Hogle Zoo - July 2011

We took the kids to the zoo with the cousins. It was so much fun!

Kennedie can't wait to come back again.

This is Mikah's favorite place to be...on Dad's shoulders

The giraffes were the favorite

 

Don't mess with Mikah and his ice-cream! This is the first time he has had it.

Look at the grip he has on Jer's finger!

 Riding the carosel is so much fun!

Fun on the train

 with Mom and Dad

Fireworks 2011

We went to see the fireworks with Grandma Bonnie, Papa Thompson, and the rest of the family.

Kennedie covered her EYES the whole show because they were too LOUD.

Mikah was in awe the entire time. He thought they were amazing.

Summer 2011 (with Grandma Suzie)

We spent 2 weeks in the summer with Grandma Suzie. Jeramie tiled the kitchen while we were gone. Here are some pictures of our fun we had.
 

Driving in Park City

Does Mikah look scared or what?!

Happy Father's Day Dad!

Since we were away from home and Dad,

we sent him a picture for Father's Day.

In a cave. Our ancestors came through here

and had to stay for shelter during the winter

Blake looks happy to be here, doesn't he?

Fun in the hammock at Gayle's house

Swimming at Grandma's and so happy Dad flew up to get us

Swimming with the cousins

 So happy to be together after 2 weeks

At Hill Air Force Base Museum

Some of Jer's races

Here is Jer running the Spectrum 10k (March 2011). It's his first race other than a 5k so he was a little nervous, but he did amazing! He ran it in 44 min. 48 sec. WOW!

 The kids were cold, but we bundled them up.

Jer also ran in the Utah Valley 5k. He wanted to try the 1/2 marathon, but it was full.

The kids were good and Grandma Suzie, Grandpa Tubby, and Blake came to watch.

Mikah slept most of the time.

Kennedie's "champion" stance.

This is a re-posed picture since we didn't capture it the first time, and thought it was adorable.

Cute friends

Kennedie loves playing outside with friends.

I caught her spinning and had to get a picture.

These girls are adorable!

Crowns

Kennedie had to make crowns for everyone. We all had to have one and wear them.

Easter 2011

We had a ward Easter egg hunt. Kennedie wasn't quite sure what to do, but she got the hang of it and didn't want to stop. Mikah wasn't much into it, but he came along for the ride.

Kennedie also had a personal egg hunt at Grandma Bonnie's. She was an expert and had so many eggs to find. She loved it, can you tell?!

Easter morning was a little slow, she wasn't very happy...

but she eventually found all 6 of her eggs!

Mikah Bear Pictures

Well, I know these are a bit late, but better late than never, right.

4 months

5 months

6 months

7-8 months

9 months

We missed the 10 and 11 month pictures. Sorry.

12 months

Isn't he adorable?! We think so!





Sorry

I apologize for not posting pictures. You would think that since I was home for 7 weeks I would have been able to keep up on it, but nope. I will be better and at least get the bear pictures every month on time. And with that will come any pictures I have missed to keep everyone up to date.

Potty Training

I do not have any pictures for this, as I am sure you are thankful. We finally got Kennedie peeing in the potty, and now are working on number 2. She is getting better, but we have had to buy some incentive toys. We have some for going pee, but she doesn't really need them anymore (occasionally she will ask for a toy for going pee). The doctor said she will go in her own time, but that some parents have gotten different "poop toys" to encourage their child to go. It has worked so far. We are soon on our way to having our first child out of diapers!
