On Tuesday...
...Keely turned 6 MONTHS!! (Okay so I wrote this a week ago and am now just finding a few minutes to finish the post...well the time thing and we have been having problems with the internet.)
So that day was marked with many things. I measured her...she is now 26.5 inches. I weighed her...she is 16.5 pounds. And, she got to start eating. She doesn't seem to like rice cereal all the much. She did eat better the second time around. So, she didn't like it the first two days and now we can't feed her fast enough. Tonight she gets to try some sweet potatoes.
Keely is also obsessed with her toes right now. She loves to hold them and suck on them. It's a great pasttime for her. It is hard to get a picture of her because she stops whenever you bring the camera around.

Catching Up
So, it's been a long time...and much has happened! So let's play a little catch up.
Keely had her first hair cut on May 24th. It's still so funny to hear people say, "she has so much hair!" when all she has is bangs. Kind of deceiving. Her first hair cut made her look so much older.
Last weekend we went to Dr. Shiroma's (the dentist Luke's mom works for) for a fishing day. He has a pond that he stocks with fish. Tyson had fun fishing for a few minutes. He caught one and was so excited to touch the Nemo. Luke fished with him for a few more minutes, but when no fish bit...he lost his ambition. We walked (well Tyson ran...like he does all the time!) up to see the animals. Tyson had a blast.
This is the cake that I made. I thought it tied in well with the fishing theme.
Keely taking her morning nap.
Tyson and the cousins.
I love the above picture!
Tyson got to help grandma collect the eggs. This lovely chicken instead of flying out of the coop decided at the last minute to turn around and fly at us. Luckily it didn't get anyone in the face. Luke got two scratches on his side from it.
Yesterday Tyson woke up deciding it was the day to start asking "WHY?". If you have been through this before you know how cute it can be and how annoying it can also get!
We are finally seeing some sun and weather out of the 50s! Woohoo! I was beginning to miss the miserably hot weather of OK.

The Last Couple Weeks
Wow! We have been here for one week already. I can tell you that a lot has happened...and there have been times of stress, times that I wasn't sure how we were going to get everything finished, and many times when I was just plain exhausted. We are finally a little more settled. I have most of our clothes hung up and out of suitcases. So, I am feeling a little bit better about everything. Our belongings are supposed to arrive in the next couple of days.
Keely has not been feeling that well since we have gotten here, probably the weather. We left OK at 5:00am and it was probably already (or still) in the 80s, and when we arrived in Portland it was in the low 50s. So, her congestion could be because of the weather, getting used to a different time zone, not sleeping well, different allergens...your guess is as good as mine...oh yah, she's been chewing on everything, teething?
Tyson is behaving so much better this past week than the week we packed. I hardly spent any time with him the week that we packed the house up. Our friend Stephanie came over 3 or 4 days to help with him. Thanks Stephanie! He behaved so much better while he had someone's attention.
Tyson's still potty training. Well he is potty trained, he just chooses when he goes on the potty and when he goes in his diaper. Yesterday we went to Target and he got to pick out all sorts of fun rewards. We are trying this out and seeing that within the next couple days if he will go on the potty all the time. I am also going to put him in big boy underwear cold turkey next week.
(I have heard that that works much faster, especially for boys. I'll keep you posted.

What we have done...
...over the last few days, doesn't seem like much. But, the house is definitely emptying. Our truck arrived today, so Luke carried all the boxes that we had filled done to it.
We still have lots to do, but have a goal to have the truck mostly loaded by Sunday. Then on Monday...the cleaning (at least it is only an 800 sq ft apartment.
Tomorrow is Tyson's Birthday (3rd), so I will take a break while the kids are napping to make him a orange basketball cake. We are going bowling tomorrow night with him. So, I will update this perhaps tomorrow with birthday stuff.

It feels so good to finally have started!
