New Family Pictures

Prepare for picture overload...and thanks are due again to Kim Henrie Photography! You're the best.

Another first...

Jenna got the chance to color for the first time today. We've tried a couple of times in the past when we were at restaurants but she always ended up eating the crayons. I thought we would give it one more shot today and we have VICTORY. No eating of the crayons and loved the coloring. She was very focused and primarily used her left hand. It should be interesting to see if she remains a lefty as she grows. It was pretty cute watching her become so enthralled with it. Love that kid of mine. 

A Puppet and a Horse

Jenna and I joined the Kearls for a puppet show at the local library. There were a lot of children in a smaller space. And though it was overwhelming the kids all seemed to have a great time. With the bubble machine being the high light. 

I don't think the puppeteers had anticipated quite so many kids.  

The mad chase for bubbles. Jenna was totally overwhelmed!

B and A enjoying the funny! 

Dancing and singing and shaking out the jitters! 

For the most part Jenna stayed close by my side. Too much stimulation with that many kids. 

After the puppet show we walked across the park to the new carousel the city just installed. Jenna was a little apprehensive but a good time nonetheless. She just loves the Kearl kids (and Heather too...and so do I).  

How cute is Boom Boom holding Heather's hand? Love. 

Lorrie & Tyree's Birthday

We went to Draper this weekend to celebrate Casey's mom & cousin's birthdays. We had a yummy bbq, followed by some swimming in Grandma Lor's community pool. Jenna sure loves her Grandma and it was nice for them to be able to get some time together. 

 She had a great time swimming with Uncle Matthew, Grandma Lor, and Tyree's daughter, Bayleigh. 

Swim Lessons

Jenna and I had such a good time in our mom and tot swim lessons. We went every day for two weeks and it was incredible to watch her get more and more comfortable each day. She would not put her face into the water when we first started but by the end of the two weeks she was blowing bubbles and going underwater. Her favorite part was when we stand on the side and throw a bath toy in and the jump in to get it. 

Wordless Wednesday

The End of an Era

I flew down for the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. My sister Sara and I have officially seen every single Harry Potter movie on opening night. I'll miss this. They haven't always to been easy to get to, this one included. By time I finally got a flight in, rented a car, drove to Mission Valley, I literally sat down to the start of the movie. Loved the movie, love my sister, love this tradition!
