We had such a happy and fun 4th of July! Blakeley was on a float with all her cousins in the Plain City and Warren parades. It was so fun. Jena had bought her and Lily matching patriotic outfits. They looked so cute together and it was so fun to have them together on the float!

Blakeley got so wore out from all her parading! She fell fast asleep with her unky Chaser!



That night we went to Nat and Joe's for dinner and some firework fun! Blakeley loved them she didn't get scared once she just watched them with WIDE eyes!!


Snugglin with Addy and Blakers!



Blakeley got so tuckered out she fell asleep watching the fireworks! What a crazy day!

A New Trick=A New Owie!!

Blakeley suddenly started pulling herself up on any random thing! She pulls herself up and lets go and looks at us like-what am I doing? It's so cute and so hillarious that she did this before she started crawling. A week later though she decided to crawl so now she is busy busy!

Cousins!

We went to Harper's blessing last weekend and Blakeley was so cute we just had to snap some photos!! She is finally getting some hair!!

South Ogden's Best Smile!

Call me a Proud Mama! We entered Blakeley in South Ogden's Baby Photo contest and she won First Place for Best Smile! She got to be in the South Ogden Parade with the other babies. It was a lot of fun we decorated her wagon all Patriotic and Rob and I's families came to cheer us on! It was so dang hot, you can see how red Blakes cheeks were by the time we were done! Anyway I was so proud of my little girl she was so cute to wave at all the people we passed! What a fun memory!

Cedar City!

Great News!! Rob just might get the 4 Sport Award! Blake and I accompanied Rob to his 3rd, yes 3rd softball tourney this year! Rob's sure hoping that they will make Slow Pitch Softball an actual sport so he can hit the majors! We had some fun though. We tried a new idea, driving while Blake sleeps, so we left at night and drove straight there. It was actually really nice to not have to have her screaming at us! we had a fun time we got to go swiming and Blake got to stay in a hotel for the very first time!! Here are some fun pictures of our weekend!

Blakeley's First Time Swimming! What a cute little Chunk!

We had such a fun weekend in Bear Lake, our first famly trip with Chase home. It was so fun. We went over fathers day and stayed at Sweetwater. We got in the pool, rode 4wheelers, played tennis, ate a lot of good food, and had some good old fashioned family bonding time. It was a lot of fun.

Computers: A Love-Hate Relationship!

Well I am aware that I'm not the most avid blogger but it helps if you have a working computer :)! Why do I allow computers to run my life, then when it doesn't work everything comes to a screeching halt! Our laptop has been acting up for quite sometime now and instead of doing the right thing and taking it in we just keep fudging it here and there so it would work. So Rob finally took it in on Thursday because it wouldn't turn on AT ALL. Suprise it needs fixin so we are out of a computer for the next couple weeks. So here I am posting while at work :) No really though Im sad cuz I had some cute photos from our recent weekend excursions to share with ya'll but I guess it will have to wait. The worst is that I use Quicken and Internet Banking so i currently have no idea what bills need to be paid etc. It's all in good fun I guess im sure I will hear from someone if they don't get paid :). So I will still be reading all of your blogs it will just be a minute before there is anything worth reading on the Brian's end of things (that is if you are still even reading this boring post!) Love ya!!

FINALLY!!! Blake and Chase Meet for the First Time!!

Helping Mommy make a welcome home sign.



Watiting with Grampy to meet Chaser....

FINALLY!!

Blake and Chase have become the BEST of buddies, she loves him they have been playing together, and just having a blast getting to know each other!

Chase is Finally home, we are so excited to have him back! I don't have many pictures from the airport, Rob was filming and Mindy took pics. I was too excited and too emotional. It was the best day. It was so cute when he saw my mom and then when he met Blake she went right to him and she just smiled at him. She loved his badge. Since then they are the new best buddies she loves to play with her Uncle Chase and it is just so so sweet to watch and finally have him home! My family feels complete again!

Blake and Stone's Playdate

What a cutie, I love his hair so much!!
Blake was so excited about to have a fun day with Stone.
Fun Little Friends!

Blakeley got to have a playdate with Stone, it was so much fun to watch. They just starred at each other a lot and it was so funny when Blake woke up I took stone in with me to get her out of bed and she was cheesin it she was so happy. They were so cute, I think Blake was a little jealous of his thick beautiful hair she kept trying to pull every chance she got!!

My Dad's Great!!

Rob set up Blakes wagon for her and we have been going on some wonderful walks (when the weather lets us.) She LOVES to be outside and in the wagon, she doesn't make a peep she just takes it all in. It has been so fun to get outside together.
