Sweet girl

I love this sweet little girl... She without a doubt makes me laugh and smile everyday! I feel SO very blessed to have her as a part of my life... She definitely brings me so much joy and happiness! How did I get so lucky?!

Falcon Field Park & Picnic

So don't mind that almost each and every post of mine has like a gazillion pictures... I am just a picture person... I absolutley love taking them, and even more, looking at them... And since I have decided that this blog is pretty much serving its purpose as a photo journal here we go...

Today I decided that I wanted to go out and spend some time with Morgan... I feel like sometimes I neglect spending time with her since I am busy with baby, cleaning, etc... I asked her if she wanted to go on a picnic with MOM today and Paul asked if I was just going to take her... I responded by saying no I think I will take both of them, and then Paul suggested that I ask my dad to go with us to have our picninc at the park...So I called my dad and he gladly accepted our invitation... I packed up the kids and we headed over to grandpas to pick him up, and then over to Subway to get our dinner( a yummy orchard chicken salad sub) and then over to the falcon field park... After eating my dad and Morgan went to go play on all the fun toys! I stayed back with asher, put the zoom lense on the camera, and went to work taking fun picutres of Morgan and Grandpa at play...

Just sitting in his carseat watching Morgan and Grandpa at play... Such a happy boy!

laying in the grass... Love those chunky feet!

Funny story...Morgan loves money and so my dad had given her a quarter to put in her little purse... Well when she went to go play on these little bouncy animals she gets out her quarter and starts trying to find the slot that you put the money in... As if it was one of those electronic moving toys outside of grocery stores or in the malls sometimes... which is wierd becuase she has never even been on one so to get the idea of putting money in it baffles me... I guess she is just a smart girl... Anywho, she was looking all over for little slots to put her precious little quarter in...

Well what do you know... All of a sudden we hear a "clink" and she had found a slit to put her money in...(I dont know if you cab see it in the pic below but where the silver part is)

Morgan insisted that she put more money into the squirell so here is grandpa trying to find some money...

He found a penny to give her!

And there she goes... if you look close you can see her putting it into the slot...

We had a fun day at the park with grandpa and look forward to going back many more times!

Asher's Blessing

We finally did it... We blessed Asher... I feel bad that he is almost 4 months old and we are just now blessed him... Oh well I guess the important thing is that we did... On Sunday we had a nice blessing for Asher... One of the couselors in the bishopric came over to our place to bless Asher so that my dad and brothers would feel more comfortable coming... I am so glad that he was willing to come to our place... I think it made the world of differnce for my family... I am SO grateful aswell that my dad and brothers made the effort to come and support us in this special day... I know how uncomfortable those situations can be for them... Along with my family being there was Pauls family minus his younger brother Robert and his older brothers wife... Paul did a great job on blessing Asher although I will admit I was a little distracted since Morgan was being loud trying to tell her cousin Neila to get out of her chair... After we blessed him we had dinner... Sweet pork salads and burritos and Paulines homemade red salsa and my dads homemade green salsa... It was all very delicious! We had a good time visiting and taking some pics! Here is Asher being super handsome in his blessing outfit...

Swimming!

I thought it would be fun to take Morgan swimming this year since she Loves the water... (taking showers that is) We took her a couple times last year but didnt show much interest... I took her one day and she did not want to leave... She kept saying to me swimmin once we got home and I had no clue what she was saying.. It sounded a lot more like the word cinnamon... Hehe Paul had to let me know what she was saying... We have now gone to the pool a couple of times so far this summer and look forward to going more... She never wants to leave but mommy gets kind of bored sometimes since its generally just us two there at the pool... Morgan discovered the hot tub and absolutely loves it... I enjoy it too although when its already 11o degrees outside I cant stand to be in there that long... After swimming we like to enjoy eating a popsicle! I love summer days! Now I just need to get Paul to come down with me so we can take Asher swimming too!

Asher's 1st haircut

For an early birthday present I picked up some new clippers for myself and thought I would put them to some good use and give Asher his first real haircut since he was starting to get spots on his head where his hair wad wearing down... I sat him in his bumbo, put on a cape and got to work... I used clippers on the sides and scissors on the top... He did fairly well... The sides ended up a bit shorter than I was wanting but thats okay because he is still as handsome as can be... And now his worn down spots don't synd out as much!

Cute Boy!

I can't get over it... This boy is just TOO CUTE!
