The Kartchner's: December 2014

November 2014

Devon's 24th Birthday!!

We got this coupon in the mail for a free pizza at this restaurant in Moscow (the neighboring town). So we thought we would try it out. When we showed up we were pleasantly surprised to find it to be a fancy Italian restaurant that does fire oven pizza. The atmosphere of the restaurant was so fun. However it was a little too fancy, Devon and I couldn't figure out what 3/4 of that the menu was saying. So we ask the waitress what some of the most popular pizza were and then went with that.

To our surprise the pizza came with kale and broccoli!!
Happy Birthday Devon
(Don't worry guys, I made chicken crescents for his birthday dinner.)

Devon requested pumpkin pie for his Birthday cake.

Visit From the Tracey's

Deja, Alaya, and Kinzie Tracey came to visit us!!

Watching "Tangled"

This is a cool park in down town Pullman. It was very fun!

Alaya, and Kinzie amazed me, they are so brave. This was a very big slide and both girls loved it.

It reminded me of our old elementary playground with the huge slide. It was everyone favorite. We felt like we were on top of the world. This one was on a hill so you were never very far off the ground.

We thought this teeter totter was pretty cool.
I think Mom and Dad need one in their back yard.

I love Clay's Face in this picture

Kinzie Having a great time.

Clay was loving story time with Aunt Dej.

I loved having Deja here to help me keep up with the dishes.

Watching the neighbors unload the hay into the barn.

Don't know how these girls did it, but they both fit into

Clay's bath tub.

The night before they left. Alaya was having hard time going to sleep. Even thought they had to get up at 3:30 to catch their flight home. We were so glad they could come see us!!!

Clay is 9 Months Old!!

Isn't he so darn cute!! I love this little boy so much. He keeps every day interesting. He is very busy, and wants to grow up way to fast.

Here are some of the things he is doing.

*He loves to get into just about everything.

*He loves to talk

*clap his hands.

*walk when we are holding his hands or hold on to any of the furniture to walk.

*He gets up on his tippy toes to see and reach just a little bit farther.

* he will eat anything you give him. He is not a picky eater.

*He will say mama when he is sad.

* Get supper excited when Daddy comes home.

Merry Christmas!!!

November 21 & 22, 2014

We decided to celebrate Christmas early this year. We are planning on flying down to AZ for Christmas break, but did not want to take all of our stuff with us. We also wanted to do it when Devon was not stressed over finals so we thought the weekend before Thanksgiving would work.

Christmas Eve...

Christmas...

Clay was surprisingly more interested in his toys than he was in the wrapping paper and boxes.

Road Trip to Sequim!
It is a 6 1/2 hours to Sequim from Pullman. With only two stops we made it in 7 hours. Clay was an angel. He was so good. I don't know how I got so lucky to have such a happy baby!

The Tacoma Bridge.

Thanksgiving!!

Clay really liked playing with Logan.

Sequim is a beautiful place!

Thanksgiving Dinner

A visit to the beach

(Clay was a sleep in the car.)

Devon was bathing Clay, when all of a sudden Clay started to grunt. All mother know what I mean by that. Yep Clay poop in the bath tub. Devon was a little traumatized.
