9 months

Our sweet baby girl keeps getting bigger every day.  She is crawling all over, starting to pull herself up, eating regular food (finally) and sleeping a little better.  Still no teeth and has to wake up every 3 hours to eat.  I can do without the teeth but the waking up all the time needs to end.

She doesn't particularly care for grass and would rather not touch it,

and she thinks it's pretty exciting to clap her hands.

Her sisters still LOVE her lots and think they need to hold her all the time.

We feel pretty lucky to have her!

A visit with the Family

 We ran down to Salt Lake for the weekend.  It was a terrible drive.  Starting at 8pm, a crying baby and Utah night construction didn't help.  We made it though.  We would have waited until morning however Kalissa and Anna were surprised with getting to see The Sound of Music early Saturday morning; which they LOVED!
Everyone had a blast for the short time we were there. Uncle Chris and Aunt Amy rented a bounce house/water slide for the day and all the kids LOVED it; well Amree didn't like it too much but she tried it.


  We played in the water and ate popsicles.

 Amree had  a hard time and didn't want to be loved or held by many.  Besides me, only Uncle Chris could make her happy.  I was grateful for those few short moments.
 We ate yummy food and played with our cousins.
Uncle Michael and Aunt Julie's kids made the cutest beehive piƱata that we all were excited to hit, and even more excited to gather all the candy.
 
We lit fireworks at the school and chased our favorite, Sky Spiders and parachutes as they fell from the sky.
Kalissa and Elsie gave bus rides



 We also were there for the blessing of this newest sweet baby boy. 
 Grandpa and Preston, only a few 98 years apart.
Although the mountains are equally amazing in Idaho, I miss this
view from my parents home.

Lusk Family Reunion

We had the Lusk Family Reunion last Saturday; a day of service.  Everyone helped chop LOTS of wood for Grandma.  It was a nice day, cool with a little rain and then the sun came out.  It was fun to be with the family.

4th of July

 We had a wonderful 4th of July!  It was warm and sunny for the parade, bbq's, playing in the water, being with family and just relaxing.  We are so blessed to enjoy the freedoms we have in this beautiful country!!!  Thank you to all who have sacrificed for us!
