Family Adventure Trips






Here's a picture of Maya and I getting ready to go hiking up Peavine Mountain (it's the mountain you can see from our front window), her face is somewhat hidden, but she's in the baby-pack that Jonathan and Sandy passed onto us, after Jeremy (Jonathan's brother)passed it onto him...thanks Collins family. The camera got left in the garage, otherwise you would see more pictures from the hike. The rest of these pictures are from Kim and I's trip to Yosemite National Park...amazing place! The pictures hardly give it just justice.

Summers End






The summer has been very busy for us, but is now slowing down a bit. We are making a trip to KC next week and then we should have a break for while. Here are some pictures of Maya over the summer that we wanted to share. We feel really blessed to have a such a happy little girl!

Three dealers and two job-offers later






We FINALLY purchased a car and got rid of two. It feels good to not have three cars anymore! We bought a Honda Pilot (from Courtesy Honda here in Reno) with 32k miles on it out the door for just a little over trade-in (we didn't even pay blue book private party value on it), lots of thanks to our friend and businessman Victor for valuable purchasing strategies and my dad (Pete's dad) for sound advice.

Latest Maya Pictures



We took these on the 13th of June. The guy in the picture is one of our boys from the youth ministry. She's a Boston fan! Thanks Reid Family.

Spring Man Trip

Check out the reflection on the lake.
We day-hiked/scrambled this beast. Bailey was very impressive!
We had to free-stand the tents on the rocks, because the grass was covered in snow.
There's Jeremy.
Bailey and me, sporting our warm clothes.

I went backpacking at the end of May in the Desolation Wilderness (South Lake Tahoe)with my friend Jeremy and Bailey. It was a short hike, a total of about 12 miles but a fun one. Instead of my usual style (seeing as many different places as possible) we packed in and made a basecamp at Lake Aloha and stayed there for about a day and a half. While we were there we day-hiked, threw rocks at the icebergs in the lake, napped, talked and laid around on the rocks. It was relaxing.

First swim...






















We made a trip to Sacremento/San Francisco for a graduation trip with the 6th graders. Maya went for her first swim at a water park on the trip. She slept through wading in the water!

Samantha Farnum(Munn), Kim's roommate from MNU came for a visit and made the trip to San Francisco with us. Alexa, Sam's daughter kept us laughing. She really liked to hold Maya.

Maya in the morning

Maya is a morning girl. Here are some of her morning pictures.




Grammy and Oscar












My Mom (Pete's mom) decided she didn't want to be called "Granny", or "Nana." She wanted to be called, "Grammy," because Maya was her "Grammy Award." So, we decided my Dad should be called, "Oscar." My parents came out and visited in April. Sorry, we are a little late getting the pictures up.

Family Trip













We made a trip to San Francisco when Nana and Papa Fawcett were here. Maya's first mini vacation and Nana and Papa's first trip to the west coast!
Maya had her dedication service on April 15th. She also had her first bath in the baby tub the night before the dedication. She wasn't and still isn't into taking baths!

more.......






Well, hard to believe that it has been about a week since the last set of pictures. We have been keeping busy with the babe and catching up on some sleep. Maya has still been nice to us, we are still getting about 6 hours of sleep a night without having to wake up to feed the little one. We have to go to the doctors on Monday to have her weight checked. We had an appt last Tuesday, and she has only gained an ounce. She had growth with her head and length. Her examine was all very good too, however we have to go back and have her weight checked on Monday. She is doing much better with how she is feeding and feeding more frequently. Keep us in your prayers if you think of us, we feel so blessed and know that God has been with Maya's life since the beginning and we know He will continue. I am including pictures with Nana and Papa and of course just Maya too. The one picture is Maya dressing up like a religious leader for the Easter musical at church! Not really, but we thought that she looked kind of like one!

The Cutest Little Girl in the World!






Here some more pictures of our little girl. Grandma Pat...Here is your picture of Melissa and the babe! The baby is doing great and has even been letting us get some sleep....about 5 hours for one part of the night. Bailey still likes the baby....but I think he checks out the bassinet every morning to see if she has left yet, but the kisses have not subsided. We hope you enjoy the pictures.

More Maya Pictures






Finally some more pictures! Maya is doing well. She is even letting us get some sleep! We thought we better include a picture with Bailey too. He is being a really good big brother and likes to check up on her in the bassinet and give her lots of kisses, which we are trying to regulate! Maya took her first trip to Lake Tahoe today with Nana and Melissa and Mom and Dad and big brother....so sunglasses were a must! Don't worry we didn't make her wear them out of the house. We hope you all like the pictures....we won't wait so long next time to post pictures...we are just really enjoying our little girl.
