Fam bam.

My dad is #7 of nine kids and it was our families turn to do the family reunion this year.

Despite the rain and the bugs, I think it turned out pretty good.

 Cooper and Cooper....

The girls made lots and lots of bows....

And the boys went skeet shooting...
Ray won 3 out of the 4 games he played of Annie Oakley

Uncle Gary trying to save the dutch oven from the rain...

Three Months.

Today is my beautiful baby girl's 3 month birthday!

And oh my was it a big day.

She rolled over for the first time!! Not one, not two, not three, but four times!

You go girl!

We sure do love you miss Addie pants! I can't believe it's been three months already!

I took some pictures and had a really hard time narrowing it down.

She's just so darn cute!

Birthday Lunch.

Today was Marie's birthday.

We tried to take her out to lunch, but she finagled her way into paying anyways.

So we failed at a birthday lunch, but I guess it's the thought that counts.

Happy Birthday Marie!!

Her Bird.

My mom decided Addie needed a toy, so she bought her "her bird" as we call it.

We tried to pretend like Addie was thrilled, but she really wasn't quite sure what to do with it at first.

But now she loves it! Can you blame her? Look how cute the little bird is. It even has a bow!

Anyways, when she pulls on it, it sings. I just lay her under here and she does her thing while I do mine. 

Love it!

 

Baby Whisperer.

Meet Addie's Uncle Dan.

Aka The Baby Whisperer.

Addie was not happy one day and Ray and I could not figure out how to make her stop crying. 

Dan came in and asked if he could give it a shot. 

In less than a minute he had her stopped.

His trick?... The football hold. 

Ray better be taking lessons.

Crystal.

Since we couldn't make it to all of Ray's heatstroker games, I decided to let Ray do his guy thing and Addie and I took a ride up to Crystal with my parents. Addie rode in the truck with my dad and my mom and I rode up in her new prowler. As always, it was absolutely gorgeous. The wildflowers were stunning and oh my goodness, they smelled so good! I wish there were a way to bottle the smell up and put it on a blog. It was fabulous!

My parents were dancing with Addie and she was loving it!

She was laughing right out loud... it was so cute!

And we of course, had to put Addie's name in a tree to document her first trip to Crystal.

(Sorry all you tree huggers out there... the tree will be fine.)

Heatstroker.

Every year Ray and his brothers play in the Heatstroker softball tournament in St. George.

I am usually a die hard and make it to every game, but not this year.

A baby changes things.

We did make it for a little bit, though. And we even wore matching shirts.

Aren't we just so supportive...

Ray and his brothers between games...

the boys again, just hanging out...
Ray loves it when all of his brothers are in town. They make a lot of stupid (haha, in my opinion anyway) jokes, and have a ton of fun together.
