Hail Storm

Every once in a while Utah gets crazy weather. It was about 4 or 5 in the morning when all of a sudden it sounded as if our roof on our house was going to be ripped off and we would have nothing for shelter. I was too tired to really get out of bed and look to see what was going on,but Jeremy got up and as he looked out of the window hail was coming down so hard that you really wondered if the cars on the street wouldn't be damaged. Below are the pictures Jeremy took of the crazy hail received in Utah in August.

15 Months

Molars, laughing, outside, dog teaser, bottle sucker, handsome are all of the things Jack is or is into lately. He has he 4 teeth up and down, we think his mouth is working on his molars due to the fact that he is grumpy, drooling and pulls on his ears. Its hard to get him to laugh because he thinks he is so serious. He loves to study people first then he starts to be himself. He LOVES to explore and especially explore out side. He likes to be daddy's helper and helps himself to the watering pitcher and the gardening shovel. He loves music and anytime he hears music on he side bangs his head or lightly bends his knees. He loves to follow Sparky around and tease her especially since he knows she can't bite him due to her not having any teeth, and we have been working on breaking him of his bottle - this is an on going process. Jack loves his baby sister and when you ask him to give her a kiss he does it. He is a good boy when he wants to be and can be a trouble maker on the other times. However all and all he is a handsome boy. Jeremy and I have decided that his first word was Daisy, he looks for planes in the sky and the other day Jeremy had to take Justin to the airport and as they were leaving Jack said plane. I was then giving Jack and Abi a bath and put bubbles in the bath, as I was saying bubbles Jack then said Buubles. He is slowing talking however when you try to get him to repeat you he doesn't only when its convenient for him.

7 Months

Teething, rolling, laughing, grabing, eating, and kicking are all of the things Abi is into at the moment. At 5 months she received her two bottom teeth, we are now ready for her two top teeth to pop through at any moment. The last few weeks although she is such a happy girl she has been pulling on her ear, drooling , chomping on anything that gets close to her mouth and seeing that her gums are a little swollen, I know it will be any day now. Abi loves her baths you actually get a shower while you watch her from the side lines. We are working on crawling and it is a work in progress, but cartoons catch her eye and she loves bouncing in her bouncer. She laughs at any face you give her and when you talk to her she will talk back. She loves eating solids and loves to explore. Its really hard to try and remember what Jack was like when he was at this age even though it wasn't that long ago only eight months ago.
