My favorite kind of day

One of the things I miss the most since we moved to Texas last year is being able to go to my parents' house and hang out with them and my brother and his family. I love relaxing and watching the kids play with each other and with Grandma and Grandpa. It just makes me happy. This past Sunday, we all went to church with my parents, then headed back to their house to take a family picture and spend the rest of the day together. It may not seem like such a big deal, but I really miss it.

The Wedding

Adam's brother Kacy married his lovely bride Krissy yesterday afternoon. We are so glad we were able to come up to Washington for the wedding. I loved the cherry blossom theme, it was beautiful!

Congratulations to Kacy and Krissy! You have both come a long way in the years you have known each other and we are so proud of both of you. We are so glad we could be part of this special day!

2 months old!

Lucy turned 2 months old last weekend. Her two-month check up was today, and she passed with flying colors. She
weighs 11lbs, 11oz now and is 22.5 inches long. She also had to get her first round of shots today, and she was NOT a fan. (But really, who is?) She had some sore legs this afternoon, but after a dose of infant Tylenol, she calmed down. She is generally such a happy, smiley baby. She is starting to make cooing sounds and talk to us, which is adorable. She is getting stronger and stronger everyday and is getting much better at holding her head steady. She eats great and sleeps for 6-8 hours at night, which is WONDERFUL! Josh has really started to warm up to her and calls her Baby. Never Lucy, just Baby. He looks for her when we get up in the morning, and if she is crying, he has a concerned sound to his voice as he says, "Ba-by." We love her so much and are so glad she can be part of our family.

(BTW, there are a ton more pictures in our Picasa web album. Clicky here to see all the cuteness.)

Looking for a laugh?

Then you need to play this game. We played it at a game night last night with some friends in our ward, and it is hilarious! I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I had tears in my eyes at one point. Hoo-boy, it was good times. Here's a link to how you play and you can read some reviews. It's a great game to play with a group, big or small. Anyway, check it out if you have the chance. You'll be rolling on the floor in no time!
