Family Reunions...

Anderson Family Reunion
Dahlberg Family Reunion
While in MN we had a couple family reunions with the Andersons (Donna's side) and the Dahlberg's (Ed's side). They were both tons of fun and it was so much fun to see everyone!!

Family Photos





Last weekend we took Keaton to get his 3 month photos taken.  We also got a couple family photos too. 

On Monday Mike and I celebrated our 1 year anniversary! My what a year we have had!  My Mom and my Aunt Mary came to Boise to see Keaton so they watched him while we had a wonderful date. We went and had a couples massage and then went out for sushi. Happy anniversary to my marvelous husband. You are the best dad and partner I could ever ask for. I love you more than anything and am thankful everyday to have you in my life.  Keaton and I are very blessed.

We spent the last ten days in Minnesota visiting Mike's side of the family. the trip included many exciting things and Keaton meeting many of his Dahlberg/Anderson relatives for the first time.  We had a great time and it was super hard to leave. Keaton visited the Mall of America, downtown Minneapolis, went to a Twins game, spent time at his Papa's cabin on Big Sandy Lake, enjoyed two family reunions, met his Great Grandma Anderson,  celebrated Ronnie's 3rd b-day, clelbrated Nana's 60th b-day, visited Ralph and Grace Schjeldahl's amazing property, fished with his Dad and went on a boat ride on his cousin Tim's boat.  

There are many more pics and stories to come. We left our camera cord in Minnesota. We are waiting to get it back to download the rest of the pictures.

Our BIG boy.....

This is an old photo from the 4th of July...but I just had to post. What you can't see in this photo is that Wendy and Keaton have the same hairdo...and doesn't he look thrilled?

We took Keaton to the Dr. today for his 2 month well baby (he is 10 weeks this Friday!!) and immunizations. He weighed in at 13.85 (that's thirteen and a half pounds) and 24 inches. He is in the 90th percentile in each. The measurement that surprised us was the size of his head...he is only in the 55th percentile for that measurement. I don't remember the exact circumference. He has a clean bill of health. The only thing we need to watch is his favoritism of the right side of his head. We just need to work with him on looking to the left as much as possible. So, if you see us out and about approach him from the left side!! LOL!

We head to Minnesota tomorrow for ten days. Keaton is going to meet his Dahlberg and Anderson relatives. This will be the first meeting for Uncle Doug, Aunt Lauri and cousin Ronnie. We can't wait to get there and see them!!

He is officially 8 weeks today!! I still have a bunch of videos to post but I am having some problems with the formatting.

Since the last update...








Sorry, it has been a while since the last update.  Keaton keeps us busy!!  Since the last update Keaton has been on a camping trip to Redfish lake with our friends the Wong's, our other friends the Weaver's and Nana Donna and Papa Ed.  While there we met up with Barb and Greg who are camp hosts at Redfish and good times were had by all. The weekend included fishing for Mike, a horseback ride for me, being spectators at the first Redfish Triathlon and much more!! Unfortunately somehow the pics from the weekend were deleted!! So you'll just have to take my word for how much fun we had.  

For Keaton's first fourth of July we headed out camping again. This time we headed to Wallowa Oregon (one of our favorite destinations) for a five day trip.  This trip also included the Wong's (of course...they are our ultimate camping buddies), Nana Donna and Papa Ed and also Doc Shmooops and Miss Sarah D! Highlights of the trip included gourmet meals, a sunset booze cruise, shopping in my favorite little town of Joseph and one hell of a rain storm. This time we have pics to prove it!! 

This weekend we are heading to Spokane to catch up with Grandma Dona and Grandpa Ed and all of the Post Falls relatives.  Also, Tracy and Betsy get to finally meet Keaton!  

I hope this finds everyone doing well. We love and miss you all!!

To follow are a few pics to catch you up on where we left off :)
