Mostly Maggie and Eleanor

My cute girl. I catch myself sucking on my bottom lip often and then realized where she got it from.
She still loves her exersaucer.










Maggie and Eleanor playing








Eleanor was laughing and Maggie was checking her out.

Maggie was really tired and didn't want to be put in the swing bec. she knew she would loose that fight



We went to eat lunch with Sandy on the Courthouse lawn for the concert at noon. So fun!





Playing with Daddy at the Courthouse





Maggie in her hat so she doen't get too much sun.

Eleanor talking with Aunt Sandy


Cute girl enjoying hanging out with family

She was so tired, but did well sitting in the bumbo for the first time.


They were both watching Andrea

My happy girl
Maggie playing with Sephie. She gets so excited.






Sephie just put her arm around Maggie. She wasn't suffocating her.
This was the last Sunday Maggie and Eleanor will be together for a while since Andrea, Greg and Eleanor moved this morning. So we dressed the girls in the matching dresses Aunt Paula/Grandma got for them. They had to endure tons of pictures from their mommies and Aunt Sandy. Here are some of the ones I took...




























































































They held hands a few times. I was happy to get it this time.



Eleanor is wearing her onesie that says "I <3 Daddy". So we had to take one with Daddy holding her.

July 4th and other stuff

This is a quilt my cousin Joyce (Jodie) made for Maggie. So very cute! Jael & Emalea came into town. I only got a pic of Jael with Mike and Maggie.

We were going up to Mike's office for a fairwell party so she had to wear the geekling outfit Daddy got for her.


The O'Brien family came to visit. Everyone was watching Maggie do tummy time.
The 4th was a long day for everyone. Paula and Sandy had been out all day. Paula went home and that night Sandy came over to be with us. She had been so hot all day and didn't really feel up to going out to see the fireworks. That was just fine with Mike since he wasn't feeling so well either. We also think that Maggie has started teething. She has been drooling more and chewing on everything and been a little more grumpy than her normal happy self. So we just stayed home. When I started hearing fireworks close to our house I went to check them out. They were close enough that I decided to take Maggie out to see how she did with them and Sandy came with us. One street over there were two groups of people who bought some really nice fireworks! Maggie liked them and didn't get scared of the noise they made.
Here is Maggie in her 4th of July outfit. Dang mosquitos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was the down side to being outside watching the fireworks. Fortunately we covered up Maggie and she didn't get bit.
Maggie got a new Sunday dress from Sandy. This Sunday was Raylene, Jim and Jackson's first Sunday in 1st ward. Jackson was wearing a cute little suit with an orange shirt. So they matched. It was so cute. Raylene was holding Maggie when the Bishop was reading in their records so when he read off their names he said something about the new infant in her arms. Then he figured out she belonged to me so he said she was just babysitting for Sister Brown. hee hee
She has been sleeping a lot. We're not sure if it's because she is growing so much or if it's bec. she is teeting or it could be a combination... But she is still our little happy camper!
