you're such a good girl!

Look how BIG my baby girl is getting! She's got huge, cute, kissable cheeks and is just such a great baby! I'm posting a video of Jane talking to paige. She loves her sister so much, it's so fun to watch her. She has only been mean to Paige one time, when Paige was a few weeks old she bit her finger. Paige was sound asleep and woke up with a "I'm in major pain" scream. It took me a minute to figure out what was wrong. I had to examine closely but Jane finally fessed up. I think she was curious, not being really mean. She's seriously never done anything but be nice to Paige since. Can you tell how good my baby girl is? Jane hears me saying this to Paige all the time and I caught her being so sweet to her here. She's always talking to Paige and telling her things. It's cute!

Las Vegas!!! Pictures, and more pictures...

Tons of pictures from our trip to vegas. We had a blast spending the 4th with my family and thanks to my sisters, we did LOTS of fun things! We spent a few days up in St. George with my sister Emily and her family, as well as Kate, Rachelle, and Whitney and families. Lots of kids, lots of fun, lots of craziness! Bathtime with the girl cousinsBowling FUN!!! Super supporters below.
Cute baby Jo.
Braden got the first strike of the game. I LOVE how excited all the cousins got for each other when they did good. They all chanted each others names and cheered!
Paige was cheering too! :)


Uncle Sam playing games with the boys. Thank goodness he was there!
We hiked up Snow Canyon in St. George. It was really fun, and really hot!

Me with my kiddos (jane stayed home).




We went to California Pizza Kitchen for a tour and got to make our own mini pizzas! Don't I have cute nieces and nephews?





We also went to an Arctic Exibit where the kids put on penguin aprons and slid down a slide. Amazing what keeps a kid busy for an hour.


Paige tagging along with us. Look at those cheeks! My 3-month-old is getting so big!

We also went to the childrens museum. The kids really liked it!
They had a "hurricaine simulator" where they create winds up to 85 mph. Jane LOVED it and went in it 4 times! Her curls were pretty much straight by the end. It was hilarious!






One of the best things about going to vegas in the summer is swimming at the pool. It feels so good to be outside there when you are wet!


This was the first time Paige had been in the water. She loved it!

We had SUCH a great time! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful, fun family. I'm so lucky to have such beautiful and close sisters. We have a great time together, as do our kiddos. (Well, when Jane's not hitting her cousins which did happen a few times towards the end. And Braden did get in a few conflicts himself. But overall, a memorable, priceless vacation full of memories!)
