Nerd it up

Julien has developed this cute sense of humor this year. Today he walked into the living room dressed like a "nerd." After showing us his new look, he would go back into his bedroom change his style and hairdo, come back out to the living room, and act like a different nerd. He is just too cute.

Downward Dog

Ever since Kia Ora was a young baby I have done Yoga with her. The girls at New Haven (my old job) thought it was so funny to see a baby do boat (a tricky abdominal workout) without help. I would also massage and stretch her feet and her legs. Kiki has now (since she was 11 months approximately) mastered downward facing dog. The funniest thing about it is that I can just call it out, and Kiki will stop what she is doing and get into the position. Sometimes she will stay into downward dog for a while and wait for me to push her to do a somersault. This little thing is so so smart.

Cutest Kids EVER

Before church, the kids were reading books. They were so adorable that I had to snap a shot.
 

Baby Mama!

 Kia Ora got a baby doll for her birthday, and they have been inseparable ever since she got it. Everywhere Kiki goes Mama follows. The doll cries, giggles, and says mama, so Kia Ora has decided to name her baby Mama. It is so cute watching Kiki go around the apartment saying "Mama! Mama!" grabing her baby and giving it a big kiss. She loves to feed her baby and give her a sippy cup, sit her down and show her a book.
Further more, Jon and I started going to the gym and have been dropping off Kia Ora at the daycare. The days that Kiki does the best at the day care are the days when a little girl (who looks just like her mama) is there. Kiki sits next to her, pats her head, kisses her, and calls her mama. She is too funny and stinkin' adorable.

The plant Jon works with at Dow bought tickets for the employees to go see the Astros play. Jon and I did not want to pass up that opportunity. It was so much fun! They had food vouchers for everyone, so we didn't even need buy dinner. I got a chance to meet some of the people Jon works with. We had a blast! Below are some pictures of our fantastic activity:

As you can see we all have Astros gear. Jon was so excited about going that he surprised us all with jerseys and shirts. The kids could not believe their eyes when Jon presented them their jerseys. They absolutely loved them.

The kids wanted to stay to the very end to see the fireworks.

cha-ching!

Watch out people! I am a working photographer. (Okay! not really, but let me explain.) Kim hooked me up with this awesome job with the company she works for. I simply had to go around Houston taking pictures of places with a door mat saying welcome to Houston. It was the best paying job I have done for the amount of effort I had to put into it. Plus I got to visit pretty cool stuff! I love the fact that I have a sister looking out for me. Kim, I'm ready for my next assignment whenever you are! Love you sis!

Logan got baptized!

Logan got baptized on August 7th!  It was a very nice and spiritual baptism. Raphael spoke on baptism, my dad on the gift of the Holy Ghost, and Alex bore his testimony. We were grateful to have family want to share this special day with us.

 

 

 

Logan loves his aunts and uncles, and they love him too!

All in white!
