I haven’t had time to post pictures in quite a while so there will be a lot of pictures with this post!

Butch’s 60th

Mat’s Uncle Butch (first cousin once removed to be exact) turned 60 and we were able to make it up to his surprise party in Corona at Backwoods BBQ. This was the same venue of my Uncle Bob’s surprise 50th. It’s going to be obvious if any other Germans suggest a dinner at Backwoods that there’s a bunch of family members waiting to yell surprise.

Carleigh had fun and loved meeting so many new people! She also showed off her new walking (holding hands) skills!

As you probably already know, we bowl on a Wednesday league. We had to take Carleigh sometimes if we don’t have a babysitter. Today we were making up for missing last week’s league and Carleigh was able to actually fall asleep! Here is a cute pic.

We’ve been behind on posting pictures and will have a LOT of pictures to post coming up, but we just HAVE to get a couple pictures of Carleigh’s first Christmas up for all to see! Here are our favorites:

Carleigh is all ready for her first Halloween! Teresa made her costume this week, and today she tried it on! Here’s a couple pictures of our adorable daughter all dressed up for Halloween!!!

Carleigh got her first plane ride, and all 3 of us went to our first NFL game! Tiffany and I have previously tailgated a Chargers game, but never attended a game. We bought tickets a couple weeks in advance, but at the same time, e-mailed somebody from Craigslist about another set of tickets. He had them listed for over $300 because they were 2nd row 50-yard line tickets, but we weren’t going to pay much. We offered him $150 if nobody took them. A few days before our flight left we heard from him and nobody else had made an offer so they were ours! We promptly sold our nosebleeds and made some of our money back!

The first flight was from San Diego to Dallas, and Carleigh slept almost the whole flight. After our brief stay-over in Dallas we flew into Miami which Carleigh also slept through! Her first flights went really well and at only 3 1/2 months!
