Abby's Birthday!

Abby had more fun watching Greg open her present than actually opening it. Greggy also has taken possession of the radio as well. Abby enjoys watching him play with it!

Can you guess what her big brother is obsessed with?

The Big 1 for Abby

Who can believe that our little Abby is already turning 1! She has just grown up so fast - must be the example of her big brother Greg. She is learning a few new words, and one of our favorites came to her on Father's Day. What a great gift for Dad.

Happy 4th of July

We had a great 4th. We started the day by going to a very long parade down in Provo. After 2 hours, we decided we were through, and headed home for the day. Greggy insisted on riding this little scooter to the parade (about 4 - 5 blocks away). He made it most of the way all by himself.

We invited over some family and friends for a barbeque that night, and it was a lot of fun. We even got the pleasure of having over an old high school friend of Daniel's from Texas with his family (Ben and Amanda Hedquist). They were passing through on their way home from a roadtrip. We had a great dinner, and a waterfight and fireworks! What a way to celebrate our nations freedom!

Big brother! Big helper!

So, Greggy's new thing is to help Daddy, Mommy, and Abby. He loves to help Mommy with the laundry, and buckling up his seatbelt in the car. He's becoming quite independent (and letting us know that too!) He also likes to feed Abby. He's such a great big brother.

Sprinkler Party!

We had all of Greg's friends over for a sprinkler party. The kids all had a good time, and some of them even got wet! Abby didn't enjoy getting wet at all. She let us know about it too!

New Bathroom!

We finally got around to refinishing our bathroom. We thought this would be a 3 day project. After 3 weeks, we finally had our shower back. It was a nightmare at the time, but we love the finished project. (We still have to finish the floor - but we'll save that for another time).

We have to give a big thanks to Dad Whiting for all the plumbing help, and to Nana Nancy for the decor!

Daniel Graduates!

We got to go to Daniel's graduation ceremony in May. He walked, but July 16th is the official last day of school for him. He will have a Bachelor in Business. Congratutions Daniel!

We love you!

Thanksgiving Point

Nana Nancy took us to the gardens at Thanksgiving Point while she was in town. It was the Tulip Festival, and the gardens were beautiful. We got a few great pictures of all the girls (and Xion).

I figure I should get some of these pictures and videos posted before Abby graduates from college. In case you don't know, she is now standing, and has even taken a few steps. We don't expect to see her walking any time soon, but who knows! Rather than do the normal crawl, Abby decided to bum scoot. She can fly across the floor, but her clothes are all getting ruined. She does on occasion crawl the usual boring way just to keep things interesting.
