Life has been great...nothing out of the norm... but the warm sun and beautiful weather makes it easy to have fun! The lack in posts is due to the whole lot of nothing that has been going on...
Riley had her first slumber party! Josh's brother and his wife are moving so i offered to take their daughter home so they could get more packing done...Riley and Hailey had a blast! (so did Braden).

We started off with dinner then STRAIGHT to the bath!
Movie time...they got to enjoy a little "pink" chocolate milk as Riley calls it... (strawberry milk)
Let the slumber begin...they both passed out on the couch and then slept in til about 8:30! woohoo (excpet braden woke up around 7am)
Once they woke up i made french toast and served it with blueberries!
Playing kitchen in the morning. Soon after, during Braden's first nap the girls came outside to play while i mowed the lawn and washed the car.
All 3 took a nice long afternoon nap! It turned out really nice and Riley loved having her cousin over for so long!
As riley gets older her "firsts" are getting further apart but she drew a face the other day and that was definetly a first. She thought it up and did it all by herself and then showed me. After i took that picture she drew them for the rest of the day! (she does arms too that come straight of of the hair hehe)
Braden is doing great. He's up the stairs(cant figure out the down part yet..egh! so frustraing!), in drawers, pulling down toys etc. He is such a happy baby, quick to laugh and loves his schedule.
His newest thing is standing. I think the longest we've see him stand alone is around 15 sec. or so (i'm sure by our nth kid we won't be counting, but we're so proud!) He pulls himself onto some object, the couch, the edge of the pool, a toy and is able to let go. He gets unsure of him self and goes to a squat or sometimes just plops down.
He's not taking steps yet. He does like us to walk him around (i seem to remeber riley demanding it more) and he'll use his walker if i put him by it.
Josh and I haven't been doing anything too exciting. I've been reading a lot again lately. I just finished "The Hunger Games" and the second in the series calling "Mockingjay". ohhhhhh i HIGHLY recommend reading them. They are soooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. The 3rd one is coming out toward the end of August and i seriously cant wait! It's a teen book but man oh man are they good. So suspenseful, i finished them a few days ago and haven't stopped thinking about them. Since the 3rd one isnt out i even read the last chapter of the second one over to just to get a "fix" and i'm considuring reading them both again before i get the 3rd one!
Josh has been working hard making sure his little family is happy and we sure appreciate it. When he's home he's been busy keeping our new home from deteriorating (ok, a little dramatic...)he fixed some sprinklers and has been busy spraying for ants...
We are packing up in a few days and heading to Cedar City, Utah for a family reunion. We'll be staying at a KOA (we did this 2 years ago) and it should be fun! We're both excited and i hope to get some great pictures from that trip....until then....
