Andie's favorite toy!

THE JUMPEROO!
We were feeling sad for Andilyn when we went to visit family this past trip and noticed how many toys our nieces and nephews have. We haven't really gotten Andie much because she is so easily entertained with anything. For instance, some of her favorite things are her shoes, my elastic workout band, Ryan's PS3 paddle, etc.., etc... So we decided it was high time she got introduced to traditional infant toys, hence the Jumperoo. She has LOVED it! It has been so much fun to watch her face change with excitement and to hear the little squeals come out. Our favorite thing she has been doing lately is when she gets really excited she looks up toward the ceiling and opens her mouth and squeals. We can't help but laugh everytime. Hopefully the video is clear enough that you will notice it. Enjoy!

Andilyn learning how to spit.

So this last week I went to the store and when I came home my precious sweet little girl had learned a new trick from her Dad. Needless to say, this new trick is now the favorite thing to do whenever anything enters her mouth. I am loving the new accessory of baby food on my clothes. It is quite fashionable. I have tried to not react when she spits, but that almost makes her do it more. Oh well, Dads have to have their fun right?

Summer 2010

Andie with Great Grandma Mary. It was so great to see all of the family and especially to see my Grandma. She has been having some struggles with her health and we enjoy spending time with her when we can. She is the most amazing woman, I love her and look up to her so much. We named Andilyn after her, and hope that one day she will realize the legacy that she was named after. She is the most charitable and loving person I know, and I just love sitting with her and holding her hand. We love you Grandma!

Here we are with Grandpa and Grandma Cox. We sure love them and are so glad we were able to spend some time with them this past trip. We had so much fun up at the range and over at their home to visit. It is so neat to spend time with them and catch up. We feel so blessed to have such wonderful Grandparents and wonderful families. We love you all!

Here are my two great friends and their cute kids from my nursing program at BYU-Idaho Camille and Steph. We got together while we were up in Idaho and had fun talking about good old times. I can't believe it has already been 5 years since we graduated. It makes me feel so old.

We have had a great summer, I can't believe it is almost gone. The good thing about living in Albuquerque is it still feels like summer, so we are yet to feel it is over. We had so many fun memories this summer visiting family and friends. Thanks to everyone for making it so great!

Andie and Evy having a great time in Texas together. We had such a fun trip with the Collings! Sadie, Jared and Evy invited us to go with them to Texas to see all of the places Sadie grew up. We went to Lake Tanglewood first to visit Sadie's Dad Charlie and Stepmom Patti. They showed us a great time. We went boating, to see the play TEXAS in Palo Duro Canyon, visited Sadie's Grandparents Marie and Vade at the farm, and had LOTS of good food and great company.

4th of July. For the 4th my parents rented a condo up in Midway for the week and we had so much fun hanging out together playing games, boating at Jordanelle, shopping, and of course lighting off fireworks! Thanks Mom and Dad for such a great time!
