Happy Birthday Elder Larsen!!

Today is Elder Trevor Larsen's 20th bday(also my parents anniversary-happy anniversary mom and dad)!! Happy Birthday Trev-dog! He is serving an LDS mission in Jacksonville, FL. He has been out now for almost 9 months! Time sure flies! It was so fun to talk with him on Mother's Day on Sunday. He is awesome and we sure love him! Here's a few pictures from the past...

McKay, Mike, & Trevor in Cali!

Trevor is AWESOME!!

Wow, look at that sandy face, how'd that happen...?!

Oh that's right, the boys built a tunnel in the sand and Trevor attempted to crawl through it!! Haha that was so awesome!!!

Trevor here in Florida! I stole this pic off their Mission blog! But he second one in on the left! Keep up the great work Elder Larsen! We sure love you back at home!!

An All American Day

A weekend or two ago, we spent the weekend the all American way... First we ate In N Out for lunch. Delicious burgers, fries, and a strawberry shake, of course! Then we headed to the pool to catch some sun! Hadley girl is obsessed with bath time, so we thought we'd take her swimming to see how she liked it!

She loves being outside!
Here she goes!!
It was a little cold, so I wasn't sure if she'd like it or not, but for the most part she did! She never cried at least!
A little unsure sometimes...
She even laughed when I would kick her feet and splash in the pool!

She loves her daddy!
She loved being "crazy" in the pool
Look at those rolls! And the shaved head...! Hadley's little rolls are adorable!
Warming up!
After swimming Hadley girl took a nap in her stroller for about an hour next to me and Meredith while we caught some sun and swam laps. The boys (Mike, Tanner, & McKay) had fun in the hot tub! Little Gunnar took a snooze too and then hung out with us girls once he got hungry!
It was a fun day and we are looking forward to having more fun in the summer sun!!

McKay's House

Mike's little brother, McKay, goes to EVIT for the Construction classes. He had the opportunity to build a little house, it's pretty awesome and we are glad we were able to check it out!

Good job McKay, it turned out AWESOME!!!

I'm a Big Boy Now!

So this one day Mike & Tanner decided to shave their heads.... It was pretty awesome, and we documented this night since it was hilarious! Pictures really are worth 1,000 Words!!

Awesome....

Miss Independent!!

Lately Hadley girl has become even more independent! When she eats "big girl" food, she has decided she needs to do it herself, or if I am allowed to feed her, she has to help! So we came up with this brilliant plan to give Hadley her own spoon and then I feed her with a different one. That way she is "feeding herself". She is actually really coordinated and was great at getting her spoon in her mouth! Here's how it went...!

It was going good, until her gag reflex kicked in....

Take the spoon Mom, I've had enough! Luckily, when we tried again she learned her limits and is back to enjoying feeding herself!! Haha she is such a cutie and we sure love her!!

I Love My Daddy!!

Hadley sure loves her Daddy! She loves to play with daddy and he treats her like the Princess she is!





Daddy pulls Hadley behind his bike when we go on bike rides in the morning! Mike figured out a way to strap the carseat in the trailer so she is nice and safe!

Daddy lets Hadley watch Baby Einstein on his phone while we eat dinner! Keeps her entertained!

AND......

Hadley loves off-roading with Daddy! A few weekends ago it was a rainy weekend and Mike was watching Hadley. I came home to an extremely muddy driveway (actually the whole street had mud tracks). Mike said it was time for Hadley to get a taste of off-roading and she had fun!!

Later, Steve & Erin and the kids decided they wanted to try it out too! So we met up with them to have a little more fun in the mud!

It sure was fun!

Look at that muddy truck!

Don't worry we only stayed on the dirt roads!

Mike & Steve had a blast! We took the trucks through a car wash and Mike's still was filthy!!

Look at all that mud!!! It was a fun adventure and Hadley had a great time with her dad!

Growing Up So Fast!!

Hadley is already 5 months old! She recently had a Dr. visit and here is the latest:





Height: 25.5 in.


Weight: 14 lb. 2 oz.


Head Circumference: 43 cm





She is in the 75th percentile for height and 25th for weight! Sounds about right! She is sure growing up fast!


Hadley playing with her little gym. Next thing you know, she pulled the whole thing over trying to get that toy! She was quite amused seeing it knocked over!

She is getting really good at sitting up! She's almost there!

She loves to hold herself up (with a little help) on her toys!

And loves to sleep with blankets over her face!

She embraced the sippy cup and was such a big girl about holding it herself!

Hadley sure is cute and we are loving every moment with her!
