Finally a girls room in the house

I know your thinking,but she is already 9 months old. Well..... she spent the first seven months in my room because I didn't want to have Cayson (just turned two) to move to the back of the house. We had her in a cute little cradle with a small dresser on the side. The rest of her clothes were in Chris's closet, how cute that was to see her tiny little dresses hanging next to his long shirts :)

It was a sad day to move my baby boys darling stuff out of the room and put him with his brother on the bunk beds. I got over it real quick when I watched Chris painting the walls purple. We just finished it this weekend with the picture collage.

Thanks to my sister and sister in law for the great gift of those precious pictures. Thanks to my sweet sister in law Shelley for the words on the wall. They couldn't have been more perfect. A dream I have been wishing for for ten years now a reality. Thanks to my sister in law Sarah for her help going through magazines and finding the perfect idea for above Allison's crib. I love my SISTERS!!!

4th of July fun

We had such a fun holiday with the family. We drove to Navajo lake were Grandma and Grandpa were camping. Chris fished with the boys. They didn't catch anything, but were so happy to be sitting at the nice cool lake with DAD. Grandma BBQ some great hamburgers and hotdogs and then we were off to explore. First went went to the ice cave. I have never seen anything like this cave before, you go from hot to so cold you can see your breath, the entire floor is covered in ice and you can still see the sun shining outside - amazing. Next we were off the hike to the falls. This is something my Dad has always enjoyed, he even broke the rules (trail was closed -which is SO not like him) to take us on this gorgeous hike, pointing out all the tree's and bushes along the way. We had a quiz on the way back - Sarah won :) The adventure continued to another cave (I can't remember the name of the cave). When you first enter the cave it is very large inside, but completely dark. Jerin and I made it about 30 steps in when he decided he didn't like how cold and dark it was getting. Cayson on the other hand made it all the way through with his dad. Towards the end, the cave gets very narrow and you have to get down on your hands and knees and crawl out a very small opening. Those of you that know Chris will be surprised to know he DID it. See the picture of Cayson next to the opening at the end.
We ended our adventure driving to Brian Head and watching the fireworks. They were the best fireworks I have seen. They were so close and the people and atmosphere made it feel like such a special event. I think that is now going to be our 4th of July tradition.
