11 months

Today Grant is 11 months old!! He is pretty much running everywhere now. He loves to get into everything...especially the fridge. Not sure why, but whatever. He also love love loves rocks! We love to play peek-a-boo and patty cake. He loves building blocks and anything he can knock over.

On Friday we had a double wedding!! Mike & Angela and Matt & Brittney were sealed in the SLC Temple. Matt & Brittney were also sealed to Brittney's son Aiden. It was such a spiritual day.

Lope licking the crumbs out of Grants hair- he loves her!

Grant is 10 months old now and starting to walk everywhere! He is still pretty unsteady and only takes 5 or 6 steps at a time, but he's getting the hang of it quickly. He's also saying "dada" and "mama" all the time which is so darling. He's got the cutest little baby voice. We spend our days taking naps together and walking up and down the sidewalks with his little walker. This last weekend we spent with family at my uncles cabin. It was so fun for Grant to be around his little second cousins and be outside in the beautiful mountains.

one plus one equals.....

Two!! That's right people, I am pregnant yet again. We are super duper excited to have another little baby in our family :) I'm not due until March, but I can't wait to spread the news. Grant will be 1 1/2 when the baby arrives which we feel is a good spacing for our kids. So far I've been feeling pretty good. We are just sooo happy that we are able to have another little blessing!

Grant is just as cute as ever :) He's a handful, that's for sure. He has his two top teeth coming in which are just so cute. He is starting to bite though...which isn't cute at all. I love waking up to his cute little face every morning excited to see what he's going to surprise me with next!

We spent last week in Bear Lake with Jeff's family. It was so much fun. His sister Jana left for the MTC today to serve in the Denmark, Copenhagen mission and then his brother Mitch is leaving in a few weeks to serve in the New Mexico, Albuquerque mission. So we had a last family trip. It was so great to spend time in the sunshine by the lake. We went boating, which Grant LOVED! He loved the wind in his face. We did wake surfing, which is so much better than any other water sport (because it's so easy to get up and stay up!) We took a trip to the Minnetonka Cave which was pretty cool and just basically soaked up the sun.

The Sunday after Bear Lake, Jana and Mitch had a double farewell. Jana left this morning, but Mitch has a few more weeks. They are going to be great missionaries. We are going to miss them so much, especially when the new baby is here. Thank goodness for modern technology! We can email and exchange pictures so they won't miss too much. 

I'm too lazy to put the pictures in order, but here are a few of our last week or so!! Love you all :)

8 months and sunny St. George

Grant is 8 months old now! It's so fun seeing his personality develop. He is such a busy body. He loves to climb on to everything and loves to eat whatever we are eating. No more baby food for him!!We were able to visit my family down in St. George this last weekend for the 4th of July! It was a blast. Matt and Mike proposed to their girlfriends...who so happen to be sisters! They are the sweetest girls and we love them to death. We are also excited to have Aiden as a part of our family too. He's such a cutie. It's going to be a double wedding (ho
w fun is that???) sometime in September or October...i think. Matt also gave Aiden a baby blessing on Sunday. It was sooo sweet. We love the Neve family and are so excited for the twins!!

I love KSL classifieds...

No, I didn't purchase this dress from KSL. It's actually a dress from Anthropologie that I bought off of eBay. I did however use the money that I made from selling some old things using KSL to buy this beauty. I can't wait to try it on...hope it fits :)

My life is now complete!

I love to try new recipes...and my favorite place to find those new recipes is the yummy blog Our Best Bites. Today I made Spicy Honey Chicken...my life is now complete. This is now my new favorite dish. Jeff isn't really a salad person so he just ate the chicken with potatoes. I on the other hand went all out and made the salad and dressing to go along with it...yummy! I wish we had left-overs because writing about it makes my mouth water! Another recipe we love from this blog is the Stuffed Pizza Rolls. Delish!! I've also made this Baked Chicken Penne- it's so good!! Try these recipes out and let me know what you think :)
