Siri's party recap

I know its been over a month ago since we had Siri's first party but I finally got some pictures downloaded and wanted to share them. I forgot how much fun it was to get together with all the cousins.  It was fun to watch her eat her first bite of cake. She wasn't sure she liked it and then pretty soon she caught on that cake was good. We had lots of pink and blue candy to keep all the older cousins entertained along with bubbles. In which Madison had the brilliant idea of having the ac outside blow the bubble for them. Such a smartie she is. I think the best gift of the day was her little tykes car. She loves it and spends lots of time in it still. And the scariest present would be Dave's.  Bless Dave's heart he did pick out a darling thoughtful gift its just that Siri is scared of the blow up panda bear. So we are saving it for when she is a little older.  

 How many men does it take to put together a little tykes car?

After all was said and done, I think it was a lovely evening. Although Kelli Jo, Zoey and Ava were dearly missed we are excited to share Siri's special day with baby Beckham.

We hope it will always be an exciting special day for the both of them.

the last weekend.

 Our last weekend before school starts we decided to make the best of it.

This semester will hopefully be our last semester at the Y.

We are very excited to see what the future holds for our little family.

Before we buckle down for this last little while we had a great weekend.

We went up the canyon for a hot dog and marshmallow roast with a little long boarding accompanied by the Villas.

Played at the splash pad and enjoyed visiting with my dad while he was in town. 

And its offical Ms. Sage just lives around the corner and is headed to school near by. 

We celebrated today by having both Sage and Ms. Joshlyn over for a home cooked Sunday dinner. Ready to start school on Monday. 

Here is to a great semester.

skim boarding.

While we were in Kanab for FHE we decided to venture down to the creek and skim board.

We even got my dad to try. 

I forget how much I love it down there. 

I spent lots of summer nights down there playing volleyball, skim boarding, and 

just plain adventuring. 

I'm so glad I get to take my kids down there.

Siri loved it. 

She is definitely a water girl.

She just wanted to go on her own.

She is such a dare devil sometimes. She would just wander and sometimes face plant and get right back up and keep going. 

 We just need to remember to go down there more often when we are in town. 

5 and 1

I finally had pictures taken of my children. 

The last time I had professional pictures taken  of Chamberlain was like at 6 months.

I loved how they turned out and its hard not to post all of them. 

So I will only post some of them.

I just wanted to remember what they looked like at these ages. 

It seems that life is flying bye and I want to freeze them at this age for just a bit more.

I want to remember exactly how they are. 

I just love each day I get to spend with them. 

It amazes me how much personality Siri has and displays for us.

The entire morning she did not want to smile much. She just stared and wanted to be held and then wanted her bottle. 

Chamberlain on the other hand hammed it up for us. He was such a good sport and because he was so great he got his long awaited bow and arrow from the cave. 

The above photo was not stages. This is how he stood against the wall and told Michelle about his upcoming birthday and how he wants it to be a Mario Brothers party. 

Thanks so much Michelle for taking these on such short notice. 
I loved how they turned out!
