"Mom this is the funnest pool ever... can I drive my truck in it?"

We finally bought a pool. It is about the only way we can be outside at all during the day. It is so hot here and getting hotter. I feel for all you valley people... we are not quite as hot as you are but not far behind. Deagan loves it. He would be out there all day if I would let him... It is so nice having it, but it kind of makes me nervous... even though it is not very deep it doesnt take much water at all for something tragic to happen. Dev and I have told Deagan over and over that he is not to be out there without someone else, and he has had swimming lessons before, but still. But,besides that we are loving it. Treyden even got to enjoy it for a little bit today... and loved it... of course. He loves everything. And we also found out that Zoe is a pretty good swimmer... haha. Deagan got a kick out of that. Poor Zoe. So, instead of sitting inside all day we will be outside where we love to be. And the best part of it all is how quickly it wears Deagan out! I didn't know anything could do that.

6 months, 1/2 a year, 181 days...

... any way I put it is still sad. Our baby is growing up so fast. I know I say this every month but 6 months is huge. Before we know he will be one! It seems like we were just anxiously waiting his arrival. Treyden has brought so much joy into our lives. He is such a happy baby and so much fun. It is so exciting to watch him discover new things. He is rolling over like crazy and is just about to sit up on his own. He still loves his baby cereal and loves baby food... everything except applesauce. He is growing like crazy, I can't believe how big he is... I love it. I love his big chubby cheeks, his rolls and his dimpled hands. He is so sweet. It has been so much fun to have him in our home... he is laughing and smiling like crazy... here is a video of him laughing at Dev.

AH! I love love love that boy's laugh. It is so cute. We actually have video... somewhere... of Deagan when he was about this age laughing at the exact same thing. It is so fun to see the similarities between the two of them. In some ways they are just alike, and in some ways they are SO different. We are so blessed to have two happy, healthy boys.

I found a new way to clean my floors... and it's earth friendly :)

Zoe loves to do stuff like this, I don't know why. She is such a funny dog... no wonder Deagan loves her so much. This is my brother in the video. He is with us for the week.

The quality isn't the best... I used my phone, and I couldn't get the sound to work... I don't know if it was just our computer or what... But I thought it was still pretty funny. Crazy dog.

All essentials to a fun family reunion! This last weekend we went camping for our family reunion. We got there Thursday night and left Sunday afternoon. It was so fun, but boy was I ready to take a shower.There is nothing better than a hot shower and sleeping in my own bed after 3 1/2 days of camping. I hardly took any pictures... I was lame and not in the mood. I am kicking myself now but here are the 2 I took.

Dane, such a good sport playing Play-Doh with the little ones...

Little Treyden. He was so good... he just chilled the whole time, never made a peep.

It was so good to see everyone, we don't get together that often so when we do it is always fun. We missed those who couldn't make it though... Deagan had a blast! Of course... outside ALL DAY, playing in the dirt, pushing his dump truck... he loved it.

Can't wait til next year!!

Messy Boy

Treyden decided to feed himself lunch today... apparently I was not doing it fast enough...

YUM!

He got more on himself then in his mouth of course so he had to have a bath... which he enjoyed. A LOT.

All Clean :)

Family Pics.

We got our family pictures done a couple weeks ago... my grandma bought us a package for Christmas like two years ago... and we are just now getting them done. Haha. Ridiculous I know, but atleast now Treyden got to be in them :) It was really windy, but I think they still turned out pretty good. Anyway... these two were my favorite.

Us, and my mom and my little brother :) Isn't my family beautiful.

I love this!

This is the cutest thing ever... I love it. This little boy knows how to rock! Check out his guitar... its a fly swatter.
