Tricky-or-Treat

Dietrich helped us carve our pumpkins this year and since it is always a competition, I need to announce the winner: Mitch and Dietrich with their scary version of President Obama. We finished the evening with trunk-or-treating at the church (but it was indoors because it was raining). Dietrich was the best looking skeleton boy there. He was so polite when trick-or-treating; he would always say "thank you", even if he didnt like the candy he got.







Happy Halloween!

Dietrich's first steps

On October 6, 2010, Dietrich, only 9 months and 7 days old, took his first steps. He took 4 steps toward Kristin when she really wasnt paying attention to him. Since then we have been trying to get it on video, and tonight was our lucky night. See for yourself how amazing our kid is. He's funny becuase he wont do it when you want him to, but when no one is looking, he will just walk all over the place.

Pics of Dietrich

We haven't posted anything in a long time so here are some pictures of our handsome son.

Lemons make us laugh

D is so Strong

Dietrich has been amazing us with his recent expeditions:

-He has been crawing since 5 months and just keeps getting better and faster
-He can go from crawling to standing, holding onto the couch or something
-At 7 months he is pulling himself up on things like the treadmill
-Just last night, at 7 1/2 months, Kristin was giving him a bath and he stood up and then let go of the side of the tub and was standing all by himself for about 10 seconds, then he grabbed the side of the tub again and sat down.

We will try to get pictures next time of our amazing son.

Jeff's Wedding

My little brother Jeff got married last week to Jenna Lowder. We had a great time celebrating them in Oakland California. Check out the pictures.

Pictures from May

Here are some pictures from May. We celebrated my little sister's, Ali, Birthday and my Birthday. Dietrich got me a kite and Kristin got me a Grill Topper so I can cook fish on the grill. She also gave me a chocolate melter so she can make me chocolate cinnamon bears and oreos. They are delicious.
