So smart

Vincent loves his bouncer chair. When ever I put him in it the right way he turns himself upside down in it. He likes his face to be closer to the toys. He can get in and out of it so well. He is so smart.

Class pictures

Today I got Vincents class picture.  Vincents smile totally made my day.

Mexican Riviera Cruise

Last week my parents took us on a Mexican Riviera Cruise and even though there are a ton of pictures, for now this one sums up the week.  We all had so much fun.  I know I haven't posted anything for a while but I promise I will post more pictures of our cruise soon.  My dad emailed this picture to me today and I just love how big Vincent's smile is.  I had to share it.

Hair cut

Vincent has had about 4+ hair cuts in his life.  Usually it's a 4 man job with only Travis and I to do it but this last time I was so sick of his long hair I just took the clippers and did it while Travis was at work.  We normally try and use the scissors because I always thought it would be easier but I was totally wrong.  Using the clippers and just cutting it all one length works so much better and faster.  Vincent wasn't screaming the whole time either so that made it a lot nicer.  I sure do love this little boy.  It always makes me sad after his hair is cut.  Even though I don't like the long hair I think he looks so much older when it's cut.  He doesn't look like a baby anymore, but I guess he's really not a baby anymore.  He's just getting so big and I'm not ready for him to grow up.

Camping

We have gone camping a few times this summer so I thought I would put it all into one post.  We started the summer off by camping on Memorial day weekend.  We went with my parents and little brothers to some family property in South Ogden.  It was a little rainy but still lots of fun.

Then we went camping with some friends in northern Utah.  It was really hot and no shade.  Luckily our friends had a trailer with a/c so that was nice to put the kids in there when they took a nap.  There were hot spots there that we went swimming in.  They were so nice and warm.  Vincent loved it because it was like bath water.  One of the days the boys went golfing while the girls talked and the kids played/took naps.  We borrowed a tent big enough to put Vincent's pack and play in which was really nice.

The next time we went camping we took our own tent and it's a lot smaller than the one we used before.  We thought it would be okay not having the pack in play for Vincent to sleep in but we were totally wrong.  I think we are going to need to buy a bigger tent. We went up the canyon and it was beautiful weather.  I always enjoy just sitting by the fire.  We were really close to a lake so we walked around there in the morning.

Both time that we went camping with friends they invited us so thank you so much (you know who you are) for letting us come with you.

Our last camp out for the year was over Labor Day weekend.  We went with my Dad and some of his friends and their families.  We went up to Christmas Meadows in the Unitas.  We made new friends and had so much fun.  Travis and I didn't have a fishing license but we did have fun in my dads kayak on the lake.   Vincent didn't sleep very well this camping trip but at least he was happy during the day, who needs sleep anyways :)

California

My brother and his wife had a baby a few months ago.  My parents were going to drive out to see the new little guy and asked if Vincent and I wanted to come or I might have invited my self but either way it was a fun short little trip.  We stayed at my uncles the first night.  He's always making something cool for my dad to put around his yard.  This time he made him a windmill that looked amazing.  

The next day we went to church with my brother where he blessed his baby.  My oldest brother and his wife were there too.  The rest of the day we were at my brothers house playing games, singing, eating and laughing.  It was so fun to have nothing to do and just relax with everyone.  Thanks for letting us all be crazy at your house.

 

The following day we went to Huntington Beach.  It was overcast so it wasn't to hot and the waves were 6+ ft high and the water was actually pretty warm.  It was so much fun.  My little brother and I had a ton of fun jumping the waves.  Thanks to my parents for watching Vincent while I got to play.  Vincent liked the water but didn't like the sand.  It's hard to have one with out the other at the beach.  So he played in the water for a while and loved it and then got sand in his eyes and was done.   I'm so glad Vincent does well in car rides and I'm so glad my dad has a truck big enough to hold us all.

Here is a video from this morning of Vincent sitting up in his crib playing.  The pictures are from last night when I went to go and get him ready for bed.  They are not the best quality but I didn't have time get my camera so I just had to use my phone.  I knew if I took to long I wouldn't have be able to get the pictures.
