First Swim of the Season

Today we went with Kyle and Tiffany to the Pleasant Grove Veterans Pool. It was the first time that Ashlyn and I had been swimming this summer, and she wore the swimsuit that Grandma May gave her for Easter!



Here she is lifting up her cover-up to show me her "baby." Lately, she has been calling her tummy her "baby." I think I've confused her by continually telling her that there is a baby in my tummy.


Just chillin' at the poolside.


Munching on some carrots. For some reason, I really love this picture.


I was determined that Ashlyn would not fall asleep in the car on the way home from the pool, so I gave her a pen and paper (she is usually really good with pens) to keep her occupied. Unfortunately, when we arrived home, I realized that she had been drawing on herself and on her shoe.


She is proudly showing off her body art.

"I want to Color"

Ashlyn really likes to draw and color. From a young age, she could hold pens and crayons and scribble away. Unfortunately, the other day she noticed that I was highlighting words in a book I was reading. She has now decided that she likes to color in books. No good. How do I explain the difference to a one-year-old?

Three Years and Counting

Yesterday was our third wedding anniversary and we celebrated by eating at Ruby River (it has become a tradition). The service wasn't great, but the food was delicious and we definitely loved the company! Brad brought home some beautiful flowers as well as an assortment of candy - he really covered the bases. There were options for any kind of candy craving: Twizzlers, Yorks, and Milky Way. He sure is the perfect husband for a pregnant woman. I love you Brad!

At the Playground

Lorie is living with us for the summer, and just the other day, the three of us went to the park. Ashlyn loves the swings and the slides, and she happens to be quite a little climber too. Lorie is wonderful at taking pictures, and she captured all of these shots.

Don't you love those bangs???




It's me!




Down she goes.


We love having Lorie around (when she isn't working one of her two jobs)!
