Zoo, Rainbows and Thomas the Train

    Well we got a new camera!  So be ready for lot of pictures!  :)  I love cameras!
   This weeek was a good one, we did lots of fun stuff!

 Dawson and I were able to go to the zoo for the third time on Tuesday!  This was my favorite time so far.  Laura, Rachael and Piper came too!  We had fun just walking around and letting Piper and Rachael lead the way.  Dawson loved the animals this time.  Here is my favorite picture of the day!  So cute.....
   Dawson and the sea otter are the same size!

 Rachael and Piper and best friends, they were really cute together.

 The gorilla was my favorite, so big!

 Dawson was sooo good the whole time.  He had a blast.

We had a good time at the zoo!

Dawson got a new toy.....

A toy tent Thomas the Train!

He likes it,

So does Daddy

                                                        Boo Dawson!  He likes crawling in and out.

Another thing big this week is that......My baby walks now!

Yes it is true.  He started just this week! 

He puts his arms up in the air when he walks, so cute.

 We had fun one afternoon playing outside with the tunnel!  He thinks it's funny when I go inside of it.

 He also loves our rasberries!  Yummy mommy

Love these little legs on our morning runs.

 Mommy's jogging buddy.

 This is my favorite spot.  The trees are so pretty

The other day Dawson and I went outside and saw this!  It was the most beautiful rainbow I have ever seen.

It was so dark too, and a double one!

This earth is so beautiful.

Have a good week!

August Random Post

    My camera broke!  I'm sad about it, it wasn't even that old! Actually not old at all!  Like not even five months old!  Jesse and I need to get to the store and see if they can give us a new one or something!  I'm going crazy not being able to take pictures of Dawson.  Anyways....
    These past two weeks we haven't been up to much.  Dawson and I went up to Logan with Laura and her kids this past Sunday through Monday and that was a lot of fun.  We just went to RaNae's house and hung out with her and her kids.  We ate yummy food and stayed up late (well I tried to stay up late, but ended up knocked out at about11)  We had a good time.

 These are a while ago, but as I told you I don't have any recent ones because of my camera!  These are cute though. I love my boys

Jesse loves helping with bath time.  He is good at giving him a bath.  So cute.
Here is an update of Dawson at age one!
    He is 19 pounds (10th percentile)
    He is 18 1/2 "  (20th percentile)
    He has seven teeth!  (five on top and two on bottom)
    His top teeth have a big gap in the middle.  :)  so cute
    He is close to walking, but not yet!
    He can stand without holding onto anything
    He loves to pull hair
    He crawls really fast
    He loves other kids and babies
    He loves to share his food with everyone
    He does a cute little duck face all the time
    He naps really well
    He is still a very snuggly baby, loves hugs!
    He is jabering more and more
    He loves food!
    He sleeps from 8p.m. till 6:30 a.m.
    He is such a happy boy!  We love him!

Cute bum.  This is how he usually sleeps
I know this was a random post, but I want to remember what my baby was like at one year old!

Havasupai

    We just got back from Havasupai and it was amazing!  It is sooo pretty there!  It was me, Jesse, Chuck, Lori, Melanie, Jake, Jacob, Jennica, and Brad!  It was so much fun and I'm so glad that we did it!
   We hiked in on Thursday morning at like 4:30.  It was a long hike down, about six hours to go ten miles.

 Melanie and Jake hiking

 Jacob and Jesse

 JEsse and I

 As you can see it was dark when we started!

When we got to camp we set up our tents and than went and played in the Havasu waterfall, so pretty!

Boys

Than we went back to camp and took a nice long nap!  Everyone was very tired.  When we woke up Jesse, Brad, Jake and I went and hiked to Mooney falls.....Can you see Jesse and I?  We are tiny!

This waterfall was bigger and oh sooo pretty!

 The next day we hiked all the way down.  The hike down was kind of scary in some parts!

 Descend at own risk!

We had to go in a cave for a little bit of it

We had so much fun just playing in the water and swimming.  We would find areas where it was deep enough and jump in.

 I love this picture.

It was such a good trip!  We had a blast!  I'm so glad I was able to spend so much time with my fam

Dawson

   My sweet baby Dawson,
        I can't believe you are one!  This past year has flown by!  I feel like it was just yesterday that I held you in my arms for the first time and looked at you and couldn't believe that you were finally here!  I dreamed you here when I was just a little girl and I'm so blessed to have you as my little boy.  I love you sooo much I can't even explain in words how strong my love for you is.  I love the way you laugh, give hugs to everyone, snuggle with me, smile with your eyes, reach for me and give me slobery kisses.  You will always be my sweet little boy.  You are just like your Daddy, you are such a happy baby and love life. Your Dad and I love you so much!  You are such a joy to us everyday!

Love this smile!  Hope you have a wonderful 1st birthday!

You were so tiny!  Getting bigger and bigger everyday!

Love you more and more everyday kiddo.
