Happy 1st Birthday Drakey

I know everybody says it, but I can't believe my baby is one year old! It really does seem like yesterday we were at the hospital... Drake has grown so much and he is such a precious part of our family. He is always smiling and laughing and he is becoming a bit mischievous. He is already so much like Grant... stubborn and strong-willed. We love him so much, and can't remember life without him! Happy bday baby!

Here is a look back :)

XOXOXOXOXO

And While I Was Away...

Grant played! He will deny that he is obsessed with his new motorcycle, but he is. It is pretty much all he has talked about, or done since he got it. And I have such mixed feelings about it. It is so fun to see him so excited about something. And he has wanted a bike since I met him. And when it is parked in the garage I love it and think it is so cool... it's just the whole riding it thing that sucks. Everytime he leaves on it I worry. Maybe I'm just being paranoid? But anyway here it is, the "other woman" in my life...

Weekend Away

I spent the 24th weekend in Idaho with Drake. We stayed at my grandma's house with my parents, Whitney and Stephanie. It was so fun to spend time with everybody and it is always so good to see my grandma. The first two days we just hung around, and went shopping. And one of the funnest parts of the trip was letting Drake play in the backyard. He LOVES being outside. It was so fun to watch him. We barely turned the sprinkler on and he thought it was so fun.



Then on Saturday my dad took us to see the Blue Angels in Twin Falls, ID at the air show. It was hot, but so much fun. Drake loved seeing the planes and jets. Sometimes the jets would startle Drake and he would hold on to you so tight, then he would just go on like nothing happened. After the show we went to Shoshone Falls to eat a late lunch before we hit the road to come home. It was such a fun weekend, I'm sad it's over.

So excited to get out of the carseat

This should be pretty fun. Can't wait to see what everyone remembers ;)

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

Playin' Outside

Yesterday we went up to Grant's parent's house in Herriman to hang out. I'm starting to figure out that Drake loves being outside. If he sees anyone go outside without him he just starts crying. And it is so sad cuz we don't really have a yard for him to play in yet (hopefully next summer we will) Until then grandma and grandpa have lots of fun stuff for the grandbabies to do
First he went on a scooter ride with Grant

ha ha you nerd! White socks w/ sandles huh? The truth is he was on his way to the car to get his shoes, but like a good paparazzi I got a quick pic

zip line, Drake loved it

Swinging double dutch with cousin Ella

And this was the biggest surprise of the day... Drake played in the sand and sat in the same spot for about 45 minutes. He didn't even try to run anywhere! And ever since he started walking at 10 months he is nonstop!! So I was shocked that he played in the sand that long!!! We need a sandbox asap!

4th of July!

I know it's the 9th, but oh well. I LOVE the 4th of July, it's one of my very favorite holidays. I got a little bummed this year though because it was so hot I felt like I couldn't do anything! Me and my sister took Drake to the parade on the 3rd. I was so excited to see what he would think of the motorcycles and horses and floats. But we were waiting for about 45 minutes and not one float had come yet. I was dying of heat!! And Drake's little face was bright red so we left before it even started. I was so bummed:( But later that night we went to the Riverton carnival and it was really fun. Me and Drake went on the Merry-Go-Round and he seemed to like the ride.

Hot Baby!

Uh... where is the parade??

One the actual 4th I learned my lesson and stayed inside during the day. We went to Grant's parents' for pizza and then Grant took me on a scooter ride. And after that we went to watch the fireworks. And the fireworks show made up for everything else I didn't get to do... it was so fun. And I thought Drake might cry or something but he was just chillin' eating teddy grahams. Hopefully next year I WON'T be pregnant in the summer and I'll be able to do more with the boys. Hope everyone had a fun holiday!

Happy 4th with my honey

Watchin' the show with my baby

One More...

I know scrapbook pages is all I've posted lately, but I have been having so much fun! I know I need to take a break because my house is getting messy and the laundry is piling up. So I'm grounding myself from the computer until I catch up on everything!

Just Another Page:)

I've just been working on another page. I know you are probably getting tired of seeing these same old vacation pics, I kinda am! ... But they are giving me the most inspiration right now :)

My First Ever Scrapbook Page

I have been wanting to begin scrapbooking for such a long time! But I always felt so overwhelmed with all the different kinds of supplies there are. I never knew where to start... A friend of mine was showing me the scrapbooks she made digitally and I knew I wanted to learn asap! I am a total beginner and feel very uncreative, but really had fun making this first page. I want to get better and better. My favorite part was no mess, no cutting, no papers everywhere. And now I can just print this out on a 12X12 paper and put it in a book. I think I found a new obsession :) ( I know it is 2 am, but I was determined to make atleast one page!! I will be paying for it tomorrow)

Happy Father's Day Honey

Grant is such a sweet dad. When I had complications after Drake was born, Grant was amazing. He took such good care of Drake. I swear I didn't change one diaper until Drake was a week old or something, Grant did it all. And Drake loves his dad. He gets so excited when he hears Grant get home and he goes over to the stairs to look for him. And he loves playing chase with Grant, he gets so excited and silly whenever Grant starts chasing him. I can't wait until Drake is old enough to tell Grant how much he loves him, but it's pretty obvious that he does!!
Love you bug!

I love you Grant (all 3 of us do)

Boys and their TOYS

Both Grant and Drake have gotten some new toys... (actually they've had them for a few months but I haven't taken any pics) Grant got a scooter along with some of his friends and brothers. They go riding around together on the weekends. It's pretty easy to control so I ride it around our neighborhood, but haven't been brave enough to take it on busy roads. And it's been great at 80 miles per gallon!


And then Drakey got a Lightening McQueen push toy. It plays music and talks and he loves walkin it around the house. But sometimes he scares me cuz he will push it from the side instead of the back and fall over with it... I love watching him with it though!
