First Tooth (as told by Leah)

Here is my first tooth! It took a long time to come out, but now I love to show it off.

Oh brother, Mom's got the camera out again...


Okay lady; you've had your fun- now give me the camera!

Hogle Zoo

We went to the Hogle Zoo this weekend, and had a blast showing Leah all of the different animals. Even though she won't remember it, we had a great time.

This cute little monkey would hop onto a platform right up against the window and stare right at you- Leah thought it was great!

One of Leah's favorite toys is "Joshua Giraffe"- here she is with the toy and the real thing.
We ended the day with a train ride around the park- it was so hot, we went home at 2:00!

Our trip to Yellowstone

We went to Yellowstone/Jackson Hole/Grand Teton National Park this past weekend. The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful. We didn't see much wildlife- lots of buffalo, a few deer and a beautiful elk with huge antlers. Despite long hours in the car, sunburns and too much fast food, we all had a lot of fun.

The Falls at Yellowstone.

Old Faithful (Leah was more interested in the geyser than the camera!)

This is Jackson Lake with the Tetons in the background.

We took a boat ride around Jenny Lake. It was cold in the shadow of the Tetons, so Leah and I shared Jason's sweatshirt.

What's with the tongue?!?!

We've taken some great pictures of our latest adventures with Leah, and they all have one thing in common- the tongue! It's always sticking out- I'm hoping it's because she just cut her first tooth (end of teething-induced sleepless nights? Let's hope so!) and likes to feel the tooth, but if not, I'm afraid the tongue is here to stay! I did add one nice picture at the end that doesn't have it.

Adventures in Family FHE...

Helping Mom with the laundry...

Visiting DW at the library...

On a walk with Dad...
On a family picnic up Provo Canyon... Leah has a great smile when the tongue isn't in the way!

Leaps and Bounds

Leah has grown so much in the last few weeks- she has started eating solids- sweet potatoes are her favorite (as you can see here) and she sits up like a pro. Heather (Melanie's sister) mentioned that Leah is cuter now than ever, and I think she's right- she is so full of personality, laughs and smiles a lot, and has the chubbiest little cheeks. Quite a change from the little larva that she was six months ago!

Watching fireworks on the Fourth with Dad!

Hanging out with Mom in the yard...

We took a "Girls Trip" to St. George- here are Sarah, Leah and Allison in a giant rocking chair somewhere in the middle of Utah!

Summertime...

We're having a great summer! Here are a few of the latest adventures.

Horray! Jason graduated from BYU. He'll be back to school in the fall for his Master's degree.

Girly time with Mom...

A trip to Colorado for Grandma Morales's graduation...

Trips to the pool...

A ride around the lake in Grandpa's canoe...
Sitting up and starting solids are right around the corner, so I'll try my hardest to post again soon!

Happy Easter

We had a great Easter celebration. Leah wasn't very interested in the Easter Bunny, but had a great time chewing on her dress!

Jason's sisters Sarah and Emily visited from Denver last week, and Leah loved all of the attention she got!

And here are a few everyday pictures.

Leah looks so cute in her new hat!

Ready to roll over? Not yet, I hope!
