Lewis & I got picked up by my parents on wednesday to head up north to stay with them for the 4th of July celebrations. Alvin of course had to work so he missed out on all the festivities. hopefully next year he will be able to go. poor guy just misses out on all the fun. i feel like im of playing every week while he is at work. he works sooo hard so i can stay home with the baby & i can never thank him enough for letting me stay at home. it sure does put alot of stress on him being the only one working. anyway we had a great time in Heber. here are a few of the things we did while we were there...

-got out of the scorching heat. they have such cool nights up there.
-got to see LOTS of family.
-played lots of volleyball, badminton, ladder toss & of course we played a few card games.
-ate yummy food
-excersized with my mom every morning. something i look forward to everytime we go up to visit.(i hate to admit that she is probably in better shape than me)
-watched some amazing fireworks & got to see some old friends for high school. (love you girls)

i didnt take alot of pics while we were there. i was too busy having soo much fun with the fam! we had everyone there except Alvin. He got there sunday & we had a great family meeting & my dad shared the sweetest testimony with all of us. I sure do have awesome parents. i dont know what i would do without their LOVE & SUPPORT. especially this year going through everything with Lewis. They were right there beside Alvin & I the whole time. they made things a whole lot easier for us. Thanks Mom & Dad for everything! i can never say that enough... We love ya!!!


Lewis missed his daddy. Here they are catching up on some much needed zzzz's


Lewis still loves his bouncy chair. Here he is playing while we were out slip n sliding. he is such a good baby.


Lewis has taking a interest in holding his bottle. its so fun to work with him! he tries soo hard to hold it by himself. its funny though because most of the time he puts the nipple in his eye. or anywhere else besides his mouth. hence the reason why there is milk all over his adorable face.



Hi MOM!!!


dang this boy makes me sooo happy! he looks like a big boy in this pic.


He LOVES to stand up. he is getting soo strong.


we cant wait for next weekend when we get to be with the Pease family up at the cabin. it stinks not being close to them.. we dont get to see them nearly as much as we would like. its gonna be soo nice to get out of the HEAT too! its sooo dang hot here. ill be sure to take my camera so i can take lots of pics up at the cabin!
