Walking Along...

Adalyn finally decided that it was time to try and walk by herself. She has been watching her cousin, Kayson, walk around for a couple of weeks now and began to mimick him a few of days ago. She first started with just a few steps here and there. Then the night that we babysat Kayson, she wathced as he walked back and forth all over the room. She started by taking just a few steps again, and then within minutes was walking all over the room! In one night she figured out she could walk by herself and even learned how to stand up by herself. Thanks to cute baby Kayson our little one got the confidence to do it herself!

The two little munchkins at the Treehouse Childrens Museum. These two have so much fun playing together!

My Sister's Wedding Day

After much time,planning, and waiting the Big Day finally came and went. Melissa and Jordan were married on Friday and everything was beautiful (especially the bride!).

The Happy Couple

Aaron and Devin sharing their Lion House rolls with the kids... Not an easy thing to share!

Kayson and Adalyn loved climbing the temple stairs.

The Reception:

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!

This post is especially for my out of town sister-in-laws who I know will want to see a picture when they find out that I have once again chopped my hair. During the winter time I was determined to grow out my hair, but then the heat of summer came and all was lost. I now have this style courtesy of my best friend Jessica Barnes.





















I really like it, but I'm still trying to get used to it!

Beware... Overload Ahead!

NEW STUFF!
Adalyn has gotten very good at mimicking our words. Her first was saying the word 'catch' and she repeated it after Devin told her to 'catch' the ball. Now she says it constantly!


She also loves putting lids back on bottles and jars. She thinks it is hilarious and is very proud of herself when she puts it on right.


Adalyn had a great time hiding her cookie, raising her hands as if to say,"Where'd it go?", and then squealing with delight when she found it again. So cute!




SAYING GOODBYE TO LOS RICKERS!
Unfortunately we had to say goodbye to our good friends Heather, Jay, and Gwen who moved to Oregon on Saturday. They will be missed very much, but we wish them the best!
































Devin holding Gwen and Addie obviously getting a little jealous!












Carson being super sweet and sharing his much beloved doughnut!













OUTDOOR FUN!
Devin brought home a couple hammocks from his mission but we haven't ever been able to use them. We finally got this hammock stand and we absolutely love it!










This is our first flower garden... We are very proud of it and hope that it will last!











OGDEN NATURE CENTER!
On Saturday we went to the Ogden Nature Center. It was lots of fun. Here are Devin and Addie on one of the many trails that they have.












We also got to see several different birds... Here is the Bald Eagle. Addie loved all the animals we saw.









Afterwards we went to the Ogden Junction where Addie instinctively found water...
