The latest





Yes, it's been a while since I last posted and we have been super busy. Holden and I have been traveling a lot more lately. He is growing so fast, I figure I need to go and do things while I can! Holden is just a mess these days. He is really close to walking and way to smart for his own good. He colors and LOVES books. He crawls over to his book basket and pulls every one of them out, " reads" them to himself one by one and then brings them over to us and holds them up and says "uh" which means read this please.( I add the please because I like to think my child is polite with his baby talk) He also loves to eat diaper cream, not real sure why, but for some reason if he is really quiet we know he either found a tube of diaper cream and is eating it, or he is playing in the toilet. He definitely grows more and more opinionated each day which can test the patience, but it's fun to watch him learn and grow. Recently Evyn and Henry came to visit and we had a blast. Forgot how good old times were for us, and who would have thought we would both live in the Bay area and have sons 6 months apart..pretty funny how life works out. Tolly got called up so we have enjoyed seeing the some familiar faces from home out here in California.
We were recently asked to do a spread for Bay Area parenting magazine and I think it's kind of funny because I don't exactly think we should be in a parenting magazine if our child eats diaper cream and plays in the toilet.
We also recently went to the beach the whole family for All Star Break and that was wonderful! Holden loves his cousins and had a blast playing with them. We can't wait to get back and start seeing them on a regular basis!
Landon and I's biggest chunk of time lately has been going to planning a charity event for this off season. Due to Landon's liver disease and the fact that he will probably one day need a liver transplant, we have become very passionate about organ donation. And, because of the way we have been blessed in life and the doors that have been opened we feel that we should give back. This year on November 7th we are going to host the Inagaural Donors on the Diamond at Fluor Field in Greenville, Sc. I have been running around like a mad woman trying to get everything planned for it from 3,000 miles away. Needless to say, we will be super busy when the season is over. We are looking forward to getting home and seeing our friends and family, but the A's arent too far out of second place in the AL West, so with a little luck, maybe they can do it! Missing you all...God Bless, talk to you soon!diap
