New Clothes and Old Friends

Our friends April and Grace let us borrow some clothes for Summer. Grace is two months younger than Summer, but she is almost just as big. Grace has boxes and boxes of clothes, so we're going to borrow a few each week and then return them the next. Here's Summer wearing two of Grace's outfits.


This is actually one of the only times Summer has worn a head band. It's cute, but I don't think she liked it.











On another note, I woke up yesterday morning and decided I wanted to get in touch with some old friends from my college days. (Ha, that makes me sound so old.) So I got onto the BYU-I alumni webpage and searched for classmates. I found everyone that I was looking for, sent out some emails, and have had a great time catching up with everyone. I got just addresses of a few people who didn't have their email available, and I'm excited for the adventure of getting back in touch with them too. It's been great seeing pictures and hearing how everyone is doing. Good times!

Summer's 4 Month Checkup

Summer went in for her four month checkup last Friday. She was 24 inches in length and 11 lbs 4 oz. The doctor said she is looking good and healthy. He saw her roll over and said that we wouldn't need to worry at all about her development; she's ahead of schedule and doing great. Before we know it, Summer will be studying in school like her dad! She's already surfing the internet like him!

Happy Halloween!

What an awesome Halloween Party! First of all, we got a killer deal at Goodwill on everyone's costumes this year. We found a Tinker Bell costume for Summer for $3, so we decided to go as Tinker Bell, Peter Pan (Britt), and Cap'n Hook (Rhett). We improvised on the Peter Pan and Hook costumes: Rhett cut and sewed (about thirty minutes before the party started) to get everything ready. He cut the extra off Peter Pan's hat and then sewed it back up, and then he used a black felt purse for his own hat (we just pinned the skull and cross bones onto it). 

We played lots of games and ate lots of yummy food. Loved the spider crackers, the mummy dogs, the eyeball cupcakes, the homemade root-beer, and the extremely unhealthy but deliciously irresistible caramel popcorn. The first game we played was the flour game, and we both lucked out and had to dig the starburst out of the pile of flour. Rhett kissed Summer afterward, so she even got in on the flour too!

Summer in the Swing

While we were at Granmda Searle's, Summer had a good time enjoying the swing. This is also a fun clip of her talking. She talked almost non-stop at during the week in Shelley, and now that we're home, she doesn't say anything!

Summer's Sunday Dress

Summer is growing so much. We just can't believe how fast she's growing. All she ever does now is smile, stand, and squeal. She is such a joy in our lives.

We received this dress as a gift after she was born. I remember thinking it would never fit her! But now it does . . . well, almost. It's still a little big for her, but it looks adorable on her. 

Tonight we had dinner with the Greens: Josh and Rachel. It was delicious lasagna with veggies and rolls. Yum! Then we played an awesome game of Ticket to Ride. Josh smoked us all, but it was a lot of fun. Finally, we ended the night with the addicting game of Mario Kart on the Wii. It's a good thing that we don't have one of those. Poor Summer would get a little neglected with mom sitting in front of the TV all day trying to win. She has a weakness for Mario Kart (and any other kind of nintendo games). We had a great time, and it was nice of Josh and Rachel to invite us over after our long drive back from Shelley.

Mr. Alligator Song

Mom and Summer went back to Shelley for the week to attend their close friend's funeral. Monday night, Bry and Myka's family were there, and this was the Family Home Evening song everyone participated in. Yes, Brecken is playing the ukelele, and yes, Grandpa Searle is making up those dissonant chords!
