Football!

Yesterday was another BYU game day and the kids have been so excited for it! Adam and Daddy were able to get tickets to go to the game. They had a blast being in the stadium. The girls stayed home and we had a Cougar party of our own. We made some blue treats, had fun visiting with Aunt Dee and Aunt Katy, and cheered our Cougars on to victory!

 Tessa loves to cook! She helped me makes some blue rice krispie treats.

 Gwennie sporting her new shirt! She was a good little cheerleader.

 The boys had great seats! Besides the heat, they said it was a perfect game!

 Adam got a Cougar Tail...he was a happy boy!

 Of course he found a place to shoot some hoops during half time. 

Adam cheers so loud! It is so fun watching sports with him. He loves his Cougars!

8 Months Old

Our sweet Baby Girl turned 8 months old on Monday the 3rd. She is growing and changing so much. She has been crawling for a couple of weeks now and this week, she started pulling herself up onto some furniture. She loves to stand at the ottoman and play with whatever she can get her hands on. She loves everything she isn't supposed to have or get into...my cookbooks, the scriptures, paper, remotes, phones, and any toys that Brother and Sister are playing with. If something gets taken away from her, she is very sure to let you know how unhappy she is about that! She still has no teeth and night time is still pretty rough for both Gwen and Mommy, but we are trying to work on that for Mommy's sanity's sake. 

She is still trying to figure out how to eat a regular banana (she gags on every spoonful) and is not a huge fan of carrots or peaches. She loves everything else though and is still a champion at nursing. 

We love her smiles and giggles and love that she is discovering her independence. She is starting to thin out a  bit and that makes us a little sad cause we sure loved her chunkiness. Chunky or not, she is super cute and full of personality. We love her to pieces!

Labor Day 2012

We had a fun Labor Day! We spent a few hours at Utah Lake, enjoying Pa's canoe and swimming. Adam and Tessa have been so excited to go canoeing this summer. They could hardly wait for their turn!

 Tessa practiced her rowing on shore.

 Aunt Katy and Uncle Ben took Adam and Tessa out on their first run. The kids wanted to help paddle, but I have a feeling they were less then helpful in that area.

 Gwen loved getting her feet wet in the water and playing with the lid from the fruit bowl. 

 Adam got to go out on the lake with Daddy and Uncle Danny. Tessa decided one trip was enough for her. She said the boat was making her seasick.

 Uncle Matt gave Gwennie rides in his lacross stick.

 Daddy was nice enough to take the kids for a swim in the nasty lake water. It was cold, but they loved it!

 Gwen is such a water baby! She loves being in the water.

 Mommy and Gwen. It was a very sunny day!

 After we had our fill at the lake, we headed back to Ma and Pa's house for a yummy bbq and birthday party for Uncle Ben.

Gwen loves playing in the grass. She is our first baby that will even touch grass!

We had a fun day playing with family. Now back to work and school.....

Game Day!

Thursday was the first BYU football game of the season and Eric and Adam have been SO excited!! When Adam got home from school he put on his new BYU football shirt and helped me hang our BYU flag. It was a late game, but we let the kids stay up to watch it.

If you heard screaming coming from our house, it was either Adam cheering when we got a touchdown or Eric yelling at the officials for all the horrible calls. It ended up being a ridiculously long game due to all the (bad) calls. It was like an hour a quarter...insane!

 Adam lasted until about 11:30pm when there was about 6 minutes left in the game. We won 30-6 and Adam was so happy for our victory! He said the next day at school he was so excited about football, he played a little football with some 2nd graders during recess. 

Go Cougars!

She's On The Move!

Our little Gwennie is crawling and sitting up all on her own now. Adam and Tessa are thrilled with all of her new tricks and are constantly cheering her on. I am glad she is growing and developing, but sad that my baby is getting so big so fast! She has been very clingy since our trip and constantly wants to be held (only by Mommy) and freaks out if I leave a room without her. Otherwise, she continues to be a wonderful baby who is having fun exploring with her new found freedom. She loves to sit right in from of the entertainment center and play with her reflection in the glass. We just can't get enough of her!
