24th of July celebration

24th of July was such a fun time! We watched the parade and then went to the Park to play games, have great food and enjoy each others company! Casey loved playing at the park. There's a video of Casey dancing at the park to the music it was so cute! We wished kyle was with us. 3 MORE DAYS until I get to pick him up from the airport! Yay!

St. George Trip

We had some fun times in St. George last week! We went swimming, played at fiesta fun, ate out, and relaxed around the house! We plan to go again in a couple of weeks but next time I'll have my sweet husband with me!

3 years! Forever to go!

My sweet husband who's not able to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary with me today gave my sister a gift to secretly give to me on this special day. Sparkling cider, my favorite symphony bar, a pink rose, and a sweet letter! We said no presents for our anniversary this year but in Kyles letter he said "I know we said no presents but I got you a gift instead. I love you so so much. I am so glad we are married and sealed in the temple by Gods authority. I look forward to spending the eternaties with you and our beautiful and good children. I love you now and I will continue to love you while I am gone and when I get back and I will love you and Casey and Lexi Forever." That is just some of the things he said in his sweet letter to me! I can hardly believe 3 years have already passed and 2 children have come into our lives! I am the luckiest women to have such a wonderful, sweet, and loving eternal companion! We'll have Forever Anniversarys to spend together!

Caseys 2 Year Birthday Party!

Our little Casey is growing up so fast! I can't believe he's already 2 years old! What a busy birthday! I made him mickey mouse shaped pancakes with a chocolate chip face. Then for lunch we ate out at the pzza factory where they were really nice in making Casey a pizza shaped as a 2 for his birthday! He got many fun gifts and it was an overall fun weekend!

Casey LOVES MICKEY MOUSE!!! Can you tell?!!!

AWW!!

Kyle called me last night. It was so short. Cried through the 10 minute conversation. Just hearing his voice brought tears of joy and saddness. He's is doing good. He was a squad leader that night so he had a meeting during phone privilages so that's why we only talked for a couple of minutes. Just my luck. He said everyone stinks because they've been out in the field for the past 12 days and they haven't showered in like 8 days or more. haha poor Cadets!

ONLY 15 MORE DAYS!!!

Baby Lexi 4 months old and so much more!

Our little baby Lexi is 4 months old exactly today! What an angel sent from heaven! She is just the best baby! So sweet and happy! She will even take a bottle now! She used to hate bottles and scream if you touched one to her mouth as if to say, "how dare you, you insult me by even trying!" After days of trying and tricking her into a bottle she will now take one! She doesn't love the bottle but she'll at least tolerate it. Up to now I had no need to give her a bottle but tomorrow I get my wisdom teeth out and I'll be pretty drugged up so I won't be nursing her for the next couple of days. Thank goodness for the internet and all the ideas on how to get her to take a bottle!

p.s. I just noticed the video of Casey doing the hula dance did upload so i'll have to do that later. my computer takes forever to load a video.

Proof that she takes a bottle now!

I got Casey and Lexi matching mini and mickey pajamas! They look so cute together as brother and sister! Casey loves kissing baby Lexi and he even lets her cuddle with him while he watches mickey mouse clubhouse which he loves!Casey Doing the Hula Dance!!

Cousins

My sister Annie and her family came down for the fourth of July weekend! Casey loved playing with cousin Gracie and Lexi loved playing with Crew who is exactly a month apart!

Red, White & Blue

We had a great 4th of July but we did MISS KYLE a lot! We spent it with Family and my sister Annie was in town with her kids so Casey had a friend for a couple of days while they stayed here!
