Learning to Scoot

Adam has started getting up on his knees and rocking and also scooting/army-crawling across the floor! It's so fun to tease him with a toy and watch him struggle to get to it! I guess it's time to start looking for gates and baby-proofing the house. Yikes. My life will never be the same!

Happy 4th of July!

To celebrate the 4th we went over to my Grandparents' for dinner and fireworks. It was kind of a blustery day but we had fun talking and hanging out with my extended family.

Playing with Grandpa Great

This is a video of Adam enjoying the fireworks. I thought for sure he'd be afraid of the noise but he loved it!

This is a video of another firework and an unexpected gust of wind that knocked the firework over which blew sparks onto all of us. It was quite thrilling!!

YELLOWSTONE

Last week we went to Yellowstone for a family vacation with some of my extended family. It was a blast and Adam was adored by all and was a real trooper! Sorry there are so many pictures....it was hard enough to pick just these to share!

Old Faithful

Adam loved hiking around with Daddy in his backback. And also chewing on the edge!

Cool dude with his shades and hat

Eating huckleberry ice cream. Yummy!!

Adam's 6 Month Pictures

We got Adam's 6 month pictures taken a few days ago. Unfortunately, I thought I had planned the perfect time of day when he would be awake and happy but he woke up late and therefore threw all his naps off and wasn't all that happy. Oh well!

In looking at these pictures, I now realize that this child looks nothing like me!

Swimming Lessons!

I took Adam to swimming lessons and my Mom came up to take pictures for me of our last class. Unfortunately, after 8 days of lessons, Adam wasn't as excited to be back in the pool again. The first week he splashed and laughed the entire time and then I think he got a little tired of it. Oh well! We had fun!

High School Tag

Heather thanks for the tag!

1. Did you date someone from your school? Much to my chagrin....no!!!

2. What kind of car did you drive? Let's see....a 1989 Honda Accord which I totalled (hey...it was pooring rain like crazy that day and the stupid girl in front of me slammed on her brakes without warning!), 1987 Chevy Beretta, aka "The Tank" (it died), and finally a 1996 Nissan Sentra which I got my senior year....a much more respectable car!

3. It's Friday night...where are you? With friends

4. Were you a party animal? Yeah right.

5. Were you considered a flirt? Hmmm....I tried anyway.

6. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Yay for Chamber Choir my junior year and Madrigals and A Capella my senior year!! Best thing about high school were the friends I had in choir! (and Heather of course!)

8. Were you on any varsity teams? No way.

9. Did you get suspended/expelled? I was a goody-goody who hung out with members of the Seminary Council!

10. Can you sing the fight song? Most of it I think.

11. Who were your favorite teachers? Number one for sure....Mr. Waldron, my choir director. That man is awesome! I wasn't too much into the actual academics of school, so I barely remember any of my teacher's names. Although I did love Brother Butler as my seminary teacher. By the way.....Really? Brother Call Heather? Don't you remember passing notes the entire class because he was BORING???

12. Where did you sit during lunch? The area of the cafeteria varied, but always with my friends and almost always in the cafeteria. (stole answer from Heather)

13.What was your school's full name? Jordan High School.

14. School mascot? BEETDIGGERS!!!!

15. Did you go to Homecoming and who with? I wasn't old enough my sophmore year, and I didn't start making my good friends until well into my junior year, so I didn't get asked :( and my senior year I went with Gavin Swenson! So cute and nice! :)

16. If you could go back and do it again, would you? No way!! If you take away all the boy drama, I'd love to go back to choir though!

17.What do you remember most about graduation? Singing in our Madrigal choir and at the end of the song, Mr. Waldron signed and mouthed "I love you". Sniff sniff! Oh and then there was the rockin' party hosted by yours truly! Crazy things happened that night! :)

18. Where did you go senior skip day? No skipping here!

19. Were you in any clubs? Just choir and I don't know if that counts.

20. Have you gained some weight since then? Um yeah! And to think I thought I was fat in high school!

21. Who was your prom date? I really don't want to admit this but....junior year" Tim _____ what's his last name? He's gay.....I think. And senior year....did I go? I can't remember! Oh, I think I was deathly ill with Mono during Prom.

22. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion? Don't know. I'm not so sure I want to see certain people....ahem....David Wright! I was a stupid, silly, immature girl back then and don't really know if I want to relive it!

I tag everyone! It's fun to hear about other people's high school experiences!

Snuggling with Daddy

This boy sure does love his Daddy.


And I just saw this picture and it breaks my heart to see how fast he's growing! :(

Happy Birthday Nat!

Nat turned 28 yesterday. Wow....he's old!! :) Adam loved helping his Daddy unwrap his presents (well, he loved eating the paper anyway!) and was fascinated by the candles.

To top off the evening's festivities, we had a meeting with the Bishop and received new callings. Ahhhhh...what a party!

3rd Anniversary

Nat and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary on May 14th. We were married 3 years ago in the Salt Lake Temple and it has been the best 3 years fille with many fun and exciting things! The best thing of all is our beautful baby boy. I can only hope that the years that follow are as wonderful as the first 3!

Roommate Fun

My old roommate Heather was visiting from Oregon so we got 4 out of the 5 roommates together (we missed you Shar!) for some catching-up. Poor Adam was bullied by older and bigger Dallin and Lexie. He especially didn't like Lexie's high-pitched "talking"! My boy is a total whimp!

Katie & Lexie, Lisa, Heather & Dallin, Ambra & Adam (he is naked because he decided to poop out the back of his diaper and I was stupid and didn't bring a change of clothes!)


Dallin, Adam & Lexie sizing eachother up. Ok, Dallin and Lexie are sizing eachother up...Adam is sucking his thumb and blanket wishing he was not there!

We've got some cute kids!
