Official Announcement!

Just wanted to announce that we are adding a new edition to our family this coming March!

IT'S A GIRL!!!

WE ARE THRILLED!!!

In other exciting news....I finally did another post!!

Two actually! See below!!

4th of July!

We had a fun 4th! Had a BBQ with friends during the day and then a fun fireworks show that night! We are lucky to live close to a baseball stadium that was doing big fireworks and a concert venue that did a great show also! We were surrounded! The highlight for Sadie was the Cheesy Doritos! And poor Samantha got her first sparkler burn!

On the 3rd we went down to see some fireworks over the Missourri River! This was our attempt at a family photo!

I am so glad this video posted, I tried last time and could not get video to post! I just have to say that the girls love to sing and we sing lots of different songs, so around the 4th of July to switch things up because Old McDonald and Twinkle Star we're getting kind of old, I started singing them some patriotic songs. For some crazy reason they both took to God Bless America, and started requesting it 60 times a day! I am sad that Sadie isn't singing a long very well in this video, because she seems to love it a bit more than Sam. In fact, still to this day it is her pck for her bedtime song every night!

August!

Look at me getting all caught up! Maybe I will even have Halloween posted in November?! These are just some highlights of things we did end of July and August!

The girls got their first purses! We went one night over to an outdoor shopping complex and they went in and picked them out, and then strutted all over the place with them!

It was ADORABLE!

Jake brought us home these flowers, Just Because!

We were all thrilled!

We took a fun trip down to Crown Center, we went to a Lego display and then outside to run through the fountains!

The girls with their cute friend Britt! Samantha is loving it!!

I guess this wasn't a fun hightlight, Poor Sadie! She got her first set of stitches! It is actually pretty comical now to think back to mine and Jake's reaction! This was our first big injury that we have dealt with as parents, and we were both a bit frantic at first! Sadie had climbed up into her booster seat up against the counter top bar and we are thinking she must have stood up and slipped and fell onto Samantha in her booster seat! All of the sudden she is hysterical and Jake runs over to comfort her, we sit her back in her chair and I look over and their is blood running down her shoulder!! She must have sideswiped the edge of the counter with her earlobe and it kind of severed it! Jake laughs at me for calling it severed, but I don't know how else to describe it! There was a big slit in her ear lobe!! So anyways off to the E.R. because of course it was at 9:00 on a Saturday night! It was kind of brutal having to watch her get the stitches! She was trying so hard to be brave! And it was adorable....Samantha started singing her songs to help her feel better! She ended up with 6 stitches, and I honestly think going to the Doctor to get them taken out was probably more traumatic for her than getting them in!!

Fun with friends at this cute little farm we have close by!

Sadie, Amelia, Samantha

The girls with their "boyfriend" Caleb!

We often get asked if these 3 are triplets?!

This was the girl's first parade! These are our cute friends Erika and Alyssa. They are so cute to Sadie and Samantha. And I just have to say in regard to my God Bless America comment earlier that the girls also associate Erika with God Bless America, so that is what they call her! They have just recently shortened it to America.

Samantha

Sadie

A fun trip down to Union Station! They have a big indoor train table!
The girls could have watched forever!

I just had to post this because if you can tell, the girls are drenched! We have a shopping complex by our house that has these big fountains, and the girls cannot help themselves! They start out just sticking their hands in it and within seconds they are soaked! They LOVE it!!

Utah Trip!

These are the zillions of pictures to highlight our time in Utah! Jake had a work trip to the University of Utah hospital in May so we went with and the girls and I stayed through most of June! Such a fun trip! We feel so lucky to get to spend so much time with our families and friends!! So consider that a warning....this is a super long post of pictures!! It was way hard deciding what to post!! (and p.s.- I am sure this is due to my infrequent posting that I still cannot figure out how to post my pictures in order!!!)

We were so lucky....Jake flew in and we met up in Vegas for our 4th Wedding Anniversary!

We decided to stay at the "Paris" Hotel to relive some of our memories from last year (in the real Paris, France)! We had such a great time! And were so lucky to have such willing babysitters!!

While we were there we went and did the Gondola ride at the Venetian Hotel!

We went to a restaraunt and ordered this Big Kahuna, it was crazy! It had an erupting volcano and everything!!

This is funny....I couldn't stand leaving Utah without going up to Bear Lake. We drove all the way up there and it was cold and windy! Oh well...atleast we attempted!

Fun with Grandpa Spence in the wagon!
