This Summer

Time has gone by so fast. I will try to get our pictures up this weekend. I have just been super busy lately. Things should start to slow down a little bit, even with Danielle running around!

We had a great trip to Utah. Next time we will try to make it longer. We never have enough time to see everyone. We miss you all so much! Watch for some updates. Love, Heidi.

Danielle's 1st Birthday!

Danielle had her first birthday! I cannot believe how fast this year has gone. It seems like I just sorted out the clothes for Danielle to wear and the next thing I know is I am taking them back out again. Clothes should last longer than that, right!?!

Danielle has been such a blessing to us. She is so playful and so happy all the time! Except on her birthday-when her "mom" set up a doctor's appt. and she had to get four shots! That was really bad timing on my part but she did good. There were a few tears but over all, once she had some cake, she was happy as can be!

Ashlee had picked out this cute whale for her. She fell in love with it immediately. She loves animals, just like her sister, mom, and her Grandma Heslop. She can "pant" like a dog, "oink" like a pig, and "moo" like a cow! She loves to wrestle and she loves books. She is doing great at her baby signs; she can tell me that she wants a banana, ball, or drink, and many more things. She has taken a few steps but is really hesitant about doing it by herself. It may be a few more months before she decides to be independent; which is okay with us. We are in no hurry.

I cannot imagine life with out our little Danielle, or our little Ashlee. They have made our family whole. We are so blessed to have each other forever. Happy birthday Danielle. We love you so much!

Lets go to the Beach!

Ashlee had her spring performance in School. She did such a great job! She has no fear being up in front of people. She definitely got that from her Daddy! The teachers did an amazing job at making the stage look like a beach. They sang three songs then we got to see pictures they had collected through out the year. I am so sad that Ashlee will be changing teachers next year but excited for her to learn more.

Baby Danielle

Danielle is almost one year old already! Time goes by so fast. She has been very busy. Lately her thing has been walking holding onto things, crawling up the stairs, climbing onto anything that resembles a step or platform, loving her big huge duck or puppy, throwing temper tantrums when she can't have something she wants, and growling anytime she feels is best (not necessarily meaning she's mad). She has been so much fun and is so playful. If you lay down on the floor, she comes after you! Her laugh is the best sound in the world.

Bath time.

The easiest way we can give Danielle baths now is in the kitchen sink!
