What we've been up to

Well, it's been awhile since I last posted anything on here, so I figured it was about time.

First off, we have a little smarty pants in the family. Boo was chosen to attend the spelling bee this year. She was 1 of 3 in her class. There were about 24 other students in her grade (Etna and Cokeville 5th graders participated as well) and she did pretty good. They gave them 10 words to spell at first and then eliminated anyone who misspelled one of those words and then did one word at a time. She actually ended up out in the first round, she misspelled the 10th word, temperature, she forgot the second e. But then she sat with us and continued to spell the words and did really well. She only missed one here and there. She was pretty proud of herself because her dad was sitting next to her and kept spelling the word wrong and she'd spell it right! :) It was funny!!

Boo with a coupld of her friends.


Bubba and Buggy brought home masks they made at school and this one was Bubba's and Daddy decided to try it on. He looked really funny.


Now a quick update on Ta-Da. She is growing like a little weed. I took her in for her 2 month check-up (sad that's she's already to that age) and she was 9 lbs. 11 oz. and 21 inches long. She has gained 4 inches and 5 pounds since she was born. I sure miss my tiny little thing but I love that she's growing as well as she is.

This is her chilling with her Daddy the other night while we played games with family and friends.


This was the day that she first smiled at us when we talked to her. She only did it once and we didn't get it on camera.


Grandma Hepworth picked us up a swing in Idaho Falls this past weekend and let me tell you, it has been AWESOME!! Ta-Da LOVES it. She almost always crashes when we put her in it.


A little thing about her, she's a snuggle bug. She loves to snuggle into her blankets. There's been a few times I've found her burying her face in the blankets. It's cute.


And this lovely picture was from this morning. She is really starting to smile when you talk to her and we were finally able to catch one of them on camera. She already had a bright face but this smile makes it that much brighter.

So this little video is worth watching. Hammy has discovered wrestling and he loves to wrestle this bear ALL over the house. It's hilarious!
