We love our cousins!

So my sister is in Utah & I have been helping out with her baby. Emry and kyler have been playing this week. They play really good together until one of them wants a toy the other one has... then it is a screaming war. Today they were laughing and giggling to each other all day! So I decided to put a baby Einstein video in and sit them on the couch to see how long it would last.... and it did for about 20 minutes! They watched in awe as they learned new words. I loved watching.

One step at a time!!

Holy cow my baby is walking!!! AHHHH!!! I can't believe it, he is growing up so fast!! He was trying to walk, so we got him a new toy and off he went. He is like running now! Without his walker he has taken a few steps! I don't think me or my house is prepared for a tornado. I'm scared, but so excited for him.

A nation wide Fast

I thought this was a very cool idea! You're amazing Gina, so I thought that this might help to pass the word along.

NATIONAL FAST FOR OUR SOLDIERS AND THEIR FAMILIES - August 3rd (which is also International Friendship Day....interesting!!!)

I know our Heavenly Father loves us, and he is watching over our soldiers. I know that the power of fasting can bring great results. I have faith that if we just trust in the Lord, he will provide a way. I know it's unrealistic to think our soldiers are all going to be safe and sound, and that all of them will return home, but I do know that we can pray for the strength and courage to face the heartaches of war. I know we can heal the heart of the soldiers who come home who have seen more than we could ever imagine. I know we can restore the faith and happiness in ALL of us who stress and worry about our soldiers.

I know that regardless of religion or creed, God loves ALL of us, and wants us to live happy lives. We are all brothers and sisters. Let's reach out to those that have less than us, those who have lost more than us, and those who fight for our rights, even at the cost of their lives.

........WILL YOU JOIN ME?

A day at the park!!

Last week we went to the tauphus park to play on the toys... WOW they have an amazing park that is wheelchair accessible! It was so fun! Our friends, Brandon & Stephanie Mecham went with us. He is Andy's friend from High School & his wife and I have had fun getting to know each other. Their little girl Haylie is so cute, her and Kyler play together and have so much fun. Here are some pictures of the day! Haylie trying to give Kyler a big smooch!
Sharing the spinning toy, they loved it!
And the best picture of them all... they hung on the monkey bars... for a long time! Andy of course did it first to poor kyler... Then when it was so cute... the guys put them both on there.

This sounds fun.... Memory Game

Here are the directions: 1. As you comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! 2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

My Friend Bekah had this on her blog... it sounded fun.

Our Weekend camping

My family always goes camping over the 4th of July to Indian Creek near Palisades Reservoir. It was a nice weekend. The weather was very hot... and at times windy! We went boating majority of the weekend! Here are some of the pictures... Thanks to SueAnn... the batteries died in my camera the first day! Bummer!! Kyler's first experience tubing... he LOVED it... as long as the wind wasn't in his face!! Kyler sleeping with his teddy bear! Soaking up the sun at the lake!! The water was a little chilly but felt nice compared to the heat!Sitting around the campfire after all the kids were asleep! My niece Emry & Kyler in the tub in SueAnn's camper!! They were very very dirty babies!!
