Summer is coming to an end!

We have been enjoying these long summer days and are sad they are coming to a close. Don't get me wrong it is still 110 degree's outside but Nate is getting more busy and has started up full time back at school. We already miss him and are trying to entertain ourselves while he is gone. A new favorite activity is to huddle in Lexi's princess tent and watch movies on the computer. Both kids will sit happily watching a show and playing together. I am really loving that they can entertain each other now. Nixon loves to watch Lexi and she is good to give him attention. I hope they continue to love each other :) 


This adorable little man turned 6 months on August 9th.

-He weighed in at 17 pounds (he now at almost 7 months weighs 18 pounds)
-Smiles ALL OF THE TIME
-Loves going to the park to swing on the swings
-Loves his mama (attached FOR SURE)
-Loves baby food and can eat a whole jar in about 2 minutes flat!
-Has the best eyes that sparkle when he smiles
-Is so friendly and loves everyone
-Strongest baby on the planet! Crawls, scoots, sits up, does push ups, rolls and can pretty much beat up his sister
-Loves soft blankets 
-Falls asleep best with his daddy


He has melted all of our hearts and we are SO grateful he is apart of our family. We love him more than words!!



These two are quite the pair! They get into loads of trouble and Nixon is right there helping Lexi achieve anything she puts her mind too.

My handsome little man. His little dimple just kills me.

Relaxing FHE at the park. Nixon LOVES the swings and gut laughs the whole time. His favorite thing is when Nate pretends like he is going to eat his toes. It gets him every time! SO CUTE!

My princess :)













The sass and personality this little girl has is pretty interesting. She keeps us laughing and has something new to say at all times. She was explaining to me that she was Rapunzel and the mean lady was coming to get her hair...



2 going on 18.... Watch out world!





Labor Day 2013

We have made some great friends here in AZ and planned a little trip to Sedona. It was such a beautiful place. It had pretty red rock with trees and fun shops. It reminded me of St. George and Park City combined. We planned a little hike then lunch and games at the park. It was the best day and we had so much fun!!

We started the day with a fun hike around Bell Rock.
Ready to start our hike!

This is little Hudson. Is he not the cutest? Nixon and Hudson are only 2 weeks apart. They are going to be the best little buds!

SO EXCITED!!

Pointing out our trail. We were going to hike around Bell Rock.

And we were off! Our stroller did awesome on the hike and both Nate and I got a great work out pushing the kids.












We made it! Bell Rock. I got Lexi out of the stroller and we explored all around. People climbed all the way to the top of that rock. It was beautiful! It was a nice 85 degrees with a cool breeze. Loved being outside!


We have been enjoying these last few summer days. Now back to real life with a busy Nate. We are so proud of his hard work and dedication. He is doing great in school and is being a smart scientist! We look forward to fall and winter here in AZ and can't wait for cooler weather so we can plan more adventures :)
