Our Baby Girl is 1!

Well the day has finally come and gone....we officially have a 1 year old! It is so crazy to think that just a year ago we were waiting for the day that we would finally meet our little Blayne Marie Harris, and we were surprised to meet her 5 weeks early! She keeps surprising us every day and it is so much fun to watch her grow and change!
We celebrated with a little party for her up at Lake Tapps over Labor Day weekend and that was really fun! On her actual Birthday we just had Ryan & Kelsey over with the kids and our friends Brady & Dana, it was a nice little low key Birthday BBQ! :)
She is still just a little peanut, but I think she is going to be able to hold her own pretty well! She is interested in getting into everything, she is pretty tough and a little fiesty at times :) She makes Ryan and I laugh on a daily basis with her goofly little smile (she has one of her top teeth in the front now & its so cute!), her dance moves, or just babbling away like she is having a full conversation with us. She is pulling herself up on anything and is capable of walking on her own but tends to chicken out :)
We are really enjoying this age and seeing her learn new things all the time. We can't get enough of our little peanut! :)

End of Summer...Moving into Fall!

I cannot believe that Summer is over and we are now officially in the Fall season! I have to say, that after the month long streak of HOT weather...the cool cozy weather is a nice change! The Summer seemed to fly by and we did a lot of fun things! August was a busy month which included a visit to Spokane for Ryan's 10 year reunion and his cousin Heidi's wedding. We were able to head over a bit early and had a lot of time to spend with the whole family and just relax at Nana Linda & Greg's "resort" :) It was a fun trip!
We also took a fun trip to the coast at Seaside with our good friends Amanda & Justin and their daughter Ellie. The girls enjoyed the ocean and we could not have picked a better weekend to go, the weather was perfect! I think we are going to make an annual family trip out of it! :)
We spent Labor Day weekend at Lake Tapps as we do every year and it was a ton of fun as usual! It was a little extra special this year because we also celebrated Blayne's 1st Birthday! The weather was wonderful and we had a really great weekend just enjoying time with family & friends and spending it at the lake is always nice :)
Also in September, Ryan went on his annual guys golf trip to Alta Lake...he had to miss out last year because Blayne was due any time! He enjoyed the 2 rounds of golf per day that they seem to think is a good time :) It is a fun trip that he really looks forward to and it's a good way to wrap up the golf season...or "wind down" the season I should say!
Just last weekend we celebrated Kaylin's Grandma Dolly's 90th Birthday and also had Blayne baptized at the Catholic church in Black Diamond, WA. It was a big weekend and I think the Baptism was the best gift that Grandma could have asked for :) My sister Kelsey & her husband Ryan also had their two kids Baptized at the same time, so it was nice that would could have them done all together.
All in all we had a wonderful Summer and we already have some fun things planned coming up this fall and winter. The holidays should be really fun this year with Blayne, looking forward to it!
