Rock Star Baby!

This is my rock star baby! Danika loves this toy! She rocks out to it all day long. She hasn't figured out how to push the button to turn on the music yet, so instead she throws it on the floor and "asks" (or yells) for someone to turn it on. She is so funny!

Walking!

Danika is now 10 months old and she started walking last week. I'm not really surprised since she started standing up, by herself, in the middle of the room when she was 7 months old. She didn't seem to realize that she could use the furniture to stand up. So, here she is walking!

New Mayor?

So, the vote is in! Ken Smith made it past the preliminary vote with the most votes! Now, on to the final vote for Mayor! For all of you who aren't family and have no idea what I'm talking about. My father-in-law is running for mayor in our town and the preliminary vote results just came out tonight. It's an exciting thing for our small town that needs some new management.

Summer Fun

Elora and Danika Wearing the swimsuits that Grandma Laurie made for them.
Bonnie and Makella came to visit us for a week. The Girls had fun playing in the pool together.
We had fun taking Bonnie around our area. We went to the beach with just the girls(and Zach). We went to some shops, had lunch and then just sat on the beach and relaxed.
We also took Bonnie to the SW WA Fair. We saw all the animals and exibits and Zach and Elora went on this boat swing ride. Elora LOVED it! Zach wasn't too sure about it at first. He's so silly! We had lots of fun! Thanks for coming Bonnie and Makella!

Danika's Silly Face

Danika is so funny! She has been making this silly "snorty face" . It's so funny when she does it! She had the people sitting behind us at church laughing out loud in the middle of sacrament because of her "snorty face". Soooo Funny! Oh, she also loves to growl as you can tell from this video.

Beauty all Around

I just had to share this beautiful sunset we had on Monday! We have had rain for a week straight. So it was perfect that this sunset signaled the end of the rain! It has been sunny since! (This is the view from our front porch! I love our porch!)

More Vacation!

So, I know that I already uploaded this picture! But it's not there and I don't want Nick and Rachel to feel left out, so here are Codee, Nick and Rachel! (and Grandma Lowe in the background! Silly girl!)

I just have to say that we had tons of fun in CA! (Thanks again Mom & Dad for letting us take over your house for a week) Every day since we've been home Zach has asked "I really liked it at CA. When can we go again?" I also need to send a special thanks to Aunt Wendy, who spent the time and had the patience to get Zach used to the water! This was a major accomplishment! Thank You Wendy!! Zach has been telling everyone that he can swim now! He is quite proud of himself!
