Visit to see Kaylee and Daemeon

On July 20, 2011 I was able to go see Kaylee and Daemeon.  It had been a month since they left us, so I decided to see how they were doing and enjoy some time with them.

Kaylee with Quinn.  She looks so big.

Daemeon with Quinn.  He's growing and growing.

All three kids together.

Fun times with Quinn

Here are some fun pictures that I took of Quinn the month of July and the very first of August.

Quinn holding his hands together while I was holding him.  July 13, 2011

Quinn holding his hands again.

Quinn wearing size 4 Nike shoes-way too big, but fun to see on him. 7-21-11

Quinn wanting to help hold his bottle.  7-30-11 (4 months old)

 It is time to introduce solids into Quinn's life.  Here is his first tasting of rice cereal.  He didn't give many funny looks, but he did try to spit it out with his tongue.  8-1-11



Quinn's messy face after he's done eating.

These are some addition odds and end pictures:

Quinn grabbing his feet. He likes to do this all the time now.  7-29-11

Lowe Family Reunion - July 9, 2011

We were able to go to a little bitty town in Utah to a family reunion, for my mom's family.  The turn out was very, very small, which I'm sure it is because it was in a teeny-tiny town.  Out of my mom's 11 siblings, only 4 of them showed up with very few of their own children.  It wasn't the biggest reunion I've been too, but it was still fun and enjoyable seeing those family members I haven't seen for awhile, or even those I don't remember.

Independence Day 2011

I, Nicole, headed to my parents house on July 3 to see my two sisters visiting from Colorado-plus, I wanted them to see Quinn in person, since they've only seen pictures.  I spent all day on the 3rd with my family, then 1/2 of the 4th with my family, then I spent the other 1/2 of the day with Joey and his family.  Quinn was able to meet Joey's dad and step mom, who were driving through town and stopped by before they headed back home to New Mexico.  I didn't do a very good job taking many pictures of the events that we did, so here are mainly pictures of Quinn being held by different people and my niece and nephews.

 My sister, Celeste, snapped this picture of me and Quinn sleeping together.

 Quinn being Quinn.

 My beautiful mother holding Quinn.

 My sister, Brittany got sick on the 4th-so she's not doing too well.  :(

 My niece, Abigail, playin with the kitty.

Nephew, Emerson, did not want to stop making his Lego "boat" to take a picture for me.

 Niece, Maggie, holding Quinn.

Nephew, Jaron, holding Quinn.  Maggie wanted to take a picture, so she actually took this picture.

Navajo Lake and Cascade Falls- June 30, 2011

I needed to get away from my home and have some family time with Joey.  We headed up to Navajo Lake and Joey did about 10 minutes of fishing, then decided he didn't want to do that anymore.  We then headed over to Cascade Falls, which is behind Navajo Lake.  Cascade Falls is an outlet of Navajo Lake, where the water comes out of a rocks/cave.  A good friend of mine told me about this hike and I'm glad she did.  I absolutely loved it-plus, it was only about 1 mile, or a little more long, round trip.  Here are some pictures of us at Navajo Lake and then on our hike to and of the Cascade Falls.

 Joey with his goofy face.  This is what he does when he doesn't want to take a picture.  He's getting his fishing pole ready at Navajo Lake.

 Kiza stopped for a split second to get a picture.  She was having a blast playing with all the sticks on the ground and the water.

 Joey and Kiza out by the lake.

 Nicole and Quinn at Navajo. 

 This is on the hiking trail to the Cascade Falls.  Joey pointed out the hole in the rock on the top left.  We thought it was really neat to see.

 This is me looking up to the right from the hiking trail. 

 Joey, Quinn, and Kiza at the little rest area where they have a bench.

 Cascade Falls.  Isn't that beautful?

 Down from the waterfall.  I am up at the waterfall and Joey took Kiza down to the water.
