June-July Happenings

ONE YEAR!!
We can't believe it!
This is her party invitation Brock made:

The weekend of June 26th was a pretty big one! It was Kaelyn’s first birthday and my best friend Amber’s wedding. We went down a little bit early so we could get Kaelyn’s one year pictures taken. I’ll post them when we get them! We celebrated Kaelyn’s birthday one day early, on Friday. We all went to Toy Story 3 at the Drive In. Great movie! Kaelyn (actually everyone BUT Kaelyn) opened her presents and we had some crumbly cake. It was hot, there was a bad experience with the rude owners of the drive in, and my cake didn’t turn out but we still had so much fun! Kaelyn pooped out about 10 minutes into the movie, which was probably a good thing!

Saturday was Amber’s wedding. I’m so glad we were able to be there. It was an awesome experience. I love going back to sealings because, let’s face it, most of us don’t remember much from our big day! Anyway, there were some great messages given and it was just so neat. Congratulations Amber! You looked beautiful.

Poor Kaelyn has some troubles with her BM’s, so Brock thought we should try putting her on the toilet while she’s at work. He thought maybe it would make it easier on her and potty train her at the same time. I just had to laugh at that! We gave it a try anyway. I think she was too distracted with her surroundings to try much. Especially that roll of toilet paper. I think babies are attracted to those! She’s unraveled one too many!
Idaho Falls puts on a really great show for the 4th of July. Also, because it is funded by a Mormon (Frank Vandersloot, owner of Melaleuca) he requested the show be on the 3rd this year. I think the majority of the state was okay with that! This show brings some pretty big crowds, so we decided to watch it from a dirt road out of the city. It actually ended up being a great spot. The music that goes with the show is broadcast over a local radio station, so it was just like we were there, except that we were in the warmth of our car and without the nuisance of mosquitoes! We were sad that we couldn’t be in Morgan for the big 4th party, but we actually had a good little party of our own!
watching the fireworks

This is a typical day for Kaelyn and I. Especially since we don’t have AC, we need to get in the water to cool down (actually I just get my toes wet, but it helps!). Kaelyn usually plays in the water for approximately 30 seconds before she’s done. And that’s only her hands and toes getting wet. We’re working on that though! And look at Kaelyn! She is totally in her element when she’s dressed up all girly. You can just tell she loves it. So funny!

Escape from Walmart!!

We finally got to take a little break and go on vacation. Brock's mom has a time share at Fairmont Hot Springs in Montana, the same place we honeymooned. So, it was fun revisiting the ol' hot springs. We were actually able to meet up with with our friends Jon and Ronae since it was about halfway between the both of us. And the best part was our babies got to play together again!

Look! No hands!

We were also able to see Paige and Christa's families while we were there.

Kaelyn was sneaking Liv's food when she wasn't watching.

Where'd they go?!

I love Liv's smooshy face!

Matchy matchy hats!



Sweet Liv :)

The babies getting ready for their first swim ever!!


Hiking! Thanks Diane for letting us borrow your back pack!!




Kaelyn and Liv loved being dunked in the water.


We went down to Morgan for the last part of Brock's vacation. We helped move Raegen back home from college for the summer and we were able to go out to dinner and celebrate Brock's THIRTIETH!!

P.F. Chang's. Yummo!

Crew and Rae

LOTS of random pics!

We haven't had a lot going on lately, but I feel bad not posting. So here are some pictures of us just hanging out. That's what we do best!

Consider yourself warned. There are many pictures!

As you can see, she loves having her picture taken.


Brock loves giving her goofy hair-do's!

...and throwing her in her basket of blankies

paparazzi won't leave her alone.


Grandpa Ernie and Grandma Leslie came up to Idaho Falls to take us to lunch for my birthday. Thanks! It was delish!


These two have so much fun together!

Not quite fitting into her peacoat but she had to wear it for valentine's!

No she's not crying. She's just very excited to have her picture taken!

Lincoln and Kaelyn. Still young enough to sit on the table. We'll have to break them soon, tho.

We spent a couple of days in Morgan to visit some family



While there, we went to Broc and Crystal's 'Gender Reveal Party.' We were supposed to wear the color of the sex we were guessing. Kaelyn chose blue, and she was totally right! I can't remember what Grandpa Ernie was guessing tho...


Just the Broc/k's hangin' out.


Watching Wall-e on the big screen!
