   Mike and I took the girls to Ross Park and did some photos. I needed and updated one of the girls and individuals. They turned out really cute.

 

Girls update

     Brie has been a very good girl about a week ago she decided she didn't want to wear pull ups to bed and has been great at getting up in the middle of the night if she needs to go potty. What a big girl. Her vocabulary and girltude have been growing as well. Her famous sayings are "leave me alone", and "its not Brie's fault its your fault", "I promise, "stop it,". Her prayers are so cute she always remembers to thank for this day and pray for her family. Sometimes multiple times she will say the same name. She loves to dress herself and wear dress up clothes and shoes. She also tells you "you are her favorite." She is a great big sissy and is growing too fast.

    Rae is walking and running everywhere. She recently got her two eye teeth on top. She is a binky and bottle baby we are trying to wean her off. She wants to do everything her sissy is doing and understands a lot. She goes to get her shoes and gets in her carseat when we say "lets go." Her newest things are to hold her nose and say "honk honk" and when we say yucky she says"ka ka".She loves to wear her sissy's dress up shoes or ours on her hands and feet. loves to be outside and has stared throwing tantrums and sitting on the ground. We just moved her to size 3 diapers and is in 12 mos clothes. She is also growing so fast.

Steadmans Place

     In June we had the opportunity to go to Steadmans Place. A family that allows you to come to there residence. Where you can do slides, sandbox, swings, zip line, skeet shoot, and camp. It was beautiful and fun. We did the day w/the Nestlers and that evening we had our first family campout. We were lucky enough to borrow Grandpa and Grandma Nestlers Camper so we didn't have to tent it. It was super windy so we were glad we had somewhere to go. The girls did a lot better than I expected. They both loved the slide and swings. I think Brie's favorite was the little play house.

July 4 th

  I was able to get off work so we took the girls to the parade. We met Nana, Papa, Auntie, Uncle Shane, Grandma and Grandpa Nestler, Uncle Jake and Hunter.  It was super hot at 102 degrees so we felt like we were melting. After the short parade we went to Jamba Juice and then home. W lounged for a while then ordered some pizza. We decided it would be fun to have a water balloon fight. Later we were going to go up to the fairground but Brie was scared of the fireworks so we stayed home. Good thing too since the fireworks didn't go off til 11:15 pm. Had a wonderful time with family.

June Vacation

   We took the family on a small vacation to SLC the week of June 24. Mike and I started on Monday at primary children's where I had a doctors appt with Etheridge, and had a 24 hr holter. We stayed at Aunt Lindad and Uncle Bobs with no kids so mike could study for his first board on tues. Tuesday Mike went to take his board and Nana and Auntie brought the girls.
    Wednesday we took the girls to Hogle Zoo and Shari, Jaycee, Amaya, Aunt Sam, little Adam joined. It was fun to watch the bird show and see all the animals. I hope the girls enjoyed it. Later that day since it was 101 degrees we went to swim at Aunt Linda's. Rae didn't like the water at all bit Brie did.

 

    Thursday we took the girls and Amaya, Jaycee and Adam and Aunt Linda to jungle Jim's. the girls had a blast and rode the rides all day. Best 7.00 we spent. Rae loved the little jeep ride. Nana went with her the first time and I just missed taking a picture. Then she rode by herself, I was very surprised. She even went with Daddy on the roller coaster. Brie had a blast and was fearless as always. She loved the roller coaster and the carousel.

     Friday we picked up Grandma Clark and headed to the living Aquarium. It was really beautiful and to see all the animals and fish. My girls loved every minute of it. Brie loved walking like a penguin. We got to see Nemo and dory so Brie was pretty excited. They had all kinds of snakes and frogs too. A big octopus and tiny sea horses. It was a lot of fun. We are so grateful for our family.



Memorial weekend

  We had the opportunity to take the girls to Chesterfield on Monday. We had the opportunity to go to the church Papa helped restore which was cool. We also went on a hay ride and a rope swing, watched wood carvings. It was nice to get away for a day. We went with Nana Papa, and Jaycee it was fun
