My Girl...

I decided that since I did an all Nathan post, that I should do an all Audrey post. She's a little more helpful when I try to take pictures, but only a little. These were taken at the park on Father's Day (I know, it's Father's Day and I'm taking pics of my kids. Just can't help myself).

Here's my girl...

She has so much fun when we go to the park. She especially loves the big twisty slide and the swings.

Boy oh Boy!!

A couple weeks ago, before Nathan had his hair cut, he decided to see what it'd be like with a mohawk. So he gave himself one, straight out of the bath before it dried. The first one shows it pretty good.

Here are the many faces of Nathan...what a boy!

He sure is a nut! These are the kind of pictures I get these days of him...if he'll let me get any. Can't get him to give me a straight face for nothing.

OK, I'll do it...

I figure it's probably time for an update and I've got some catching up to do seeing as how it was a month ago since the last post. I won't be overloading you all at once, so keep an eye out.

The weekend of Audrey's birthday, we also had family in town to help us with putting a new roof on our house. (More info on that to come.) My brother Evon and his family came to help out and we had a GREAT weekend with them. On Sunday, before church, we decided to head down to temple square for a little bit. Here's a little of our time down there. We also went on a tour of the Conference Center and we were able to go all the way to the rooftop, which was really cool and beautiful.

The beautiful temple (please ignore the big crane in the background.)

Daddy and Audrey, up on the Conference Center roof.

Nathan looking out over to the temple. And of course you can't go visit the temple without your Bumblebee Transformer. Nathan didn't want to cooperate with the picture taking, so I didn't get many with him.

Nathan and Audrey by the fountain. I wanted to get a good one with both of them looking at me...but no such luck. Oh well, still cute!

My brother and his family...

and our family...

Here's Nathan with his cousins. They are his "best friends".

And with his Aunt Angela, she's his "buddy".

And lastly...some of the pretty flowers we saw on our visit.

It's a Pink Poodle Party!!!

We celebrated Audrey's 2nd Birthday this last Saturday. She turned 2 on May 28th. For her birthday I had originally wanted to do a princess party, but when I saw instructions for a pink poodle cake I knew that's what I'd do since she LOVES animals. And it turned out pretty cute too.

The birthday girl and the man in her life...Daddy.

Although Audrey just turned 2 she's been displaying signs of the Terrible Twos. A couple weeks ago she was upset about something. I tried to console her and it wasn't working so I decided to walk away...well she wasn't having that. She chased me down the hallways and tried to dig her nails into my legs. I guess it was bound to happen with one of my kids since Nathan's tantrums consisted of him laying down on the floor quietly. 

Happy Birthday baby girl!!! 

We LOVE you!!!

Soccer Mom...

It's official. I'm a soccer mom. And I love it!! We decided to let the kids try out different sports and this is the first one for Nathan. He's still not quite sure about it, but he's getting more comfortable with it.

Nathan looks really happy in this one. It was the first day and the only way we could get him out to run was if dad went with him.His team's name is Chaos. One of the parents suggested it saying
"Because that's what it'll be out there."

Audrey wanted to join in. She almost snuck in...she's wearing the right colors!

He played the whole game his third game...only 5 kids showed up so he kinda had too, but he does seem to like it a little better and will stay in the game better.

I love being a soccer mom. Wonder what sport we'll try next...
