Just Because

I love the simple things in life such as flying a kite!

Fun in the sun

Now that Devin is home we are able to go more places and enjoy the warm weather! It took forever for the summer to arrive but we are making the most of it and there is still more to come!

"Up" house

We were watching the news when they announced that the "up" house had been built. I was even more excited when they said it was in Herriman. It only took us about 3 min to get there. It was really fun to see. To go inside and take a look you have to buy tickets =(  Another reason everyone should come visit us in Herriman!

 

 

What would you do for a free meal?

Chic-fil-a was having a cow appreciation day and for everyone that dressed up like cows received a free meal. My friend Adrea and her family were planning on going so they invited us to come. Of course i was super excited but Devin was not looking forward to making a fool out of himself. Over all the food was great and we had a lot of fun.

 You can't tell we have spots but we do, I wish i could have taken a picture of just the girls but my camera died! They looked so cute

This is my cute friend Andrea and Maci

Her cute little family!

Yayllowstone Park!

Over the weekend we went to Yellowstone! It was fun to spend extra time with Mindi and the family before they head off to London. I was also grateful my mom was able to come. She is always fun to have around and she tells the best stories even if some are really hard to share. We were able to see all sorts of fun things and eat yummy food. I think my favorite part was watching Devin taking everything in and enjoying every part of the cabin. I think the cabin is one of Devin's favorite places to be. He never complains and always is trying to clean it up or fix things that need to be fixed.  My other favorite part was when Colby roasted my marshmallows for smores all because i didn't want to be attacked by mosquitoes and because it was cold and dark outside. Thanks Colby.

I really love Buffalos.  I think if I wasn't fascinated with Hippos these would be my favorite animals. All because their heads are so big and awesome looking.

    Natalia came home with over 15 mosquito bites and 10 were on her head =(

Look who is growing!

It seems crazy to me that both Natalia  and Laila continue to grow so fast. I had both girls weighed and measured at their last doctors appointment. I was shocked when the nurse mentioned that Natalia had grown 2 inches since January but hadn't gained a pound. I only wonder what goes through their minds when they see that Natalia has fallen off the charts again. I am not bothered because only I know what goes on in my home and how much Natalia eats through out the day.

Natalia"s Weight: 27 pounds, Height: 38 2/8 inches tall

Laila on the other hand is on the charts  and growing as she should be according to the charts. I am starting to really disagree with charts. I am just grateful both my girls eat well and are very active. If that ever changes then I will start being more concerned.

Laila's Weight: 22.2 pounds, Height: 29 4/8 inches tall

Did I mention they are both very smart and they both like to read books!

Before i forget, we have a new addition to the family Tomate! My plants are growing so fast and are starting to flower. Except it is really windy where we live that the wind broke the tops off the plants =(



Happy Birthday LuLu!

Laila is now a year old! I can't believe it but we have the pictures to prove it.

This picture doesn't show how excited she was when the cake was brought in and we were singing her the birthday song.

She wasn't sure what to do with the cake so Devin had to give her a taste. I was surprised because she usually eats anything we put on her tray.

It didn't take long for her to dive into the cake.

She also shared with all her nieces and nephews. Sorry Gavin I wasn't expecting everyone to dive in =(

Thanks for all the gifts everyone!
