May 2017: Everyday

Only 2 posts per month and I'm already falling behind!

We finally started putting Roman in his crib to sleep....It was a nightmare the resulted in him returning to the rock'n'play sleeper.

Quick stop to see the trains at Union Station!

Made these magnets for a handout on Mother's Day at church.

Just coloring!

Those legs!

A short, disastrous hike! Hattie wasn't having it.

My uncle, Todd, sent us a flash drive of pictures from Easter. Hattie looked through them with me and asked where Pippin (Todd's dog) was? I texted her response to Todd. He didn't answer, but these pictures came in the mail a few days later!

Roman's first time in a high chair at a restaurant.

Visiting dad at work!

Hattie picked this huge, perfect peony for me!

I found Baby Cinderella just chillin' in the stand up toy.

A trip to the zoo!  We always love to see the elephants- thinking of you Henry!

Hattie wanted her picture taken with all the animal statues, not the actual animals.

A card I made!

She loves her 'big girl' bike!  She's already much improved.

Playing with/watching his big sis!

What waits just outside the bathroom for me:

This was too cute, I had to take a picture!  We sat in a circle in Relief society and the babies had a party in the middle.  Adorable!

Father's Day card for card club!

Soccer! My friend Stefanie did a few weeks of soccer for kids in the neighborhood and Hattie LOVED it!

Videos!  Forgive if I've already posted some of these:

Roman clapping!

Roman sliding!

Roman answering some questions (Hattie is the best!!!)

Hattie on her big girl bike!

Hattie REALLY wanted me to record this big jump.

May 2017: Highlights

Roman turned 6 months old!  I have loved this half year with my little buddy!  He makes life better.  He continues to get better at sitting, loves trying new food, and is making more noises.  Sometimes he'll say "mamamamamama" so I'm pretty sure I'm his favorite :)  He also started clapping!  

At his 6 month appointment he clocked in at 19lbs 11oz and 27.5in.  Still a big guy! He loved the paper on the table at his appointment:

And he grew his first two teeth!!!  Teething has been awful...

Here he is making lots of noise!  Trying out that voice of his.

And we spent more time in Iona!  We've gone up a ton lately.  The first trip was to attend the Idaho Falls Temple open house.  It was recently remodeled.  I've never been inside before, it was beautiful and unique!  My grandparents were married in the Idaho Falls Temple 70 (!) years ago!

These two!

Our trip coincided with Mother's Day, which was wonderful.  We were able to visit Henry and get a picture with all of us!

Wearing my new shirt to church!

Kurt made the most delicious gruyere scalloped potatoes....and I dropped them!  Luckily this was after dinner.  I was so sad!

Our second trip to Iona was for Memorial Day Weekend, and my mom and Clarence were there too!

We love spending time with you Moppy!

Roman's first time on the swing at the park.  He kept watching his sister and cousins!

Hattie pushing Roman!

This is a re-creation of a photo we took 2 years ago on Memorial Day weekend, but with Kurt and Henry.  Can't believe he'd be over 2 years old!

Hattie got to drive the lawn mower all by herself!  This is a re-purposed lawn mower that my Grandpa uses to get around the yard.  I don't believe it can cut grass anymore!  Anyways- Hattie is too cute!

This boy is too cute as well!

At the cemetery to remember Grandma (and of course Henry too!) on Memorial Day.

Great grandkids!

 Sending balloons to Grandma and Henry!

Afton giving Roman shade!

Balloons to Henry!

 
Thanks for the pictures Megan!

I let him try my popsicle- he loved it!

This car track was a huge hit!  The girls loved it and Roman loved to watch the cars go around.

Coloring

I'm learning to crochet. This is the first thing I ever made!  I'm already much better :)

We found a bunch of painted rocks in Iona Square!  Made Hattie's Day!

We re-hid all but two.  Hattie kept one and we placed one on Henry's grave.

I got a curling iron!

One last ride on the lawn mower with Moppy!

It was a wonderful long weekend!
