Lava: Costley Family Reunion

This year for our Costley Family Reunion we went to Lava Hot Springs! We camped, swam, ate delightful food, and laughed a lot! Blakeley was either having a great time or throwing a tantrum! It was a hard trip for us! Here is a picture of her attitude :)

The rest of the pictures are of her good moments! She loved looking through papa's binoculars!Papa gave Blakeley a very special flashlight that went around her neck! He told her if she got scared at night she could use it to find Papa's trailer. It was really cute and Blake loves the flashlight. Thanks Papa!Blake also loved watching movies in Papa's trailer!

Here is most of our group at swimming at Lava! Fun times!

Blakeley loved the apples and dip, well mostly the dip!

Blakeley and Josslyn in their matching suits!

Grannie gave them these for Easter.

Blake was so exhausted she couldn't stay awake to shower...

Then sweet Joss was sleeping back by the shower and we didn't want to wake her so we bathed Blake in the sink! It was a little tight :)

Looking back now we had a great time and made some great memories! I was just so over Blakeley's tantrums when we got home that I was saying this was the worst trip ever!! She is getting close to 2, who knows what lies ahead!

Way Behind...

We have been having way too much fun these last few weeks! Here is a TON of pics to show you what we have been up to...

I'm on a BOAT!

Jen and Andy invited us to go boating with them! We had a blast and learned Blakeley is a fish! She had no fear I even caught her trying to jump overboard at one point! She was way brave and rode on the tube with Rob! She cracks me up.Saying she is #1

Addy, Charlee, and Blakeley

3 Beautiful Girls!

Look how excited she is, I was so proud!

Driving

A couple videos...

Thanks Jen and Andy-We had a blast!

Fathers Day!

Blakeley gave Rob a bike trailer for Father's Day. Yes I know what you are thinking, nice father's day gift Karah, that should be a gift for Blake. But he asked for one seriously! I was very happy to give him one because it will keep them both very busy! Blakeley was SO SO SO excited to give it to Rob! We set it up and had Rob come upstairs, the pictures say it all...

Waiting

The card she gave him had a Care Bear on it that talked, she loved it just as much as he did!

So sweet!

Blakeley loves her daddy and I do too!

Splash Park

We took Blakeley to the Splash Park in South Ogden! It is like the coolest place for kids ever and it is free, what could be better than that??

Happy Bday Papa

Papa has a bday! Blakeley was loving helping him open presents and playing in the boxes...

I love this picture of my Mom and Blake! She is always so sweet to Blake and does whatever Blakeley wants to do! Here she is reading to her and her baby too!

This was going to be an adorable pic of all our sweet kiddies on the bench...

Grady, Stone, Redd, Blake, Lily

They didn't feel like cooperating!

Oh well still cute.

Accident Prone...

I swear sometimes I feel like Blakeley is so accident prone. Last week she was standing at the door watching my dad set up his tools in the driveway. She bent down to pick up her straw and tumbled forward out the back step onto the concrete stairs! I was in the basement hall way and i just saw her 2 little feet in the air and went running upstairs. Poor girl had face planted it right into the stairs...

The rocky one is where her forehead hit!

These pics don't really do it justice the knot on her forehead stuck out like 1/2 inch!




A hug from Papa and a sucker makes it all better!

My poor child!



This is the next day. All these extra scraps appeared on top of her nose and under her eye.



We went to the grocery store that day and I felt like everyone was judging me! They would look at her face and then at me like what the hell! It just made me feel worse. I am however so surprised at how fast she has healed. A week later she just has the scab on the side of her nose left. I remembered that last year at this time was when she feel and cut her eye look how little she was then...


Oh stop growing!!!!!
Any who my babe is accident prone and to be honest there are times I'm surprised she doesn't get hurt more often. For example when I find her jumping from the end table onto the couch then down to her chair and over on top of a laundry basket she has turned upside down! Yes she builds these obstacle courses all herself!

Cousin Swim Party!

Tesh invited the cousins over for a swim party last Friday! We took advantage of the sun finally poking through the clouds! Blakeley was in heaven you would have thought she was a Disneyland or something. It was a lot of fun.


I LOVE this picture!

Here is a little video of some of the kids enjoying the water!
