birthday girl

Carly's 1! I can't believe it... she should still be that newborn that I feel like we just barely brought home. Time flies! Thursday was her birthday, but with everybody's schedules we finally got around to a little celebration. Today was the primary program, so the grandparents came to see Luke and we invited them over after sacrament for lunch and cake.

1. 

She got some cute outfits, p.j.'s, two babies, and a stroller. She was pretty happy for being nap deprived. Grandma Sharla also got some p.j.'s for Luke and Abigail, I think they were excited to be included in the gift receiving. Ab told me that the babies are Carly's but she get to use them, because Carly doesn't want them.

Here's some random pictures of my girl. Carly likes to throw her cereal on the ground, so I think she's done. I get her out and she immediately eats all the cereal off the floor. It doesn't make sense.

Carly's got 11 teeth, I've never seen a baby teeth so quickly. I could honestly give her a steak. Today, Carly said a new word... wukey. We were sitting in sacrament and I had Carly standing on my lap facing the stand, that's when she spotted Luke. She was hollering and pointing, "wukey, wuke!" She wouldn't stop, she was kinda being disruptive, so I said, "shhhhh" and she covered her mouth with her hand and burst into tears. I took her out for a bit and when we came back she just kept going, "wukey, wukey"

We had her Dr.'s appointment and here's the news...
Weight- 20 lbs. - 55%
Height- 31 inches- 95%
I'm so glad that so far my kids have taken after Ben in the height department.
Carly is such a little sweetheart, she loves to give kisses and loves to snuggle while sucking her thumb.

more water party

Thomas Luke and Lisa invited us over for another water party. Luke and Abby were so excited... Luke had been asking practically everyday since the last water party, when we were going again. It was a beautiful, sunny day, and the kids had a blast. On a sad note...Luke and Lisa moved to Montana this morning, we are going to miss them!

Whenever Abigail went down the slide, it gave her a massive wedgie. Shannon asked her if she needed help getting it out... so after that, Ab just assumed Shannon was the designated wedgie picker, she walked past me and asked 'Aunt Shannie to get it out of her bottom'.

Preschool... finally!

Luke FINALLY went to preschool! I say finally, because he has been asking me everyday for the past 6mos. when he is going to school. I would always say in the fall, when it's a little colder in the mornings, then you can go. Every morning he'd wake up and look out the window, and say it's colder now, Fall's here! After his first day the first thing out of his mouth was "I got to cut with really sharp scissors!" Then he told me all about his friend 'little' Blake, not 'big' Blake (my brother). So whenever he talks about his friend, he calls him little... I hope this Blake kid doesn't get a complex.

'look Mom, I'm just like Ariel!'

superheros

Whenever Fisher comes over to play with Luke, he brings an extra superhero suit. Luke says 'Fisher is my his best friend, but he's my cousin too'.
