Getting BIG!

It is so crazy to watch her climb off of objects. She is big enough to rock herself! Growing way to fast! Slow down baby!

The Tulsa ZOO

In Tulsa, OK they have a great zoo! It is really open and you see the animals really well. I loved the chimpanzees! They are the cutest little families! I just loved all the animals and was amazed to watch them move and think about their creation.

A fun weekend and Birthday

For date night we went to the cemetery where Sam Walton is buried. (He is the starter of Walmart) We had a name hunt. We saw some old graves from the 1600's there. It was really good to get a perspective on life again. It really is short and what matters the most is living a good life and helping your family come back home to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.







Of all the presents and fun night. Books still hold her heart!
She wasn't sure about her cake and then when she tried it....she
started to shove it in her mouth! If you go to youtube
and look up Smash that birthday cake you can see her cake experience.

first words

Since she was a newborn the song Old McDonald has always had a calming affect on her. She would always just stop crying and listen to it. Now when you ask her "on his farm he had a;......." she will answer with an animal. She knows dog, cat, and cow. When you say the sounds for sheep, chickens, and horse she will copy you. Her other words are book, tongue, ball, bottle, mom, dad, all done. But as you can imagine some are really close and others are almost all the way pronounced. It is so fun hearing her talk!!

Bows!Bows! Bows! The internet has great instructions!

I have been loving to make bows for gifts and for Lydia! I wanted to show how to do them in case anyone wanted to know how easy and fun it is. It is great to have a bow party. Several people bring flowers from the dollar store and take them apart. To hold them together using any size of brad. Then layer and make your own styles large or small. For the centers buttons, jewels, or even mix matching centers to make a fun flower bow. I also like to make ribbon bows. You can look up a lot of fun instructions on the internet.

This weekend was great! I was able to visit my beautiful 89 year old grandma! We also enjoyed seeing long awaited Aunts and uncles. We love our Mo-Mo!! We also ran into some Kunz's! Grandpa's cousin!
