Our Cup Runneth Over

Our baby girl is such a joy and brightens our lives every day! Her big brother, Lil'Guy thinks she is great and we agree.
We moved the end of July and had the greatest help from my dear #2 sister and her third daughter. She and Lil'Guy had a ball playing and #2 and I had a good ol'time jumping into dumpsters for boxes. Sister #2 you are amazing and I am so grateful for all your help. We wouldn't have been able to move as smoothly with out your help. I can't thank you enough. The Elders Quorum in our ward was another blessing. Twelve men showed up with 5 pickup trucks and moved all of our belongings in two hours. God bless you all for your help.

Hubby and I went to see Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers in August and it was a lot of "pick'en" fun. We took Baby Girl and she thought he was pretty good too.
Third row front and center. Not bad at all. We could barely contain ourselves.

Our next big adventure was Baby Girl's Blessing. Hubby's sisters came with Hubby and friend. The Papa's and Buckabooe were great entertainment as well as Sister #2 and her entire family. We didn't know what to do with so much over flowing love and support. Below are some of our fun times during the weekend. Here is my Dad holding Baby Girl for the first time. I think it was an instant bond.
All of our guests stayed at the same hotel. We took advantage of the pool and had a great time splashing around. I think the adults may have had more fun than the kids or perhaps swimming pools makes kids out of us all.

The whole gang at the blessing. I think we are a good looking bunch.

Poor Lil'Guy was having a hard time with allergies. He was trying hard to smile. The itchy eyes got the best of him.
Silly, Silly picture!
Papa and the kids relaxing.
Two of the cutest kids ever. Yes I am the Mama and I can say that. hahaha Baby Girl had a hard time staying awake. Well its better than crying. Lil'Guy can't get enough of holding his baby sister.

Ah see here is the crying but what a beautiful dress. Here are a few close ups.

New Baby, New house, tons of support from friends and family. Thank the Lord for such amazing blessings.

Welcome Baby Girl!!!

We are pleased to announce the birth of our second child, Baby Girl! She was born about four weeks ago. She was 6 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 inches long. Healthy, Health all around! I will try to get more pictures up and keep this blog updated a little more. Until that happens I hope you will enjoy these pictures as we are enjoying her.

Summer of birthdays, fun and silliness!

We let Lil'Guy's Hair get a little to long. It was obviously time for a hair cut. Daddy comes to the rescue with his trusty buzzer. AHH that is better. Look what a handsome little man we have! Hubby's birthday Breakfast was presented to him by none other than Lil'Guy. Omelets, bacon and waffles. MMMMMM
Hubby has started more serious bicycling. So he asked for a new ridding shirt for his birthday. He looks like the pros now.
Notice the guilty faces of these two. Now notice the "back" of the birthday cake. Yeah I saw the slice missing when I was putting the candles on. I guess they couldn't wait, so it must have been good.
Hubby and Lil'Guy always have so much fun picking out the best birthday presents for me. Lil'Guy was sooo excited to give me this wonderful table. I LOVE IT!!!
Hubby sacrificed and purchased this lovely book for me, "The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner" It was only a sacrifice because its part of the Twilight saga and he is frankly put off by it. Thanks my Love, it was just what I wanted.
So here is Lil'Guy sporting his, Lightning McQueen driving costume that Nana and Papa gave him. He loves to dress up. Throw in a little Daddy time and he is set. I just get the biggest kick out of it.
We have been working on learning to cook and clean. My goal: to have Lil'Guy think that cooking and cleaning are the best things ever!! Well here he is helping me make dinner. He is totally loving it and I bet a few of you out there can even guess what it is.
Oh yeah! cracking the eggs are on the top of the joy-o-meter!!
Almost done! He is really good about standing back when I ask him to. That doesn't mean that he can't enjoy the view. (Know what it is yet?)
Now I have to admit that we are a silly little family. I know, I know you are all shocked by this revelation. Below are pictures of an activity that was inspired by, none else than our own, Lil'Guy. You know what they say, "A family that is silly together. Stays together!".
Lil'Guy and a good friend venturing out to enjoy one of our beautiful summer days.
They are truly two of a kind. Here they are blowing air into the tub to see water rush out. So Fun!
Having had a marvelous water filled day we wrap-up and pack-up.
Off to home they go. True Super Hero's of the summer!

The Fourth of July

Celebrating our Nation's Independence is always a highlight of the year for our little family. This year we were delighted to have some dear friends come and visit. Jason's dear friend, more like a brother and his crew were pure joy. Their cute one is about the same age as Lil'guy and they had a ball together. Here they are at the horse races showing off their face paint on their cheek and posing for the camera.
































Fishing has always been a favorite past time and we took this opportunity to discover some of the fishing holes that our area offers.
































































































The day came to a close with no fish being caught but a lot of laughter and grand memories were created.
