Navy and Gigi are just under two months apart. They had a play date this last Friday and they are at the age where they are starting to interact with each other. Gigi a little more so than Navy but they are going to be the best of friends as they continue to grow.

Jack and Navy BFFs

Navy gets her swim on!

Friday hit 100degrees! Which definitely called for a swim. We were excited to see how Navy would like the water and she loved it. She's a natural when Dallan had her on her stomach she kicked her legs. The water was a little cold (we thought it was going to be heated) but she loved it the whole time.

Audrey's Baptism

My aunt and cousin made this quilt it's darling!

My niece Audrey was baptized on March 12th. I can't believe she's 8! It was a wonderful day and I'm for Audrey and her choice to be baptized she's the cutest newly baptized member of the church I know! Love you Podgey!

Navy Eats Solids

On Navy's 6month birthday we started her on solids, well brown rice cereal. She has enjoyed her new cereal. Since then she also has had oatmeal and barley. Barley is her favorite of the three. I'm going to start her on green veggies this week. About week and half into to solids she had a little bit of a nursing strike. She would nurse at 4am then not want to eat again until 3pm. Talk about a stressful couple of weeks. I was having to pump to relief pressure and to keep up my supply but she's back to her normal eating schedule so both Mom and Navy are happy.

Moving Day

Dallan's brother Brandon lived with us from mid July to the beginning of January. He had just moved back from Dental school in Kentucky and was hoping to sell his house there before getting something here. With the crummy market he hasn't sold his house in KY but he was ready for a place of his own. So we all helped in move around the corner. He moved to the apartments that are in our ward which is fun and he still gets to see Navy at least once a week. She really likes her uncle Brandon. It's crazy to think that the 3 years we've lived in this house we have cumulatively had people living with us for a year of the three years. My sister, her husband Luke, son Finley and her two horses. JK 2 dogs. Lived with us for January to July the year prior to Brandon living with us. Anyone else need a place to live? HA!

Cousins

Birth Order

Em with the 3 girls

Two of my cousins came just before thanksgiving with their babies. 4 babies were born within 5 months of each other 3 girls and a boy. We got some fun pics of the babies and the babies with their moms.

Navy's First Ocean Experience

At the end of January my sisters (Annie and Amy) and I went to Cali for a couple of days with our chicklets. Amy's MIL gave us their time share to use so off we went. We had ocean view rooms and were just a short walk to the beach so we walked down to play. Navy got to feel the sand between her toes and a little FREEZING ocean water. She just took a deep breath when she felt the cold it was funny and cute. Turner and Finley were running up to the waves as close as they could get before they got too scared and on one wave they misunderestimated the power of it and knoked Turner down (we're talking a 3inch ripple) but he couldn't get up fast enough and another "wave" rolled up and got him again before Amy could get him standing it was HILARIOUS we were laughing so hard and Eliza was not having it, it freaked her out and she didn't want us laughing at her brother who thought it was funny too! haha oh man good times! Here are some pics of Navy and the ocean.

Gilbert Temple Groundbreaking

On Saturday Dallan Navy and I headed over to the Gilbert temple groundbreaking ceremony. I thought it would be good experience and I especially wanted Navy to be a part of it. Even though she's too young to know or remember she'll be able to say she was there at the beginning and maybe someday she'll be sealed in the Gilbert temple. The program and music were beautiful and I can't wait for the temple to be finished. What a a blessing to have a temple so close to our home. It's going to be beautiful!

Navy's Blessing Day

Dallan blessed Navy on November 7, 2010. It was a wonderful day. Dallan gave her a very sweet and beautiful blessing, it was followed by a wonderful testimony meeting. We are so grateful for family support and all those that came to be with us on Navy's day. I'm also grateful to be married to Dallan and that he is worthy to hold the priesthood it is such a blessing in our home. After the meeting we went to my parents house with both sides of the family for a nacho bar it was tasty! After the blessing on the food Dallan said he didn't get to show Navy off like he wanted to, he proceeded to lift her in the air and I belted out "The Circle of Life" everybody died laughing! We had practiced that earlier in the morning. (good idea Dallan) it was pretty funny. Here are some pictures from her special day.
