Summer Song

What is your song for the summer of 2009? The song that when you hear it years from now it will remind you of this summer; of cruising in the car with your kids on the way to swim lessons, of laying on a hammock reading, of the places you went and the people you were with this summer. My summer song for 2009 is My Time With You by David Choi and Kina Grannis. You can download it for free here.

Please tell me what your summer song is. I would like to make a summer playlist with the summer songs of my family and friends.

Peonies

are my favorite flowers. What are yours?

Obsessed

I cant' stop taking her picture. Plus, I got a fancy new camera for my birthday which makes it even more fun.

2 months

Disclaimer: Kalia does have onesies that fit. I am taking her pic each month in a 12 month onesie to show how much she grows her first year. Kalia's grandma saw her one month pics and thought she didn't have any onesies that fit. We now have more than enough thanks to grammy.

She's two months old today.
She's a happy baby.
She ALWAYS has a stuffy nose. (Going to ask the Dr. about it)
She likes to be held to fall asleep.
She loves to be all bundled up tight.
She smells delicious. (Well, most of the time)
She awakes up once in the night to eat and usually ends up sleeping the rest of the night in my arms.
She slept all through the night once.
She WON'T take a Binky.
She has started smiling and talking to us.
Her cheeks are getting chubby.
She's perfect.
We can't imagine life without her.

She's a dancing girl!

Tuesday, Ella had her first dance recital. She started taking dance in January and she LOVES it. She did a great job and looked gorgeous (even though her mean mother wouldn't let her wear makeup at the performance like some of the other girls).
Here she is on stage.

Ella's cousins Jaidyn and Irelynn go to the same dance studio. It was so fun to watch them dance too.
It was a special treat to have Grandma Reid there.

My Fab four

Not the best picture, but here they are my fab four. I bought the vests for the boys and as I was looking through the girls clothes I found these two dresses that match. They all looked so cute.

Memorial Day Weekend

Here is Kalia meeting her Grandpa O. for the first time.


This is my adorable nephew Brock. I think he is one of the cutest babies ever and I had to capture the darling way he is crossing his ankles in this pic.


We had so much fun in St.George this weekend. My parents rented a big beautiful house and we all went down there for the weekend. All of my brothers and sisters and families were there for at least part of the time except Jason who is on his mission in Mexico. There were 24 of us in all. We had so much fun swimming, eating, shopping at the Outlet stores, visiting and playing games. Grandma had crafts for the kids to do. The older kids even had their own room to sleep in away from their parents. They loved it, but I'm not sure how much sleeping they did! We had such a fun time it was really hard to leave.




The pool was awesome. It had this great slide that the kids and adults all enjoyed.
