July has been a good month, and it is going by too fast.
We had a great 4th. Daniel’s mom was in town and we were able to spend time with her and Grandma Faye. Here are Lucy and Whit in their cute 4th of July outfits.

June went by so fast. We moved into our new apartment the weekend of labor day and have enjoyed living here. We have gone swimming a lot, which Lucy loves. She loves going “wimming” and always wants to put on her “wim soup” (swim suit). She has no fear of the water, which makes it a little scary for us, but we got her a tube and she does pretty good in the water.
Whitney is changing and growing everyday. She can now sit up, army crawl, and roll all over. She is full of smiles and she smile with her whole body (her legs curl up and she will turn her head in this shy little way). It is super cute and melts my heart.
Daniel turned 30 on the 23rd. I am so grateful for him and all he does for our family. He is such a good dad and all of his girls love him!!
Lucy’s hair is getting so long. I was able to get these cute little braids in it. It is always in her face though, if I don’t do it, so I am debating on whether to cut it short again or not. Lucy has been paying more attention to Whitney and it is so cute. She gives her hugs and kisses. Lucy is starting to get sassy, but she is such a stinking cute little girl, it is hard to be mad for long. She has started to say “thank you so much” and “love you so much” and it is so cute.
Daniel’s mom came to visit the weekend after Daniel’s birthday. It was so much fun to have her and we ended up going to Liberty park and riding the rides and walking around. It was to be out in the sun and Lucy had a fun time.
We also went to a party at my mom’s with dad’s family. My cousin is moving, so my mom had everyone over for a bbq. It was fun to see everyone and get all the great grandkids together.
This is 6 out of 12.
Lucy and Kaitlynn had a fun time playing together. They are only a couple of weeks apart in age.
We move to an apartment in Cottownwood Heights about a week ago. Moving is never fun, but we are excited to get settled in our new place. Lucy like swimming, and we have already been twice. Here are a couple of cute pictures from the last little bit.
Helping Grandma Lu make brownies…YUM
Whitney has started eating baby food and loves to eat her veggies (and her high chair)!

Baby Matthew got blessed today, and it was such a nice blessing. Here are the SL grandkids all together
We had a great Easter. First, we celebrated a week early with my mom because she was going out of town. Lucy quickly got the hang of finding eggs and loved all the candy inside.

We spent Easter weekend in Vernal with Daniel’s family and Lucy got to do 3 more Easter egg hunts. The first was at a park on Saturday morning. She had a fun time picking up all the candy, even though it was a little cold.

Lucy had a fun time playing on the little play 4-wheeler
Saturday night we went to Shelly’s in-laws for another hunt and dinner. Lucy had a blast searching for eggs with Grandma in the field. After, she got to play on the swings with Tes and Dayson.
Sunday morning the kids woke up to Easter baskets and then searched the house for more eggs. It was a lot of fun to be there with the kids and playing with them. It was a great weekend and Lucy got spoiled with so much candy.
This morning, I heard Lucy talking in bed. I went in to check on her and she had a couple of books in bed with her. I got Whitney up and we played in Lucy’s bed for awhile. I love morning like that and I LOVE my girls. They are so much fun and I can’t imagine that I ever lived without them.
Here are some other random pics of the girls.

Poor Whitney has hardly made it on this blog, but we sure love her. Her smiles are the cutest little things and she has such bright eyes. Her hair is starting to grow in and definitely has some red in it. She is growing fast and at her last appt she weighed 13 lbs and was 24 inches long. She now rolls both ways although she still does not like being on her tummy. Although she will sometimes take a binky, she has found her thumb and likes to chew on it. She squeals and coohs and makes our lives so happy. I can’t believe ho much she has changed in the last five months. The time has gone too fast.
