Our little girl is getting closer and closer to 2 years! ahhhh She is getting so big and so smart! She blows me away with things she will say sometimes! She can talk pretty well if you can understand her! :) She also is VERY very stubborn - she always has been but this last month or so it really has shown through- oh boy! {heaven help us}

She is so much fun and can be oh so sweet! she is a true sweetheart and melts hearts of everyone she comes in contact with!!

She has such a contagious laugh! you cant help but laugh with her when she is laughing and giggling!

She still loves Elmo and she has grown a love for other shows such as:

Robin Hood

After the game we ate more pizza and then we hit the road home back to IF!

It was such a great weekend and we had so much fun!!

Boise Day 3!

On Saturday we had a low key morning had lounged around the Hotel until about noon-1ish! Then we went to the Hockey Rink and ate pizza! Then we watched Marcus play a game which they lost- but they played well!

Micah and Mary entertaining themselves as we watched the games!

Here is our group cheering on Marcus' team!

Ok so you are going to think I am crazy- but this Hotel was amazing and- I was down in the lower level and went to the bathroom thinking I would walk in to this little room with just one toilet and a sink- well no.. it was a GORGEOUS bathroom haha- Where I am sitting is in the corner of the bathroom- I thought it was cool!!

After the games we went out to eat at Donnie Mac's- This place is AWESOME!! Its like a total ghetto atmosphere but it is just totally fun and crazy! For instance- On the kids menu it has Spaghettios: They take it out of the can- then warm it up- and then they put it back in the can and serve it to you just like that! haha

and they have great Burgers!

Mary LOOVED the ketchup!! haha this was easy entertainment for about 5 minutes!!

yuck! haha

Wash some of that down!!!

Then we went swimming!

I loved this! Mary is a natural in the water- we put her on her back and look how she puts her arms!! LOVE it!

Boise Day 2!

Most the day on Friday we were at Hockey games! The top part is Marcus! He is a GREAT hockey player!! I am now hooked on watching Hockey!

Aubs, Mary, and I watching the games!

Mary and I

Beautiful!

Marcus being silly with Mary's gloves haha

The Hotel we stayed at was AMAZING! It was beautiful! They gave us two "drink" tickets in the evenings where you go down in the lower level in the lounge and you can get a complimentary- beer, wine, or soda- So here is Joee and I having a chat and some drinks! ( I had dr Pepper!!)

Then- wonderful Hope, Austin, and Marcus watched Mary while Will, Corey, Joee, and I went and ate at Tucanos! VERY YUMMY- I thought i was going to BLOW UP!

This was one of the meats- I took a picture of it cause it is shaped like a heart! Will thought i was an idiot to take a picture!!!

Here is the picture Austin sent me while we were gone! Hope and Mary sleepin' away!!!

Boise Day 1!

We arrived in Boise on Thursday- We got here and checked into our hotel- then went to the mall and ate some dinner- and then went to Build-a Bear!!! Mary loved making her a "kitty"

Mary choosing what she wants for sure!

She chose a Kitty

Feeling the Kitty to see if its stuffed enough!

We dressed the Kitty in scrubs! since Mary loves doing CPR and all on her stuffed animals!! Our future Nurse or Dr maybe??

Mary and her kitty named "Kitty" Yep Mary named it all by herself!! haha

And then Aubrey and I got our nails done!! wahoo-- what a great start to a great weekend!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEGSY!!!

She is 2 years old now!!!! She is such a cutie!

We love you Megs!!!

Recent Happenings!

We are so in love with this girl!! But she sure has major attitude!!!

Lately she has been really into talking on the phone- she will walk around acting like she is just chatting away-- haha its so cute- the other day she was leaning up against the coffee table and and she would like smack her lips- and then do this pretend laugh and was chatting away- it was so cute!

a snapshot of me and my baby!!!

Last week my cousin Melanie and I took our girls to McDonalds so they can play and this is cute Ashlee- she was having a blast- and every time i would say "Ash, let me get a picture of you" this is the adorable face she would make!

Taya chillin' on the chair!

This last weekend we went to Utah- my cousins from Washington were in Provo so we went down to spend time with them!

not quite sure what Mary is doing here- but a darn cute picture none the less!!

Since my cousins were sleeping at my Grandma's- me and my family chose to sleep over at the Watson's (Rachel's in-laws) It was a blast- in the toy room there is this little bassinett and Mary LOVED it and kept getting inside it and saying "ni ni" haha
