Latest and Greatest (it's about time!)

I have been a bad blogger- shame on me! A lot has gone on since the last post so I will try to catch up without boring everyone!

First of all Tommy has finally started walking! It's the drunken sailor walk mixed with a little prancing of the feet- I love it! He thinks he is hot stuff- which he is!

Next Nate and I celebrated our 7th anniversary on June 7th. Wow how time flies. I still remember Nate trying to hit on me at Church and thinking he was the most handsome man I had ever seen! I feel so lucky to be married to such a great man, and am very grateful he is such a wonderful husband and father. I love you Nate! I wish I had pictures of our wedding on my computer but our scanner isn't working. So you get a repeat of this picture from our cruise. I realize that we have very few pictures of us together- how sad!

Next Alexis started and passed her first level of swim lessons! She was a little reluctant to go but as soon as she saw her teacher and got in the water her fears went down the drain! She went crazy! She was always asking "what's next teacher?" I was so proud of my little Bobo. Now every time she gets in the bath she likes to show me her new "moves!" Her personal favorite is floating on her back, but my favorite is her awesome belly flop! Tommy was seriously upset that he couldn't get in the water too, but was easily bribed with multiple packs of fruit snacks!

(I don't know if she was more excited about passing swim lessons or getting a treat!)

(Notice the mouth packed full of a whole bag of fruit snacks!)

Two saturdays ago I was able to get together with some of my childhood friends. It brought back so many good memories. I spent many days and nights with these girls playing night games, watching movies- I remember watching "The Labrynth" for the first time at Brooke and Ambers house, talking about boys, trying to stay up all night at sleepovers, the list could go on! It was so good to see all of them, and to see how their lives have turned out. All of them have turned into wonderful women, and I am in awe of each one of them. I really miss those times we shared as kids. I will always have fond memories with these girls. Thanks Brooke for welcoming us into your home. For those girls who live in Utah we should get together more often. And for Amber I will have to settle being updated by reading your blog, but please call me anytime you are in Utah and we can catch up. Yet again I forgot my camera so I don't have any pics of the festivities, sorry!

Lastly we have really been enjoying the begining of summer now that the weather has gotten better (what's with the cold rain?)! Last Friday I bought the kids a blow up pool. They had so much fun swimming in it that after I had dried them off and got them dressed they wanted to just go stick their feet in- you can guess how that ended up!
