June Pics of Kate

Me, My hands, and My Bumbo!

Kate thinks she is such the big girl sitting up like the rest of us. She loves to sit in her Bumbo and eat her hands. All you hear from another room is "Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum, Yum!!! Slobber, slobber........drool!"

We're going to a party!!

This month, Molly and Gabe went to their first birthday party all by themselves. It was for their cousin Brayden. They were so excited to go and be able to stay without mom and dad. When we went to pick them up, they had had so much fun and they were covered with icecream and cake. They loved their prize bags and carried them around for days afterwards.

Playing with our cousins at the park.

Our cousins James, Trinitie, and Autumn came and spent a day with us. They have been in the process of moving from Fruita, Colorado and Rigby, Idaho. Inbetween trips back and forth, they spent some time with us: Molly, Gabe, Kate, and I. They sure did have fun playing together, especially at the park. James was so sweet with Gabe. Gabe thought he was the neatest thing since peanutbutter and would follow him around everywhere. James dug a hole in the sand at the park and the kids took turns getting burried. When Grandma and Grandpa came to get James, Trin and Auttie, Molly cried so hard, saying "grandma took my friends away." It was so sweet because we don't get to see them very much. I love to see my children bonding with their cousins.

Gabe the trickster

Gabe has been into doing "tricks" lately. He loves to have you watch while he does something silly. He thinks he is being really cool and doing something really amazing, when all he does is stand on his hands with one hand in the air. He is our little showman.

Kate Smiles

Kate is such a happy baby. She is generous with her smiles and loves to giggle at her daddy's silly faces.
