Quick Update


I feel like its been forever since I last posted. We are all doing great. Just trying to survive summer. We went as a family to St. George this last weekend, and lets just say it was eventful. We barely survived it. There was so much screaming, and yelling that both Dave and I were so ready to be home and have the kids in their regular sleeping habits and boundaries. We were all so low on sleep, and it was not a fun car ride. We were grateful to be home. Don't get me wrong, we did have our fun moments while were there, but they were few and far between. We did some swimming, and shopping, and tried to be lazy. Laziness isn't easy with 2 little kids that are refusing naps, and waking up incredibly early in the morning.

We are doing much better this week, and getting more sleep. Conner started Itty Bitty soccer on Monday, and he is loving it. He is doing much better with participating, and playing with other kids. I will post pictures of him playing when it ends next week. He is growing up so fast and will be starting pre-school this fall. I can't believe he is already starting pre-school.

Vika is still NOT walking yet. She has days when I think she will start walking, and then the next day she crawls all day. She is very hard to read. She is talking more and more everyday. Her favorite thing to say is "Hi Baby" and she says it very clear. I am just glad she is taking her time growing up because I want her to be my baby for a long time!!! She gets louder everyday it seems like, which is quite a talent if you ask me.

We are just having fun, and enjoying life!!

Sprinkler Time


Conner loves the sprinkler, finally!! He used to be terrified of the sprinkler, and now he loves it!! He will put his whole face into it so that he gets soaked, and then he laughs!

Vika hates getting wet with the freezing cold water. Her favorite part was wrapping up in the warm towel! I was such a mean mom and made her get wet!!

He was supposed to be looking at the camera and saying cheese, but he got distracted and wouldn't look at me!!

Walking...Almost


Vika got this cute walker for her birthday and she is just now starting to love it! She walks around almost all day long! She is slowly getting closer to wanting to walk.

In this pic she is really excited, but she looks mad!!

She walks with her walker wherever she wants to go. She really wanted to look at her books!

4th of July


We had a great 4th. My Dad made the most amazing omelets!! We got to choose anything we wanted in it, and he made everyone their own!!! Thanks Dad I loved it!

We very quickly left my parent's house because both kids were having complete melt downs. Talk about fun times! We went to Dave's Mom's house for a BBQ and some family time!!

Vika took a very good nap, and Conner got cooled down.

This is Conner waiting patiently for the BBQ steaks!! He ate his steak and corn on the cob well, and was very happy!

Vika wasn't so happy. All she wanted to do was draw with chalk which she started calling "purple"!! It was so hot that it made her cranky.
We were very boring, and took the kids home early so that they could get sleep and not be too tired at church. We haven't done fireworks yet, but I think we will do them on the 24th!

Cherry Hill


Last week my Mother-in-law invited Conner and I to go to Cherry Hill with her, my 2 sisters-in-law, her sister, and Dave's 2 cousins. We had so much fun that I only got this one picture of Conner right when we got there.

Conner decided that he was so hungry when we first got there. He was eating gold fish, and cheetos like there was no tomorrow. It was so funny.
He wanted to go down the "Pirate Ship" slide all day long. I can't even count how many times he went down that slide. It took about 3 times with me going with him to finally convince him to go down it by himself. He loved the lazy river especially when we went with Issa and Jojo. We had to cut the day short due to a rain storm. We will have to go back another day, hopefully soon!!!
