Pine Valley

Back in July we spent a couple of days up in Pine Valley with the Harris family. We had a great time! We spent time going for a walk, playing on a zip line, eating, swimming, riding the horse and playing games. It was Tip's birthday while we were there and it was fun for him to spend it with his family. Poor Rav did spend the first night up screaming so we ran him back into town the next day to the doctor and he ended up having a double ear infection and a ruptured ear drum. He was still a pretty happy guy regardless. It rained most of the time and it was welcome break from the heat. It was a great little trip!

 In true Grandma Dina fashion, she had a scavenger hunt for the kids. Lexi loved it!

We were all pretty exhausted after it all. No one more then Lexi, who stayed up way past her bedtime every night and had no nap. On the last day she climbed up and snuggled into Grandpa Gary and they both took a little snooze!

Rav 4 months

This baby is seriously amazing! He is such a happy guy. He will smile at anyone! It doesn't take much to get him to flash his biggest grin. We get stopped at store often because he flirts with everyone! He has completely stolen my heart!

(side note: Rav's head is the same size Lexi's was at 1! haha no wonder he is still a little bobble head!)

His smile melts my heart and his pouty lip breaks it. He gets more fun every day. Lexi loves her brother. She always makes sure he is there and has to know where he is at all times. She is very protective of him. I can't wait to see these two play. I am very blessed to be their mother!

Bandaid Buddies!

Tip hurt his finger at work one day and had a bandaid on and of course Lexi wanted one too! Tip said they were bandaid buddies and she loved that! For a week everyday she wanted to be bandaid buddies with him! She sure loves her daddy!

4th of July!!!!

We had the best 4th of July this year! We had dinner with our good friends the Broadhead's and the Griffiths. Clint and his dad smoked us the most AMAZING ribs and pulled pork. It was so delish! We had a TON of food and we enjoyed it all! The kids had a blast playing outside. We then headed up to the old air port to enjoy the city fireworks. Tip and Clint put Tips truck up there early so we had prime seating! The fireworks were awesome and some of them were right above us. Lexi loved and hated them. She didn't like the close ones and would say, "Mom those scare me" But by the end she was cheering. Rav amazingly slept through all of them! It was so, so fun! It was relaxing and entertaining! Best kind of holiday!

Rav can Roll

Rav first started rolling over during his "screaming" weeks. Although it wasn't on purpose it was more from being ticked, so we didn't count it. He has since rolled on his own happy. He was really consistent for several weeks in June then he quit. He really likes being on his tummy so he is never super eager to get off. He is trying to roll from his back to tummy. He gets up on his side and then just gets stuck. Lexi never rolled over until she was 8 months old so it will be different to have a roller. Its amazing how different two kids can be. I sure love this little guy!
