowan. Kind of funny because some of the guys haven’t worked with Russ for awhile and are always surprised at how much has happened in such a short time.

It was a perfect day for it, lots of sunshine. It’s always held at Lake Sammamish State Park. We had some good food, and fun watching all of the competitions for kids and adults. It will be fun for Rowan when he’s old enough to go in the bounce house, and compete in all of the games for prizes.

Rowan’s wearing his “crane” shirt. Pretty sure Russ is hoping that will be his first word.

Hair Feathers!

I’ve been wanting to get some feathers in my hair for a little while now. It’s a fun way to add a little something without the commitment (or price!) of hair dye. I was planning on some really subdued, “blonde” ones and then I decided to do something a little more out of the ordinary for me- green and black! Russ actually helped me put them in with his pliers, and I think they are really fun! They are often swept up within the layers of my hair and not quite this obvious. It’s pretty cool that you can wash your hair, blow dry, straighten, curl, or whatever with them in. After a few weeks, I think I’ll do some lighter blonde ones but for now, I really like them!

First Time in the Grass

Since we finally have some hot summer weather, Rowan and I went to the park with our friends, the Elsbree’s. They have 4 kids who dote on Rowan, and he loves it! He was so busy checking out the grass that he decided not to fight me on the hat for once. At first he sat still, and didn’t know what to do. Then he decided it was scary, and cried until I picked him up. Once he got through all of that, he decided he would try and EAT the grass. Oh boy..

Here’s a shot of all the kiddos before we left. How sweet are they??!

So Cute When He’s Asleep…

I snap a lot of pictures of this kid when he’s sleeping. He’s just so peaceful and innocent. Makes me wanna kiss those little rosebud lips, and eyelids.

Rowan is Walking!

Watch Out World!!

More Tub Time!

The lighting in our new place isn’t the best in Ro’s bathroom. That’s why there’s this yellowish tinge.

I’m glad to report that Rowan still loves the bath. Although, I’m trying to teach him that he needs to “sit” the entire time because he keeps trying to get up. I usually end up getting pretty wet from all of his splashing but it’s nice to cool off with the recent summer heat!

Love this little face…

Getting all dried off with Mama!

10 Months Old!

 

Rowan is in the double digits now, woo-hoo! Biggest development this month?? WALKING! I will try and post a video soon.

He LOVES to dance, and if he hears music anywhere..grocery store, car radio, my own lovely singing or humming, haha..he starts dancing. He even dances when I say “dance!” Maybe we’ll have a musical kid on our hands.

Rowan recognizes a lot of words now. He does a lot of babbling, but nothing recognizable yet.
