Random

I know I just posted yesterday and it is SO not like me to post this soon after but I'm throwing that out the window. Just kidding. I just thought while I was on checking peoples blogs I may as well post, right? These are just some random pictures of our family this summer that I wanted to throw on here. But can I just say, I absolutely love my little family. I have the best husband who is always happy and willing to help me. And my girls are fantastic! Emma and Maggie are such happy, silly girls and they are so much fun. Ironically, after I finished typing that sentence, Maggie went into fit-mode. She wanted a sucker and I said no. No worries, I still think that she's an awesome little girl!

Sorry I'm not going to write something on each picture, so just enjoy them. I wish I had so many more pictures to put on here. Pictures of friends, and all of our family. Maybe this will encourage me to take more pictures.

Third Eye Crew

This is such a funny picture of Emma, I just had to post it. We were at Harmon's doing some grocery shopping and she was bending down to look at some fireworks. When she stood up she walked right into one of the metal signs that says "20 items or less". She had this gash on her forehead, but I'm not sure it hurt right away. She just started laughing and of course we teased her about it. When she got home and looked in the mirror she kinda got a little worried, so we slapped a band-aid on it. Nick was good enough to draw an eye on it to make it funny. You can tell from the picture that she wasn't too distraught about it. But Nick also put a band-aid on his head to make her feel better and so she drew an eye on him. What a good Dad!

Catching up

I've been slacking so much with this blog, I'm not sure how I'll get everything caught up. Oh well, here it goes! The summer has been a lot more crazy than I would like, it's slipping by so fast! I've been really busy just trying to stay on top of keeping our house clean and ready for showing. The only problem is that not many people have come. It's a little frustrating, but we realize the market is a little nuts right now. I have to admit that it's been nice to have my house always clean and looking so nice, but then I get frustrated when the girls take stuff out and make a mess. I just have to remind myself that we do still live here and that it's all just part of the game. But Nick and I did recently take a little vacation to St George with 2 other couples, no kids! It was great. Kelly was sweet enough to take our girls for the weekend. We headed down on Thursday and came back on Saturday. It was a short jam packed trip. Friday we got to go boating at Sand Hollow, my first time there, it was beautiful. The weather was great and there weren't very many people there so we had a lot of fun. Sadly, I forgot to take pictures. Sorry! When we got back, we jumped right back into the water!

Me, Emma, Maggie, Aly, Cole and the Schiess Twins went swimming at Draper pool on Monday.

Wednesday we went to classic.

Thursday we went to South Jordan Rec Center with Megan, Whitney & Brynn.

Friday back to Classic with the whole Cook clan, Kelly, Garrett & Averie & the Ruttenbur family. We have been swimming all week and I know my girls have been loving it! I'm sure you've noticed that Emma isn't anywhere to be found in these pictures. But please don't worry, I knew where she was and she was always safe, but never still enough for a picture. She didn't think she had time to stop and smile, too much to do...too little time. But I can always count on Maggie being there, she loves the camera! Saturday night we went to my cousin, Cami's, reception. It was in her Aunt's backyard and was beautiful! Emma had so much fun dancing the whole time with Cami's friends. And we had a lot of fun chatting with all of the relatives. My Grandma even caught the bouquet. She swears she's going to marry her boyfriend Reldon. The great part about that story is that he doesn't even know he's her boyfriend and I'm sure would be floored to know she's thinking of marrying him. Grandma....always good for a laugh. Over all, we've had a great summer, so far..... :)

Maggie's Birthday

I can't believe that Maggie is 2! It's truly amazing how fast our little ones grow up. We just had Emma's birthday in May and I was remembering when she was born and what a fun baby she was and is now such a grown up girl. Now I'm doing the same for my Mag-pie! She's finally 2 and ready to start that fun stage, the TERRIBLE TWO'S. I'm really not looking forward to that. She's such a cute and silly little girl. She loves to tease and be teased and loves to play games. She still isn't talking a whole lot yet, but she's seemed to learn quickly to tell Emma to stop crying and go to her room. It's pretty funny. Every little girl is either Emma or Ana, her little friend. I've loved being able to be home while going through the baby stuff with Maggie. I missed a lot of that with Emma having to work. She is such a special little girl and is such a blessing in our lives. We love you lots little Mag-pie! Happy Birthday!!!
