First Parade and 11 months!

We took Laex to his first Parade - of course we (I) forgot the camera, but he really could've cared less. Lehi had a fun miniture float parade - it was very cool with lots of really fun floats - and a bit too many cheerleaders - I guess cheerleading starts at like the 2nd grade - and they all have to be in the parade.

And, our little guy is now 11 months old - I hardly can believe that he is growing so fast. Last year at this time I was 8 months pregnant working and trying to finish college - WOW! Here are a few of his new things:
*Attitude - that personality is showing through everyday! He is very curious and mischievious, lets hope he uses it to his advantage when he gets older.
*He loves to walk around the house carrying anything and everything - he has recently learned how to climb onto the couch, but he thinks he can just walk right off - pretty much he gives me a heart attack everyday!
*He is very social and has a contagious smile. He flirts with all the girls everywhere we go and we always get comments on how friendly he is.
*He's getting smarter by the day. He can follow simple commands like "go get your blankie" and he knows where your Nose is - he hasn't quite figured out his own Nose.
*He LOVES to be outside - if we even get close to the door he gets so excited, and he is addicted to otter-pops, thanks to his dad!

We love you buddy!

Rodeo

So, we've had a crazy week as we are all trying to recover from the dang flu - yuck! I think we're almost better.

LeGrand's Mom is in town from Mississippi and offered to come stay and watch Laexin so we could go out, I was so excited as we don't get out much and when we do I worry about being home early enough for the baby-sitter. So LeGrand took me to the Lehi Rodeo! Growing up in a "Rodeo" town kindof got me a bit addicted - I love going to the Rodeo, we even had a Rodeo Burger and Sno Cone! I have to admit though - I didn't appreciate what a great Rodeo Vernal has until I went to this one - it was good, but Vernal's is GREAT!

Sorry, no pictures - it's funny, when Laexin isn't around I rarely even think to take pictures - I guess that's how life changes when you have kids!

Liberty Park

Yesterday Laex and I joined the Dillons (Jen, Kali, Daxton and Stockton - Brinli had school) for a fun day at Liberty park having a picnic and playing in the water! We had a great time, as we always do with the Dillons!

5k and Bunny show

I know - the 5k was last friday but I've Finally gotten around to posting a picture - Kenz and I had a great time (I guess thats what it was) - Lets just say, she's in better shape than me :) - she left me in the dust. But I didn't come in last! thanks for running with me Kenz.

After the run we headed to Woodland for a Bunny show where my Dad got a pair of these:

Check out those ears!

When we were younger we had some of these bunnies - they get bigger than some dogs and follow you around like a dog - Dad is excited to have them and knows the grandkids will love them!

Laex already loves the bunnies!

full weekend and a Happy 1st Fathers Day!!

Our original plan was to spend another weekend in Vernal, unfortunately Laex has been sick all week with a fever and as we found out he has a respiratory infection along with trying to cut 4 top teeth! So...we decided to stay home and let him get better!





Yesterday we stopped by a airplane show...it was fun the airplanes were gas powered/remote control, Laex wasn't too into it though - he was more interested in all the people.



Then we took a trip to the nursery and picked out some bushes and flowers to finally plant the front flower bed. We were able to get it all planted and start working on the clearing out of weeds and rocks so that we can get the back yard finished next! Wow! And as a result LeGrand and I are SUNBURNED....

For this Happy Fathers Day we plan to spend the day relaxing and eating a meal that LeGrand picked out!

Happy fathers day to my Dad, LeGrands Dad,Trev, Ed, Duane, and JG!

PS - I forgot to mention, Laex's new thing now that he can walk...to carry around everything he can lift so the other day I caught him carrying around the camera case that is nearly bigger than him...LOL!

Girly Lunch

What a fun time we had - AGAIN - this time at Mimi's! I love getting together with these GREAT Girls! Thanks!

Sorry to Nevie who I believe I'm blocking with my big head!

Happy Happy Birthday...

TO ME!!! I'm a quarter of a century!

On the move :)

Here he goes...

2 more to go

I'm a few days late but our little man is officially 10 months old.

I can't believe that in two short months he will be a year. Time flys so fast, it makes me sad! He is such a JOY!

60 Years

We spent the weekend in Vernal, AGAIN...but this time was to celebrate my Grandparents 60th Wedding Anniversary. We spent Saturday doing all the things they wanted. We attended the 8:30 am session at the temple then we had lunch at the Golden Corrall and that evening we had a small reception complete with dessert and dancing.

They have been married 60 years today! WOW!! Congrats Grams and Gramps!
