March 2007

Despite the teething-turned-sinus infection-turned-conjunctivitis, we made it up to the cabin for the weekend. The Hume Family was brave enough to make the trip! When the boys got home from skiing we made our way to Gold Fork Hot Springs. We all had a grea time!

First day of Spring Break in Boise! Meredith is getting down to business. Don't worry, no beer in the can. She just liked filling it up and pouring it out...


Meredith likes to have her snack, on her car this week.

Jesse decided that it would be a good idea to buy Morgan the biggest sucker ever. Sorry Ryan and Sarah!


We spent a lovely day at the zoo with the Andersons and the Kearneys. Here are the dads and kids (John/Fisher, Ryan/Morgan, Jesse/Meredith).

Meredith and Fisher had a great time playing in the dino eggs.

We decided to take advantage of the wonderful weather and kick-off BBQ season. It was fun to see Aiden Kearney enjoying the chaos that comes with having 7 toddlers running around!







Two of Merediths current favorite activities: climbing in the oven drawer and eating on the floor while laying down.






Last weekend my good friend Brooke (Oyler) Ramstad and her husband Eric visited from Seattle. They are moving to Boise in April! We can't wait to welcome them to the "big city". Here we are enjoying $1 bloody marys in Hyde Park.







Enjoying the 70 degree weather at Camelsback Park!

Meredith was enthralled with the Frisbee throwing...







We had Merediths one year photos taken a couple of weeks ago at BB Photography (www.bbphotography.com). Here is one of the collages that they made for us!

13 monts old already! After being away from Meredith for a whole week, Jesse and I are amazed by all the changes. First off, we had to trim Merediths hair. She won't keep any kind of barrette in her hair so we had to do something about those bangs! I let Grandma Karan do the honors as I was too nervous. Merediths first trim!

Meredith went from sometimes walking and sometimes crawling to walking all the time. She is a full-fledged toddler. I think we are going to have our hands full, she has quite the little personality!

February 2007

Meal time is always messy at our house. Meredith had an exceptionally messy dinner the other night. Her hair is proof of that.




BREAKING NEWS: Meredith is walking!!!!

Some Valentine love from Meredith.


Sara and I in McCall, pre-food poisoning!

Merediths First Birthday

WOW! What a wonderful weekend we had celebrating Merediths first birthday with friends and family. All three sets of grandparents were in town for the occassion along with Uncle Chris and Aunt Kortney. We had a birthday bash with loads of friends and family! We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives that love little Meredith.

We had lots of cupcakes! Meredith even had her own special birthday cupcake plate made with love from Grandma Karan.


She was very fascinated with the candle. She dug right into the cupcake and LOVED it.


The sugar induced meltdown occurred at 12:30am. It was a lovely night for mom and dad.

Meredith is such a lucky girl. She got lots of fun gifts from her friends. We especially liked the "Jessica Simpson" outfit from Ryder. Who knew they made such tiny shorts?


Jacob Mark helped test out the new music set he brought for Meredith. He is such a nice boy!
Meredith was a bit shell shocked at times...so many new toys to play with.

Morgan wanted to join in on the present opening fun.
"Ohhh, what's in there mom?"



A special treat from Grandpa Gene and Grandma Dana- a slide!
Ahhh, finally we get to sit down.
Zane helps Meredith with her new wand.
Ohhh, I LOVE my Pooh cart. Thanks Nana!

A new tutu!
