MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

More Westin

Cousin Aidan spent the night last weekend. The two played, sort of.

Westin wrapped himself well this night, into a little baby burrito.

He's starting to crawl, and that means...chasing Sophi!

Clean Eating-He must have had a quick wipe down before this pic, because he's not normally this clean after eating.

He's now pulling himself up, but only when he's set in his crib temporarily to play. Fortunately, he hasn't started pulling himself up after naps. We'll have to lower the mattress soon.

Slobber, Kisses, and Sleep

Make these...If you like pumpkin

These are easy and tasty, and no oil or butter!

Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Cookies
1 spice cake mix (straight from the box)
1 sm can pure pumkin (15 oz)
1 bag chocolate chips

Mix and bake at about 375 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

Many of you know I don't bake or cook well. Luckily I have a husband who does cook and bake, really well. The other night he made us awesome, could've come from a restaurant, Thai food. Anyway, when I do something in the kitchen, I want it easy and simple. So, for those who appreciate the same-enjoy!

Happy Halloween!!!

Our Little Dalmatian

Grandma Kanooth and Aunt Lairen Visit!

Westin had lots of fun with Grandma and Aunt Lairen and wants them to come back soon!

Westin Is 6 Months Old!

Like most of us, Westin needs a minute to wake up in the mornings.

But once he wakes up...he's all smiles!

Bath time, yo!

Cute as a button.

Redheads Stick Together

Waking Dad

This is our little UFC fighter going for his first TKO

Gaggin' him didn't even work!

Notice the nice string of drool approaching Daddy's face

Good morning sunshine?!!

Westin has a new toy

Recently Whitny gave us her old baby walker for Westin.

He's only sits in it for a short period of time
but he's in it long enough for us to get some cute pictures of him.

Westin is our little angel

Holding on for dear life

Tummy Time

We've been working with Westin and getting

him use to tummy time. He's progressing and he

can now hold his head up for a good amount of time.

This is sooo tough

How does Sophi do that for so long?

The stare down

Dad get up! Saturday morning cartoons are on.

3 Months Old!!!

Time flys when you having fun.

Westin is 3 month old now and discovering

all kinds of new things.

He weighs 13 lbs 13 oz 23 1/2 inches.

He loves laying on his back playing with is floor toy.

Loves bath time especially his after bath massage.

Just like Dad...

We have noticed that when we set Westin down on the

couch with the TV on, he'll sit there very focused on

the TV. Almost to where he doesn't want to be

bothered while watching TV. like they say...

like father like son.

This is his don't bother me while I'm watching my show. Please!

He loves the comedies.

Poor Kitty :o(

Poor Sophi. She longs for the days when it

was just her, mom and dad. Now Westin gets

all the attention and she's left to entertain

herself. We try to love her just as much as we

use to, but obviously it's not enough.

Tillamook Cheese!

I forgot to mention that in our trip to Washington

we made a trip to the world famous Tillamook

cheese factory. I now have a greater sense of

satisfaction when I pay 8 dollars for a brick of cheese

knowing that I'm funding a factory that doesn't even

show you how the cheese is made. (sarcasm) They

just show you how they pack and ship the cheese.

Kierstin says they use to show you how it was made

but I left a little cheated. I went into it thinking I would

get to see how it was made, like my younger years

when my family would make the trip out to the Napa,

ID cheese factory and you actually got to see it being

made and then you got to sample the amazing

squeaky cheese. (side note: Tillamook's squeaky

cheese taste is very competitive to the Napa, ID

squeaky cheese. It was always the highlight of the

trips.) The ice cream was good though.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Mulligan! (Undisclosed age)

Happy B-day Grandpa Mulligan

(We love you old man!)

Great G-Rents!

Washington Vacation

We had a busy June. After our road trip to Boise, the next week we took our 1st plane ride with Westin to Washington, for a family vacation. We went to Seaside, OR for a couple of days and we made it without any problems and no one got hurt. It was a pretty fun trip with the Kanooth family and it was sad to go. We wish we could be closer to all our family.

Westin was super excited about his first plane ride and by my facial expression so was I.

The Kanooth kids

Somehow we got all 10 grandkids to stay sat down for this photo with Grandpa & Grandma Kanooth

Chillin' like a villain
