Wild Child

Oh my, cute little Whitney is a wild child! She is all over the place, all of the time! She never stops moving and has to be entertained constantly! She has already taken on her daddy's personality. She has a swing that she sits in and loves. It rocks back and forth and the other day (while it was still swinging) she had somehow rolled over in it and her whole body was dangling off and she was INCHES and MINUTES away from falling off, poor parenting! I wanted to run and grab my camera but thought better of it and rescued her instead. She is my little spaz, but I love her and she ALWAYS keeps me entertained!



Feeding time is quite the challenge! She sits in her bumbo, but she arches her back and tries to stand up. Everytime I go to give her a spoon full of food she tries to stand up and the food goes everywhere but her mouth! Her hair, eyes, nose, EVERYWHERE.

Whitney has learned how to roll from her stomach to her back. (She use to only be able to roll from her back to her stomach) Now, she is everywhere. I found her like this. She rolled off her blanket to under her swing, she decided to spit up everywhere and she was just sloshin and playing in her spit up. And this was in a matter of minutes!


So in this picture, check out her arm. She gave herself a hickie from sucking on it so hard!

The other morning I went into her room to check on her and she was sleeping like this. I had laid her on the other side of her crib, but somehow she rolled to the edge got her leg stuck in between the crib and she was sound asleep sucking on her thumb. So so funny! I couldn't stop laughing and taking pictures!

Danny went boating on Saturday with his family. He was very excited to get some sun on his handsome body. However, he got fried and the burned caused a little irritation. After church on Sunday he decided to air out his sunburn so he took off his shirt, held Whitney, and posed for some GREAT pictures. :) He is about as handsome as it gets. What's funny is, he thinks he's going to run the St. George Marathon next month. Good luck! He is calling it, "How to train for a marathon in one month" and he says that he is going to write a book about it, ya well see about that! Whit and Danny definetly keep me on my toes. They are too much a like, it's kinda scary!

Dasvidania Jess!

For those who don't know Dasvidania means good bye in Russian. My cute little sister Jessie left for Russia today for 4 months to teach English. She will be living in St. Petersburg with a russian family. I'm so excited for her, it will be such a neat and great experience! We are going to miss her so very much! She is my little buddy! We do everything together and she has me going on many crazy adventures with little Whit. I will miss her everyday text messages, phone calls, and many visits! Thank you Jess for being a great example to me and teaching me so much about loyalty and friendship. You are a great friend to all those around you and you will do a GREAT job teaching English! I love you!!!

I am so grateful for families! I'm grateful that I was raised in the gospel and I'm grateful for my parents who taught me. I am also grateful for all my cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents who have been there for me my whole life. I can't think of anything that I enjoy more then spending time with them. I am so grateful for Danny. He is a great husband. He is such a hard worker and is so patient with me! Good Luck Jess, we love you!

She's just so exhausted!

Whitney's Boyfriend

We have started babysitting our friends Rochelle & Chad's little boy Camden on Wednesdays and it has been so fun! I put Whit and Camden in her crib and went to get my camera and when I got back Whit had rolled over and Camden was sucking on her arm. It was pretty funny! They are so cute together. So fun!

Summer Fun!

Whit has started rolling over and I think its the cutest thing ever! Every morning when I go to get her up out of her crib she has rolled over and she looks up at me and gives me a big smile! I love my little baby girl and can't enough of her!!

Parkers Birthday dinner at Chili's with little Whit, big Whit, and grandma Suz. Parker just turned 15. I can't believe how big he is getting, time just goes by to dang fast!

For mutual last week we went and hiked Donut Falls. Whit did great! She is such a good baby and so stinkin cute (although my opinion is super biased!) :)

We had dinner with the Stallings, which was way past due! Cute Racquel is 8 months pregnant and you can't even tell! It was so fun to see them and we all enjoyed the guitar playing. Good times!

Darren and Lacy were in town and we got to see them for a little bit. It is always fun to get together with them and it makes us appreciate great friends!

Boating! I will admit, I had a little bit of anxiety because of the RAIN and HAIL and LIGHTNING we experienced on the lake! However, it was a lot of fun especially watching the boys tube.

Danny's Family. We all went to dinner for Dom's 12th birthday.

Picnic at the Terraces. Cute little Ethan! Isn't he just the cutest?!?!

We're sad that summer is coming to an end, but we have had alot of fun and have created lots of lasting memories. Thanks everyone for making it so great!

Girls Camp

We just returned from girls camp last week and we all had a lot of fun! It was such a great learning experience for me. It was fun to get to know the girls better and bond with them. We had great leaders and it was fun to spend time with them and learn from their great examples! I love serving in YW's and I love the leaders I serve with! Here are some pic's of our fun outing:




Our theme was WOW: Women of Worth. Here is all of us with our awesome sweatshirts! Bishop Bradshaw sportin a sweet "Hello Kitty" party hat! What a trooper.
Me, Dr. T, and Meg.
Whitney got to come to girls camp. Lucky girl! We stayed at our stake property up past Park City which was super close to Vicki and Harold's house so me and Whitney would sleep over there. Vicki babysat Whit Wednesday and Thursday while I was at camp. It was also fun to spend time with them in the evenings. Oakley is so beautiful and Harold and Vicki are so accommadating! I had gourmat breakfast and dinner every day! It was awesome! I could totally get use to that.
We had a great time and I'm grateful for all the wonderful leaders who put so much time into making camp awesome! Edie did a FABULOUS job with the food and Jolene was the perfect person as our camp director. I also want to thank the girls for teaching me so much through their un spoken example, making me want to be a better leader/person, and for always making me laugh!

Newport Beach!

We love the beach and go every year with my WHOLE extended family. This is the 14th year we have gone and there were 62 people! I LOVE the beach and LOVE my family so it's a perfect combo. This was little Whit's first year (obviously) and she did great! Unfortunately, Danny couldn't go because he had to work. We missed him, but still had fun. Thanks to everyone who helped us, especially my parents who were SO extremely helpful and without them we probably wouldn't have been able to go! We love you Suz booz and Whitter! Here are some pic's of our very fun trip:

Whitney has about 10 mom's. It's pretty sweet. I don't even need to do anything. Just feed her about every 3 hours and then pass her on to one of her other mom's!

Most of the girl cousins. We almost take up the whole beach there is so many of us!

Just sleepin on the beach.
