Family Vacation

Whistler Mitchell Family Vacation:
10 of us ventured up to Whistler and stayed in a very nice four bedroom condo. We went miniature golfing (Kyle won), traveled peak to peak (some not so excited to go, but were champs about it), went hiking on blackcomb mountain, and relaxed. It was a nice getaway from the norm and Kade got his first extensive vacation. Thanks Scott and Linda!

Pictures

So I am uploading all the 6 month pictures on facebook as well. It will probably take me a little time though.

Kade's 6 month Picts

Mid-July we met with Rebecca Brethauer for Kade's 6 month pictures. She snapped picts for about an hour and gave us the disk and rights to print them whenever we want. These are just a few pictures that we liked. Her blog is www.rebeccabrethauerphotography.blogspot.com. She was very nice and was willing to meet anywhere we wanted. My sister got us the sitting for my birthday, thanks Aim.
Update on Kade: He is actually 7 months today. He is eating a lot of solids and his favorite foods are all fruit (of course!). He has two teeth popping through on the bottom, his hair seems to be filling in a little better, he is almost crawling and is constantly wanting to walk. The other day he cried out momamomamoma. Probably not on purpose, but it made me feel pretty good. We are having so much fun watching Kade grow and experience new things. It will be a sad day when Tyler and I have to get back to the grind in less than a month.


One that everyone loves.

Too Cute.

Sooooo Happy!

Summer has been fun! I did a mini Triathlon at Padden Tyler played in Hoopfest again and lost in the Championship of his Hoop. That means his team was in the top 8 of the elite division. We have been having a great time both being home for the summer. We also had a little vacation to Birch Bay for the 4th of July. It was good to get away even though it wasn't that far away from home. Pictures will be uploaded soon!

June is finally here!

June is finally here!
Sorry it has taken so long to update. Lots has been going on now that summer is kicking into gear. Basketball and volleyball are starting up this week and going strong through the summer. Tyler had his first basketball games tonight at Lynden against Ferndale and Lynden (they won both games, Tyler was happy)
Not much has changed with Kade. He is rolling a little more, grabbing and chewing on everything, becoming more and more alert and aware, but still not sleeping very long at night. Other than the sleep thing he has been a great baby. To get ready for the fall Tyler and I tried the bottle routine again and Kade wasn't having it. He will probably take a sippy cup before he will take a bottle. I also learned that he hasn't been getting enough food from me so Tyler and I decided to try some rice cereal. Kade was more than happy to eat up, it was fun. We shall see what changes come with solid foods, I am crossing my fingers for more sleep.
June is going to be a crazy month with lots of birthdays, Kyle and Tyler's graduation, basketball and volleyball tournaments and school for Tyler. I hopeto do a better job of updating the blog, but we shall see.
We made a road trip to Shareene's house and visited with Gill, Tessa and Marcy (sleeping). It was great to get out of the house and catch up on all the latest.
Sea to Ski Parade. Chase and Rylie had front row seats to watch all the parade entries.



My sister Amy and Dad at the Parade. It was pretty cold in the shade.
My Mom, Duffy, Kade and me standing in the sun to stay warm at the parade. Kade did great. He took a nap for part of the parade and then watched part of it in his front pack.


May29th was my Grandma's 77th Birthday. We celebrated with pizza cake and ice cream at my parents house.

May 31st. Kade's first bite of solid foods. He is reaching for the spoon already trying to feed himself. :)

Update




Kade rolled for the second time yesterday. The first time was a month ago and he hasn't done so since. It was pretty exciting, even though when we went to Grandpa and Grandma Mitchell's house he did not perform for the granparents. Here are some current pictures of the 26 in 14 and a half pound 4 month old.

Tyler and Alli Mitchell

Tyler and I met in July 2005 were married August 4, 2007 and welcomed our first child, Kade Allen Mitchell on January 5th, 2009. It has been a crazy journey, but one that is definitely worth taking. To us, everything Kade does is adorable and our hearts constantly melt.
