A visit from NY

All the family from NY came into town a few weeks ago, this "group" included Jakes brother; Michael and his wife Jenny and there 2 kids (Nelle's cousins, Grant and Gabe) and Jake's mom. Nelle and Grant and Gabe got lots of play time and it was just awesome to see them all interact. We also all went boating, which was Nelle and Gabe's first time boating. (Thats one for the baby book.. Nelle's very first time on a boat was with Gabe!) Nelle loved it! She just wanted to play in the water and she was a VERY good sport. She didn't have her 1st nap until about 5:15 pm! No fits or anything, we got very lucky with a such a good little girl. Then Nelle also got some much needed Nana time! Thanks so much for coming to visit and dont be shy!!!

Playing in the sprinkler

For Nelle's birthday Papa and Mimi Eldredge bought her an Elmo mat that sprays water when you hook it up to the hose. We set it up for her today and she thought it was so fun except when it squirted her in the face. She had a blast!

The park

Nelle really loves to go to the park so yesterday we took her. This time of the year all the play equipment is really hot so she cant climb up on any of it but she still loves going. She loves finding all the little stuff like pine cones and rocks and also watching all the kids play. I think she is still trying to figure out how to play with other kids so thats why she just watches them. This park trip was her first time on a tire swing tho and she did really good. She just hung on while daddy pushed her a little.

4th of July

We took Nelle to the Sugarhouse firework show this year and Nelle LOVES fireworks!! We got there a couple hours early and let Nelle just be outside and play and she loved that. Then...the Fireworks started. She pretty much laughed the whole time. She was pointing and oohhing and ahhing. She made it the best firework show ever!
