Creativity

This is what we do at our house with laundry baskets (cause lord knows I don't use them as they are intended). His laugh is what makes us act like fools.

Baxter has been doing this funny laugh thing lately. He kinda sucks in air, which is probably not the safest thing to do while eating. But hey, I can't control how funny I am. And yes, that is a carrot in his hand. He loves teething on carrots. He is the best.

My Little Pumpkin Head

We took our little guy to the pumpkin patch the other day. Basically, it was just one big photo opportunity. That being said, our usual camera friendly guy was kinda being shy. I think it was the big tractors going by, or the other kids running around. Tanaka Farms was pretty neat, and we think Baxter will enjoy it a little more next year.

Thanks to Grammie Pammie for the cute pumpkin hat and onesie.

We had a bad case of "hat hair" from his pumpkin hat. Something about this photo makes me want to eat his face off.

He loved the big pumpkin, and was using it as a drum.

Baxter was a little weary of the scarecrow.

And here he is with a pumpkin more his size. We are looking forward to making this a tradition, and hopefully he will enjoy it more in the future.

Busy, Busy, Busy.

Our weekend started off with a bang! Friday night Baxter was able to hang out with Jack. They had a sushi date and all went well. Baxter is not photo ready in this pic, so he was trying to protect his perfect picture taking reputation.

Saturday Baxter stayed with Grammie Pammie while Derek and I went to Huntington Beach for his cousin Nick's Wedding. It was a lovely evening, and Lindsay made such a beautiful bride.

Reception photo taking fun with Erica and Sara. The three of us had such a blast together, and Derek and I were so happy to have them (and their brother Baxter) stay the night with us.

I think this is me being sexy. This is the look that landed me a husband. No doubt.

Sunday morning we took Erica, Baxter, Sara and baby Bax to Soup Plantation. Always a hit. After, we stopped by to visit Jackson. He was not happy about being put down for a picture. Baxter wants to know what is up with this kid :)

After visiting Jackson, we ran home, changed out of our PJs and headed to Seal Beach to visit grandma Jeanne for her birthday.

Bax and uncle Jim. They had very similar handsome shirts on. Perfect photo opportunity. Unfortunately, I didn't get any shots of my grandma Jeanne at her birthday celebration.

And then we were off to Westminster to celebrate Laurens birthday. Baxter was a real party poodle, and everyone loved him.

Baxter in a "Horvath sandwich". Lindsey and Lauren think he is pretty sweet.

He even helped Lauren blow out her birthday candles.

The bax man was pooped. Mommy and Daddy were pretty spent as well.

Happy birthday mom!

Last week we got together and celebrated my mom's birthday. It was a small, intimate affair. Just my grandma Daphne, Jim and Jac, my parents, and us. Jaclyn was so sweet, and made a fabulous dinner (that is why she is m.i.a in these photos).


Baxter loves his grammie Pammie. He is especially fond of the necklaces she wears. They keep him entertained since I hardly accessorize.



Bax and one of his favorite people, grandma Daphne. He is so content to just sit in her lap and play.

The Middagh family!

Teagan Grace Bradshaw

Yesterday, one of my bestest friends Kelly and her husband Stan welcomed their first child into the world. Teagan Grace is healthy, and weighs in at 7lbs 9oz. Derek and I stopped by the hospital yesterday, and I was able to snap these photos. Kelly is doing very well, and is happy to have all of this labor stuff behind her.


Precious little girl!

If I blog it, he will come.

The day after my last blog post, Kerie's water broke! Baby Jackson was eager to get here, and showed up about two weeks early. He is cute as a button, and has a good amount of dark hair. Kerie is doing great, and looking forward to being home by Saturday. We are all so thrilled for this new addition to the family!
