Sea Center Adventure

We checked out the Sea Center for a family activity.... I stress family because poor Ty is gone a lot (working) so we have to make it a point to do things as a family :) It may sound silly or planned but I think it is SO important that we do things together when we can and I know Copper LOVES it! When the baby comes, he will appreciate it even more!

Checkin out the Jellies

 lots and lots of Jellies!

 Tide tunnel

 Shark eggs

 Copper actually got to touch a leopard shark!

 Not so sure at first....

We followed the afternoon with a nice long nap for everyone! More family adventures to come!

Months 12-14 - yes SO behind...

 The last couple months have been a blur..... Copper is all over the place and I can hardly keep up with my growing belly! Even though its tough, this little guy keeps me going!

Loves rice, only for this purpose.

What is it with boys and large sticks???

 Working on self-feeding :)

 Short belly break :) Copper loves kissing the "baby" although I'm not sure if he associated baby with my belly or that there is an actual baby in there but we are working on it.

 Getting some naked flying in after church :)

 Visiting cousin Brennan! Copper can't get enough of his cousin!

 They really do LOVE each other :)

 yep...self feeding at its best

 I swear Copper does have clothes... he just prefers to be naked :)

 14 months...really??? He is just too big!

 Outing at the zoo!

 Just love this boy!

More updates as months 15-? come around. Whenever I actually get to updating that is....

Maui Family Vacation

Just realized I NEVER updated about our Hawaii trip! ugh... I feel so behind its just not acceptable. Anyway... Here are lots of pictures from our trip! We had such a great time on Maui - the weather was perfect (scorching hot, no rain, sun, sun, and more sun!). We stayed with Janet and Albert in their amazing guest house :) Our days were filled with beach time, afternoon porch time, early dinners and lots and lots of water time for Copper! This was our first family trip (on a plane) with Copper - and he was AMAZING! Both flights were pretty much a breeze, he still stuck to his naps and bedtimes despite the time change AND had FOUR new teeth come in without a blink of an eye. Traveling with ONE child was great - not sure how we will do with two... but we would hop a plane back to Maui anytime!! Ok... here is the documentation :)

SBA - waiting for our first plane ride

 waiting...waiting...

First flight was a breeze!

 Running wild at LAX - trying to tire him out before our next long flight!

 We arrived and Copper loved smelling all the flowers!

 This just never got old..

Copper wasn't so wild about the water at first....

 

Lots of naked beach time!

Family photo :)

 and naked hose time!

Loved the outdoor bathtub :)

Lots of paddling with Janet :)

 This kid couldn't get enough of the paddle board! Ty would put him on the board, he would instantly lay on his stomach ready to go. Did I mention that they actually caught waves like this..... ya - mom heart attack!

more paddling with Janet!

 Couldn't get enough Lilikoi's from Janet!

Had to squeeze one in during nap time <3 nbsp="nbsp" td="td">

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Snorkeling here!

Lots of silly Copper time :)

Yes. Silly.

and the red paddle board again...

I guess I stopped taking pictures here. Our last couple days were amazing. Ty's parents ended up surprising us and coming over for a week! We had so much fun together and hope we get to do it again SOON!
