Aug/Sept 2011

Lily made a bed on the floor for all of her dolly's and then decided to lay down with them. Pretending to have a nap.
Matt is teaching her how to kiss her muscles.
Cute Matt. That's not drool on his shirt. We were celebrating the 24th of July (Pioneer Day) at the park and it was REALLY hot. So, we went to the drinking fountains and drenched Matt's shirt and Lily's hat with water to cool them off. It was a fun family day.
Matt is tickling Lily's leg here. Very cute! They play so well together.

Matt's dad's uncle has a fishing boat and took Matt and his brother Zack on a fishing trip in August. Here is one of the fish Matt caught. He cleaned it, brought it home and I helped him fry it up to eat. What a good kid!
Lily and Tayson (Josh's little boy, 2 months younger than Lily exactly) eating popsicles.
Tayson loves his food! Here is his ice cream all over his face, belly and hands. We just hosed him off afterwards!

Tayson and Lily enjoying the water at Nannie and Bompie's house.
We went to see the floats before the Pioneer Day parade. They have it set up inside a building with air conditioning, so we went to this instead of the parade. Plus, the kids can touch the floats and stuff. Very fun.

Lily putting on her own headband. Scary.

Matt climbing the rock wall at the pioneer day festival. He got to the top so quick, they let him do it a second time for free. Good job, Matt!

September 2011




Jason and I were able to go to Torrey, Utah earlier this month. Jason is in a band that played a concert there. It is right next to Capital Reef National Park. Here are some of the sites. The mountains were beautiful!! The band paid for our cabin to stay in, too. It was so peaceful. Matt was at his dad's and Lily stayed with Nannie and Bompie (my parents) for the weekend. Wow. We really want to go back there!

Here is Lily posing for the camera. We did her hair all girly (moussed it, diffused it, french twisted the top....). She was really excited to have me take her picture.

Here is Lily's new bed. Our neighbors got a new bed for their daughter, and gave us this one. It's a captain twin bed (with the drawers underneath). For now, we just have her crib mattress on it, but she LOVES it. It happened to come our way the same weekend we were potty training, so we told her it was her present for being such a big girl. My brother, Nate, had the princess twin sheets set for his daughter, but didn't need them anymore, so he gave them to us. When Nannie put them on her bed, she ran up to the comforter and looked at the Disney Princesses and said, "My friends!" How cute.
This is what Lily looks like when she dresses herself. She chose the outfit and put it on. Then she wanted to go for a walk around the block, so we got to show off her matching skills.
Daddy and Lily. She is starting to cuddle quite a bit. We love it.
We had a family reunion again this year with Dad's family. His brothers, sisters and their kids. This is the fun reunion, because it's all of the cousins I grew up with. The picture above is Lily and 2 of my cousins girls. She had a great time! Matt was there, but too busy with a friend that he brought to get his picture taken. I'll get more of him soon.
Here is Bompie and Lily playing at the family reunion. There is a little stream at the park, and Lily was throwing rocks in and just checking it out with good ol' patient grandpa!
