just keep swimming, just keep swimming, swimming!

reese & bentley waiting to get in

i took reese swimming for the first time this week. seriously, i can't believe this was his first time. but since it has been raining like everyday for the last two months, it kind of had to be that way.
we went to jenn's parent's pool.

check out that rockin' life vest

me and reeser

he was a little fish! HE LOVED THE WATER! he kicked and kicked and loved splashing. when he had on the life vest i laid him back and he would squeeze his eyes shut and kick... he loves the bath a lot so i ma not surprised that he liked the pool just as much. cute little stinker.

south ogden days

us at josh gracin on saturday night!
gotta love a free concert!

since this is our first year as home owners we participated a lot this week in south ogden days. we had a really good time. we went to the josh gracin concert and fire works on saturday with brad's family. while we were there we ran into boualay, mirko and nina. so they moved their blanket and came and sat by us. it was really fun. reese liked staying up late and eating a bite or two of doritos and cotton candy. he was a very good boy and went to sleep and slept in his stroller until we went home.

earlier in the week we went to the parade. us and a bunch of our neighbors walked over to the park and collected the candy that was scattered everywhere. there were a few floats and lots of water. it was fun taking reese to all this stuff because he hasn't ever seen or heard any of the stuff. he reacted really well to all the fire engines and sirens. just checking everything out.


this was the boy scout truck. this guy that let us sit on his lawn had his hose and was squirting all of the floats (because they were squirting the crowd) and this boy scout guy got so ticked off at him. it was kind of funny. in this pic is nina, boualay, alyssa, amy, and ahmree.

williams fam, roses, cheese...

look at our pretty roses! isn't brad about the best photographer! i mean it looks pro!

i have NEVER seen a CHEEZIER smile from this boy! i LOVE IT!

this week all of my aunts and uncles came to my mom's for a visit. reese was a total ham for all the attention. it was so fun to see all of them. they are all very near and dear to my heart. uncle vern is at the top, then my mom, aunt carolyn, aunt markaye and aunt darlene.
uncle vern & aunt patty: i love you guys! they lived here when i was a little one and they always say i was their first grandchild. it was so fun spending time with them. uncle vern is such a tease! and aunt patty is a about as sweet as can be. when i was little they always gave me skittles, DQ ice cream and took me for rides in the car. uncle vern would bite off the bottom of my cone so i had to eat the ice cream fast!

mom & dad: are the best! they watch reese three times a week and help us out all the time. they always feed us and give us food and stuff we need. i have awesome parents!

uncle claud & aunt carolyn: she is the matriarch of the family, she always has a good book to read and say's "ya" like the germans do, "ja!" i love it!

aunt darlene & brent: she is the sewer and traveler in the family. aunt darlene always has open arms and an open house. she is a snow bird and very crafty. i love her.

aunt markaye & uncle jack: auntie is the one with all the taste! she loves the babies so much and tells you every chance she gets. she makes everyone feel so special, seriously! love her!
