Welcome Home Andrew!

Image
Jesse's little brother Andrew came home today from his Mission. It was a pretty exciting day! We are very happy he is home and that he finally was able to meet Reese!! She did just what I thought she would do and just tease him all night. It was fun to watch her get more and more comfortable with him throughout night and when we were getting ready to leave she gave him a big kiss. Andrew and Reese's first Hug!! So Sweet! Here is Jesse with his parents and all his siblings . It is good to have Andrew home and it was fun to listen to some of his stories from his mission. I am excited for him and Reese to spend more time together and get to know each other better. Welcome Home Andrew!!

Out on the Boat

Image
We went out on the boat on Monday for a bit. It was the first time this year and was a trial run to see how Reese would do. She is a little bit harder than last year. She does great when we are just sitting and she can cruse around and climb on the seats. She doesn't like when we are moving because we make her sit on one of our laps. She can't stand to have to just sit there. So it will take a few trips I think to get her more use to how it works out there on the boat. We let her dangle her feet off the back and all she wanted to do was get in. So we put her swimming suit on and Jesse would let her get in and she didn't quiet know what to think of the cold water. So he would take her out and then she would want right back in. Then all she wanted to do was play and splash her feet in the river. We spotted this Bald Eagle and got a few cool shots of him.

Another Little Girl!!

Jesse and I are excited to announce we are having another little Girl in November. I know Reese will be a great big sister and is going to love the new little one. Two little girls is going to be alot of fun. Everything looked great in the ultrasound and I think we are kinda leaning towards naming her Meg Aniston , but that is not 100%. The next couple months are going to be very crazy and I know November will be here before we even know it. Chase will be home about a week before I go into have this next little Girl...Yeah Just in time! His release date is the 9 th of Nov and I will be going in probably around the 16 th . It will be nice to have everyone back home and here to celebrate the holidays!

Summer Regional in Sun Valley

This year Jesse's Edward Jones Summer Regional was in beautiful Sun Valley! We were really excited to go and had a wonderful relaxing three days. Our stay at the Lodge and all our meals were taken care of by Jesse work so it made it just that much easier to relax and enjoy the weekend to it's fullest. It was so nice to sleep in (while Jesse was a meeting Saturday morning), wonder through the ski shops in town and well just do anything we wanted. Jesse would kill me if he knew I was posting this picture. Ha Ha I just think he looks really good. Sunday I took engagement pictures for his little sister Jordanne and well I was trying to get an idea of where I would like to take them so Saturday afternoon I made him be my model. He was a good sport and helped me alot . We got really great photos of Jordanne and Jordan Sunday and had fun cruising around Sun Valley with them. Reese stayed home with my parents while we were in Sun Valley. We missed her but I know she had fun playin...

Last week we got to celebrate alot of birthdays! Liam's is the 3rd, mine is the 4th, Andrew's is the 5th (he is still in Bolivia so he wasn't home to celebrate with but we were thinking of him) and Logan's is the 6th! Ha Ha So it is a pretty fun week for us. On Sunday we meet up with Bre and Lincoln in Malad to kinda celebrate everyones birthdays. We had lunch and let the kids play at the park for a bit. Reese was having such a great time with the boys! She is getting so big. I really can't believe it. Liam giving Reese a big hug! Love it! We have started our busy summer, but wish the weather would be a bit nicer! We havn't even pulled the boat out of the shop yet!! Hopefully this next weekend it will warm up. Reese is going to love the boat even more this year but will be a bit of a challange I think. She is so active and loves to climb on everything. I am just excited to take her out. This is our little accessories girl! This picture is not very good becaus...

Happy Birthday Jesse!

Last Monday was Jesse's birthday. Reese and I bought him riding gear. He will finally be legit and when Chase gets home he won't be able to make fun of Jesse for not having it. Unfortunately he didn't have much a birthday weekend. I got the flu Saturday night and was down for the count til about Monday afternoon. So needless to say he spent the weekend taking care of me. (I'm not a good sick person) Hopefully he will be able to get out and ride here soon. Reese is doing great and is full of surprises . Can't believe some of the stuff she will do and come up with. She keeps it interesting. She is trying to figure out the whole jumping thing right now. She can get one foot off the ground. Pretty funny to watch her. She now will throw just about anything she can get her hands on and usually it is directed at one of the dogs. We are so lucky to have such a fun and happy little girl! This weekend hasn't been much better for the flu at our house. Reese got sick Frida...

Easter and a Powder Day!

Image
For the past 2 weeks our house has had Easter Eggs everywhere! I had to stuff a little over 2,000 eggs for my works Annual Easter Egg Hunt. Reese loved making a mess with them and playing with them. She made stuffing them very difficult. She would actually help put the candy in the eggs for about 15 minutes or so and then just wanted to eat the candy, and play with the eggs and made it impossible to get them done. Saturday was the Easter Egg Hunt and after all that stuffing Reese didn't even get to come and enjoy it. It was way to cold to have her out. It has snowed Friday night and we had like 30 mph winds that morning. It was almost impossible to scatter over 20,000 eggs in the park with the wind. The wind was blowing the eggs and our prizes all over. But despite the freezing cold we had just as good of turn out as usual. I was shocked! People are serious about their Easter Egg Hunts... haha . BreAna , Lincoln and the boys were in town for the weekend. Reese went and hung out...
