Camping

Gage is always asking to sleep on his floor in his room, and make a tent in his room so he can sleep in it. For a year, Ray has been asking Gage if he wants to go camping and sleep in the tent outside in the mountains. Gage has been excited since and has been talking about camping and hunting all the time since then. So....to prep him for it, the tent was set up in the backyard... He had a sleeping bag, treats, his flashlight, toys, and a movie. He did come in around 4 in the morning, but once he woke up, he went back out to hang out in the tent for a while.

Bed time

Aubree is now sleeping in her own room in her crib...it was hard for me because I really loved having her right next to me in case she woke up or stirred. The first night was rough on me and I got no sleep, but Aubree slept pretty well. She only stirred a couple of times and seemed to enjoy her bed. Each night, I get a bit more sleep, and she gets even more. She loves her bed, listening to her music, and being such a big girl.

Herriman Days

We took a trip to Herriman Days this year and Gage had a blast! He got to look at all types of work trucks and even a helicopter and then he had a blast going on so many bouncy houses and rides. This is going to be something we do every year!

Hard Worker

Every time we go to any store, especially Target or Walmart, Gage wants to go look at the toys...but he also thinks because we are out to buy stuff, that he should get a toy. Most of the time, we tell him that he has to work for it, and we get home, he does his list of chores and he gets the toy that day. Well, now that he's getting older, he can understand that you need to really work hard for what you want, and that it takes more than one day to get everything. So, he got a list of chores in which he had to complete each day for seven days. He earned a dollar a day, and earned his toy. He was so happy to do his chores and circle a dollar each day, and loved how each day meant he was one dollar closer to having his toy. He is such a hard worker, never complained about having to do any of his chores, he just did them with a smile and was happy. What a great boy!!

Growing...

It is so much fun to have Aubree in our family and watch her personality grow each day! She is very active, talkative, and needs to be part of everything going on. She is growing so big, and even though most would say she doesn't have chunky legs...she really does compared to what size they were before! That is because this girl loves to eat!

New Zoo

There is a polar bear at the zoo!!! My favorite animal ever is back at the zoo and she is so wonderful and fun to see!
