goings on

We are getting ready to head out of town for a few days. First we are going to Las Vegas to try to relax and hang out at the pool. And then we are getting together with Tom's family. We have a niece and a nephew that we haven't met yet and we haven't seen everyone else in ages. Harper is so excited she keeps asking when she's going to get to see her cousins. She even helped me make some little presents for them and has been walking around the apartment saying, "These are for my cousins, I'm going to give these to my cousins." She's going to have a blast.

Jonah pulled himself up to standing for the first time yesterday.  He was trying to get to the ipad and was so incredibly pleased with himself.  He just kept giggling.

Lately Harper insists on being called Cinderella and is enjoying playing dress up and walking around the house wearing shoes that do not belong to her.  She also insists on wearing a dress all of the time.

Wednesday was our first ward BBQ of the year.  During the summer we have a potluck BBQ every Wednesday night in the ball field behind our building and it is one of my favorite things about our ward. There is lots of room for the kids to run around and a little playground.

Harper threw a fit when we had to go home and has asked to go to the BBQ several times since.  It's a good thing there are still plenty of BBQs left this year :)
