Home

We bought a house and we are thrilled about it. We hopefully will be moved in by Oct 1st, that is if we can get all the flooring put in, paint up, wall built, doors hung, baseboards on and a million other projects. Our first project is done, the pool fence. I will post before pictures soon and hopefully after pictures in a month!

July Happenings

We were able to go up to Stu's uncle Dave and aunt Nancy's cabin for the 4th of July. We had a great lunch and were able to do a few fun things there before it started to rain and even hail. They have some fun swings, a fish pond, a zip line and they brought some horses up. Riv got to go on his first horse ride. It was so cute and he LOVED it.

my mom bought this cute birthday hat from the orange patch and it is adjustable to fit any size!!! Rivey loves it. Also there is a pocket inside with more candles to put on top.

We were able to go see Wicked. I love plays and I have to say this was one of my favorites for sure. If you haven't seen it, it is a must see.

hooray for wicked

me and hay before wicked

Here is Rivers with his best buddy Carson. Riv was giving him a baby massage on the shoulders.

I love it when my baby is all clean and in his monster towel!

Greenbeans

We gave Rivers some greenbeans to eat, we got this reaction....

Rivey

Rivers is getting HUGE! He loves to pound down his rice cereal and drink lots of bottles. He is so much fun. He has mastered rolling over, squealing and sleeping through the night! He loves to be outside in his stroller and loves church. Here are some pictures my brother Ryan snapped yesterday and a picture of my sister and me and Riv on Easter.

My reason for being a horrible blogger

Rivers is almost 4 months. He is such a joy to have as my little sidekick. I love being a mom and wouldn't trade all the tired days for anything. He is growing so fast. We weighed him at my mom's work last week and he was 15 lbs 8 oz. He continues to makes us laugh every day. Last Sunday we had him in primary with us and one of the classes were doing their sharing time. They were playing a game and being quite loud and we don't know if it was the vibration of the microphone but Riv started belly laughing. We have heard him giggle before but this was a belly laugh and for almost 20 minutes straight. Stu had to take him out because he got our whole primary going. I love this little baby more than anything!

He fell asleep in his swing



my brother heath got him this Steve Nash jersey for Riv for Christmas. It is still way too big but Stu wanted to try it on him.

Look at that deliciousness.

Cowboy Riv

All I can say is that I love that my brother is a photographer and that I have a baby. When Ryan gets a new lens or something exciting he is always wanting to try it out on someone. Who better than Riv. Here are some he took last night. Oh and he wasn't naked he had a diaper on. Also he is so chubby he kinda looks like he needs a bra. I love him and all of his chubby self. Also We buzzed his head. His new hair was growing in and all of his old, long hair was falling out so we made him go from old man baby to cute buzzed baby. Oh how we LOVE our baby Riv!

Family Pictures

The other day my brother Ryan took our family pictures. We wanted to get some done before Heath left for his mission. We decided since we were all dressed and Rivers hadn't ruined his outfit yet that we would take our family pictures as well. Ryan did a great job! We loved how they turned out!

Heath and Riv. Heath left to the MTC last tuesday. It was bitter, sweet. We love him so much and will miss him a ton but he will be the best missionary. The people of Halifax are so lucky to have him for two years.
