Family Fun

We had a great day yesterday!!! It was BEAUTIFUL outside, and after church we headed out to McCleary to have dinner with Jon's family. The dinner was delicious, nothing better than Leavitt Tacos! After dinner we went ahead and played Rook (it's a card game)!!! It was so fun, and I think we were all a little tired, because all of us were making mistakes, EXCEPT for Dad Leavitt, he's in it to win it, there's no making mistakes when it comes to him playing! Regardless we had a BLAST. Before we had dinner though, we went ahead and took a couple family pictures outside, they turned out nicely! We were going to take a couple more after dinner, but what do you know Andrew spit up all over his outfit, and so we didn't get a chance, but we will get some done here at the end of the month! As for Andrew, he had a doctor's appointment on Friday, and drum roll......he is 19.3 lbs & 28" long!!! He is in the 90th percentile for his height and 75th for his weight. We can't believe how fast he is growing! As a side note: Andrew is scheduled to have another ultrasound here very soon to make sure his Kidney's are fine and that there is no infection, and we will keep you posted as to what they find soon! Other than that we are soo happy and are blessed to have each other!






















Andrew found himself a new toy, he had such a blast playing with Grandma Leavitt's birthday balloons!!
As you can see in the picture Andrew is getting ready to crawl, he's got the stance down, now if he could just coordinate himself to put the arms and the legs together! He tried yesterday, and face-planted. Soon enough though, we will have a little monster crawling all over the floor, and getting into everything! I am very excited and it has been such a joy to watch him learn and grow!!

First Family Vacation

We took our first real vacation. It was definately not long enough, but it was relaxing none the less. We packed our bags and went camping out at Banks Lake in Eastern Washington with Jon's family, and about 9 other families from different wards. It is a yearly tradition with some families in the area, and this year we decided to join. We had a fabulous time! Andrew hated his life jacket, fell asleep on the boat (every time), decided not to sleep in his own spot in the tent, but on mine, loved the water (so long as he didn't have to wear his life jacket), didn't mind the sun, and all together was HAPPY! Jon and I had some great together time also! We have to thank Grandma Leavitt for watching Andrew (a ton) so we could play in the water and just be together! It was nice to get away and hopefully we will be able to join them again next year!
Andrew decided to give Jon a break and so he drove for a while!!!
