Ray and Janeen's Wedding Reception

I know this picture makes it look more like someone's birthday, but this was Ray and Janeen's wedding reception. It was the most relaxed I've ever been to and was so enjoyable. It was wonderful to see these two the night before in the Temple being sealed to one another for time and all eternity, thank you for inviting me to share that with you. It was great to see old friends too.

Its strange how fast life flies by! It seems like just the other day we were playing on the street and jumping into the bushes hiding from cars. Now we are all married, and eventually I believe, Ray will join Brady and I as having kids. Enjoy your Honeymoon Ray and Janeen, get lots of rest and relaxation in, probably not hard to do in the Bahama's!

I couldn't let a post go by without putting up a picture of Alex so here are two.

This is Alex and her cousins. It was the end of a long day, Bailey, McKeena, and Kelton were ok, but little Alex didn't want anything to do with it.

Maddie's Birthday

Happy 1st Birthday Maddie! Alex was invited to her first birthday party and boy did she have fun. Maddie got this adorable rocker chair and the two girls loved it. I think in this picture Maddie is showing Alex how to suck her thumb, little does Maddie know that Alex is a professional thumb-sucker. The two seemed to hit it off which was very cute to see. Thanks to Rebecca, Mark and Maddie for inviting us over to share in this moment with them.

Wow a Busy Week and Rice Cereal Time!

Well it was time for Mala Beba to have some Rice cereal, and as you can see above, she wasn't sure what to think of at first. She was grabbing the spoon from RAD-Mom because she thought it was a toy. Then she tasted the cereal and she enjoyed it. She laughed and giggled, she thought it was so funny. Mala Beba has been learning how to blow and make noises like a helicopter with her mouth, this is bad timing with her eating Rice cereal. Right as we put the spoon in her mouth, she blows and the cereal ends up all over, mostly on Mala Beba's face, its cute!

She loves her cereal and her spoon. She can be crying and crying and we put her up in her high-chair and show her the first spoonful and and instant smile.

This week Mala Beba got to go to Astoria, Oregon for the first time. There is this place that makes the best fish and chips around, its called The BowPicker, it is right across the street from the Maritime Museum, its just a little boat that they have added a cooker to it and they cook right out of it. Its great food and if you ever go, just get a full order for two people and share it, its huge and you get lots of fish. We also made a trip up to the Astoria Column, RAD-Mom and I have been there before, our 1st wedding anniversary actually, but this was our first time with Mala Beba. We went to Astoria for RAD-Mom's Dad's father's day present, he loves that place so we told him we'd take him, it was a long drive for fish&chips, but worth it.

This week was a busy week for us. RAD-Mom also had a family member from Italy in town. It was fun to talk to Valentina and see how life is over in Italy. We told her that if we ever got enough money saved up that we would head over and visit her. She lives right on the Adriatic Sea. Some day in our lives we will have to get over there for sure! Thanks for visiting us Valentina and we hope you had fun and hope that you had a safe trip home!
