Visitors

Jordan's older brother, Matt, is deploying for the first time next month, to Afghanistan. For his pre-deployment leave, he drove here from White Sands, New Mexico. A few days later, Jordan's mom, Vickie, flew in to join in on the fun! We had such a great time visiting and playing tourists in our own town, and Chandler had so much fun with his Uncle Buff Stuff and Gramma Vick!

While they were here, Jordan, Matt, Candace (my friend and Matt's girlfriend) and I went to Denver to watch our LA Angels take down the Colorado Rockies. It was such a great game, although it was SCORCHING hot at 95 degrees at 6,500 ft with absolutely no shade. We all left with a little color (varying from shades of bright red to tan) and smiles on our faces.

Celebrations

Both within the same week, 

we celebrated my very first Mother's Day,  

and Jordan and I celebrated our 2nd Anniversary!

Spending an entire week celebrating my family was absolutely wonderful. I'm the luckiest girl in the world to be able to call those two boys my own, and I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world.

Jordan and Chandler, I love you guys so much!

THREE MONTHS OLD!

 CHAN CHAN IS THREE MONTHS OLD!

I cannot believe how quickly time is flying, with this little love. At three months, Chandler...

is extremely ticklish,

has found his voice and baby-talks all day long,

loves bath time, and has begun splashing around,

is almost grown out of all his size 3 month clothes 

*le sigh*,

has also almost completely outgrown his size 1 diapers,

sleeps in his own room now, from 8:00pm to 7:30am,

tries so hard to suck his thumb,

and holds his head up like a champ.

We're BACK!

OH MY BLOG! I've been so busy changing diapers, that I almost forgot about le blog! Fear not: I'm here now, with plenty of time (thank prada for nap time) to update you all on what's been going on in the House of Dow, over the last month.

Between visits from family members, a growing baby, holidays and all the other happenings, we've had a busy few weeks. So sit tight and check back soon for lots of updates!

Our Trip to Utah

Chandler and I went on a trip to Utah! 

There, he met more of his family, 

and played with new baby friends! 

He was an absolute dream on the plane, wide awake and looking around while not making a peep, on the way there. On the ride home, he slept from security in Salt Lake City, all the way to baggage claim in Denver! He's a great travel buddy. Unfortunately, Jordan couldn't come with us, since he's been training in the field for the last six weeks (I finally get to pick him up today!).

We surprised his Grandma Vickie (Jordan's mom) at work- she had no idea we were coming into town. It was an incredible moment, watching her look up from her computer, to unexpectedly meet her first and only grandbaby. Truly amazing.

Chandler also met his Auntie Rainbow Cat (my little sister, Aimee), his Uncle Jared (Jordan's oldest brother) and a few other family members and friends. He had lots of snuggle time with his Sassy (my mom) and GG (my Grammy), which allowed me to catch up on some beauty sleep (fabulous).

We had a great time in Utah, and can't wait to go back- next time, we'll be bringing our big man of the house. If we didn't get to see you, I apologize and we'll see you next time! Love to all!
