Steven's Wedding

Vanessa sporting her new hat
I'm pretty sure these cousins will be friends one day :)













Waiting outside the temple for the happy couple


Jenny and Steven tied the knot on October 1st. They were married in the Salt Lake temple. We had lots of fun that day and are so glad Jenny is officially part of the family. I have no idea how I went the whole day without getting any pictures of Steven and Jenny but their photographer covered that pretty well.

Vanessa's Favorite Things...

being tickled,
playing cards,

waterbottles,

and of course her Daddy!

Cutie Pie

This is where Vanessa sits while I am in the bathroom getting ready. I can see her and she can see me. We smile at each other every once in a while. Or I get this look, the 'are you done yet?'

Fort Lauderdale

Jon went to Fort Lauderedale and Tampa for two interviews for grad school. And what kind of a wife would I be if I made him go all alone?! So of course I went with to enjoy a little sunshine :)
The beach was only across the street but the heat was more than she could take. It really must be exhausting being a baby!

Excited for the beach!

She was kind of hesitant about the waves but by the time we left she let us go out and even took some splashes.

The swimming pool was quite a hit. She probably would have been content splashing in there all day :)

The Trim

Vanessa loves her new hair cut!

Business in the Front....

Party in the back! The mullet is coming off. I already tried once but the clippers were too big and didn't work. Steph has volunteered Ryan's beard trimmer for the job. I will post the "after" pictures soon.

Vanessa is actually quite shocked by the idea of voluntarily losing more hair :)


Where did it all go? This picture was July 1. All that soft fluffy hair is just a memory...
