Family Pictures

My sister took our family pictures this weekend. The first one is my side of the family up at Snowbasin and the rest are up Logan Canyon.

Hello Everyone!

I made Gil a blog to keep everyone updated on what he's up to. It's from his point of view...at least my interpretation of it. If anyone wants an invite leave a comment or something with your email and I'll add you.

Gil's 18 month check-up...at 17 months.

Today Gil had his 18 month check up even though he just turned 17 months. I'm not sure why the nurse scheduled his appointment so early but oh well. Here are his stats:

Weight: 23.0 pounds (17th percentile)
Height: 32.0 inches (52 percentile)
Head Circumference: 46.9 centimeters (29th percentile)

I swear I feed him...lots actually. He's a great eater, he's just a very very very active child. He likes to climb up everything. Top of the piano, the back of the couches and lately his new favorite thing to climb is the toilet. He climbs up and sits on the lid. It's funny because he then yells for you to come and see him. Such a silly little monkey.

Gil loves his Daddy so much. It's cute how attached he is to Will. I was talking to Will on the phone yesterday and will demanded the phone so he could talk to him too. After he got off he went and found his play cell phone and was walking around talking to Daddy. It was so cute hearing "Hi Daddy!" over and over. Love you Gil!

Here are some pictures of Gil at Bear Lake this last weekend. His Aunt Dani ( or Nani as Gil calls her) was spending the day with him and they had lots of fun.

Old things

So we finally got around to getting all our files off our old dead computer and so I shall upload some random pictures I found.

They're so manly.

I have a new LOVE for Mother's Day!

Being a mother has made me appreciate my own mother so much more. I never realized the sacrifices that she made for me and my siblings. She is a loving and very giving woman. She doesn't always share her feelings often but I know she loves me. Thank you Mom for everything!

Petty Party

My husband's family had a big party with his Grandpa Bob and Grandma Medalou Petty and all of their children the day before Mother's Day. It was lots of fun, especially since we never see this side of his family. I had either met once or never met most of them. Here are a few pictures from that day. After the party Will's siblings and parents sat around the fire and had our own Mother's Day gathering. It was a beautiful day!

Gil and Sammi were flirting with each other...hopefully one day they'll realize that they're cousins.

They were having lots of fun...can you tell?

Sammi!

Me and my soon to be sister Kimmie!
