New pictures from our trip to Seattle posted!

Here are a couple of pictures from Seattle. Dinner with my grandparents and the trip to the Seattle Aquarium.

Laney's Big Girl Bed!

I have been off of work most of this week so I have done a few things around the house.
Delaney has a new "big girl" bed. I converted her crib into a toddler bed. Boy was she happy. The excitement quickly wore off and she creeps out of her room a half dozen times through the night and ends up in our bed. Hopefully this wears off soon.....
I had lunch with my friend Allison at the Flatbread Pizza Company-great place to eat especially on the patio to celebrate my birthday.
Thursday, Delaney and I started making our Father's Day gifts for the grandpas and we planted a few new flowers in front of the house.
Enjoy the pictures....

TWO YEAR CHECK-UP DETAILS....

Here are Delaney's latest stats:

Weight: 23.9 lbs (10th percentile)
Length: 32 inches (10th percentile)
Head: 47 1/2 cm (25-50 percentile)

She has another optional visit at 2 1/2 years otherwise we don't have to go back until 3 years.

She is done with all of her vaccinations (except seasonal flu shots) until kindergarten!!! That seems so far away, but yet so close! She is growing so fast!

Second Birthday Pictures are up!

Here are some great pictures from Delaney's party last Saturday! I will hopefully post some pictures from her professional photo shoot soon!

Two new pictures.

Posted two new pictures. One if from the Jersey Shore/Good-bye Holly Party we went to. The other is of Delaney playing cars with my Grandpa Johnson while we were visiting Seattle last week. Enjoy!

Out to dinner with Victor and Allison.

The other night we joined our friends Victor and Allison for dinner at our new favorite restaurant, Brick 29 Bistro. It is in a really cool, old Masonic building. We celebrated Allison's birthday a little early since Delaney and I will be in Seattle for the real one! Now if only we can convince Vic and Al to come along with us to Washington DC this fall. Hint, hint....

Baseball time again.....

It is baseball time again! Delaney's Uncle Brett plays baseball at his college, College of Idaho (formerly Albertson College of Idaho). So we went out to watch a practice scrimmage yesterday in the cold. We took a picture of him up to bat.

Valentine Pictures.

I have been trying to snap some great pictures of Delaney for her Valentine's, but like a normal toddler, she is not being very cooperative. So I think I got one of her last night that I can use. I hope it is a good one. Meanwhile, enjoy some of the "bloopers".

Christmas!

Delaney got everything and more than she wanted for Christmas this year. She got lots of new books, a play kitchen with food, a table and chairs set, and lots of great new toys. She loves all of her Little People sets!

She is saying so many new words. We have learned if we don't want to hear her repeat something we cannot say it around her because she is repeating EVERYTHING. Her favorites thanks to Jeff are Jerk, Creep, and thanks to me, she has learned the phrase "I broke it".

She also loves to be mommy's little helper these days and pulls her chair up to the counter when I am cooking in the kitchen. Right now as a type, she has her chair pulled up to the door of the office trying to open the door and turn on/off the lights.

She is getting so big!

Sneak Peek of Delaney's Halloween Costume!

I have posted a sneak peek of Delaney's "Love Bug" Halloween costume. We are practicing trick-or-treat for the big event!

Visit from Great-Grandpa and Great-Grandma Heldt!

My grandparents were in town last week for my Grandma's high school reunion over in Payette. Here are a few pictures from their visit.

18-Month Well Baby Check-up!

Here are the results from Delaney's Check-up:

Date: 09.25.09
Weight: 21 lbs 14 oz
Length: 31"
Head: 46 cm

Tailgating for BSU vs. Miami-Ohio!

Delaney and I decided to join Jeff for our first tailgate of the season! She did really well until right after the game started (of course). Then she was done! But she made it 11:30-6:30 with no naps and only a little breakdown. Then she was excited to have more kids join and she was good to go!

You Voted!

Delaney will be a butterfly for Halloween! I will post a picture of her new costume soon! As for now, I am trying to teach her "trick or treat".

It's That Time Again.....

So last year we created a poll to pick Delaney's Halloween costume. They are now arriving in stores with the Back to School season wrapping up. See the poll for the options this year.....

No New News to Report...but New Pictures Posted!

I don't really have any new news to report. So here are some updated photos to enjoy!
I am enjoying my new job and getting used to the retail hours. I am overall very thankful to have a job again and don't take it for granted.
More to report and more pictures to post coming soon.....

Visit from Family!

We had a visit from two of my uncles and their families a few weekends ago....my Uncle John and cousin Matthew (from Montana) and my Uncle David and Aunt Tammy and their son Trevor (from Washington).
Matthew was playing in the Cal Ripken Baseball Tournament in Meridian and David and his family drove through on their way to Yellowstone. It was nice to see everyone and we enjoyed watching Matthew's game!
Thank you again to David and Tammy for breakfast at The Griddle. It is a very cool-vintage restaurant in Boise. Check it out when you can!

Happy Birthday Lyla Belle!

Just a little shout out to Lyla Belle! She is 4 years old on Sunday, August 9th!
Happy Birthday!

10-Year Reunion.....

Friday, August 7 was Jeff's 10-Year Reunion for Nampa High School. We enjoyed dinner and drinks and company of friends, here are some pics from the event!

A New Job....Finally!

As some of you may know I have started a new job in Boise. I am working at Old Navy offset from Boise Towne Square. While I swore I would never go back to retail full-time, as I was nearing the end of my first round of unemployment, opportunity knocked and I decided to take a chance and see.
I began working there on Monday, July 27 and I will begin my third full week there tomorrow. Surprisingly the benefits are still awesome there (I previously worked for Gap, Inc for 5 1/2 years).
So I am hoping that I will enjoy working there!
