Silly David

They kicked me out of bed and Marlee took my spot!


We were picking up pizza for everyone after swimming at Teresas last week I think, David just being a goof


I had these two random pics of David that didnt really fit into any post so here is a post just for him!
I feel like the luckiest girl in the world finally having a wonderful peaceful marriage. David is the perfect daddy to Marlee, the best husband to me, and a great brother to his sisters. He works so hard for his little family, and is working even harder to get the raise he deserves.
My favorite is when I am actually funny enough to make him laugh, because he makes me laugh all day. I love snuggling up and watching movies on lazy days, and just watching him love his daughter.
We may not own our own house, or any expensive things. We cant afford to go on any fancy vacations, but we are perfectly happy as we are. Dreaming of the future and what we can create in the future is something we are still planning and working on. Living in the moment is more important to us tho. I believe we can do both and enjoy every moment of life together.
So David I am sorry I cant put my feelings on paper (or computer) very well, but I dont need to write it to tell you how much I love you. I think you kinda already know :)
I love you! Happy late Fathers Day

Rocky is catching up!

Star reading to Marlee and Rocky


Marlee is listening so well



Rocky is just plumping up so fast! At the 2 month check up Marlee was almost 11 lbs and Rocky was just over 11! I cant believe he was so much smaller than her and is already out weighing her. I wasnt able to catch it on camera, but when they lay next to each other they just smile. Its SO cute. Its like they just know what they are each thinking, they dont even have to talk.

Dinner with the new addition

Megan and Marlee



My dad and Lizzie's dad talking about who knows what




My older brother Nick is getting married in August. There was a dinner for her family to meet ours, but we were sick so didnt end up going. They went out with my dad and his wife, so I invited myself to go along.
The new addition to the family is Lizzie, she fits in perfectly with us. Her mom has the same name as me, Megan wanted to meet Marlee and ended up holding her the entire dinner. My baby kind of does that to people :)
We went up a canyon in Salt Lake to a place called Ruth's Diner, it was really nice and there was live music playing. We kind of separated us 3 kids talked to whole time and the adults talked the whole time. Only a few times we all combined the conversation. So it was nice to get to sit with my older brother and his future wife and get to know them better, but most of all it was fun to just goof off like we used to before the high school attitudes hit.
Ever since that dinner we have been doing things more often and I love it!


Speaking of siblings getting along.....David and Maren are getting closer and closer and we now have a weekly game night. Thursdays as soon as I get up and get ready we go over and just hang out. Watch a movie or play games. When John gets home we make dinner and usually dont leave till around midnight. Its great getting to know the kids and Maren better, but we realized we have been leaving Teresa out so now we may have to switch off weeks.....or she can just come down on Thursdays too :)

Marlee Daddy time

this is what david and marlee do for fun

Now everyone gets to play with Marlee, she was left out because no one under 16 is allowed in the room



Me trying to get her to smile



Pokin out her belly


Vienas brother Tai and his wife and her GIANT ring! I kept getting distracted by it! Enlarge the picture and look at how massive it is!

So baby Neolani is doing great! She is up to just over 3 lbs, only has a c-pap now for breathing. She has no more IVs! They do still have to do blood work every few days so she gets her heels pricked. Mom, Dad and the Grandparents can hold her. But not me :( The parents can change her diaper and give her baths when ever they can make it down to the hospital. Viena was pumping for her, but she was having trouble keeping her milk in so she had to give it up. Now she is on formula most of the time but sometimes she gets donated milk. I was thinking about doing that since I have such a huge supply of it, I will look into more when I get a chance.
She is our strong little niece and we cant wait for her to finally come home!!!
