solid food here we come...


Ollie had his first solid food experience. It didn't start out so well. 
He certainly didn't seem happy anyway...


But he ended up enjoying it...


He's getting bigger by the minute it seems and its sad 
and exciting all at the same time.

7 peaks shower


Annie and Maycie HATE water in their faces. So you can imagine my surprise 
when I saw this while we were at 7 Peaks...


 There was no crying involved they were just enjoying the water for a change.Photobucket

bridal veil

We love to go up the canyon and walk around at Bridal Veil Falls. 
Annie was more adventurous than I thought she would've been. 
She took her shoes off and went in the water and climbed on the rocks...


Along with her friend Carter...


The kids loved watching all of the fish swimming and they 
really enjoyed feeding them...


Its so fun to watch my kids enjoy being outside.

6 months old


Its so crazy to think that Ollie is 6 months. He is such a sweetie! 


He can roll from his back to his front. He likes to suck 4 of his fingers at a time.


He got his first tooth. He's started to say lots of sounds like baba, dada, and lala.


He started holding his bottle by himself. He got his 2nd tooth.


 And today he started clapping his hands. So many milestones. I love it!


My boy loves to eat his toes...


He was a good sport but was done by the end...


I love you and all your funny faces my sweet boy!

the treehouse

One of our favorite things to do when we visit Grandma Shaw is to go to the Treehouse. This time was no exception. The girls were so excited, as they always are, to see Grandma Shaw. 

Annie and Grandma went and rode horses together...


Ollie read books with Nana...


Annie found where we live on the state map...


Then the girls milked the cow...


They have a teepee...


I tried really hard to get them to come in with me and had no luck so 
I got warm by the fire by myself...


They had a lesson in the schoolhouse...


Had some sushi in the China house...


They went fishing somewhere else...


And finally we went on a ride on a fire truck...
 

And found grandma hiding in the back...


Thanks for another fun day out Grandma!!

picnic in the canyon


One of our favorite things to do in the summer is to have 
picnics in the canyon...


The girls love to climb up the dirt...


And Ollie loves to lay on the blanket...


The girls favorite part is always throwing rocks in the river with daddy...


As the weather get a little cooler it gets more 
fun to spent our evenings up the canyon!

the zoo


We went to the Hogle Zoo with a few of our best friends, Rhiannon, Reed, and Taryn. 
It was so much fun and really hot.


They watched the monkeys...


Elephants are one of our favorite things to see when we go to the zoo...


While the big kids watched the elephants Ollie played with his giraffe...


Ollie was just happy to sit and play...


The baby elephant came out as we were about to walk away...


The rhinos didn't look real...


They loved the bright colors of the birds...


It was fun to see the bears playing in the river...


They were excited to see the tigers...


They love the giraffes...


When you go to the zoo you have to stop and take a picture and
see if you are as tall as an ape...


And we ended our day with a ride on the train. Scarier than you would think,
there were buffalo's with their heads through the wires in the fence, 
and Annie who was on the edge didn't really enjoy it after that.
