Blake 15 Months








We've been meaning to get some updated photos of Blake, but just haven't found the time to do it. Finally, last night we went out to a field by Shelly's house, and Shelly took some awesome pics. Here are a few that she posted on her blog. Only two weeks before we take some more with his new baby sister :)

Children's Museum with Jaxon









Katie Morris, one of my good friends from college, came over to visit me a couple of days ago with her son, Jaxon. Jaxon is just four days younger than Blake. We took them to the Children's Museum here in Indy, and they had so much fun. The museum is so great for kids of all ages. I was shocked to find out they had so much to do for this age. Thanks for visiting us, Kate and Jax. We had a great time!!

Indiana State Fair




This was for you Shelly and Brian. Lucy the cow.













We went to the Indiana State Fair this past weekend. Blake had fun looking at the animals and sitting on the tractors. There were a million tractors. Guess that's Indiana for ya. Oh and we got to see the world's largest and second largest boar....they were a little over 1100 lbs :)

Choo Chooo

We just went to an antique store tonight, and Eric came up with this idea for the smoke stack. It'll look more fitting when I paint it black, but I thought it worked great.















This is one of the projects we've been trying to get done before the baby comes. I'm planning on putting Blake in a toddler bed in December, and I new we just wouldn't have time once school started and with the new baby. So, Eric and his grandpa built this train toddler bed for Blake. It is sooo adorable, and we aren't even done with it. My mom and grandma are going to paint the wheels for me. We are also going to add some more details like a smokestack on the engine, a sign, hopefully a little bell, and whatever else we find. I'll take more pictures once it is done. Thanks for everyones help on this project, and thanks for bringing it down this weekend, Dad.


Blake and the baby are going to have to share a room for awhile...yikes...we'll see how that is going to go. The rest of the pictures are the baby's little corner of the room.





Brown County Camping






My parents, Kristin, John, and us went camping for the weekend over Eric's birthday. I didn't take enough pictures here either :( We had a blast. I just wished we could have stayed longer. My family used to camp here when we were kids. It was more beautiful than I remember. Definitely planning on making more trips there!

Brushing Teeth

Blake is loving to brush his teeth now. I probably was suppose to start this earlier, but better late then never...right!?

4th of July at the Cottage





Here are a few pictures from the 4th of July up at the cottage. I have to apologize, I didn't take very many because Blake ended up sick most of the week. He had some weird virus and fever the first 3 days, and everybody got food poisoning the last couple of days. Not a great week, but still nice to see everyone.
