Okay, I have been slacking on this! Somehow life just got crazy and this just didn't happen. So I wanted to just do a quick catch up on what our family has been doing.
Aliyah is almost 2 1/2 years old! Time sure does fly. She can now count to 11 and loves learning the ABC's. She is too smart for her own good and always keeps me in check. We love her to death.
 |
| A few days ago, we had to go to the doctor because Aliyah had a head cold, that turned into a lung
infection. We did a little breathing test to see if an albuterol inhaler would help. After we were done, we got to bring one home with us to do for a few days. She had done awesome with it and she "loves her "mask". But we are grateful that she is healthy again! |

| Aliyah loves to learn and make messes! So one of our favorite things to do is play with baking soda and vinegar! | | | |
|
Kailey is getting so big! Next month, she will be a year old! Crazy! She has four teeth and two more are coming in. She loves to eat and play and read books and is so close to walking.
 |
| Ice cream cones and walks are the best! |

| We are in trouble now! Aliyah has learned how to climb into Kailey's crib. Today after nap time, I ran upstairs because Kailey was screaming, I cam into the room and Aliyah was scrambling to get out of the crib. (and she actually headed straight to time-out. She knows whats up.) Anyway, this picture shows the diaper that Aliyah took off of Kailey while she held her down. Thank goodness it wasn't poopy! |
Jake is still busy at school and getting ready to focus more of his time on his thesis work. We just got a barbecue and he loves to grill! He is currently at 12 miles in his preparation for the Air Force marathon in September! Jake jumped out of an airplane...while it was up in the sky.
 |
| This was fun to watch and we sure were glad when we saw daddy land on the ground! He absolutely loved it! (He is the orange parachute.) |
A little update on me. I am just loving my job as a mommy and am so grateful that we were blessed with the most adorable little girls ever! (it sure helps when they are crazy!) I love the sewing machine that Jake got me for Christmas and have been having fun making things for our house.
 |
| Here are curtains I made for the girl's bedroom. I need to redo the left panel. I made it while the girls were awake... |
We have done so many fun things and have been so blessed with great neighbors! We have been able to have a lot of cook-outs and just relax and play. Here are a few more pictures of what we have been up to.
 |
| We get to have missionaries in our home all the time and we LOVE it! |
 |
| This was from a fun family night that we had. We talked about the Prophet Nephi and how Heavenly Father helped him build a ship to bring his family to safety. So we made some fun boats and then put them in the little kiddie pool! | |
|
|
 |
| We love taking walks as a family! |

We can't wait to see what other fun things this summer has in store for us!
