Sunday Walk

Us enjoying our Sunday walk as a family.


Aleksandra in front of the SLC temple.

Aleksandra caught on camera being so cute!

This is what my daughter does every time she gets near a church of any kind. She screams on the top of her lungs until we take her home.

Yum, that is my hubby!

Best part of the night, well besides baby going to sleep after all the running around she did on our walk.

Just like T


I gave Aleksandra the option between two toothbrushes a beautiful cute pink my Little Pony toothbrush and this Thomas the Tank Engine. And as you can tell by this photo which one she decide to pick. My little girl loves trains! I would say the T, my nanny kid did help in that department since his favorite thing is trains too. She can't help but be just like him, she loves T, and Trains so much...

Mike and I have made it a goal ever Saturday Morning to go on some sort of family physical activity every Saturday morning to help me with my weight loss. So this Saturday we headed up Ensign Peak it was hot and exhausting but we had fun company and a good lunch after. We fed Aleksandra her sack lunch then went to Sushi with our good friends the Gowdy, I would say the hike was well worth it.

Us up at Ensign Peak.

a REAL Creeper

We had an unknown visitor in our home and had someone took our laptop computer and Mikes wedding ring from our home. We have a light switch in our home that doesn't really work as a light switch and someone had switch that light on in our home and that had turned on the TV and computer instead. So when Mike got home we knew something was up. Then we realized we where missing things. It's weird to think that someone could come into our home and take our things. I am just glad no one was home for any of this. But the worst part is the laptop they took had all of Aleksandra's baby photos since birth and I am a retard and didn't back them up! Let this be a lesson to all of you and back up your photos!

77.00 dollars to replace our locks

(7 is my lucky number)

We had to call a stinking Locksmith, but now I feel a lot safer!

But the best part was my great friend came over with dinner, when I didn't have the energy or time to think about about cooking. Honestly that is what a true friend is about.

Thank you

a hundred

times over

and

over

We love

Yoo

MUCH!

That is how a crappy night is turned into a great night!

Mexican Night

Yes, this time this month it's Mexican Night and we got really festive and got together in Rose Park all in the name of Mexican Night. Just kidding this was the only place that could hold all of us crazy people. Thanks to everyone for making such great dishes.

Camille's Key Lime cup Cakes AJ and Cindy's Spanish Rice

My totally fat free enchiladas, wink wink!

My plate all put together even with Jessica's yummy 7 layer bean dip!

The boys and their awkward faces well at least Mike's.

Aleksandra's sucker from the Rose park Bank that doesn't get more Mexican then that!

Lola, looking all cute even when she wasn't feeling well (Alek's sweet twin)!


Such a cute family!

Of course I made Mike and Aleksandra wear the Mexico colors on our Mexican Night.

Red

White

and

Green

All the Way well

At least for tonight it was!

The coming of Lester

Today we celebrated the coming of Nicole's baby Lester. It was a fun shower and a good way for everyone to get together. We love you Nicole and Lester the 5th, I wonder how many times I can get away with saying Lester.

Alaina, Cindy, Lyla, Camille, Tracy, Sarah, Ryan, Kaea

Sadie, Me, Nicole (with Lester inside), Ashley, Nicole

Yes, we got to stare at these ladies the whole time!

Mr. Milo, Sadie's cute kid, we are so excited for them to move back into the neighborhood! And Milo is excited to have Lester as a friend.

And the poor girls across the room had to look at us, nah they are lucky!
We can't wit to meet you Lester the 5th!
Please be nice to your Mom!
And get here on time!

Work Visit

i love how her face lights up when she sees her papa...

see?
thanks to my incredible Mikey for being such a perfect dad always, we are so glad we could come visit you at work even though it was way past babies bed time. I know Aleksandra was so happy to see you and for you to help her with her new trick "jumping".

Thanks for being our best bud.
we love you!

My Olivia

These are Aleksandra new Tub Crayons.

She colored in the tub for 45 minutes and screamed when I took her out. I am pretty sure this is just as good as Olivia, but Aleksandra didn't get sent to bed.

This is what happened when I wasn't paying attention, my little Olivia got hungry!

Here she is quiet proud of her master piece!

Our message we left to our cute Daddy.

More to GO

I have officially lost a normal 2 year old child. No don't worry I didn't actually lose my nanny kid I am just officially down 30 pounds from were I started 2 months ago. I couldn't be happier, all this gym time is paying off and I am ecstatic. Soon I will be back to my goal weight and back into my old jeans.
