Utah

We went up to Salt Lake/Bountiful a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time. We stayed with SPencer and Julie, Gregs college roommate. It was so nice of them to let us stay there. We had so much fun seeing old friends. We also go to meet Hannah!! it was so funny to watch all the kids playing together. The weather was awesome too, a nice break from Vegas!! Grace, Abby, Hannah, and Evan
The "car" that all the kids fought over!

Happy Birthday Abby!!

Happy Birthday Abby!! I cannot believe she is one. Time flies!! This has been the best and toughest year of our lives!! I can't imagine life without her. She is a joy to us and everyone else around her. I am so thankful that I was chosen to be her mother, and I thank heavenly father every day for her. She is growing so fast. She is walking like a maniac and gets into EVERYTHING!!! She took steps a while ago but just in the last week she has taken off and only walks now. We went to the doc today and she is still small but thats ok. She weighs 18 pounds and 27 3/4 inches just like her mom was at one! Since our families don't live here Abby gets two cakes. One a couple weeks ago at Gregs parents and one today and then she will get another one at my parents next week. We love this little girl!! 1 year ago

She loves to put things around her neck so I got her some necklaces

The new purse her Aunt Jennifer made her and her new Xylaphone (spelling?)

She got this tutu for Christmas but I forgot about it. Greg says she looks like AceVenura pet detective!

Grandmas House

Lake Powell

We had so much fun at Lake Powell but it went way too fast. Abby did way good, she loved the water but hated her life jacket!! Greg's niece and her husband came with us which made the trip even better. We found 2 really cool hikes that led to slot canyons, they were amazing! I love this place and can't wait to go back next year!! We went to California the next day after we got back, pictures to come later.

Its been a while!

Its been a while since I posted. Abby is almost one, I can't belive it!!! She is growing too fast! She has taken about 5 steps on her own. If she just got some guts she could totally walk. She stands forever by herself. She is so much fun!! She is finally getting more teeth too, it only took like 4 months! There are some videos posted below.

We went ot St George 2 weekends ago and went swimming as always, she just loves the water. SHe jumps (well trys) off the side to us and has no fear. I also got to go 4-wheeling w hile we were there. It was pretty fun and scary. We went to a cool lookout. Other than that we are doing the same old stuff, me working and GReg going to school. We are going to Lake Powell in 2 weeks, I can't wait!! It will definitely be different now that we have a baby. Hopefully she will like it though. She thinks its so funny when we put her sunglasses on. She usually takes them right off.

Our little acrobat!

Best Buddies!

In her room reading her books. SHe looks at these and talks to herself, it is adorable.

We tried to make it look like he is climing up a cliff, ha ha.

Exploring!!

Abby has discovered the dishwasher and it is her new favorite thing. She climed right up there all by herself!
This is what we do to Abby when she is naughty, ha ha!!

Jack was not very happy that she was in his house!

Fun Stuff

We have had a fun past week. First, Jake, Whitney, and Luke Hawkins came into town!! We have never met Luke so it was fun to see him. We went swimming at the Hilton with the babies and they loved it!! I hope they get to play again soon. It was so fun to see you guys!! This past weekend we went to St George for some more swimming! It was sooo warm. Abby got a new floaty that she can be in by herself and she loved it! We took these pics below on my parents putting green. I guess she is going to follow in the families footsteps and be a golfer! Abby decided to finally crawl like a big girl on all fours and she mastered the stairs at my parents house!! I think we will have a walker soon.

Abby loves her daddy!

She was on the hot cement and she didn't even care.

Abby and LUke

He is just a little bit bigger that her!!

I love naked babies
