Day Out With Thomas!

If you have ever met my son then you will know that he is a huge Thomas the Train fan! I found out that Thomas was coming to Heber, UT so I bought tickets about 2 months before and this weekend we got to go see Thomas! Eben was so excited and had a blast!

Aylah's First Steps!

Aylah has been working at walking and tonight she finally got it! She has never taken more than 1 step and falls on her bum. But tonight Arlin was working with her and she took her first steps to her daddy, just like Eben. She is getting so big and we love watching her grow!

The Trees and Shrubs

We have also started adding some trees and shrubs these are all we have so far but more will be coming! And as you can see it these are not finished we still need to add our bark and finish our stone.

Project 1 Concrete

This is a very busy month for us and our outside projects. First, we have added concrete onto our driveway and formed a patio. Next weekend, we will be doing the sprinkler system. Finally, we will be getting sod at the end of the month! So here are the pictures of the first project-concrete. Arlin and our neighbor made the forms and Arlin did the finishing. Eben's favorite part was the "concrete pouring truck" he has talked about it for days!

Dear Arlin!

Dear Arlin,

This is what happens when you do not put Aylah to sleep! I tried to get her to take a nap for 2 hours and she did nothing but scream at the top of her lungs (Eben even had to cover his ears)! So I decided to give up so she played for a little bit then I decided to make her a sandwich and hop in the shower. Eben came into the bathroom and said, "Mommy, I think sister is asleep!". So I went to check on her and the poor thing had to put herself to sleep. Do you remember when I was pregnant and I always had to put Eben to bed and you said to me, "I hope this one likes me!" well your wish came true. She will not go to sleep unless you are there to rock her. She is definitely a daddy's girl! However, I must thank you for getting up in the night to put her back to sleep because when I do it we are up for hours instead of minutes. You truly are a wonderful husband and father!

Love,

Shannon
