Hello everyone! It has been almost a month since I've posted anything new on here so i figured i better get everyone all up to date.






Skylar Greyson is doing fantastic! He has gained 2 pound 15 ounces since being born and is just growing like a weed! He's definitely never going to let himself go hungry, that's for sure! He sill looks exactly like his mama too, which is just adorable! Very, VERY much a Knoll (which is my mothers side of the family!)





Adrienne and the little chica's are doing wonderful as well. Isabel started the first grade and is doing well. It's funny because she goes to school and for the first part of the day they speak only Spanish and for the second part of the day they speak only English. At first she was a little frustrated because none of the kids spoke English! But you should hear her now. She'll say an entire paragraph in Spanish and I'll just stand there looking dumb-founded! She really likes to bring home books that are in Spanish and Adrienne, who is completely fluent as well, and my six year old niece sit down and read them together. Makes me real jealous! I should have paid more attention in Spanish class!





And then there's always Sophia! She's great as well. Starting to pull away from speaking Chinese, and more towards her native language, English. Her and Natalie have become the best of buds. I know this because they fight like cats and dogs. Ahhh, isn't life grand!






Nattles is doing great as well. She is actually in the process of moving to a new school! One of the teachers that she had, whom she just adores, moved to a different school and they just so happened to have an opening for their preschool class as well! In talking with her teacher and the new childcare, I have decided to move her to that school at the beginning of November. She will be starting in the preschool room, which is GREAT! It will be hard to leave the other school because she has some wonderful friends (Emma Jo-Jo) there but this will be a great opportunity for her to meet some new ones as well! Other than that she is just being her normal two year old self. Silly as ever, and getting smarter and smarter by the day!






Well, i hope everything is going well for all of you and take care through this cold weather that we are about to be experiencing! Take care!

Meet Skylar Greyson










Hi everyone! I'm proud to present to you the latest addition to my gorwing family! I finally have a nephew! He came about 2:43 AM on September 7th and was about 6.5 to 7 lbs. It was late and they hadn't takem his measurements so I'll have to get those, but he's a doll! He looks like his mama too. He's got the "Knoll nose" to prove it! Hope everyone is doing well and have a great weekend!

Famliy day at Lake Chelan

This weekend, we took the kiddo's up to Chelan for a day in the sun! It was my two sisters, Sofia & Isabel, my mom and step-dad, My uncle Bob and two cousin Katie and Michael and Natalie and I. It wasn't that warm out, but it was just right and the water was PERFECT! We took the girls out into the water and they even managed to hitch a ride with Auntie Adrienne in the inter tube! I had the pleasure of towing my sister Terri, who is 9 months pregnant, around the lake. She wouldn't let me take a picture of her trying to maneuver the floatation device, but it was hilarious! Anyhow.....here are some pictures! enjoy

P.S.- if it's one thing I've learned about Sofia and Natalie, it's that you'll almost NEVER get "normal" with either one!

See what I mean about "normal"

Camping Trip Up Wheeler Ridge

Once again, bored.








Last weekend we took Natalie for a little camping trip up Wheeler. Almost everywhere was closed due to fire hazards, but we found a place that wasn't restricted and set up camp! We did some "hiking" and went looking for bugs. We ended up finding a bunch of bugs called "grubs", which are really disgusting by the way! Natalie and Trav did some "chopping" with their "choppers" and she even found time to boss her babies around. The trip was cut short however when we heard a bear comming into our camp. We packed Natalie up and went home about 9:30 PM that night but surprisingly everything was still in tact when Trav went up the next morning to tear everything down! I must say that was a first and pretty scary too!

Weekend at Lake Chelan

Here are some picutres of family weekend at Greg & Cheryl's cabin in Lake Chelan. Wyatt and Natalie played in the water and Aunt Cheryl bought them a pool to splash around in as well. However, there were no "dance off's"this time around because Amy wasn't there to show us how it's done! Well, take care all! This summer has gone by way to fast, so hopefully we can get out and enjoy what's left!

I think we are to big for the "kiddie" pool.
