A Few Firsts...

Every day it feels like our little baby is already growing up. I know, I'm really sounding like a Mom now, but it's true. I feel like she does something new almost everyday, and I can't believe how quickly she is changing. So... to document a few milestones, here are some FIRSTS she experienced in the last couple of weeks! We didn't capture pics of all of them, but I'll throw the ones up that I have!

First time in Oregon (obvious I know, but I'm makin' a list here people!)

First 18 Holes (that's right... she made it all 18. I was impressed.)First Tooth (she actually got her two bottom teeth on the same day, but has not permitted a photo to be taken yet. Stay tuned for documentation of the pearly whites.)

First Swim (I'm using the word "swim" very loosely... but she was in water, in a swimsuit, so we're calling it good.)First Highchair in a Restaurant

First Foods (Grandpa enjoyed feeding Linden, and I think her faves were apricots and avocado... and water from a glass.)First Photo Shoot (finally got her in front of her Uncle Scott's camera for the first time. We don't have the final pics yet, but I'm sneaking one little peek in here. :) )

Miss it Noonan!!

We have had a lot of fun golfing at Stoneridge Golf Course. Linden even joined us and survived all 18 holes!!! (with a feeding at the turn of course)

Brian has already played 5 rounds and hopes to get in at least 2 more before they fly home Saturday night... hopes.

The three ladies on the first tee...

Linden was clearly more interested posing for the camera than watching dad tee off...
(Quick explanation of Linden's outfit... she peed and crapped through her khaki pants by the 2nd hole... hence the crazy match. Her dad sort of liked it though...)

We were briefly joined by the Shaffers and had a fun time playing golf and hanging out!

Nathan and Kyle loved riding in the golf cart!

Oregon Get-away

We are currently on a 10 day get-away to visit Kacy's parents in Medford, Oregon. Thus far it has be a relaxing, date filled, golf filled vacation... thanks to the Grandparents!!!

Linden got to meet her 98 year old Great Grandma Alice. What a wonderful time and experience for both. Great Grandma Alice loved her up so much!!

Here is a picture of the family during the visit. 4 generations were represented!

Win a Hooded Romper on Piggy!

Hey friends... just wanting to share the wealth here. Piggy is doing a Giveaway this week for a free Hooded Romper! I absolutely love mine - it puts Linden to sleep almost immediately and is great for after bathtime. Go to Piggy's blog to enter and win! http://littlepiggywearscotton.blogspot.com

We will post some updates soon of our time visiting family in Oregon. But for now, the sun in shining, Linden is about to get up from a nap, and golf is on the agenda for this afternoon. Brian and I played on Saturday and he beat me by 3 strokes (nevermind how many muligans he gave me...) - I'm thinking victory today! :) Cheers!

Who's that girl in the mirror!?

Fun in the bathroom!

Trying out the backpack...

We decided to take advantage of the beautiful evening and take a stroll around the Bird Refuge. Linden got to try out her new backpack and it was a hit! Oh and check out this posting by Kacy on Linden's cute hat.

She was a little unsure at first, but by the end of the walk she was diggin' her new mode of transport!

Cheese!
