Funny Brady

Brady got this jester hat last Christmas, and he didn't like it at first.  Then he started playing Lego Batman on the Wii.  One of the characters in the game has a hat like this, and so he decided that it is a cool hat.  He wore it around the house all the time, and he wanted to show everyone his cool hat.  He is such a funny kid.  What a funny stage!

9 Months

Clark is 26 inches in height, weighs 18 lbs 11 ounces, and his head circumference is 17 1/2 inches.  He started the regular crawl two weeks ago.  His favorite thing to do is to pull up on these red chairs, and use them as his walker.  It is so cute! 

Swimming Lessons for Logan

I was a little nervous to put Logan in swimming lessons because I thought that he would make a big scene and not want to go in the water.  At the beginning of the summer, he was afraid to go past the first stair.  The first day of swim lessons I was right, he started to throw a fit.  I told the teacher that if I leave, he will calm down.  The teacher was great with him, and he did fine the rest of the lesson.  The next day, he went right in the water.  Everytime he refused to do what the teacher asked him to do, he would set him out of the pool in a time out.  He hated that, but it helped him so much because now he is swimming all around the pool, and he loved going to his lessons.  He had such a good teacher!

Happy 4th of July!

We spent the weekend mostly at Nani and Grandpa Skidmore's house swimming, barbequeing, and visiting.  We watched the fireworks from a park near Nani's house.

8 Months

Clark can now push himself up to a sitting position, and he pulls himself up on everything stairs, couches, etc.). 

Happy Father's Day!

The boys helped me make Vance breakfast in bed.  Brady poured the cereal and the juice, and Logan helped me make the eggs and toast and pour the milk.  The boys made him some cards, and he got M&M's and an ice cream maker.  We love our DAD!

The Gibson Family Reunion

We arrived at the Gibson Reunion in Redrock, AZ at the Heflins house late on Wednesday, June 9th.  The official first day on the reunion was on Thursday, June 10th.  We spent the day at the Heflin's community pool.  Brady and Anna were best buds at the pool.  They loved going down the slides.  Logan liked the splash pad the best.  The pool had something for everyone.  Then we came back to the Heflin's house and enjoyed running through the sprinklers, finger painting, and playing in the sand box.  They have such a great big backyard.  Clark especially enjoyed the nice soft grass. 

On Friday, June 11th, we went to Karchner Caverns and had a picnic.  Then we drove to Tombstone and walked through the old cowboy town.  Then we drove on down to Saint David to see Dan, Terrie, Brittany, Pete and family, and Don and Beth.  It was fun to see everyone.

On Saturday, June 12th, Vance, Ben, Angie, Brett, Kristi-Lynn, Chrissie, and Vince hiked Picacho Peek in the morning.  It was Vance's first time to hike Picacho Peek!

We took the kids to the Ostrich Farm in the afternoon! They were able to feed Deer, Ostrich, Goats, Donkeys, and the Birds.  Then we celebrated Vince's Birthday that evening!  We met up with the Browns, and we went swimming and had a barbeque.  Logan and one of the other cousins thought it would be fun to pour dirt (from the baseball field) on each other!  Boys...What a Mess!

On Sunday, June 13th, we went to church with Heflins, and then we caravaned home with the Dixons!  We had such a fun time visiting with everyone, but Mom and Dad were definately missed!
