BIG GIRL BED!

Today we converted Whit's crib into a toddler bed! She was so excited to be in a big girl bed! She was jumping on and off it, smiling and laughing! She was a big girl and went right down for a nap, didn't even get off the bed once! Lets cross our fingers hoping it stays that way!!

We also said goodbye to the bottles-we put them in a box and waved goodbye! The binky is going to be a little more tricky....binky's at night only, now that she has the big girl bed!

Welcome to the World.....

Well I must have a little tribute to all the new babies that have come into the world!

GOD BLESS THE USA!

I just love this time of year!! Independence Day is definitely one of my favorite holidays! I have so much love and admiration for all the many people involved in making this Country free! I am grateful to God for establishing a free nation and leading such noble men to make it such, so we can live the way we live and believe what we believe. I love reading our history and seeing the hand in God work his mighty miracles creating freedom! There is no greater feeling than watching our flag raise, with our hands over our heart, and hearing our national anthem! Well, maybe hearing patriotic music while watching fireworks boom in the sky-that gives me goose bumps every time!
I feel truly blessed to be part of this wonderful nation and to have this Great Gospel in my life.
Two of the greatest things, religion and the freedom to have that religion! I hope and pray that God will continue to inspire honest and noble people willing to fight for what our forefathers created and to keep this country a Great Nation under God!

This fourth of July (well, the 3rd) we celebrated our freedom by going to the famous 4th of July Breakfast at the Jorgensons! YUM YUM! My husband was a good sport for waking up early to make the flag raising ceremony! After breakfast we walk in the parade and ended with popsicles at the church! The girls had so much fun! Russ worked on my mothers bathroom most the weekend while Whit and I hung out. Fireworks we did on Monday night! Gotta love a three day holiday celebration!!

SUMMER FUN!

SWIMMING~
We went swimming at Grandma greats pool and Whit just went crazy. She loved to stand on the stair and jump face first into the water. If i didn't let her jump in face first she's throw a fit and wiggle her body to get loose so she could jump. If someone was sanding by the stair-paying attention or not, she was jumping to you! That little fish has no fear! She was loving the water!

LAGOON~
We had fun going to Stake Lagoon day! It was pretty sweet that Ash and I got in free since we are prego and cant ride, and kids two and under are free. So it was a free day of fun-besides parking, the cotton candy that's a must have, and the ice cream to cool us down!!

MMmmmmm.....Ice cream!

I think the funnest part was playing in the water fountain!!

What a BLAST they had!

Man, after playing they were tired and ready to take a nap!!

Wow have I been slacking!

WHITNEY is so much fun! What a big girl she is! She can sing the whole Elmo song, in tune- and loves to sing the alphabet. (that's mostly mumbles with a few letters here and there) A, B, C, D is clear as day though!
She is our little parrot, coping everything. We definitely watch what we say! Her favorite things lately are coloring, swinging, jumping on the tramp, going down the slide, and swimming with her face in the water! Oh, and I cant forget the cookies, fruit snacks, and Popsicles! She LOVES them!

She loves to wear hats! At Granny's house they have birthday hats they wear, and the minute she sees it, she puts it on for most the time we're there. Mama's shoes have become a favorite thing to wear too!

Another thing this girl loves is painting her toes. One day I sat down on the floor to paint my toes and she comes over, sits down, sticks her feet our for me, and asks so sweetly....pwease, pwease, some while wiggling her toes! She's definitley our little girly princess!!

Back in May I made my Mom a 4th of July quilt! It was a lot of work, but I really had fun doing it! Whit helped placing some squares down when I wasn't looking, so thats why there are two of the same together ha ha!

It's a ........

BOY!

Guesses??

I am finally past the first trimester and feeling great. Luckily this pregnancy I haven't been sick like I was with Whitney, but the nausea was bad enough to be annoying. I'm finally getting some energy and food is starting to sound good again!! I'm lovin' it.

Well it wont be long now till we find out the sex so I am taking guesses!!

According to the Chinese Conception Calender posted on my friends blog, It will be a Boy....

WE SHALL SEE.......
