This Little Girl

This little girl makes me laugh so hard my stomach hurts....

Makes me smile...

Stills my breath away...
Stole my heart...
Has me wrapped around her finger.
Is my gift from God...

is showing me what life is all about.
This little girl makes me want to never give up, to be a better person, to live a better life. This little girl is my world.

The Cove Picnic

This park is right by our new house in Herriman! We love it! It is so beautiful. We went last Saturday and had a picnic by the pond. We were soon surrounded by ducks! Abi had a blast!

This big guy thought he was the leader of all of the ducks. :) It was so funny. He did not want us around. Check out the video.

Never to young (or old) for the playground!

I'm looking forward to next year when Abi can walk around and feed the ducks all by herself! We had a blast!

Abi's 6th Month B-day party

I can't believe our baby girl is half a year old! She is so beautiful but looks nothing like us.

We decided to have a little party just for her. (Just Matt and I).

She got a bunch of cute things from Matt's mom. A blanket, some clothes and some toys.

And we got her a fun toy too. She did surprisingly well unwrapping.
I made her a cake.

We gave her just a small piece but she managed to get it everywhere!

So we rinsed her off bumbo and all!

We love her so much but she's growing so fast! Here are some of the thing she loves and does...

She is still in 3 month clothes and 0-3 month pants.

She's tall and skinny and white as a ghost.

She still has blue eyes and her hair is getting lighter.

She loves to smile and just started laughing more....

She loves water bottles and cups.

Still won't take a bottle or pacifier.

She loves her puppy!


She's starting to sit up and roll onto her stomach.

She loves grabbing everything! Including tanks ears and tail and under my arms which doesn't feel so hot.

She started getting up once a night again.

She likes peaches and applesauce. Not a fan of peas.

She will still only nap in my arms or if I am by her on the bed.

Doesn't like being put down or left alone.

She's a daddy's girl.

Hates it when I shower. She cries the whole time.

She loves being outside, feeding the horse apples and going for walks.

We love our little angel and can't wait for her to learn new things!!!

My Family Reunion

To make the trip to Panquitch a little easier on Abi we stopped by Levan for the night to visit my mom and dad. My dad is so cute with Abi.

We got to the cabin a day before everyone else. This is Abi relaxing with GGrandpa Leu. Looks comfy.

I absolutely LOVE this picture. I think she liked the swing. Sometimes it's hard to tell.

Kendle asleep in the big chair. He looks so cute! He is such a well mannered little boy.

Relaxing in the hammock.
Little buddies.

I love this picture. Her shirts says it all.

Abi is still trying to get back on schedule after all of the excitement.

Matt's Family Reunion - Abi's Adventures

A Couple weeks ago we went to Idaho for Matt's family reunion. It was Abi's first big tip. She did really well. Here she is getting sleepy.

We went part way on Thursday and stayed in a hotel. Abi looked like she was in jail in the little crib they provided.

The next day we went to Sun Valley to take a break.

They had outdoor ice skating in the summer, and a concert. It was a really cool place to stop.

When we got to the reunion we found the swimming pool for Abi. I looked and looked for swimming diapers small enough for Abi. The ones she has on are way to big and we had to roll them up:) She LOVED the pool!

The next day we went on a hike to the lake. For some reason Abi always falls asleep in the carrier. Isn't this the cutest picture ever? It was the most beautiful lake I had ever seen.

Matt's cousin Mike brought these boards that look like surf boards. They were really fun! You paddle like you would a canoe but stand like you wold on a surfboard. It was so cool.

Later the kids made bottle rockets and launched them. We all watched the show. Here is Lizzi, Dillon, and Josh watching the competition.

And Brian and Teneil..

Sunday we had to drive all the way back and Abi didn't like it as much but she still did really well.
