Anniversary

8 Years ago I married the best man for me.  Since then we have...

• lived in 3 different towns
• lived in 4 different houses
• had 3 kids
• changed majors 5 times
• gone through 6 cars

It's been a great 8 years and I look forward to many more memories together.

For our Anniversary this year Clint made arrangements for a babysitter and took me to the SLC Temple.  A few days later he took me to a movie and out to dinner.  He made me a great breakfast and cleaned the house for me also.  I was really spoiled this year.  It was great to spend time with JUST him, that doesn't happen very often.

We have a crawler

On July 14th Corbin started crawling.  He is so proud of himself and we've already had to pull him out of the bathroom a dozen times after finding him pulled up to the toilet trying to play in the water.

What's growing in your garden?

We are getting lots of great produce from our garden this year.

Against the back wall the vines that are growing are pole beans

One of 4 heads of broccoli

Our cucumbers

Straight yellow sqaush

Tomato plants

Yellow peppers waiting to turn

Tiger tomatoes

Celebrity Tomatoes

Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes

Garlic

Raspberries our neighbors planted

So far we have eaten 4 cucumbers, 1 squash, 4 heads of broccoli and a hand full of sun sugars. In a few more days I expect to have a couple more heads of broccoli, a few more tomatoes, a couple more cucumbers, a zucchini and another squash.  We are getting ready to harvest our garlic and I'll replant our carrots in a few more weeks.

Painting

One day Clint brought home 4 pieces of sheet rock, "I'm going to paint these," he said.  Fast forward 2 years and he finally decided to get them out from behind my couch and do something with them.  "Kaily, Conner do you want to paint with me?"  Here is what happened.

They got tired of using a paint brush so they moved onto using their hands.

9 Months old

At 9 months I am 19 lbs, 28 inches tall.  I'm only in the 30%  of average category, but average for my family.  I LOVE food and will eat just about anything.  I like to play with my sister and cuddle with my brother.  I think they are the funniest people ever.  My favorite meat is Chicken, favorite fruit is any of it and favorite veggies are sweet potatoes and green beans.  I don't like carrots still and I don't care for the cereals.  I DO like to eat whatever my parents are eating and insist that I can do it myself.  I also like yogurt.

I LOVE to be outside and I enjoy it when I get pushed in the swing.  I don't like loud noises, but the vacuum is okay as long as it's my mom pushing it.  I like to shake my head no and I LOVE bath time.  I like to make noise with anything that I can bang together.  I still nurse and I still don't like to sleep alone.  I take 3-4 hr naps twice a day still and I like to go to bed at 9pm, if you wait too long after 9 I'll let you know by screaming at you.  I'm pretty chill most of the time but I don't like to be left alone.  I can say, "Mama and Dada."  I LOVE to play peak-a-boo and to be read to.  I don't have any teeth yet, but that doesn't stop me from trying to eat anything I can get my hands on.  I wear size 6-12 month clothes or 6-9 month.  I wear a size 3 diaper.
