Wedding Bells, Scooting and Swimming

The last couple weeks have been jam packed full of fun things. I took Ethan swimming for the first time in a real pool. The time in Oregon was a hot tub and he loved it. I wasn't sure how he was going to react to a real pool though. My wonderful sister, Heather, called me up one day and asked if I wanted to go swimming. I figured I hadn't seen the sun in a few years so why not? And Ethan loves water. So we went to the Logan pool where they have a huge baby pool that has warmer water in it and is really shallow for the little ones. We got in the pool and Ethan would not stop moving. Heather had this little floating device that I put Ethan in that he just loved. We stayed there for a couple hours until our little ones couldn't handle the excitement anymore. It was a lot of fun and I did get the sun I was craving. Almost two weeks later, I'm still peeling from my burn.

This is Heather's little guy, Carson. What a stud!

He now does push ups. We're not exactly sure how he learned it but he does them all the time. He's going to be a buff little guy!

I went to the bathroom and this is what I came back to. He had rolled under his bed and was not happy about it as you can tell.

How could you not love this face?

Anyway, last week, a few exciting things happened. On Tuesday, Ethan decided to move all on his own. He does the army crawl but uses both arms at the same time. I have a video of it because it just makes me laugh every time he does it. He is so close to crawling that I know its going to just happen one day, like the army crawl, or as Brian calls it "the worm crawl".

Later Tuesday night, Heidi went through the temple for the first time. It was really neat to have our whole family there (minus a few spouses). She went through the Salt Lake Temple, which was really awesome because it was a live session. Then after the temple, we decided to celebrate and go to the Cheesecake Factory. It was really good but by the time we were done, it was 11 o'clock at night and we still had a two hour drive home. It was a late night but totally worth it to see my little Chunky Monkey go through the temple. I'm so happy for her and excited for all the huge steps she is taking in her life right now.

Thursday, Heidi (aka Chunky Monkey), got hitched to her wonderful fiance Casey Bybee. I love it because now she is Heidi Bybee. Its so fun to say! Anywho, it was a very awesome wedding. They got married in the Draper temple Thursday morning, where we had all nine of our siblings and spouses there for the first time ever. The sealer said he had never seen anything close to that number, so we were pretty excited. Then we went to their luncheon at Braza Grill in Clearfield. Its very similar to Rodizio Grill but the food was tastier in my opinion. Then we headed to the reception which was in the backyard of a lady's house who my mom works with. It turned out really cute and everyone had a really good time. We are so happy for them both and we're so excited to have Casey now officially part of our family. He fits right in and we're happy they found each other. We love you both!

Our little family!

He loved his aunt Emily all day but he was just super tired by this time.

And Ethan loves his cousin Clint. They play so well together and just love to chill!
