Mykelti's Graduation

My youngest sister graduated from Alta high School on June 6th (promise this is the last graduation post for awhile).  This is big for my parents who will soon be somewhat empty nesters this fall when she goes to college.  Lucky them right? 

The weekend started off with the graduation ceremony at UVU and then we used the rest of the weekend (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) as a somewhat mini vacation with my family.  It was our last real weekend for a long time that we will ALL be together since Larissa is moving to Connecticut in less than a month.  I love weekends with my family!

Here are a few pictures from the Graduation.  McKay and I spent the majority of the actual ceremony taking turns standing in the back or changes poppy diapers with the kids.  (why they both decided to poop then I have no idea?)

 

After graduation we went out to eat and then McKay went to his mom's to help her with a few projects and the rest of us went back to my parents house to relax.  Apparently this is how Adalyn wanted to relax.  Surprisingly Jensen is ok with it...

 

On Friday McKay and I went to my aunt's house for some family pictures, Jensen's 6 month photos, and Adalyn's 2 year old photos.  Talk about multi tasking.  I am excited to see the pictures soon!  That evening we headed to the canyon for a family cook out around the fire.  Much easier then trying to camp over night.  We had tin foil dinners and played games.

 

 

Saturday we went swimming.  Adalyn is becoming quite the fish unlike her mother who just tolerates swimming. 

 

Saturday night I didn't get any pictures but it is a night to be remembered.  My parents threw a party with BOTH sides of their families to celebrate the June/May birthdays, 5 graduations, and it was a good bye party for Larissa.  There were lots of cousins there with their families and it was SO fun to catch up with everyone.  I love my families! 

 

Sunday we went to church and then headed home.  So grateful to have such a fun and loving family. 

 

 

Lindsey's Graduation

This past weekend we headed to good old Evanston Wyoming for some family fun.  McKay's youngest sister graduated from high school.  We don't get to Evanston as often as we would like.  His parents are pretty good at driving to Salt Lake for family activities so we usually see them elsewhere besides the family farm.  But this time we made the trip and had fun seeing everyone.  We arrived the night before the graduation since we currently do not have air conditioning in our car so we wanted to travel at the coolest time of day.  Upon arrival Jensen was introduced to the newest members of the family, the pigs.  They are still small so they were really cute.  They said hello by licking his feet.  Gross!  (I promised we washed them after)

Graduation was on Saturday and after the ceremony they had a party at the house.

The Graduate herself-

 

 

 Matching shirts :)  The kids kept getting them confused. 

This is Madison.  Adalyn LOVES Madison and Madison LOVES Adalyn.  They are really cute together.  Madison was a good babysitter for Adalyn all weekend.  Their names even sound similar Addie and Madi

 There were lots of people at the party and many "tours" of the farm were held.  Goats were being milked right and left and there was plenty of chickens around. :)  100+ to be exact...ish.  Adalyn was unfortunately scared at first of the animals, but by the end she finally warmed up and would actually touch and play with the baby goats and the dog.  Apparently we need to go to the farm more so she doesn't become afraid of animals.

This is Joan Jensen Pace.  McKay's grandma who Jensen is named after.  So happy we got a picture of them together.  Sadly after this picture Jensen grabbed a plate of food and it spilled all over grandma.  Hopefully they are still friends....

 

It was a late night home after the party and I feel like I have just recovered (just in time to head to Salt Lake)  Have a good weekend!

   

Happy 28th Birthday McKay!

Happy Birthday

to my favorite guy!  Love him! 

 

 

 

 

 

He is my rock and absolute favorite person to be with.  I have loved getting to know him more and more each day for the past 4 years. 

I love you babe and I can't wait to celebrate with you tonight! 

Jensen-5 months old

Our boy is growing and growing.  He is getting SO big and is so fun!  He used to be tall and skinny but he is really starting to chunk out more (you can only say "chunk out" about a baby) 

Compared to Adalyn he is a little bit more of a needy baby.  Nothing too hard, he just loves to be around people and is kind of getting attached to mommy and daddy. 

He is pretty squirmy in your arms these days and is getting pretty good at rolling over on his own. 

He has started mastering the art of holding things in his hands so he can actually play and suck on toys now instead of just bat his hands at them.

The last few days he has leaked out of almost every one of his diapers so something has to change there.  Either the size or brand I haven't figured which one out yet. 

I just switched him to 6-9 month clothes because he was too big for all of his pajamas, but he can still wear many of his 3-6 month clothes.

He still wakes up once a night, but goes back to sleep well so it isn't too bad. 

Learned to rock himself in his carseat and bouncer (really helps keep him entertained).

Tried a little bit of squash to see if he was ready for food yet, but we decided it wasn't quite time...

Mommy was bad and didn't take too many 'everyday' kind of pictures this month, but here are a few...

 

 

 

I love babies!  I can't get enough of his cuteness and sweet personality.  We love watching you grow Jensen!
