Lately

Our move was successful and somehow we packed everything up and made it safely to Utah. It feels SO wonderful to be home and with family. Its finally starting to warm up in Park City and everything is in bloom. I know I left paradise, but this is a paradise all of its own. We are getting more and more excited to be settled in Portland. We plan on making that move early August. We found a great place there and I'll be managing the complex that we're living in.

Rae and I have been each others play buddies since we left all our good friends in Laie, miss you guys:( I've been on the hunt for kids her age for her to play with (I think she gets a little tired of my games sometimes!) We are starting a swim class this week and I think she will have a blast. Every time we come across water she charges for it.. pools, lakes at the park, even just puddles, she's wanting to get in. So this will be a good way to get her water fix.

Every day she looks more like a little girl and less like a baby. She says mama, dada, nana, ball and no no no (haha). She loves to walk backwards until she runs into something. She can drink out of a big girl cup (with assistance of coarse) She spins around and her latest trick is putting her foot to her nose. Her personality is just so sweet and quirky and cute. She really makes me laugh.

She's had lots of fun with Nana Jane and Papa Ray. My mom and I took Rae to the Hogle Zoo on Saturday and had a lot of fun. She loved the monkeys, the train ride and the big round water (again the water) statue in the entrance. She played in it for a while and got nice a wet, perfect way to cool off:)
