Family Pictures

We haven't had a family picture (not counting weddings) for about 6 or 7 years..

With 22 people, 12 being grand children and 3 under the age of 3 and
a baby who was still getting over being sick

they didn't turn out so bad! 

9 months

MJ is 9 months!

This girl is just the sweetest thing and can make any rough day amazing by just her little smile.
She is 17 pounds (moved on up to the 30th percentil) and 28 inches long.

She is crawling every where, pulling herself up and beginning to 'couch surf' a bit. Before I know it she will be running all over the place!

 Fun Facts: She says 'Da-da' but not knowing the meaning, she is done with the pureeing and eating whatever we eat! She has a top tooth starting to break in. She is an amazing eater and will eat anything but wont drink prune juice little stinker. So I have to sneak it in when I make her green drinks.

Loves: being around people; I haven't seen any stranger danger with her so she might be like her mama and be a little social butterfly and talk to anyone. Loves bath time, being a big girl and eating using her hands, her wubbanubs are her bff's, and loves being outside exploring and going on walks.

Hates: Getting dressed still... you'd think after 9 months she'd be used to it and give in haha. Prune juice, being told no; she almost always cries when being told no to.

Next month she'll be 10 months and that much closer to being ONE...Time needs to slow down! She is such a sweet girl and we are so grateful and blessed to be her parents.

Summer fun

Anyone else ready for the Fall season? I'm so over this heat even with the fun we've had. Here is what we've been up to! -Photo overload!-

Draper Rodeo with friends

 MJ wasn't interested at all and wouldn't hold still but was 

content sitting on her own playing with my necklaces

She was however VERY interested in

eating Emily's snow cone! haha

 First time camping! She was such a trooper and we had a blast. So grateful we were over our week and a half sickness just in time to go. Nothing is worse than being sick
and having a sick baby!

 Blueberry mess! Got a bucket bath afterwards

 Nothing like roasting smores and starbursts while camping

Glow sticks cut up inside mason jars, the kids loved them!

 Setting up a trap to catch a squirrel 

 THIS close and he got away!

 Celebrating Zooey's 2nd birthday early before the Curtis family flew home the next morning

 Zuzu's monster face

Adorable and mischievous look all in one picture   

 Poor girl had to be woken up to go home

 My beauty school friend was in town so we got our girls
together who are only a couple of weeks apart

 Visiting my favorite neighbors I grew up with, they love seeing MJ

Little miss has two teeth! and they sure are sharp little things
