Lillian - 9 months, 10 months and 11 months

With all of this busy moving business I've forgotten to post Lilly's months pictures up

For her 9 month pictures, I made up a Viking Hat

For 10 months I got a few pictures of Lilly in her Sunday outfit and then I got some pictures of her in her Halloween costume. I made a Pikmin hat for halloween costume

For 11 Months I made a Sock Monkey Hat. I also tried something new. I got a knitting loom and made some little leggings to match the hat.

Timmy got a Sock Monkey hat too

We're Moving!

Just in case you haven't heard, we're moving. This is all happening very quickly. We visited Colorado in July and while we were there we got this feeling that maybe it was time to move back. We got home to Nevada the end of July and then took an unexpected trip to Utah the first week of August. Once we finally got home Greg started a serious job search. Within a couple of weeks he had some interviews and by the end of August he received a job offer with a company in Denver. He accepted the offer and then the real chaos began. We started packing and cleaning, getting our house ready to sell. We got the house put on the market the first week of September and received an offer just a couple of days later. Thank goodness we don't have to keep keeping out house spotless for showings, because Timmy is a little terror. We are so excited to be headed back home, and are so blessed that everything is moving so smoothing and allowing this happen. We'll be back in Colorado the beginning of October and we can't wait to be near our families again!

Kid love boxes, which makes packing kind of difficult

The Rim Fire

If you haven't heard there is a huge fire burning outside of Yosemite, one of the largest in California history. The fire has burned 280 square miles and is only 20% contained. We are about 2 hours away from Yosemite, so the fire is not really near us, but we are still feeling the effects. Apparently the smoke has a direct path into Carson Valley, so the air out here is super smokey. The Air Quality Index has the air quality in Reno rated at a 193 today. Air quality rated at "Good" is between 0-50. 193 is considered "Unhealthy" meaning "Everyone may begin to experience health effects; members of sensitive groups may experience more serious health effects." Reno has been rated in the Unhealty atleast once every 24 hours since the smoke blew in the middle of last week. I know that the first day the smoke blew in the air was rated at Very Unhealthy (between 201-300). You could see the ash in the air it was so bad. Unfortunately the AQI isn't measuring in Gardnerville specifically. I wouldn't be surprised if the air is worse here. The way the valley is formed we got smoke before Carson City and Reno did. Anyway, the smokey dirty air is keeping us inside. We'd love to get outside; our lawn needs mowed and has for over a week now. The garden needs weeded. Timmy is getting horribly restless (Greg and I are too.) But the unhealthy air quality is making all of that impossible at the moment. Seriously smoke, we haven't seen blue skies or the mountains (that are only 10 minutes away) for nearly a week.

Here are a few pictures from the first day of smoke. The air was yellow and the sun was bright red.

Lillian - 8 Months

Lillian is 8 months old today. She's a little expert at the army crawl and is always exploring around our house. She has 2 teeth. She can get her self into a sitting position. She still isn't a big fan of solid foods, like pureed fruits and veggies, but she seems to like dry cereal like Cheerios and Kix. Today for her pictures she got to dress up like a Cowgirl.
