One Much Needed Vacation!

We had a wonderful time out in California. We stayed with my aunt and uncle who live in the Thousand Oaks area just outside of LA. We had mostly beautiful weather. While out in California we went to the Ronald Reagan Museum (this was really neat), went to Disneyland for 2 days (we even got FREE tickets!!), shopped in Hollywood at The Grove and did the drive through Beverly Hills (Rodeo Drive) and then up the coast to Malibu. We had a nice and relaxing trip, Dave was sick some of the time but was a great trooper and still did everything. Bo did awesome on the plane, we even got comments on how good he was! Praise God!! We just might fly again. Bo seemed to enjoy Disneyland he just liked looking at the characters from a distance, he didn't like being to close. Disney had a great Christmas parade, that we saw the first night there. It really got me into the Christmas spirit. I just wasn't ready to come back to the bitter cold!

Winter Wonderland!


With our first snow fall here we are enjoying the beautiful site of snow from indoors!! We did take Bo out monday afternoon to see his reaction. He wasn't so sure at first, but doesn't seem to be afraid of it. It was a little windy and the snow was blowing but he just wanted to help Dad scoop the drive. Hope you are staying warm this week!

15 month check-up


On Thursday we had Bo's 15 month check up with Dr. Boe. Bo is one healthy, happy little guy! What a joy he has brought to Dave and I we couldn't be more blessed! Some of Bo's current interest are tractors (this definitely his #1 choice), being chased by someone, reading books, eating, and being outside.

At the appointment Bo weighed in at 24 lbs 10oz (50%), and was 31 3/4 inches (75%).

BAM-BAM

This Halloween we spent the evening at Grammy and Papa's house. Bo went trick or treating with cousins Kennedy and Reece, we had pizza and the little ones loved to head to the door every time in rang. They weren't quit sure what to think of the trick or treader's.
Pebbles and Bam-Bam they are 2 of a kind!

Brody Alan Bauer


Two weeks ago, Bo was introduced to his new BOY baby cousin! We were soooo excited to have a little boy join the family. Brody was born Oct. 7! Congrats to Uncle Brock, Aunt Linz and Reece! WE LOVE OUR LITTLE BRODY


Time to Update...

So much has been going on. Dave has been harvesting for a about a month and has been working long, long, long hours. We have been able to ride a few times with him, they are on the other side of town so we are waiting till this week when they move to our side, right by the house to ride more with him. Bo LOVES riding in the combine and tractors with Dave. He just sits on Dave's cooler and away we go. Here are a few pics from Fall 2008 Harvest!

I'm A Big Brother Now!!


Stutzman Baby 2 coming May 6, 2008!

A Day at the Rader Pumpkin Patch!

Friday, we had a play date with Kennedy and Aunt Jodi so we headed over to the Rader Pumpkin Patch and had a great time playing and running all around the yard! Bo was really into Tom the Turkey and Samson the dog! I think we may have a little bit of an animal lover on our hands? I don't know where he gets this because Dave nor I care for animals!

My Buddy and Me!

Since March I have been watching Kennedy 3 times a week while Jodi is off at work. The days are slowly coming to and end. Bo and Kennedy have grown so close in this time. Each day they play more and more together and are to a stage where they imitate everything the other does. It is so cute! Kennedy will soon be at home everyday with her Mommy, which I am so happy for Jodi to get to stay home. But we will miss our little Miss. KK. Here are a few picture of the two of them at play!

Labor Day Weekend



We had a very busy weekend. On Friday night we headed to the LHS football game vs my old school RHS. WOW, did this bring back some high school memories!! That is probably the biggest thing I miss about HS Friday night football games.
Then on Saturday we headed down to Palmyra, IL to spend some time with our friends the Landes's. Angie and I talked about the kids and the little ones played so well together. Bo and Baylee still has a nice ring!! Dave and Landon talked farm, what else?!?! We had a great time catching up!
On Sunday G&G Stutzman came up for lunch and spent the night here with us. We had a great time with them.
Finally, on Monday we cleaned the Baby Fold house for Uncle Matt to move into! We are excited for him to be so close and to be working with Dave. Here is just a few pics from the weekend.

They really did get along good!!!

We're Walking!!


Over the past 2 weeks Bo has been practicing hard on the walking skills. In the past few days he has almost forgot crawling. What a fun time this has been for us to see him develop this large milestone. It has also been a little nerve racking, the wobbling and bumps on the head. He is such a little toddler and the baby traits are almost gone:(

1 Year Update


I am a little behind, but here is Bo's 1 year update. Bo turned 1 on July 28th, wow can't believe he is 1!! He keeps amazing us! Tonight he really is starting to show a lot more interest in walking . He took about 2 steps by himself, just give him a couple weeks and he may be off on his own. He has such a fun loving personality ( we really hope he keeps it!!) He has changed our lives in so many ways and what a blessing that has been!
At his one year check up, Bo weighed in at 22 lbs 12oz (50%) and was 30 1/2 inches long (70%). I think the height is my side of the fam!!

Happy 4th of July

Lauren, Brooke and Bo


Bo had sprung a leak and wasn't happy to be sitting in it!!











We spent our 4th of July with the Bauer side of the family. We headed to the big town of Cissna Park for a Bauer Reunion. Then headed on home mid afternoon. We didn't make it to the fireworks this year every one was asleep by the time they started! Dave didn't have to work all day so we really enjoyed the day with Daddy!

Splish, Splash...

This week the Kimball Pool has opened!!! The water is still a bit chilly but we did manage to get our feet wet. Bo is not a fan of the pool right now, Mommy is going to work really hard to get him to be a little fishy!! He did enjoy Kennedy's splash table!


Kennedy, Bo and Austin
They sure did enjoy watching each other spalsh!

Family Time

Last weekend Uncle Hans and Jared and soon to be Aunt Rebeckah came to visit us from Ohio. We sure had fun seeing them, it had been a long time since we had seen them. Thanks for coming to our house!!


Bo loves riding with Daddy on his "gas saver"

Grandma Stutzman and Bo

Grandpa Stutzman really makes me laugh!
