Friends

My friends Melinda and Jen put together a little lunch this afternoon. They are going on a fun family vacation to Lake Powell so I won't see them again before we move to Laramie. It's a little sad to start saying goodbye to friends, but mostly I'm thankful to have met such great friends here!

More Gymnastics

I signed Milan up for another session of gymnastics, which she loves! She is getting brave which is great for learning gymnastics, but she is losing her fear of the teacher and getting a little wild while waiting for her turn. Good thing she is pretty cute with her ballerina dress-up and new tricks!

Sisters

Lately, I've been asked if the girls resemble each other. I found a picture of Milan at 11 months to post above Eden's recent picture from the parade. What do you think?


I think they have different eye shapes and different noses, but definitely look like sisters. It'll be fun to see what resemblences they have as they get older.

11 Months!

I honestly can't believe that Eden is 11 months old, which is so close to 1 year old! Crazy!






















Here's some tidbits about our cute little Eden:
- She's getting very interested in crawling....she goes from sitting to a crawling position and rocks back and forth a little. Her dang foot keeps getting in the way though.
- She is learning to pull herself up to her knees, but for some reason only wants to practice this skill in the bath tub.
- She loves to eat, but she is not interested in baby food or food that is cut up. She wants to use her two little bottom teeth and eat food just like us.
- She's learned to cry when Milan takes her toys.
- She loves to go through drawers and cupboards. She can't get to them on her own yet, which is very nice!
- When we pick Eden up, she gives us hugs and pats us on the back. Dave and I both love her little hugs!

Friends + Candy = Happy Girls

Last Saturday we headed downtown for another fun Wyoming Parade ...princesses, friends, candy, little shriner guys in mini cars ....what more could little girls ask for!?!



Eden was getting a little tired at this point, but we won her over with a sucker (Parenting at it's finest :).

Reunion :)

My good friend from high school, Melanee, came to Salt Lake this week. The girls and I were excited to meet up with Mel and her boys on Monday.

Here we are. I hadn't seen Melanee for 5 years but it didn't seem like it had been that long at all. We had a great time catching up and I'm so glad we were able to get together.


We took all the kids to Discovery Gateway. It was our first time there and I thought it was really neat. Milan's favorite thing was the miniature grocery store with fake food and a little cash register.










On Tuesday, we headed to Liberty Park and had a great time playing in the pool. Here's Milan sitting next to Mel and chatting away. (Milan is really into asking a lot of questions these days.) She also tried to impress Mel's boys with her sweet dance moves, but they weren't super interested :).

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Scott

Last week, we had a fun visit from Grandma and Grandpa Scott. In true redneck fashion, they parked their camper in our apartment parking lot since we just don't exactly have a guest bedroom these days. They were good sports about it and the kids had a great time being showered with attention (I didn't have to change a diaper for an entire week!)

Here's Milan the stylist working on grandma's hair.

Grandma even let her take it to the next level and use water.
