Beginning to laugh

Vacation continued.....

Another cooking picture but I've been noticing that Kaylee isn't a toddler anymore, she's a little girl. Lanaya loves to sit at the computer with Adam. It makes me laugh because it looks like she is reading everything he is. We got a picture just like this of Kaylee. So sweet.

Well I hope that Carrie got a better picture than I did but these two are 2nd cousins or something. It was funny because Carrie and I wore the same shirt and then we dressed our babies in the same pj's. Wow! We must be related. These next few pictures are of my Mom's reunion. Not many people made it but it sure was fun to be with Carrie and Jake.

I can't believe how much food my teenage brothers eat.

Little Axel taking a bath in Mom's kitchen sink. What a cutie? He has got the most hillarious laugh/chuckle.

Lydia driving the beasty suburban. I can't believe she's almost 16.

Lou did Kaylee's hair like Michelle on Full House. It was really quite cute.

We stopped to play at this Park in Spanish Fork to break-up the long drive. They were too scared to get in but at least we tried.

Again driving the Gater. Spencer even started to drive.

Aunt Christina letting Kaylee drive the lawn mower. She couldn't stop talking about how fun that was.

Awesome picture that Adam took of a dragonfly.

The dragonfly on Kaylee's finger...notice her wrapped hand still sprained from the week before.

Spencer holding the dragonfly.

Vacation...or at least no work!

We had a family reunion at a ranch in Emery County. I know what you are thinking...Emery? Where? Well let me tell you that is was a wonderful spot just off the highway that I'm sure many people just drive by and don't even notice. Adam and I had our own Cabin room which was nice to have a place to nap the kids away from the noise. The rooms were awesome and cabin like and not to mention with 3 deer heads watching us sleep. (At least we didn't have the drooling Buffalo Room) We all had so much fun. Kaylee and Spencer watching this scared little bunny under the rocks. There were a lot of little creatures that came through camp. The first hour we were there a HUGE snake was on our cabin porch. Can you tell I hate snakes. It was about 4 feet long but to me 1 foot is too much. I was careful when walking outside the whole time and even had Adam walk me to our room one night just because I was scared. I'm a wus I know.

Spencer loves to pretend to ride 'bullseye' from Toy Story so he loved this saddle.

Family picture in our matching shirts that Lanaya conviently pooped on during group pictures.

Daddy and the baby.

Kaylee hurt her wrist really bad. We questioned whether or not to go and get an x-ray because she was so sensitive. We decided to give it a few days and I think she just sprained it thank goodness. It was really hard watching her NOT have fun.

Riding Granpa's "horse" behind the 4-wheeler

We just had our 5 year anniversary and Adam just got initiated into the family with "Unga-Bunga" from grandpa. He sure was a good sport.

We rewarded the kids with a camping trip in the backyard. This is them trying to wake daddy up.

Kaylee Pictures

Glasses Party and July Fun

Lanaya is 2 months and weighs 11lbs. 5 oz. I was having fun trying new things with our camera.

Isn't she adorable? Those cheeks sag down and touch her chest. HaHa!

This year at International Days they were giving free hot air balloon rides. We waited in line for an hour and were only about 5 groups until our turn when they ended for the day. So...we got a picture instead of a ride. It was still cool to see up close. Kaylee lovin on her little sister.

Another morning project while mom was still asleep. They unstuffed the rocking chair.

We had a fun "glasses party" for Kaylee. The theme was bunnies and carrots.....do you get it? Because carrots help your eyes. I know it's kind of a stretch but it was still cute.

We went to the park today

I couldn't help but take these pictures of the kids at the park. They were being so photogenic, especially Kaylee.

He is such a stud!

She is so fun and likes to pose.

Grandma Pitcher gave the kids a trampoling that they absolutely love.

Lydia came to visit and what a blessing. The kids just love to play with her and dress her up. She is a good sport.

Adam had a work party with a huge water slide. Kaylee and Spencer were both too scared but we forced them and they loved it anyway. Lydia and I GOT to slide down on beer. No Joke, the guy in front of us went down on his feet with his beer in hand and spilt everywhere. Lydia said it would be the highlight of her summer.

Cute Spencer playing with Lanaya.

We are sorry for taking so long to post another update. For some reason it seems like we have to wait until there is plenty to talk about or lots of pictures to post before we can update - when we also know that it doesnt have to be that way.

Lanaya has just started to smile this past week. She has been our best baby yet. Or else we are just getting good at being parents. We will give Lanaya the credit. Kaylee and Spencer are keeping themselves entertained at the dance studio where we were having extended family pictures taken.

Kaylee (3yrs old) needs glasses. Her left eye is extremely farsighted (+5) and she would over compensate when using it so the eye would look lazy. She did well for the exam and she loves her glasses. She does look older all the sudden though.

Spencer has his hand over his heart at the Lewiston 4th of July parade. He was so cute. He would wave and gets lots of candy.

Cute!
