Raymond Family Fun

In July we had a Raymond Family Reunion. We had a great time...here are some pictures of us at Lava Hot Springs floating the river.

Thanks to Mom & Dad for putting all of us up and making it a great weekend!

Changes

Jenna is walking!!! YEA!!! She started to really take off about a week ago, and hasn't stopped since. At first she had her hands way up in the air for balance, but each day her hands have come down a little bit more. If she does fall, which is often and leaves some serious marks on her head, she has to crawl to a peice of furniture to get help up. We are proud of her, and she is really proud of herself!

This is how I found the kids this morning watching a movie. It was a tender moment...with both kids being ok with being so close together.

Fun in July

I am way behind on blogging...I'll pull my pregnant card for an excuse!

The first part of July we went to Bear Lake for our Richards Family Reunion. We had a blast!!! The weather was good, the food was great (and we had a ton of it) and the kids had a wonderful time. There was enough older nieces of ours that wanted to entertain our kids, which is always so nice for us parents.

After the Richards Reunion, we headed to meet up with my family for the Raymond Family Reunion. I'm still working on getting the pictures from that, so stay tuned. For now, here are some moments from Bear Lake:

The kids with their frog hat craft

Jenna getting a ride on the boogie board from her big brother!Adam had a great time being buried in the sand, but it had to be standing up

And the cousins wanted in on the fun (Brennan, Abby, Adam)

What a great lake and a great vacation...we should do that more often!

Summer Fun

We've had a really fun summer so far. Jenna & I have a new tradition going on lately. While I am doing my hair and make up, she sits by the sink and watches or pulls out all of the kleenex's out of the kleenex box, etc. She loves to see herself in the mirror and copies what I do. Sometimes she even brushes her hair with her toothbrush. :)Jenna discovered the hose the other night and it entertained her for quite some time.
Adam waited patiently in the pool for his turn for the hose!
I've been a little under the weather every day until about 5 or 6 in the evening. We are really excited about having a new little one in our family, which means we will have a lot of changes this year such as a new car, a new house, etc. I'm about 11 weeks now and due on January 24th. I heard the baby's hearbeat yesterday for the first time, which is always very exciting! Here's a picture of my first ultrasound!
