Utah and Eating Tour

Leah and I surprised Lauren for her graduation back in April...only problem was she wasn't surprised! Dad can't keep secrets...maybe that's where I get it from haha. I do have to share that story so I can always remember it and laugh about it. So my Dad was talking to Lauren on the phone and they were talking about her graduation and he said "Ade, what time does Ami get into the airport?" and then he realized his mistake and said, "oops you weren't supposed to hear that". Now he told me the story this way, he admitted to saying the first part about me getting into the airport but then he told me that Lauren said "no dad you are thinking about when Ami goes to PA for Jenna's graduation" to which he responded "oh yeah". Ummm yeah he left out how he told lauren she wasn't supposed to hear that! haha oh dad. So we also wanted to surprise Crystal and as she was driving up the canyon to come see everyone Dad told her "Ami is feeding Leah right now". I was like DADDDDD REALLY?!?!?! haha but she didn't hear him! So she was shocked when she walked in and saw us!

 So anyways it was Leah's first plane ride and she did great! We had the entire row to ourselves on the flight out and while she did great it was an exhausting experience for me! Getting a tad bit nervous for our 5 hour plane ride in 3 weeks. We met my parents at the airport which was perfect because their flight got in 10 minutes before ours. Grandpa picked us up and we went to a Thai restaurant for lunch which is where we met up with Lauren, Jared and Kyra. Lauren said she was looking for us when they drove up and was disappointed not to see me or Leah (mainly Leah). We were hiding in a booth but she quickly found us and took Leah right from me! We spent the week in Midway at my grandparents house and drove down to Prove almost every day. Thanks gma and gpa for hosting us. While there we ate out every meal except for 2!! We ate at the Train (Dairy Keen) twice!, cafe rio, Brick Oven for Lauren's grad party, Shirley's bakery, The Marriott School Graduation reception, and even managed to hit up a wedding reception! I of course love my grandma's home cooked meals, she always has steak and potatoes when I come to visit! We had a great time and it was fun for Leah to meet so many of her family members. I always love going back to BYU; it has changed so much but I have so many great memories.

 
She doesn't know if she likes flying!
 
Dad always has to take a walk around his lot in Midway when he visits!! Maybe one day he'll build on it!
Gma and Leah meeting for the first time
Yes I ate 2 shakes while there!
Leah had a queen sized bed all to herself.
 
Matt and I went on our first date to the Bombay House :)

Grandpa was honored at the Marriott School graduation for being in the first graduating MBA class 50 years ago!!
 
Congrats Lauren for graduating with your bachelors in Early Childhood Education and Jared for graduating with your  Master's in Accounting! Also congrats to Jeff (matts bro) who graduated with a Bachelor's in Math. We weren't able to meet up but we will be visiting him in July!
So tired after a long day in Provo

KiKi Boo


Last month Kyra came to visit on her BYU-Idaho break. A few weeks before the break she found out that she had to be out of her apartment during semesters so they could clean. So naturally she called my Dad and begged him to buy her a flight to AZ. Surprisingly enough he agreed! During the week she was here we went to the County Fair and saw a Monkey show, ate at Rita's, attended an Eagle Scout Court of Honor where there was a real live Bald Eagle!! We went shopping, to Texas Roadhouse, and had fun hanging out. Kyra is waiting to get her mission call! So glad she could visit us before she leaves for 18 months. She spent a lot of time with Leah and watched her a few times for me.

The Owls are Back in Town

Our owl friends are back! We were so sad last year when they up and dissapeared. We figured someone had taken them so that people wouldn't mess with the babies. So now once again we are enjoying our evening walks watching the owls.

March-4 months

At Leah's 4 month check up she weighed in at 13.0 lbs and was 23 1/2 inches (I think!). Anyways I think it is funny that when she was born she was 7.0 lbs then 1 month check up 9.0 lbs and then 2 month check up 11.0 lbs and now 13.0 lbs. She has always gone up by exactly 2 lbs. We'll see what happens at her 6 month appt. Leah started rolling over stomach to back. She does better with tummy time and holding her head up.
