Two amazing Must see movies!! Twilight of course I love love loved it! I have not read the books (I am still working on Harry Potter...) But the movie was great. I loved the actors loved the story, so cute and romantic! I am totally going again. And of course James Bond!! Daniel Craig... Whoa HOTTIE! He is rugged and fantastic.
Connor has started laughing... so of course I caught a video! He is almost 5 months. What a doll!
Thanks Mom & Crystal for a fun night!
On Sept. 21 Connor will be 4 months old... it is so strange to me how fast time flies when there is a baby around. Needless to say I am still loving being an Aunt. It brings out the inner mommy in me. He is just growing and changing, and chunking up if you can't tell.
Getting a little Grandma Love
He loves sitting up on the couch like that, it is so cute.
As you can see when he comes to Grandma's house he is definately not lacking in attention. There is just something so special about having a little guy around. I am very excited to have my own kids...
I just can't get enough Connor
I think this has been my summer of vacations. John and I made a trip to Montana to see my Aunt Darcie and Uncle Dennis. John had been to MT once a long time ago, so he definately enjoyed the drive. We drove throught ID and a place called Island Park. Island Park is BEAUTIFUL! He decided someday we have to have a cabin there. 
While we were in MT we spent time the family Grandpa and Darla were there, also Andrea and the boys came to spend the night, and Erick as well. We played a lot of cards and had a lot of late nights. It is so much fun to get all the family together. John was definatley initiated into the family. We also played golf on Friday ( it was my first time and I LOVED IT!!) It was so nice to get away from the fast paced life that we have here, and go somewhere that is so mellow. I would love to live in MT it is gorgeous there. The winter is pretty tough, but the summer makes it worth it.
So on the way home we stopped at Bear World near Rexburg, ID. It is a wild animal park that you drive through and there are elk and wolves and obviously lots of bears just wandering around. They show you a bunch of pictures with the bears climbing into truck beds and standing on cars, they have broken through windows. I was pretty nervous since we were driving my new car through the park, but we survived with no bear encounters. Its so weird to drive by a bear 2 feet away from ya though. It was so hard to get a good picture because they told you don't stop your car because that is what interests them and thats when they come and jump on your car. So my pictures don't show how cool it really was. The park also had a petting zoo and they had 6 baby bears that you could bottle feed. We didn't feed them but we watched and it was so cute. I definately recommend stopping in next time ya drive by.
So I took some time off of work and the Durham clan came to stay. I always love when they come its such a blast! On Thursday Madison & Dallin stuck around with me and we baked cookies and went grocery shopping. I enjoyed the company...I hope they did too! 
Friday we made a stop at the DUP museum up by the capitol. Surprisingly it was really cool. Don't get me wrong I love a museum, but I was pleasantly surprised. I suggest a visit! We did the school shopping as well. Boys are awesome to shop for I must say. The best thing was on Saturday Me, Mom, Dana, Jeff, and the kids went up to Boondocks. I had been there before with some friends but It was so much fun with the kids. We started off with the bumper boats....bad idea we all got SOAKED. The picture of all of us does not even show it I was dripping for at least an hour, but the kids loved it. We played mini golf, and rode in go karts, played in the arcade, and my personal favorite we played laser tag. The best part is that we got our tickets at Costco and it was so CHEAP!
Andrew and Aleta and Connor came over a couple times this weekend. So of course I have to throw in a couple pictures of my adorable little nephew. He is changing so much and his smile just melts my heart. He is a doll I must say.
So I decided to be ambitious this weekend and I painted my bedroom. It is so much harder to paint with all your furniture still there. I used to have just one grey wall, so I wanted to brighten it up a bit... I still have not decided if I like it, but its too late now. So I spent Wednesday night into Thursday morning painting and moving my big furniture by myself! I am so sore.
Later Andrew, Aleta, Connor, and a good friend Kathy came over for dinner. We BBQ burgers and had fun with the baby of course. I got a video of him smiling and he is just too cute. I am enjoying being an Aunt so much. Its been fun because the last couple times Connor has been over he is fascinated by me. He will smile for me and just stare at me, I love it! I hope everyone else had a great holiday too!
Connor is almost 8 weeks old! I can't believe it. He is starting to be his own little person. Personally, I think he is just like Andrew. 
I drove to Vernal on Wednesday and stayed with Dana, Jeff, and the kids. It was fun to bum around Vernal for a few days. It is not even the same place anymore. They built a new Rec center, and we watched the kid's swimming lessons, then on the 4th we went swimming there. Its a really nice place. The kids are getting so big Dakota turned 10 on the 4th, Madi is 8, and Dallin is 6. On the 4th we went to the parade and tried to go to the lake but they were packed, so we went to the rec center. Later that night we went to Dana's parents house and had dinner and watched fire works with the whole clan. When we were lighting off our own fire works all the kids and grandkids were sitting on the hill and as soon as they would start to spark high there little heads woudld disappear. Then a minute later they would pop up. It was like watching little rabbits. It was a lot of fun. Definately hard to leave though. I drove home on Saturday night to make it back for Connor's blessing. I didn't leave Vernal until 10!! I have never driven Daniels alone in the dark like that, it was definitely an experience.
On Sunday Connor was blessed. Andrew did so well. He is such a spiritual guy. Connor is starting to fatten up. He is over 7lbs now, and he is becoming his own little person. It was a nice afternoon with all the family. We went back to Andrew & Aleta's house for lunch and were able to just hang out with everyone, and of course snuggle the baby.
Happy birthday big sis!... I think we had a pretty good time. On the 18th we had a girls night, crystal, mom and I. Instead of cake we shared some cream puffs, went to a movie, and took it easy. 
This is the awesome jewlery Mom and I bought Crystal in Mexico. We looked around all over but this set was the coolest!
So I attempted another cake... and it actually turned out cute this time. I always do something to screw up cakes when I decorate them. So I was SO excited to make a cake the looked good. I can cook, but I am not a gifted baker.
John freaking out as usual... but ya gotta love him.
On Saturday we went out with the whole family (minus Dad... he is in Oregon) and ate some spicy indian food and went to Get smart... all in all a pretty fun night.
