Teething

Kash has had his two bottom teeth in for a while now, and now his two top teeth are coming through. His bottom teeth were no problem, I didn't even know he was teething until they were in. But these top ones have been a pain! He has never slept through the night but now he wakes up every hour or two. One thing that he loves are these teething biscuits. He chews on one for hours and is so happy! They make a mess, but it's worth it.

Mrs. Alek Trueblood!

It's finally over! This has been a crazy couple of weeks for everyone apart of this wedding. We can all relax now because everything went really well. Corinne was absolutely beautiful. Even the weather held out for her ceremony which was held in Alek's parents backyard. Ella was the flower girl (I know how scary that sounds) but she did so good! She couldn't quite get the concept of walking AND throwing the petals at the same time, so she just walked. But I was thrilled with that! She had six bridesmaids: her two sisters, Alek's two sisters, and Becky and I. I was SO lucky to have my sister Karlee come down this week to help. I couldn't have done it without her, really. They went to Park City for their honeymoon and then they will move into their new townhouse that they bought here in St. George. Congrats Corinne, LOVE YA.

Bridal Shower

Corinne's bridal shower was the night before the wedding, so all of her family was able to come. She had SO much family come from Minnesota, so that was fun. She got a lot of cute stuff, and if I do say so myself the food was super yummy!

Corinne was so funny because she would NOT hold up any of her cute lingerie...

So her Grandma did it for her!

A DAY AT THE POOL

On Saturday we had some friends come with us to the pool. It was such a nice day, oh how I love St. George! It was the first time we really got Kash in the water and he LOVED it. He would NOT stop kicking his legs, he was so funny. Ella and Kash loved being in their tubes, and Ella wanted to be right next to Kash so she could give him kisses. Matt and Jesse even got a game of chess in (I know what nerds). And you have to check out Cody in his new speedo, he should be a model don't you think? The hot girls laying out are Leah and Becky. I am so glad I have fun friends that don't mind hanging out with an old married couple and their kids!

Bath Fun

Ella and Kash love taking baths together, and this is the fun game Matt came up with. How many letters can we fit on Kash's head? Everyone says he has a big head, but geez give him a break! He didn't seem to mind too much though.

Walker Troubles

Poor little Kash is such a good sport. I found that Ella had climbed into the walker with him and I never heard one complaint from our little guy! All I can say is that he is going to be really tuff having Ella around.

Kite Festival

On Saturday we went to the Kite Festival out in Sun River. By the time we got there it was pretty much dark, but we still had fun. Ella had never really seen a kite before, so she just kept pointing up at them and saying, "WOW." We flew kites for a little while and then Matt decided that Ella just HAD to go on the ferris wheel. I thought she would start freaking out once it started, but our friend Audrey went with her and she was totally fine. By the time we got home both kids had fallen asleep in the car.

Floaties

So I finally put Ella in floaties for the first time. She loved them even though they were HUGE on her! I thought I bought size 2, but when I put them on her I realized they were size 2-12! So her arms stick straight out, she can't really bend them. Hey they keep her afloat, thats all that matters right?

Too Cute

I couldn't resist posting this picture...Ella wants to be able to play with Kash SO bad, but he's just not quite there yet. When he's in his walker she will sit by him and they will "play." I think in the next few months when he can sit up by himself they will really start having fun together.

This is such an Ella thing to do. The 6th picture is of her trying to scare me. She holds on to both sides and leans out as far as she can, and then repeats this motion saying, "Woah...woah..."the whole time. I about have a heart attack every time because this is a long drop! What drives me crazy is the fact that she knows exactly what shes doing. And then there is Kash. Sweet, little, innocent Kash. He sits patiently in his stroller the whole time I am trying to keep Ella alive, never complaining. Talk about total opposites.

Tennis

Last weekend my cousin Jake came into town from Provo for a tennis tournament. He is a senior in high school and really good! I took the kids to cheer him on.

Ella really wanted to play

I tried to keep Kash out of the sun...

Ella giving Jake a big hug, he won!

Kash

Kash is getting so big! It is crazy how fast time goes by. He is already over 6 months old now and over 18 lbs. I think once you have kids you can really see the time go by. I am so thankful for this little boy, he is such a good baby! He is always smiling and has the cutest laugh. He is so good to just sit and entertain himself which is a huge help to me for those of you who know Ella...
He will just sit in his stroller if we go to the park or the pool, and will be content just watching everybody. He is such a blessing in our lives!
