Stevie is home!!!

My little bro Steven got home from his mission on Tues August 11 late in the evening. Just the siblings and a few nephews and nieces went to see him at the airport!
















It was so great to see Stevie again! The next evening my family had a get together at my parents house where Stevie got to meet my husband and hold Owen for the first time :)

More summer fun!

So here is some pictures of some fun stuff we have been up to this summer.




Bessie having her first motorcycle ride with Uncle Brandon.

Owen hanging out at liberty Park in SLC



Mabel having fun at liberty park.




This is what Mabel does around 1pm no matter where she is, she loves her naps!



Bryce and his "girlfriends" Rachel and Anika :)



I have to tell the story behind this picture. Bryce was sitting on this rock in this position for literally 10 mins and when I asked him why he was just sitting there he said he was relaxing! LOL! I seriously laughed for like 5 minutes :D



Hallie at liberty park

The next few pictures are the Childrens Garden at Thanksgiving point















Owens first time with his feet in grass and he didn't really even notice or care :D

A new found hobby :)

I have found a new hidden talent/hobby that I didn't think I would have and that is crocheting around blankets! I actually like doing it and according to my mom and sister I have a natural talent for it. So for my very first blanket I decided to make Owen a monkey blanket because we call him monkey. I found this fabric at the cotton shop in Provo and then had my Mother in law put Owens name and a cute monkey/saying :)



This is a picture of the start of the blanket I will post a picture of the completed project later.

My little Monkey!

Owen is getting big too fast!

So lots has happened lately!

Can you believe it at just 2 days shy of 3 months my little Owen rolled from his back to his tummy! He is growing up WAY WAY too fast!



Here is a picture of Owen that I took today to show exactly how big he was when he rolled for the first time :)

Busy busy week.

Ok so since my last weight loss post I have lost 4.2 more pounds for a grand total of 10.2 lbs in just three weeks! On my way still to looking like the picture below;)

Yeah for me!



Other news, Mabel, Bryce, me and Owen have been having tons of fun hanging out with Jenna almost everyday:) I wonder when Jenna will cry uncle and say enough of Michelle see ya later! So far she says that we are her sanity and make her get out so I don't think we are over staying our welcome not yet anyway :)



The other big news was that I finally got to me my brother-in-law Jake. He just got from his mission to Mexico. I think he and Jenna look a lot a like and even have the same laugh.



Jake came home on Friday night at midnight and all the siblings went to greet him but the spouses stayed home with our kids. Then on saturday morning the whole family gathered at my mother in laws house and we had yummy food and lots of visiting time. It was so interesting to be a part of a family for over a year and then finally meet the last member and see how the whole family fits together. Then on Sunday Ashley, Jennas little girl was blessed so we all got together again for that and it was fun and Ashley looked so cute in her blessing dress. Monday evening we gathered together once again at the in-laws to celebrate Dawn (Trent's mom) and Rachels(Jennas 3 yr old daughter) birthdays. Bryce came with me on Monday because Mabel was really sick and her parents took her to the hospital to make sure she wasn't dehydrated. Thankfully Mabel started keeping some liquids down and she had a wet diaper so they let her go home just a couple hours later. Bryce had so much fun being around a big family and kids his own age. But I think his favorite new person was Clay (Trent's brother) They were doing Karate moves together and Bryce was giggling so hard. :) I have also found out recently that Bryce loves playing with Rachel which I think is funny:) I think that Bryce and Rachel love each other because Rachel likes to boss Bryce around and Bryce likes being bosses around :)


Just in case people wanted to see Bryce I thought I would post this really cute pic of him :)
