Cousin Costley Due January 2009!

Yeah! Blakeley has a Costley cousin on the way. My brother Colby and his wife Mindy announced Sunday that they are pregnant! Mindy's due date is Jan 24th! We can't wait. We are so excited for them and so happy to have another baby joining our family! We will keep you all up to date on cute baby Costley!!

Grampy's Boat!

Blake has spent a few days on Grampy's Boat this summer and despite this picture I think she has had a fun time :)

Is this life jacket punishment mom?


My little surfer chick!


Blakey, Grannie, and Kale

She fell fast asleep. She figured if I have to be in this darn jacket I guess I will just go to sleep!

We have had some fun day's with rob's family out on his Dad's boat. We found Blake a jacket that fits her better so she isn't so uncomfortable now! It is so much fun to spend the day out on the water wakeboarding and waverunning!

Arizona

We spent a short weekend in Arizona with my fun cousins. We traveled there to attend my cute cousin Ashley's (not pictured :() farewell, we had a lot of fun. Another first for Blake too, a plane ride! She was wonderful and it was nice because i was very, very worried! She had a blast though she thought is was so fun to ride on mom and dad's lap! I should have taken more pics of the people we were visiting huh.

Smiling and knocking on wood that Blake will behave!

She can be such a ham!

We got to fly with cousin Redd!

She loves to be upside down

Running away from mommy chasing her!

Camp "Breastfeed"

We had our family reunion at the first of July! It's really called Camp Beaver but over the years we have teased and called it Camp "Breastfeed" because it seems like someone is always nursing a baby there and not always in private or even bothering to use any kind of cover! Anyway this year I was one of those people, but thanks to my "hooter hider" I don't think I offended anyone as others may have in years past :). Anyway Blake got her first Thompson T-Shirt! She is the 180th person to enter our family, and it's so cute cuz the number barely fits on the back of her shirt. Im number 65 and rob is 135! Here are some of my favorite pics of her modeling her tee!

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!

And the Owie...
The next day after she learned her new trick she
fell and bruised and cut her eye! It was so so sad! Poor Blakey.

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!
