Stone update




Stone had his four month check up about two weeks ago, I can't remember his percentiles (I am a bad mom) He is 15 lbs and 24 inches, and is doing very well. He is rolling over like crazy and laughing and cooing and singing. He loves napping with is Dad. You can't break his gaze when he watches his dad play guitar and sing. He is so much fun to be around and I love seeing his personality more and more. He is becoming a little Momma's boy which I love and hate, but he still will let anybody hold him (for now). He is so interested in eating real food...which isn't surprising seeing as how much his parents love to eat. This lady at church pinched his cheeks and said sarcastically, "It's a shame his parents don't feed him." It cracked me up. His stomach is so sensitive, he is always spitting up especially on dad, but obviously something is sticking. I made some babyfood from our apricots, he loves it. He also has tried squash, applesauce and of course rice cereal. I will post more pics in the next few days.

My New haircut and Polynesian night at Gardner Village





I was really trying to grow my hair out since I got married but I just couldn't stand it anymore...it was boring and ugly and falling out at an alarming rate. So my second cousin Shelbi cut my hair. I felt like I lost ten pounds...of course I can't get it to look as cute as she styled it, but so it goes. I am no ready to razor some more off and go a tad bit shorter, and piecier.

We have had a busy month plus...Day trips here and there another trip to California (those pics to come) We had a fun night about two weeks ago at gardner village. All the stores were opened until midnight and there was polynesian dancers, music, food, etc...Good weather, good times, and best of all I ran into my favorite roommate from freshman year at Ricks, Millie. She spotted me in the food court, I miss her southern drawl. She lives in Lehi now, so we are excited to get reaquainted. It is so fun to bump into someone when you wonder if you are ever going to see them again. Such a treat.

I got a case of "Puppy Love"

Random Pics

These are just a few pics from the West Fest way back at the end of June. Stone loved the lights from the Carnie rides and especially the fireworks show. He is not gun-shy at all it's crazy...and we know he is not deaf. He is probably just used to his loud parents from the womb, especially his dad. Over the 4th of July we also went to Cedar City for the Shakespeare festival, and ate at some yummy restaurants. We took Stone swimming for his first time, but no pics to document that. Our family went out for a visit to San Jose and we went to the beach the aquarium and had a big family dinner. It was nice just to swim and relax and have no real responsibilities for a week. After Drew came back with us for a week. He loved taking care of the farm animals, riding the horses, waterslides and most of all wrestling with Uncle Spence. We also saw the Osmonds and Mo Tab for a Pioneer Day Commemoration concert...it actually was pretty entertaining. President Monson was there that night (Friday) and I thought it was very cool to be doing the same thing the Prophet was doing on a Friday night. We had a ward campout Friday night. It was so fun. We have such a down to earth and hilarious ward, some of the funniest stories I have ever heard. Bright and early Saturday morning Spence baptized our nephew Zach (his sister's boy). That was his first baptism and he did an awesome job. I lost or misplaced my camera at our ward campout, so if I get it back soon I will post some pics of the above.
