July 2013

 

 

We started out the month with getting haircuts.  Some liked them more than others...

 

 

See??? :(  Poor little guy!!

 

 

Madi didn't like it very much either...

 

 

But my cousin Alisha did a great job, despite the little cooperation!

 

 

I finally did it!!  I cut my hair!  I swore up and down, that I would never do the short mom hair cut, that quite a few women do after having a baby.  But when you have practically 2 babies, you don't have an hour to do your hair each day!  I am still getting used to it being this short, but it is much cooler and faster to do!

 

 

I just can't get enough of how cute this boy is!!!

 

 

Love this man!! 

 

 

We have been able to go to Trafalga (another perk to the Pass of all Passes).  We attempted to play mini golf.  I was pushing the stroller with Lucas, and Mike was trying, (keyword, TRYING to help Madi...)

 

 

After she hit the ball, she went running to go get it! :)

 

 

 We were able to go to Mike's sisters house for the annual Robbins 4th of July BBQ.  It was so much fun!

 

 

Here is Lucas in his cute 4th of July outfit.  The kid is obviously teething, because he always has his hand in his mouth!

 

 

We are so eternally grateful for all the liberties that we enjoy.  We are grateful to those who have served, and those who do currently serve, for us!!

 

 

We were also able to attempt a camping trip this summer with our cousins.  It was only overnight, but it was miserable!!  Let's just say, that we were "That" family... The one with the crying kids.  Finally at 2:00 am, we all ended up in the car, where we put a movie on for Madi to get her to fall asleep.  Mike and I pretended to sleep, but really, how much sleep could we possibly get in a car?  :)  Needless to say, we were up before those who were going fishing... It was a very long night.  We realized why those with young kids don't go camping... :)  Oh well.  Maybe when they are a bit older. :)

 

We were still able to go down to Payson Lakes and spend some time with the Smiths.  Here is Madi, cuddling with Nate on his lap.  It was one of the few times she was actually sitting.  The angels were definitely watching over her.  She fell into the fire pit once.  Luckily, we didn't have a fire started.  She was covered in ash, and it scared her quite a bit.  Did it stop her from wondering still? No.  But we were so extremely grateful that we hadn't started a fire.

 

 

Needless to say, Madi was FILTHY when we headed home.  This is after she took off her sandals in the car... Her sandals still haven't come all the way clean! :)

 

 

This was one of those times when Lucas was super happy!  So cute!

 

 

Madi loves to climb in Lucas' car seat.  Granted, it was once hers, but not anymore! :)

 

 

I was just playing with Lucas... :)

 

 

Look at that adorable smile!  :)  I just can't take enough pictures of him smiling.

 

 

We were able to go to the American Fork Parade.  It was tons of fun!  The only bad part was that Lucas DID NOT like the police/fire truck sirens.  He cried and cried!!  Poor little guy!

 

July flew by, and we can't even believe how fast the summer is going! We have loved all the family time, and hope all is well with our family and friends.

 

 



June 2013

 

 

We have had lots of fun being outside!  Here is Lucas chillin' as I pull weeds.

 

 

Madi was also enjoying being outside.  Here, she was being a little artist. :)

 

 

I thought this was a funny pic.  Lucas was still asleep in his car seat when we got home one day, so I left him in it.  I knew when he woke up, because I kept seeing his feet flying!  Too funny!

 

 

For anyone who knows Madi, she NEVER stops!  She has so much energy!!  Well, we had to snap proof that she had fallen asleep during our morning walk.  Crazy!

 

 

In this picture, she had pulled tons on things off the shelves, and was "swimming" through it!  I can't even tell you how many times I pick up her toys...

 

 

In June, we were honored to have my "Bronx Mom" Andrise come spend the day with us.  We went to the Springville parade, and then had a BBQ/swimming  at Mike's parents house.  It was tons of fun!  We loved seeing Andrise, and can't wait until we can go visit her in NYC! ;)

 

 

This was at the BBQ/swimming party.  Mike was trying to get Madi to drink out of the hose.  She just wasn't getting it (or wanting to).

 

 

One of Madi's favorite things to do is wear Daddy's shoes!

 

 

This kid is just too cool! ;)

 

 

I think it's adorable when I find them sleeping at the same time! :)  Awwww.... :)

 

 

We were able to get the Pass of all Passes this year.  We have loved going to Seven Peaks (a water park) on Mikes' days off.  This has been one way to semi-contain Madi.  She is figuring out how to climb out of the tube though.  She is way too smart for her own good!

 

 

Here is another time that they had both fallen asleep during our walk.  We had decided to take the single stroller, and Lucas started out in the carrier.  But once he fell asleep, we figured Madi wouldn't mind sharing a seat.  :)  I promise this is a rare occurrence for them to fall asleep on our walks! :)

 

 

 

I think this picture was the first time that I realized that they are really starting to look alike!  How fun!

 

We had a great month of June!!  Hope all is well for our family and friends!
