18 months

 

I can't believe how big Stu is getting! He is going to nursery now and loves going into primary for singing time. For mothers day he made me a card and as I watched him stick stickers on the paper and color on it, I just thought where did my baby go? Stu is very good with his fingers, he can pick little stickers off of anything and likes sticking them back on. He likes to play with play dough and is pretty good at coloring. His favorite thing is coloring on those magnet sketch pad things. He can even slide the thing across to clear it. He is getting SO smart! Today when I was vacuuming I moved the ottoman and there was a measuring cup underneath, Stu saw it, picked it up and went and put it in the drawer where it goes! He has a book that has velcro animals that  he can pull off,  and he can put them all back where they go! Not only is he getting so smart but he is also very organized with things, when I give him grapes I cut them in half and drop them in his tray, before he eats any he has to make sure they are all turned over laying on the flat side!! It has been so fun to watch him grow! 


 
Stu still LOVES dishes! He now has his own his own metal pots and pans so he doesn't throw mine anymore. And, he now has a little kitchen thanks to Gma Jones. 

 Loves to talk on the phone.

 Stus toy corner.

 At wheeler farm. He ran up and down this ramp like 20 times!


Starting to like swimming.



Bryan Jones Reunion

 Lydia and the kids and I drove up on monday two weeks ago to spend a whole week before the reunion! It was lots of fun to be back home for that long, especially with everything that happened. We went to Tori's Graduation!

  YEAH Tori!! She is finally done with H.S. and can move on to college life.


Waiting to see her!!

Stu was NOT good during the 3 hour graduation..  we ended up walking the halls during most of it and when I came in to see Tori walk he screamed until the end.. BUT, these funny pictures happened during the first 15 mins. Sarah was playing with him. (his cheeks) Kinda funny!!
 At first he didn't care..





We also got to go to Jakes graduation, where they were trained to be in the FBI. (0:



The Reunion was "Around the World" Mike and I made Mexican food, my sis. Lydia and her husband Nate made German food and my bro.Talon and his wife Natalie made Cambodian food. It was all very yummy!

After our Mexican food we had a pinata.. 



We also went and Saw the not-so-successful Teton Dam!

 And just because, this is my Super-cute neice Lyla!!



Lately...

So we have been all over the place it seems.. We have been to Idaho 3 times in the last month and a half (details to come), and trying to get Mike's class reunion planned, bridal shower, baby shower, new calling.... Needless to say that is why I have not posted anything. 


I threw a bridal shower for a girl in my ward and it turned out SO cute... bad news is I forgot to take pictures until it was over. I have started to really enjoy have parties and enteraining! I love baking and trying new things so I am always looking for a reason to have a party. For this shower I made SUPER yummy strawberry lemonade cupcakes that you all should try! 

And, of course my cute helper!!
