The Goldade's: October 2012

2012 Recap (thus far...)

So...I'm a bad blogger...tell me something I don't already know! :) Here's a quick peek at our 2012, so far...

January

Mom and Dad spoiled us all (except Crew, he got to spend a week with the cousins...) and took us to Mexico. It was FABULOUS!!

At Tulum

The family and our tour guide, Nephi (yes, that's his real name) on our B OF M tour at Tulum

I was most comforted knowing Nephi didn't buy into the Mayan calendar ending in 2012...sounds like we might still have a few more years on planet earth...relief...I had been watching to much of the History channel right after the first of the year and was a little concerned... :)

How is this the only shot of Blair and I on the beach!? Dunno...but it's sucky and that's it....we were having to much fun playing I guess.

And...we brought home a special little souvenir to remember our trip by...see February for details....

February

Anyone who knows me well knows I'm always down for a party...especially if I get to plan it...Crew's 1st Birthday was no exception. Overboard? Maybe, but he only turns 1 once! :)

Kind of a vintage circus theme...

Did not like his cake...

All his friends came to help him celebrate!

Yeah...we couldn't believe it either....

At the end of February we got this little surprise...

WARNING: Be cautious when traveling to Mexico...there must be something magic that defies all medical explanation in the water :)

March

March was a sad month...we had a very sick little boy. Crew got RSV and got to have a sleepover on the PEDS floor at the hospital. Luckily just 1 night of breathing treatments and lots of prayers and we went home late the next day.

Since we had a sick boy...1 year pictures had to be postponed...

Crew-1 year old!

April

Easter Time

May

May kicked off with a trip to Bear World with our friends the Brown's to see the baby bear cubs. We mostly enjoyed feeding the ducks and avoiding the creepy little deer in the petting zoo...

That's straight baby bear cub petting excitement!

Like I said...creepy deer....

And...the end of May brought with it some news....a baby GIRL was headed our way! Sorry...scanner isn't working or I'd share the most precious little ultrasound pic. I know...you're devastated!

June

19 weeks

June brought with it the start of a little bump...

and Father's Day...Boy oh Boy...I love these boys! And this little boy adores his daddy...so much so that he made him a special photo album...

And some fun in the sun!! Don't even ask how many buckets of water I had to carry to fill up this pool....couldn't find the hose and wasn't about to deny Crew some cooling off on a hot day! What can I say, I'm a sucker...

July

4th of July

Boating fun...

Notice I'm absent from the boat pics...Doctors orders...no riding in the boat, no surfing :(

I was ok with it though...I held down the fort at the docks and worked on my tan.

The Oregon Coast

Goldade Family Vacation

Cape Fowlweather...Blair spotted 2 whales!!

Lots of cousin play time

Went for a swim in the small river...didn't like the ocean much at all....

A MUCH needed get away after a busy summer....

Spoils from the fishing/crabbing trip

We learned that Crew loves eating crab just as much as his dad does!

Crew's newest obsession at G&G Smith's house...like once you start you can't get him stopped! And he doesn't get told no much and G&G's house. :)

August

The first weekend of August we moved into our new house!!

(ok, this is a picture of earlier in the summer...still under construction...we didn't move in when it looked like this...I've just failed to take a picture in the light of day...promise one to come...possibly with a tour-by-pictures post....ok, no promises)

31 weeks

I'm sure you can imagine I was a lot of help to Blair while he laid the rock on the house...I basically sat back in a chair and told him which piece I liked where...he didn't really care about my opinions though. Probably a good thing since it turned out AMAZING...

September

The new way to watch a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse...

19 months old

Bath time might be his favorite time of the day...

First Haircut

Yes, it was that bad...the whole time. Blair and Becky barely survived...

Someone got a Happy Meal after this one....

36 weeks

Don't Judge...

No, I haven't looked this bad the whole time. This is after a power shopping trip in Park City and wrestling a toddler who broke a plate at Tucano's...we decided Crew gets to stay home with dad or grandpa next time. :)

October...so far....

Not to happy about being woke up for daycare...not even the pumpkin shirt could make this morning better...

Crew bought some pumpkins from the neighbor kids...he was pretty excited about them

**Don't Judge, I'm 9 months pregnant**

Yes, we still have a binky but only at naptime/bedtime when we're in our crib...just so happens the first picture was a rough morning when we still needed it to get us to daycare and the second one is right before nap...we couldn't let anyone buy our pumpkins, we had to hurry!
