The latest news

Jon's been doing a lot of fishing these past few weeks and here was one of his more note worth catches. This catfish was 20lbs and 33 inches long. Jamen was not thrilled about this big guy. He didn't mind the little ones but he freaked out when we got close to this one.

Jamen is like any other kid, they fall down, they get hurt but they get better pretty fast. This was our latest heart stopping moment when Jamen fell down some concrete steps, backwards and cut his head open. I don't think these pictures do it justice, it looked so bad. We had an EMT friend who checked Jamen's for neck and back for injuries, also for a concussion. He was fine, praise the Lord!

Two days later his head looked like this...

He is back to his old self...although, it never left:-)

Talking

I wanted to high-light the last two weeks events. The first being that school is going well and Jamen is liking childcare. He doesn't want to leave when come to pick him up. Secondly, we are having a baby girl due to arrive Dec. 20th!!! Thirdly, Jamen is starting to talk more and more, below is a video of him talking. See if you can figure out what he is saying.

Jamen talking...

First he says "all gone", second he says "banana" (he says it 2x) and lastly he says "thank you"!

Busy Bees!

Well its been while since I've written about what's been going on in our lives. Needless to say we've been very busy, but now that we are back in MO things are settling down...a little

We spent about 3 weeks with the grandparents and great grandparents this last half of the summer and it was great to see everyone! Below is the four generations of Quasts!

Here is a video of Jamen giving the kitty a bump...

A bump is when Jamen makes a fist and you make a fist and you bump them together. Oh and don't worry the cat doesn't have front claws!

Little Side Trip

The beginning part of this week was kinda busy but really fun! On Monday we headed south to check out a place called ECHO. I would write more about it but Jon wrote a great article about, so check out www.ntm.org/jon_quast to find out more. That was first big stop, we had met two other families for lunch and dinner earlier on Monday. On Tuesday we toured ECHO and finally celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary by eating the best steak I've ever had in Key West, FL! Yep, we drove all the way down to Key West. On Wednesday morning we got up and went to the beach. It was Jamens first time at the beach!

Jon and Jamen were ready for some fun in the sun

Here I am at 15.5 weeks at the beach

There were coconuts all over the place and I finally found a man selling them on the beach. Jamen and I enjoyed the fresh sweet coconut milk.

Jamen was fearless heading into the water, he went in all the way up to his chest (holding our hands the whole way) and then he found out he could lift his feet and float.

He found a small coconut to play with, it was better than a ball

Here is the beach at Key West, the color of the water was amazing!

Our last stop was at Pizza Fusion. They are a smaller pizza place located in 11 states but the really cool thing is they make gluten free pizza! I couldn't have more excited!! Jamen also enjoyed his first taste of gluten free pizza.

That was our trip in a nut shell. We covered a lot of ground but saw some great places and had lot of fun!

Mini golf

Jamen is getting so big but still as cute as ever!

Jamen and Harrison Ford

We went mini golfing with some friends on Saturday, Jamen was ready to play!

Dispite the heat, we all had fun!
