We had a wonderful week. I made it a point to be outside with Colee as much as possible. She loves to be out there and now that I feel so much better I can enjoy it with her more. We went to the park most days but we also went to the farm country at Thanksgiving Point, the pool and Colee finally went down the slide on her own and LOVED it!!
Mike and I went to St. George just for a quick trip to get some remaining items from our house and we want to thank my mom, Sheraka and Marks for taking such good care of our boo!! There is just no way I could leave her with anyone else!



Look at my girl run!! She LOVES to run no matter where she is going, even back and forth from room to room in the house. She just loves it and it is super cute!!

London was with Colee and I all last week and they had such a great time. London enjoys being outside finding rolly polly bugs and this is a shot of the two of them just after they found one that they were trying to get to eat something.
One of the days we had London we went to the Big red barn at Thanksgiving Point and Colee was in heaven. London had just gone there on a field trip but she still had fun pointing out all the things she had just learned. I believe she is explaining how to tell the difference between a boy rabbit and a girl rabbit in this pic.

This was the highlight of the red barn for Colee...getting to ride her black pony. She watched this little guy go round and round for quit a while when we were in line and she was adament that this was the pony she was riding. She was so stinking cute on the pony!! She was singing "old mcdonald" the entire ride and when we past the worker she yelled, "this is fun girl"! I about fell over laughing it was too cute!!

To cap off our week Mike and I drove down to St. George to get the remainder of our things from our house and this is a picture of him in front of his beloved palm tree. He sure misses his palms, especially this guy. We had two when we moved in but his brother didn't make it through the winter...we didn't buy blankets for them in time.

Wow it has been a long time since I posted and Mike has been asking me for weeks now to update the blog for his family so here I am...trying to remember how to post. I may need to call Lea for some help.
I am just going to post some of my favorite photos of the last few months and call it good for a catch up and then I will try to be more diligent for my husband.
We found out on the 8th that we are going to have another little girl and I can not be more excited!! I really wanted another little girl. Colee has just been so much fun and my best friends are my sisters so I want that for her/them. The men, including Daddy, are a little sad it's not the boy of their little league dreams but she will have them wrapped around her finger in no time!! I keep forgetting my due date but I believe it is around September 19th. I am feeling a million times better and actually able to enjoy this pregnancy while not being a major pain to my family.

We are getting ready to go on a family vacation to Puerto Vallarta and we are all looking forward to it. Especially Colee. Mike has told her all about the beach and the ocean and she can't wait to get there. Sheraka and London will be with us so it should be lots of fun for all of us. Before you get all worried and post something about the swine flu... I have spoken to both my OB and to Colee's doctor and they both said go and have a blast and just be very aware of hygeine. Plus, the swine flu is in Lehi now so really are we much safer here?

Colee has gotten so big the last few months. She acts older too. I think she is the tallest one in our ward nursery and she definitely tries to run the whole thing. Mike and I are still in the nursery with her, I am not sure why she needs us there but she does and we do love all our kids. It's funny, everyone tells me how much easier boys are but let me just tell you that it is our boys that are the criers and not one girl!!
Some of Colee's favorite things right now are:
-Mac and cheese
-any friends but especially Camo, Daniel and Liza
-playing at any and all parks (even though she just climbs up and down and won't go down slides)
-Daddy coming home and going on a run with him
-wathching The Santa Clause over and over and over
-Zack and Cody as long as they are their house and not on the boat or at school (yes, the disney show)
-doing projects with Nana
-helping to put clothes in the washing machine and then watch them
-doing anyone's hair that will sit long enough to let her do it...this came in handy when I was so sick. I would just lay on the couch and she would do my hair almost all afternoon.

I am really looking forward to this summer with her. I am thinking about getting a pass to Thanksgiving Point so I can walk around the garden and then take her to the Noah's Ark splash park...we REALLY miss our splash parks in St. George!!!




Aunt Sher cleaned out her garage and this was Colee's big find...she loves to ride her scooter!

She looked so beautiful Easter Sunday!! This is the best shot Mike got of her gorgeous dress.

Easter morning with her easter basket...she really loved it!!

We took a family drive to the new Draper Temple and it was Beautiful!!


"Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order"? She will play this for a long time as long as someone is there to eat the plastic food she brings!!

Just yesterday Colee and London both had appts. with Dr. Whiting so we went in together. Colee absolutely LOVES her Dr.

Colee doing her projects with Nanna....she LOVES it and feels like such a big kid!!

Colee and Camo and dinner with us at TGIFridays...they LOVE each other.



Story time with uncle Swisher. He will come over and spend hours with her outside on the play ground and for all of his efforts she will cuddle up right on him and read books. He is so much fun and she goes crazy when he comes over.
