Pool Time

Drake loves to go swimming.  Here are some pictures from the other afternoon.

Surprise!

Its official.  I am pregnant!

(and no, it was not an accident : )

My Latest Creation

I recently made this for my sister and thought I'd share the photos. If anyone is having a baby let me know, I'd love to make another one.

So Exciting

See Drake smile.

See Drake squeal.

See Drake laugh.

Looking Out the Window

One of Drakes new favorite things to do is stand on the couch and look out the window.

I love this picture, and his leg rolls.

Breaking Dawn

I've decided to no longer deny that I am just a little obsessed with the Twilight series.

Breaking Dawn will be released at midnight tomorrow,

but before then, I'd like to hear your theories.

(this gives me something to think about until then)

Here's mine:

Edward and Bella marry.

Before Bella can turn vampire, Jacob kidnaps her,

forcing the vampires and wolves to fight.

In the end, Jacob dies and

Bella finally becomes a vampire.

Your turn.

New High Chair

Thanks Grandma Mary for the new high chair! Drake loves it and also loves the overalls you gave him. They don't give him a big wedgie like his old ones : )

Niagra Falls & Palmyra

Friday afternoon we decided to take a little weekend trip. It was great to see the church history sites and see where our religion started.

Here are our pictures from Niagara Falls and the Church History sites in Palmyra, NY.

Drake standing next to the stinkiest duck pond I've ever smelled. (Seriously, I gagged)

Lake Ontario, the stinkiest lake I've ever smelled (worse than the pond)

Sweaty baby at Niagara Falls

Way too close to the edge

This is the setup for the Hill Cumorah pageant. (I know its blurry, oh well) It wasn't so bad to say I wish I had that hour and a half back of my life, but it wasn't the best production ever. I will say that I admire all the hard work from volunteers that goes into putting it on.

Johnny pretending to lift the rock covering the gold plates (he made me take like, 10 photos to make sure to get a good one. Why? I don't know)

Drake in front of the Joseph Smith farm, napping.

Phillies Game

We went to our first Phillies game a few weeks ago and had a great time. We've decided to become baseball fans (as long as the team is doing well... : )

Frank introduced us to Crab Fries, and for that I will be eternally grateful

8th inning bottle, yum.

Entrepreneur

Congrats to my handsome husband for being featured in Entrepreneur Magazine with D & B. Looks like all that hard work is paying off!

Riding our bikes through Valley Forge

The 4th of July

For the 4th of July we went into Philadelphia for their annual concert and firework show.  We had a lot of fun in the rain listening to The Jersey Clicks (?) and John Legend.  Drake LOVED the fireworks and Johnny and I had a great time playing with Drake and listening to music.  

Just hanging out in the rain waiting for John Legend

Drake wouldn't look away from the fireworks for the picture.
