Back home for a wedding...

We had a great time at the Sprague Wedding! We are so thankful for Allegiant Air! Here are some funny pictures... Wyo weddings are never dull!

Our Good Friends, Dylan and Kelly Milam and Cory and Morgan Toye

The wedding officiant, Fryar Coates ;), and the groom, Ryan Sprague

Swimming Fun

I love that we live in Vegas where we can swim 6 months out of the year! Obviously the kids love it too! Check out Nash (19 months) already swimming under water and Julie (3) diving to get her toy in 4 feet of water! We also have a little pool in the back for short-notice swims;)

Our good friends are back in Vegas (YEAH!) and here are a few pics when they came over for some dinner and swimming.

 Some favorite randoms...

 "Cheese!"

Bryan and I went on a date and were able to hike the whole 6 mile trail without kids! A GREAT Time!

Julie June stills likes to shake her tail feathers!

Summer 2010

We had a FANTASTIC Summer and we are sad it is over. Since I am trying to get caught up I am not going to write in all the details (That would take years). So if you want more explanation call me or look at them on Facebook:) Here are some of our favorite memories from Summer 2010!

Happy Birthday Nash!

As said by every mother before me, I can't believe my baby is one already! Our well-loved kids (some may call them spoiled) seem to have birthday weeks rather then days. First, Nash had a birthday party, complete with cake and presents, at daycare. Birthday dinner with us, including ice cream sundaes. Another birthday party with all our friends and their kids (tons of great gifts and a special dump truck cake). In addition, gifts arrived by mail intermittently, officially making it a week long birthday celebration! Needless to say, Julie June is now eagerly awaiting her birthday in July - unfortunately a long way off for a two year old.

Right on time, Nash has also started walking! His new mobility has gotten him into some spills and has lead to his already-off-the-chart-head being bruised and swollen in several spots.

Nash constantly giggles at his big silly sister. However, much of the time the feelings are not returned from JJ, especially since Nash has also started pinching and pushing her back. As Nash gets bigger though, they play better and better together; it will also be easier when Julie's "mine stage" passes:)

Julie talks non-stop these days; if you would like to be on her call list let us know - we always need volunteers! (Or, if you need removed;) She will take you around and show you her room and her owies (sp?) because she thinks the phone works like Skype. When I try to get the phone back she will tell me, "Mom! I am working! I not even kidding!" So don't plan on talking to anyone but her when she calls! Lately she is also very interested in what letters/words say. She asks, "What this say?" and usually she'll remember. She also remembers not-so-lady-like words she accidently hears! Although Aunt Kendra has taught her a few of those, she also taught her to read her first book, (term used loosely - it's actually more like memorizing and using picture cues:).

Sorry the pictures are out of order; still familiarizing myself with posting!

More Christmas Break videos

Here are a few more videos from our trip. (again, we forgot the camera, so all we have are videos.) Make sure you pause the music to the right:)

Nasher's little giggle and his dimples get me every time:)

Julie June and Nash riding "Little Red" at Terra's parents ranch. Julie renamed him "princess pony." By the way, Nash borrowed Julie's coat; we don't ususally dress him in pink:)

Dad thought it looked like so much fun, that he decided to try:)

We raced Julie in her new Barbie Car from Grandpa Mike and TT

Emily and I going down the sled hill

Here is Nash working on walking. He also transistioned from army crawl to real crawl on this day. He is now taking a few steps on his own and can stand on his own for a long time (usually his giggling makes him fall over:)

Trev and Bry wanted to go to Steamboat, but instead they built a ramp on the snowhill to practice their jumps. Here are their best tries!

Wyo Christmas

We are enjoying a white Wyoming for Christmas break. We forgot our camera (typical), so this is the Willoughby half of our holiday; we spent the first half in Glenrock with my Dad and Terra's family (so more pictures to come).
Julie June is loving the snow and she is borrowing a pair of snow boots that used to belong to Emily and Trev! Mom knew eventually all those little person things would come in handy one day:) Julie got a princess bike, just like she had been asking for, complete with matching helmet and knee pads. She also received a beautiful princess night gown from Grandma June that she is wearing on the bike. She has had to do her practicing down the hallway since the 3 feet of fresh snow would be to her waist:)
Nash took two little steps from one chair to the next; then the next day he graduated from army crawl to a "real crawl." Also, since we have been here, 3 massive teeth popped through his top gums, making it a set of 5 for all the eating he continues to do! He is loving trucks and naturally knows how to make their sound effects and crash them together.

Nash man sporting the new hat that Grandma June made him! Thanks Grandmama!

Emily, Trevor, Bryan, and I decided to do some snow wrestling. It was 3 on 1 and Bryan still was able to throw us in all corners of the yard to declare his victory! We were all fairly bruised and tired, but got up the next morning and went skiing/snowboarding. Julie and Nasher stayed home with grandma Julie and kept an eye on the mountain all day for any sign of us. Thanks Grandma Julie for the fun day at Hogarock!

Trying out her princess bike in her cowgirl outfit from TT and Grandpa Mike, complete with wranglers, sparkly belt and buckle, and hot pink/black cowgirl boots.

Coloring her new princess coloring book in her other princess nightie from Aunt Kendra. The girl is OBSESSED!

Gearing up to build a snowman and "tep in it," as Julie says, with Aunt Emily.

Making sure she has the most stylish hat.

This ensemble was the winner:)
