Another Excuse for Cake

We finally had Abby blessed on Sunday. We figured that she should be blessed before she crawled up to the pulpit and bore her own testimony! Anyhow, since Belle's birthday is on the 22nd, I just celebrated both occasions the same day since all the fam would be around. Abby barely fit into the slip my grandma made to go under the dress for her sisters; I suppose it wasn't made for a 4-month old. Belle loves Nemo and I was so proud of myself when I made her cake. It was a bonus when Belle knew who it was. We had a great time and it's always nice to have an excuse to have family around.

Good,"Clean" Fun

We decided to go camping since we don't live too far from some camp areas. We had a great time. As you can see, Belle had fallen in the dirt about 50 times while we were there. It was comical to watch her because she kept getting more and more black with dirt. Abby loved the trip too. The next morning she didn't get up until after 9 and she usually wakes around 7. I checked in on her several times to make sure she was alright. I'm so glad the girls enjoy camping because that is something that I grew up doing when I was growing up.

Kayak Adventure

I have been promising to buy Steve a kayak for 2 years now and finally got one for him last week. It was such a great deal, we couldn't pass it up. We decided to take the girls to the reservior past Mount Timpanogos cave. Whitney loved it (I knew she would) and would beg Steve to let her out and swim. I was really shocked when Belle enjoyed it because she is so different than Whitney and gets nervous to try new things. It was a great afternoon, but came to an abrupt end when Abby decided that she had enough of the heat.
