Memorial Day

We got to spend Memorial Day weekend in Roosevelt with my family. On Monday we went to the Lapoint cemetery to decorate some family graves. I loved being able to participate in this tradition and to think about the family members that are no longer with us on earth. I think I sometimes forget about the importance of this day. I truly am grateful for all the men and women who have protected this country so that we can all be free. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

My youngest brother Jake would purposely frown in all the pictures I took of him :) consequence is that I get to post the one of him smiling!

I love to ride four wheelers and took Dax on his first ride! He quite enjoyed it and I'm sure it will be something he loves to do as well.

6 Months

Our little one is 6 months! I cannot believe how fast it goes by! You think that the older they get the easier it will be and while that is true in some aspects in others it is not. Why, you ask? Because they move! A lot! 
Weight: 16 pound 4 ounces. 25th percentile
Height: 27 1/2 inches. 80th percentile (we have a very tall skinny boy and his pants are never long enough!)
Clothes: 6-9/12. He always grows out of his pj's first. Did anyone else have this problem?
Diapers: Size 2
Food: Eating puréed foods but wants everything. So far he probably likes carrots best.
Movement: It's amazing how much babies can actually move even though they can't crawl. Dax can inch, roll, army crawl anywhere he wants and pretty fast at that. So now starts the baby proofing of the house. I was not counting of that so quickly!
Sleeping: Sleep? What does that mean? Just kidding it's not too bad. Sometimes he will wake up 3-4 times a night, sometimes once a night but most often it's twice a night. But he usually goes back to sleep pretty quickly. He naps 2-3 times a day, anywhere from an hour to two hours.
Teeth: No teeth yet but he is drooling like crazy!

We went swimming and sticking true to the first child being spoiled we bought him this floaty. We justified it by saying it was his 6 month old birthday present :). Needles to say he loved it! He kicked around like crazy.


Just relaxing :)


Then we took him out so he could splash daddy back, that was the most fun of all! He could not stop splashing and it has continued to the bathtub.

First Falls Hike

We went on our first hike for the year to First Falls up Sundance Canyon. Most people don't know that along with Stewart Falls there are also two other waterfall hikes. First Falls and Second Falls. It was a fun hike and while I like the Stewart Falls waterfall better the hike to First Falls was a little easier and shorter. The weather was perfect!




These two are two of a kind! While I was trying to snap the picture Sam would close his eyes, then Daxton, then Sam again until we lost Dax's attention.
