Change

First I have to post some pictures. Aleah is changing DAILY. I can't believe it. She is my Balding Beauty. She is losing her beautiful hair in handfuls. It makes me so sad. I just hope it grows back. she is such a sweetheart. She will try to talk to anyone who gives her the time of day and will grin until she looks like she will burst. She is drooling like a champ and can't keep her hands out of her mouth. She is very close to rolling over both ways but has yet to do it.

Ethan had several birthday parties this year. This one was at Lucky Peak at the beach. He loves the water and loves the sand even more. We had a fun time.

This was the best I could do as a cake goes. It was 104 degrees so I thought this was easy and wouldn't melt. Who doesn't like Rice Krispies.

Now for the change.

Evan is changing his career path. He will start training on Monday to become an insurance agent. He will be in SLC for 7 weeks, off and on. We both are excited about this opportunity and I think Evan will do really well with it. We also because we are losing a car do to the job change are getting a new car this weekend. I am excited but also just wanting something a little more reliable. Aleah is 4 months, Ethan is 3 Years. Evan is leaving, New job, New car, New phones. I just feel like everything around me is changing, but I know it is all good. Oh one more change.... We will not have Internet. So I will not be blogging anymore for a while.

Happy Birthday Ethan

Ethan's Blessing Day I cannot believe my Ethan is 3! It seems like he was born just yesterday. I never knew I could love Ethan as much as I do. He is the sweetest boy. He loves his baby sister and is a big helper. He is so quick to be concerned if she is crying and just wants to make her happy. He also has so much fun with kids. He will stop playing on the play equipment at the park just so he can watch the other kids play. He is such the little observer. He is such a good boy we are very lucky to have him. I feel very blessed to be his mom. Ethan's First Christmas :5 months

Happy Birthday Ethan! We love you SO much!

The Fourth

For the Fourth we had a real "Barn Raising." Evan has been working on this shed for a little while and on the fourth his brothers offered to help. It was so nice to have them and there families over. We had a yummy barbecue with shishkabobs. They built almost an entire shed. All that is left is the door and the roof. Thanks to them and there families for all the help. Later we went to Ann Morrison Park for fireworks. We dropped Aleah off at Evans parents house, which was really nice not to have to worry about her. Ethan loved the fireworks. He would have done the pop it fireworks all night long. We tried sparklers and it kind of freaked him out and we also got in trouble by the "firework control" people. We had a good 4th and hope you all did as well.

Under Attack While Camping

This last week we went camping up at Lucky Peak with some friends of ours. We had such a good time, but there were a few things that made our trip a little crazy. Here is a list of things we were attacked by: 1-Red Ants, (they were all over) 2- Crows, that decided to freak out at 5 am only to find out that a Raccoon had chased them away.... anyone who knows my husband knows that he was not a happy camper, he HATES crows. Evan was throwing rocks at those stupid birds all morning trying to get them to be quiet so some of us could get some sleep, my hero. 3-earwigs, this was my least favorite. They were all over by our tents, you would open the tent and 20 of them would fall right in. I would rather see a spider any day than an earwig. 4-Sprinklers... I know crazy right. We had camp all set up and then some ranger guy, we named him JEAN, comes over in the morning and tells us to move because he has to irrigate ALL DAY! We moved all our gear on the boating dock, and our tents across the way onto a hill...we decided it wasn't all that bad. We could just go out on the boat until they were off... well JEAN said he would be back at 2 to turn them off for us. Then 4 o'clock came around and still no JEAN his boat wasn't working and we were left with sprinklers on, luckily I have a hubby who is brave enough to go and do it himself. Over all we had a really fun and adventurous trip. Our friends made it so much fun, we really enjoy there company. When we weren't tubing or skiing we were eating good snacks, playing bachi ball, and just relaxing. I was so proud of Evan for trying the air chair. It looked really hard, I wasn't about to try it. He also got up on one ski and hasn't been in 13 years! He did awesome! Ethan would have been content on the beach all day, but he loved the boat too. He Even went tubing. While we were there Aleah turned 3 months. I can't believe it. She was such a trooper camping. I couldn't ask for a better baby. Thanks Troy and Katie for a great time.
