Cousins...

Our little Miss is not quite 11 months old and walking. It's sad but true. We took her to Grandma Tami's house this weekend to spend some time with her cousin Natalie, who's getting ready to celebrate her 1st birthday. We went to a parade, the girls shared a cupcake, played at the park, and splashed in the fountains. It was fun to see the girls together, they are growing up so fast.

Bikes



Matt and I recently got bikes to ride around our neighborhood. Little Lilia loves getting in her seat and heading out for an evening ride.

Ensign Ranch


Getting ready to hit the road from Grandma's house

We went for our first family camping trip since Lilia's arrival and boy was it an adventure! We didn't actually camp in a tent, but opted for a small cabin at Ensign Ranch with nothing more than two lights and a microwave. We enjoyed the great outdoors and each other's company for three days and two nights. Kaine told some excellent ghost stories, went off a rope swing, and enjoyed a huge slip n slide. Lilia swam with the leaches, I know I feel like a horrible mother, her first camping trip she had two leaches on her, had I known there were leaches we wouldn't have been in the water, everything turned out fine. We watched the chipmunks, hiked around, skipped some rocks, and ate marshmallows until we couldn't eat another. We had a wonderful time together at Ensign Ranch and are looking forward to the rest of our summer's adventures. After our camping trip Kaine went to stay with his mom for the summer. We will be thinking about him, but hope he is enjoying his time with his mom and his cute new baby brother. We love our Kaine.
