Mars Hill at Qwest Field

Crashed at Qwest Field while 17,500+ worshiped Jesus!

Daddy transferred me to my stroller and I was so tired I didn't even wake up!

WOW. That's the only expression I can think of regarding celebrating my first Easter at Qwest Field. Our church, Mars Hill rented Qwest Field to celebrate and worship Jesus and His Resurrection. 17,500+ people showed up and over 600 baptisms occurred !! It was EPIC. The service took place during my nap time so I tried staying awake as long as possible. By 10:45 though I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and crashed on mommy's shoulder while 17,500+ people sang the song, He Is Risen!

Sunny Day

Scored an awesome Maraca at Creative Mom Toys

Taking a walk with Mommy and Daddy

Grandma and Daddy helping me walk to the slides

Yesterday was such a beautiful day that Mommy and Daddy decided we should take a walk with Grandpa and Grandma Hoffman. We stopped at The Landing and visited a cool toy store called, Creative Mom Toys where I scored my first Maraca! We then took a stroll over to Coulon Park where I tried playing on the jungle gym. I'm not 'officially' walking solo yet so Daddy took me on the slides which were a lot of fun!

Kaylee is 2!!

We celebrated Kaylee's 2nd birthday this past weekend. It was a lot of fun until the mommies got the great idea to sit 8 of us on a couch....8!!!!!!!!! I was NOT happy. Can you spot me and my "upset" face?!

Traveler

A few months before I was born, Daddy and Mommy rescued an old bulldog named Traveler from going to the pound. They nursed her back to health and gave her lots of attention. Once I was born however she didn't adjust well to me joining the family. Mommy and Daddy decided it would be best to give her to our friends who had a big backyard and no kids. Her health recently took a turn for the worse and so we went over to say our last goodbyes.  I had a lot of fun playing with her ears and touching her face. Goodbye Traveler.You will be missed!

Birthday Parties!

I'm pretty much the coolest gift ever!

Hangin with the ladies and the Birthday Girl, Elisha

Chattin it up with the Birthday Boy, Carson.

I follow after my parents when it comes to socializing. Parties rock, especially birthdays! Cake, ice cream, playing with toys, and hanging out with friends makes for a great weekend. I attended two 1 year birthday parties within 24 hours. Now that's how to party!

Cannon Beach

The gang!

My first kiss on the beach

Mommy and Daddy were very excited to take me to Cannon Beach, Oregon for my 9 month birthday. We stayed at the Inn at Haystack Rock, which was pretty cool. Our friends Stacy and Cory joined us over the weekend and we had a fun time walking down to Haystack Rock. I really enjoyed going to the beach in Oregon and look forward to summertime so I can play in the sand and put my feet in the water!

A Lemon

Mommy thought it would be a 'great idea' to give me a lemon to suck on....

While we were in Cannon Beach, OR. celebrating my 9 month birthday we went to dinner at a very nice restaurant called The Wayfarer. While we were eating, a family came in with three loud and obnoxious kids. They made a lot of noise and upset several patrons. A couple nearby got up to leave and on their way out  stopped by our table. The lady told Mommy and Daddy that they were  very impressed by my behavior and appreciated me not interuppting their dinner like the other kids. They also said I was a very good boy. That made Mommy happy so she gave me a bite of icecream. That was yummy! She also got the 'great idea' to give me a lemon to suck on.....Wowie Kazowie, that was SOUR!
