Fourth of July

 

What a fun Fourth of July!! We had so much fun celebrating our first Fourth of July at our home. We hope to have started some new traditions. We went to the orem freedom festival, then had lunch, and played on the slip n slide, then we had a BBQ with ribs and all the yummy fixings, then topped it off with homemade ice cream and a firework show with neighbors, family and friends.  It was such a fun night and weekend. So glad that my parents, Mike, Brock, and Rissa could come up to celebrate with us for the weekend.  

Zion

We had such a fun Graves family reunion in Zion. We loved getting outdoors and enjoying the beauty of mother nature and adventuring with our family.  I think me heart grew three sizes after adventuring with my little crew over the weekend. A little glimpse of our future flashed before my eyes and I can't wait for more weekends like this one.  Such a great trip all around! 

5 Months of Vera

5 MONTHS

She still has no teeth. What we thought was a tooth is just whiteness on her gums.

She is army crawling everywhere and rocks on her knees.

She is no longer sleeping through the night, but I can't complain because I just got a few months of really good sleep. 

She wakes up once or twice a night - which I can handle (that was a good night for Jade).

She adores her sister and laughs at Jade when she throws tantrums.
