Wardwell's in Town

Kiley got married a few weeks ago and we were fortunate to have Rhonda, Troy, Kristin and Bryn come out to be here for it. Rhonda was the awesome photographer and was only able to stay for a day but Troy and his fam were here for a whole week. We did lots of fun things. Kayhlen absolutely LOVED having her little cousing Bryn here with her. She loved having a play mate and I think she really enjoyed being the older of the 2 and kinda bossing her around. It's been a couple of weeks since they left and she still asks me where Bryn is. Dax needs to grow up so she has a playmate.

Love these Little Ones

Despite all the headaches and stress and despite the fact that I often think i'll lose my mind...i'm feeling so grateful for these 2 little children. I'm especially grateful to Mike and my parents for making it possible for me to spend my time with them being a mom.

4 Months and a Total "Sucker"

Our boy is 4 months old.  He is tall and skinny (90% for height and 25% for weight).  Daxten has such a cute personality and is already showing a bit of stubborness like his sister :) He wants to be held at all times and lets you know if he thinks you shouldn't be sitting but rather up and moving around with him.  He has such a cute giggle and as long as he isn't hungry he will give you plenty of those giggles and smiles.  He is such a cutie and we all adore him.  He has also become quite the thumb sucker which is so adorable right now but I know it is going to cause me an ENORMOUS headache in the future. 

Dax Blessing

It took a while because my parents were out of town so much this summer but we did finally get Dax blessed.  Mike did a great job he's an awesome dad and i'm so grateful he brings the priesthood to our home.

Nieces and Nephews Visit

My parents got all the older grandkids together here in Utah for a week of fun. Since we live right here we were also able to enjoy in the fun times. We went 4 wheeling, camping, and ate lots of food.  I rarely get to see my nieces and nephews and I really loved this week that I was able to hang out with them and get to know them better.  Thanks to gma and gpa for making it happen.

4th of July

I've been way behind on my posts because so much is going on right now.  We found renters for our house, we've had a ton of family in town, i am down to my last week of work so i'm busy training my replacement, we moved out of our house and into my parents basement and my sister is getting married this week. Life has been nuts. We had a nice calm 4th of July this year. Gma Lee came over and we bbq'd and did some fireworks and just hung out. it was a nice night.

Swimming

Kayhlen absolutely adores the water and we have very much enjoyed our time in the pool this summer.

Manti Pageant

We went to the Manti Pageant for the second year in a row and for the second year in a row i didn't see much of it thanks to my beautiful daughter. we had a good time hanging out and eating beforehand but then it started and kayhlen was really cute and snuggly for the first 20 minutes or so but then she was on the rampage...squirming every 2 minutes, yelling and screaming...needless to say we left early...again...but it's still fun to hang out and to see that temple.
