Alison is expecting too?

I stuck a balloon from my baby shower under Alison's dress and she thought it was so fun to pretend to be like mommy!

Us in the desert between Yuma and Phoenix!

While we were traveling to Phoenix to drop Jeremy off for his airplaine ride home, we passed a bunch of cacti and thought it would be fun to take some pictures of us with the cactus background! Kaylee was being rather stubborn, which explains her funny-looking scrunched up face!

She's still got it!

As many of you know, ever since she was a baby, Alison has had a knack for growling. She doesn't growl very much these days unless prompted to do so. Here is a hilarious video of her talk-growling! You can tell she just loves the attention! Her growl just sounds so cute with her sweet little girl voice!

Pictures from our vacation in Idaho & Utah.

Put together the puzzle to see this adorable picture!

What I look like now at 7 months!

So, here is a picture of me almost 30 weeks along. Some say I only look 5 month's pregnant, but I sure don't feel like 5 months! (By the way, that water spot on my back is NOT sweat, it is from a water balloon HONEST!)

Locked out!!!

We just recently came back from a short trip to northern California to see Justin's youngest sister, Natalie get sealed in the Sacramento Temple to Marshall Haymore. The morning before she got married, Justin's parent's accidentally got their keys locked in their car in Yuba City. Below is a picture of Justin and his dad trying to break in their van. We eventually had to call the tow truck and he saved us. We luckily got to the temple in time!!! Everything turned out wonderfully in the end!

Too tired to eat!

While we were eating dinner at my mom's house, Alison was falling asleep. I couldn't pass up the opportunity to record this little video of her nodding off. Don't worry, I put her down for a nap shortly after I shot this video and she had a nice late nap and felt much better afterwords! It's hard to put kids down for naps when you are on vacation!

Dress up

When we were visiting Grandma and Grandpa a week or so ago, Grandma played dress up with the kids. They had fun dressing up in Grandma and Grandpa's clothes.

Daddy's little helper!

Here is a cute picture I took of Alison helping Justin clean the gas tanks that he found for his truck at a junk yard the other day. She loves being with her daddy and getting dirty!
