10 Months

Our baby is 10 Months! She is so super smiley and easy going these days, we just can't get enough of her! She will eat almost anything we put in front of her, and still drinks about three bottles a day. She gets up about once a night, that will end soon hopefully! She wears 12-18 month clothes, size 3 diapers, and size 4 shoe. Scarlett's hair is getting really long, blonde, and curly (like Caroline's). She is now sleeping with a blankie and still sleeps on her belly. Caroline still makes her laugh the loudest. She is standing on her own now and can balance for 10 seconds or so. Her first steps are SOOO close! 



We love you to pieces baby girl! 

Nephew Time

our nephew James came in town to participate in Notre Dame's football camp, and while he was here Patrick took him to do some really cool things! Most importantly they got a tour of the ASU stadium, new locker rooms, Tillman tunnel, field, and even got to meet the new coach! What an awesome experience!


hula girl

Caroline pulled out her hula outfit from our trip to Hawaii 3 years ago, and learned some hula moves! 





Lee's Ferry

Patrick went on his yearly trip to Lee's Ferry with his Dad and Uncle Charles and they scored big with LOTS and LOTS of fish! This time of year the fish are really biting and they took advantage! The story goes, they caught over 200 fish in two days! WOW!

Lake Cavanaugh

After a fun week at Turtle Rock we headed to Lake Cavanaugh for the weekend to enjoy the last bit of our trip! The Kane extended family just tore down and rebuilt their cabin, and it turned out just beautiful! The weather was a bit cold and rainy (just about perfect for the sun drenched Phoenicians!) so we holed up in the cabin, lit fires, played games, watched the olympic trials, ate yummy meals, and relaxed together! It was the perfect way to end the trip!
