7 Months

Clark has been so cute, and has learned so much.  He has learned to feed himself the Gerber fruit puffs.  He still does the army crawl, and he is now getting pretty fast at getting around.  He does push up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth, but he would rather be on his tummy.  He also likes to play peek-a-boo!  What a cute guy! 

Disneyland Trip

We went to Disneyland and California Adventure on May 26th and 27th with the Skidmore's.  We had a fun time!  Brady was excited because he was finally tall enough to go on most of the rides.  The Tea Cups used to be his favorite ride, but now his favorite rides were the roller coasters (The Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain, and Space Mountain).  He thought it was cool that he could go on rides that Logan couldn't!  Brady also loved the Jedi Training Academy.  He was chosen to be a youngling so that he could train to be a Jedi Knight!  He had fun defeating Darth Vader!

Logan's favorite ride was going on the carossel with Grandpa Skidmore.  He was scared to go on most rides, but Grandpa helped him overcome his fear.  Nani went with Abby and Logan on their first Roller Coaster.  They were tall enough for the roller coaster in Toon Town.  Logan had fun, but he was scared to go at first.

Clark's first Disneyland Trip!

Clark was a trooper.  He was sick for part of the trip, but hung in there!  He even acted like he was having fun by cracking a smile every once in a while.

Pre-School Graduation Program

Brady did great in the program!  It was so cute to hear him sing the songs he learned in pre-school!  He loved going to pre-school and seeing his teacher, Miss Joy!  Now he is excited for Kindergarten!  His favorite thing to say these days is, "Mom, what time am I going to start Kindergarten?"  I always say, "The end of August."  I can't believe my little Brady is growing up!!

On The Go!!

Clark went to the doctor last week for his 6 month check up, and he is healthy!  He weighed 16 lbs. 1 oz., 25.5 inches long, and his head circumference is 17 inches.  He went from just below the 3rd percentile to just above the 10th percentile.  He cut his first tooth, and he is definately mobile!  We put him in the grass, and he loved it, but the grass irritated his sensitive skin a little bit.  He was trying to eat the grass and dirt!  He is definately all boy!  When he gets excited about something, he just can't get there fast enough!  He first acts like he's swimming on the floor by his tummy being on the floor while his arms and legs are moving so fast.  Then he starts doing the army crawl.  Sometimes he pushes up on his hands and knees and rocks back and forth.  He can get to anywhere he wants to go!   

Fun at the Park

It was a beautiful day!  We went to the park by Grandma and Grandpa Gibson's house, and visited with the Bishop's.  They just finished renevating the park.  They took out all the sand.  It was nice to not have sand in our shoes.  The boys had fun playing with their cousin, Gavin.  Clark and Ellie hung out in their strollers looking cute.  The baby swings were not put back on yet.  It was a fun afternoon! 

Happy Mother's Day!

It was a great day that started with breakfast in bed.  The young women in our ward was doing a fund raiser, and they put together the breakfast in a box.  The boys were so excited to bring it to me in the morning.  It had a ham and cheese sandwich on a cresent roll, blueberry muffin, grapes, chocolate covered strawberries, and apple juice.  Brady made me a card at Pre-School on Thursday.  I put it up to enjoy it, and Brady said, "Mom, can I have that card?"  I said, "Why?"  Then Brady said, "Because Miss Joy told us to hide it."  I kept it up anyway.  I also got flowers and pudding snack packs from the boys.  This was the first Mother's Day that the boys really got into it.  Vance made a wonderful dinner, and Stacey, Kiley, Burke and Germania, and his mom and dad came over.  Vance also got up with Clark at 6 a.m. so that I could sleep in.  I really appreciate all mothers and all they do.  I am blessed to have a good husband and three wonderful boys.  I am also thankful for my mom and everything she has taught me in my life.   

PBS&J Company Picnic

We went to Vance's company picnic.  It was at Mission Hills Park in Henderson, NV.  They had hamburgers and hotdogs, and plenty of other food.  It was a beautiful day, and the boys wanted to play on the splash pad.  I thought it was too cold for the water, but the boys didn't care.  They had fun anyway.  They also had a guy making balloon animals and swords, and doing face painting.  Logan wanted a balloon lightsaber, but Brady wasn't around for the balloon guy.  Brady was over jumping on the bounce house, and going down slides.  Logan soon went over to join Brady at the bounce house.  The boys had fun!

Father and Sons Outing

Vance took Brady and Logan on the Father and Sons Outing, up to Mount Potosi.  The boys were so excited that as soon as they woke up Friday morning, they started packing.  They were ready to go by 9:00am, and they didn't need to leave until 4:30pm.  Brady was ready to go with his lego star wars pajamas, stuffed animals, and toys.  Logan was ready to go with a bunch of underwear (even though he's Not potty trained), and toys.  Needless to say, I had to go through their backpacks and tell them what they really needed to bring.  They were so excited to sleep in a tent, but they came back saying that it was freezing.  Brady says that his favorite part of the outing was setting up the tent, roasting marshmellows, and playing with his friend, Trevor.  They were not allowed to build a fire, but they could use charcoal so that they could roast marshmellows.  They had a great time, but not much sleep!  They both fell asleep on the way home Saturday morning!  They love their Dad!
