Fishing with Papa Bob

On June 4-5th Kristen and I took the kids up to Papa Bob's house! It was so much fun.We roasted hot dogs and had s'mores and went fishing. Each of the kids caught at least on fish! Karlie caught seven! They loved it! Well Gaige didn't really care about the fishing part but he loved the snacks that you bring fishing! Thanks Papa Bob for such a fun time!Brooklyn and Papa Bob
Gaige fell asleep on the four wheeler ride! My arm was so tired from holding his head up!

Karlie and one of her huge fish!

Me trying to convince Gaige that fishing is fun! Maybe next year he will like it!

MAY

So I have been a slacker! Here are some highlights from May 2009! We went camping with friends and Todd decided to take Gaige over a jump in his car! Gaige loved it , he laughed the entire time and asked to do it again and again!

Cute Camping stud!

My baby brother Graduated college! It's true he is the smartest one in the family! Jake Hardman MBA, if anyone needs one of those he is looking for work!

18 MONTHS

Learning to share
Swimming in St. George

Ouch! (its kind of hard to see but he has a huge goose egg on his forehead and a nice bruise) Darn sidewalk!

Well the little Mr. is 18 months old! I love this age! Everyday he learns something new. New words, cute faces and toddler-like things. I love that he doesn't talk back yet but that he can talk to me. His personality is coming out and he is so stinkin fun and cute! So happy 18 months Gaige, I love you and I am so glad you chose me to be your mommy!

Shoes And Hats

Dads Hat
Moms Hat

Hat, mittens, shoes and no pants! ( this was Todds doing)

My child loves shoes and hats! Yes even with pajamas. He almost always has shoes on, if he can't find his own he will wear whatever shoes he can find, Todds, Mine his cousins any shoe he can find. He has to wear a hat, a snow hat, when we leave the house. He doesn't take it off and when you get one out he puts his head down so you can put it on! Now that the weather is warmer he is kinda confused when we don't put a hat on before we leave. Guess its time for baseball hats! So I thought I would share some cute hat and shoe pics with y'all!

Just like Daddy!

Gaige L O V E S his daddy! He asks me on average twenty times a day, "wheres Daddy?" "Ride, Daddy?" It gets a bit annoying but I do love that he loves his Dad. He loves to ride on the motorcycle with Todd! If Todd leaves his hat or boots out Gaige has to put them on and be just like Dad!To be honest I am a bit nervous for Gaige to get older, I have a feeling I wont ever see the two of them. Todd is always saying how excited he is to play catch or go on a bike ride with him and take him hunting. I think I will be home alone quite a bit while those two are of playing!

Mean Face

One day while Mema was watching Gaige she somehow taught him to do this.....

first he smiles all cute-like and then...

he does Mean Face! He will do it on command now! I it is super cute, everytime I get the camera out he stops doing it of course, but tonight I finally got the shot!!
