Life according to Instagram

 Instagram has become my new Blog.  My sisters, Mom and I share random shots of our life via Intagram.  Love Instagram but my Blog suffers.  I publish my Blog, I was just looking at the one I published awhile back and it made me realize that I gotta keep up with my Blog.  It is my Journal and my scrapbook.  Summer was here and gone.  Thank goodness for Freezer Pops and Child Proof Scissors that made having an easy treat fast and INDEPENDENT! 
 My little Miss is now 10 months.  Where did the 9 Month post go?  Wow!  Food tastes great and I eat more of it!  I drink formula from a Bottle, I have moved out of Mom's room.  I sleep through the night and take two regular naps a day :)  Life is good!   I clap and point and crawl all over the place!  My Brother is still the funniest kid on the block and I laugh hysterically when he does the most simple things, like throwing dandelions in the air and screaming! 
 Painting with Grandma is still one of Xander's favorite things to do!  We do A LOT of stuff at home.  We need to work on getting out more but we do have FUN!




 We did make it to the Butterfly Pavillion with the Parker Downs Family!  Good tip is it is 5.00 after 3pm and 2 hours is plenty of time in this place.  Xander and I were the only ones brave enough to hold Rosie and get our sticker.  Rosie is a big spider!  We love the Parker Downs!  Always so much fun to be with them :)
 At the Library!  I am doing a Joy School for Xander as well as he is attending Birch Preschool starting Thursday!  So he will be busy 5 days a week!  And all for minimal cost.  Some say it is too much (Jeremy) But Xander LOVES people and so I think it is going to be a fun year!  I also will get to teach the Joy School 4 weeks!  Which I am real excited about!  So we will be visiting the Library a lot more :)
 My brother Jeff got this toy for Christmas sometime in the 80's and it is still fun to set up the tiles and knock them over!  Never gets old!
 Xander came down with his Rockies Shirt on one day and said, "This is my Rockies shirt, because I am a big fan"
 One of Celia's first days of being a crawler!  (9 months)
 Celia's first Pony tail!  (9months old)
 Xander's favorite thing, Playing Angry Birds on the iphone!  Loves Angry birds!
 Jeremy made a delicious pie from Cherries from his Parent's neighborhood in Brigham City Utah!
 We did make it Bowling for Family Home Evening one Monday!  Hopefully when Jeremy is done with school we can make it a more regular Occurance.  Family Home Evening that is. 

 Another Funny moment in Celia's life where she found Xander doing something very funny! 
 Wish we could have done more of this, this summer!  But it just didn't happen.  Jeremy worked almost every Saturday this summer and with my surprise pregnancy and Morning Sickness, and Summer School, we were lucky to make it to Boulder Falls for a small hike :)


 Why didn't they have more things like this when I was a kid!  Could have saved my parents a fortune in Water Bills!  We ran the hose all day on the trampoline and down the metal slide of our playground!
 Another regular hang out for us is Paul Derda Rec Center!  I take a class 3 times a week and Xander goes to the Day Care!  He loves it!  He thinks it is Rec Center Preschool.  We stay and play in their indoor playground for an hour or so after class.  This has been a staple for us all summer long as well!
 Celia enjoys frozen treats on a stick! 

Is adorable in the Dress her Grandma Johnson made her with needlepoint ducks done by hand!
