Hair cuts and birthdays

My mom gave Finn his first hair cut before I had his birthday pictures taken... He was so good the whole time loving all the attention being on him!




Here is pose at the end of the haircut... I think he was feeling pretty cool!
Sophie couldn't miss out on the action...even though she doesn't have much hair Mumsie still combed it and put some hairspray in it to make her pretty!

Finn had no problems diving right into his cake!


I can't believe that a whole year has past and that my babies are ONE! They are so precious and fun, they keep me on my toes and make my life so fulfilling! I am so grateful to have such sweet babies! I am excited about the next year to come to watch Sophie and Finn grow and learn even more! Happy birthday my darlings I love you!!!

So here it is just a few quick pics of the house! This has been such a long process.. but things are finally settling down and it is starting to feel more and more like home! There is still a lot of work that needs to be done (as you can tell in the pics!) but slowly but surely we will get it all done! Thanks for being patience I promise more frequent updating from now on!

I just was so sick of the last post so I thought I would hurry and throw up these pictures.. We went up to Snowbird to see all the bikers in the tour of Utah race... Which my talented brother also participated in and did very well!! Octoberfest was going on at the same time so we couldn't pass up lots of yummy German food and a good time!
Stay tuned for house and birthday pictures!!

Jackson

Audy ventured off on a guys trip to Jackson. They ran the river (which no one got pictures of!) they fished and camped and tried to find wildlife.. He came home a new man, he has been working like crazy on our house and it was a well deserved vacation..(even though it wasn't the best timing for me!)


The Whole gang
3 Elk... apparently this was the extent of the wild life they saw.. Audy was really disappointed he didn't see a bear! Bald Eagle
Audy and his cousin Pat
They ate pretty well... I was quite impressed with their tin foil dinner skills!
Here is audy with the only fish caught on the trip.. small but they ate it anyway!
Audy doing what he loves most!
Zach, Audy and Mike.

I promise the next post will pictures of the house!

Swimming

I got a very fabulous pool from Costco for my birthday and it has been so much fun for me and the kids to have somewhere to play while the house was getting ready for us to move into! Sophie and Finn love the water and love to go swimming... they are my little water babies!

For my brother's birthday we went up big cottonwood canyon for a weenie roast and cake and ice cream! So much fun to be in the great mountains of Utah with none other than my wonderful family!

This is Trevor my big brother on his birthday
