Lots of firsts...

Brecken is 10 months old and I can't believe it. He is too close to being one. I am just not ready for that yet. He has been army crawling and pulling up on everything he can around the house. He is so loud when crawling around because he is always so excited. His smile is the best and we are so lucky that he shows us his smile all of the time. His teeth are coming in. He has his two bottom middle teeth, and on the top, he has his two fang teeth. His smile is just a crack up. The older he gets, the more fun he becomes. We love being with Brecken and because he is so easy going, we are able to take him everywhere. Life really is great.


We went to the Seahawks PreSeason game against the Packers with Courtney, Troy and their daughter Chanelle. We had Brecken wear his noise reduction ear muffs so that it wasn't too loud and he thought he was the cutest little guy ever in these things. He kept them on the whole time. Thanks Hertz family for taking us to the game. Your seats are awesome. As you can see, we are right at the field. The seats were in the first row and amazing. Brecken was definitely into watching the glittery cheerleaders.

This picture is just too funny. His shirt says "My Dad is Rad" and he was cracking himself up while I was trying to take a picture to send to Steve at work. He loves his daddy.


Brecken and I spent a day up in Sudden Valley with Courtney, Chanelle and Denman playing at the beach. Here is an attempt at a picture of them all paying attention but there was just too much going on. Brecken loves these kids and has so much fun with them. The beach was great and we had a wonderful time.

It is exhausting to relax on a boat!!!!

Our friend Lee has a boat and invited us out for Brecken's first boating experience. It was a gorgeous Seattle evening and even though Brecken has to wear his ridiculous life vest, he loved the whole experience. He wasn't afraid of the boat and even got to see some wakeboarders. We would hold him up into the wind and he would just smile and giggle. Thanks Lee for such a fun night.
