Ella had her face painted as a princess

Travis, the TiGeR (Ella's cousin) was the first person to invite all the way down from Utah to her birthday party!

Monkey's all around...cake, balloon animal, face paint, and her outfit.

Chunky Monkey!

This is our cute Chunky Monkey! I could blog for days about my little Simon monster! He is just the cutest boy EVER! We just love him to pieces! My sister sent some fun hats down for us to use this fall/winter. I just couldn't pass up this photo...seriously isn't he the cutest!

Field Trip to the P Patch

The blow up slide was a big hit (after 20 minutes of talking Molly into trying it with Ella)

Train ride with the tractor.

(I got to ride in the lucky spot right next to Ella though I am not pictured)

The girls are lucky to have the same Preschool teacher this year (just different classes and days of the week). I was so happy that they did their field trip the same day!

Ella and Molly @ the PuMpKin PaTCh. We had a great time!

Where did little M go?

And.. she is off! Molly is very much into "pretend" with ther dolls and barbies. The other day miss M and I were playing baby dolls (while E was at preschool) and she told me she was taking her babies for a walk. I thought oh..she is pushing them in the pink doll stroller around the house like she normally does. Well, I was wrong. To my surprise...After not hearing her talk and play I found her (half way down the sidewalk) going for a walk with her babies! I didn't really think she was going outside!! yikes! If only they could stay this young forever! I really enjoy having a 3 year old in the house. She is just so logical sometimes :)

There is a first for...

We have had an exciting month!

In our home we have had a few exciting things happen...

Spencer is in his 3rd year of Medical School. He was able to scrub in on his first surgery this month. He is really enjoying this great dynamic in his hospital rotations this year.

I (Kimberly) successfully canned my first batch of home made SALSA! Whoop Whoop! and the great thing is...It even tastes good!

Ella got her first cavity...and her first filling. She wasn't too happy about getting her "tooth polished."

Molly has skillfully learned to write her name for the first time all by herself this month.

Simon is full of firsts!! He got his first tooth (he now has two)...rolled over for the first time and scooted for the first time all this month! And oh boy is he active! He can quickly make his way from one side of the room to the other! (usually to get something or someone he wants) Oh how we love him!

We have had a great month!

Blessing Day

Simon

The family

Four Generations

(Dad Clark, Spencer w/Simon, Grandpa J)

We were so happy to have our parents and grand parents with us for Simon's special day.

We blessed our little munchkin July 3rd. It was a rather HOT (106) day in Henderson Nevada!

We had some yummy food back at the house following his Blessing. Thank you to our family who made the trip down from Utah. We love you!

To Simon

Our little guy is getting bigger!

He weighs in @ 15.5 lbs and 23 inches now!
What I love most about Simon are the sweet noises that come from his little mouth. This boy grunts when he moves or is moved, when he streches, awakens, sleeps, really all the time. It is so sweet to hear the new vocals he has learned. My day consists of joyful smiles , tender kisses and beautiful vocals from my little man. He is such a tender mercy from Heaven. We are so thankful he is ours.
