Summer Fun

We have had a wild and wonderful summer! Here are some of the events from our summer 2012!

 Dallin turned 24! 

So as tradition he got his requested breakfast in bed and we toilet papered the bedroom!(I think Mitch may have enjoyed the breakfast and toilet papering even more than Dallin did.)

 

 It's A GIRL !

As one of Dallin's birthday presents we went in for the 20 week ultrasound to find out how our baby was doing and discover the gender! Afterward we invited the family over for dinner and gender revealing cupcakes!

Mitch was a little nervous to find out it was a girl, but as you can see he still enjoyed the cupcake very much!

Mitch also found some new favorites!

Mitch LOVES dipping his food in almost anything with strong flavor just like his daddy!

Mitch LOVES shoes! We think it is because shoes mean he gets to go outside! He adores wearing any and all shoes that he can find!

Mitch LOVES his bath time! He has been dying for Dallin to come back and give him the "FUN" bubble baths!

Mitch LOVES his blankets! It might be hard to tell but this morning he had gathered 4-5 blankets! (In Mitchie Judd's words they are his dum dums!)

Mitch LOVES parades!

Mitch LOVES swimming! (This is his swimming outfit, which he brings to me with his swim diapers and tells me "wimming"!) 

Mitch LOVES cars! The movie cars, matchbox cars, big cars, toddler sized cars, pictures of cars, ect.!

Mitch LOVES a lot of things these days! His other great loves include his stroller(dum dum)/walks, ROCKS, trucks (doo doos), coloring with anything and on anything (we are working on this one). He loves turning on all the fans in the house at the same time, playing in any form of water, being mommas helper and buddy, wrestling with dad, and playing with Emmy, Moe, his grandmas and papas!

Before nursing school......

After nursing school...

I am finally done with school! Now I just have to be a REAL mom who is home all the time... and how to survive in China with a very cute husband and two awesome children!

Timeline:

Play with Mitch and Dallin everyday... all day -and when dallin is not available Mitch and I will  probably make Ash and the gang or Mom or moe or anyone who is willing play with us!

Next...

send Dallin to China- Aug. 20th... Maybe

Do lots of Pinterest projects while dallin is gone... 

Be lazy

Maybe take the NCLEX

Get a million NSTs and go to a million and a half Dr. appointments plus a few ultrasounds

Welcome Dallin home a month later

Have another cute baby- Jules

Wait for her to grow up

Send Dallin back to China

Wait for Jules immune system to kick in...

Then eventually we will move to China too.... probably dragging my mother with us... and a few buckets of hand sanitizer and toilet paper (all I know is those two came in handy in Tonga... it probably translates to all foreign countries.

Well in the Grinch's words "I'm booked" so if you need me we'll have to work you into my busy schedule :)

....these are a few of Roo's favorate things!

Halloween!

 This is the ridiculously cute costume his grandma Joan and cousin elaina made him!

The Friday before Halloween is my amazing sister Ashley's birthday so we went to the Red Barn to celebrate during the day and out to dinner afterward. Mitch loved banging on the pumpkins... the rest of it he did not love so much since he was exhausted and had a cold. Of course once we started eating the apple cider slushies he perked right up!!!

 Since anything electronic that mom and dad use are Mitchell's favorite things to play with Dallin's dead computer has now become one of Mitch's favorite toys. (It doesn't hurt that he can see a reflection of himself in it!)

And did I mention Mitch can walk!!!! He is a maniac! We love it!

LOngest blog Post-Anniversaries, balls, birthdays, and just parties!!!!

 We went to the cabin for a family night party- the Stake Presidency 2001-2011 having one last party. Well Dallin and I were freezing so we found great grandmas sweaters in the backroom and decided to sport them! Doesn't Dallin look great in girl sweaters!!! :) So cute.

Mitch also had to have a picture since he has such a great outfit too! (Cookie monster onzie and BYU sportsuit!)

 Mitch's last day at Seven Peaks! It was a great day and we can't wait to go back next year! Mitch loves water!!!

 On our visit to grandma Betty's Mitch transformed into a baby mutant ninja turtle!

 Dal and I both had to take a double look at this picture when we loaded the pictures... This is our darling nephew Jed-Not Mitch! We LOVED getting to play with him for a few days when he and his mom and sisters flew in for Grandma Mitchell's funeral, ( which was such a great funeral for a wonderful woman!)

 I had to steal this cute picture from my sister-in-laws blog! So cute! This is Dallin with our darling nieces Addy and Lexi- Jed's sisters.

 The boys with their grandma Joan! So cute... yes mine is the naked, round headed Charlie Brown :)

 I got to fix my little sister Camille's hair and makeup for a Ball she was invited too! Now Ashley, myself, Moe, and Camille have worn this dress to a dance!

For our anniversary we had a picnic at the park and after dinner Mitch got to go on the swings... his favorite! He loves the park!

Dallin's LOVE brownies.

 The last day of our STAYCATION with the Christiansen family! We stayed at the cabin, went hiking and went to the alpine slides.... and to see Captain America. At the movie I had an interesting diaper experience, if you want a ridiculous story just ask me later!:)

The Hike

This picture got a little out of place. This is from our weekend with the Palmer family for Grandma Mitchell's funeral. Joan and Mark made the cutest wind tunnel and let the kids earn their toys by trying to catch the fake money in the wind tunnel. These awesome swords are one of the prizes! Mitch was pretty intense sword fighting his cousin Jaxson!

 And after all the fun Roo has to go to bed. His favorite book to have his daddy read him before bed is Brown Bear Brown bear- with all the special sound effects.

Good night!

The life of a little Roo

 For starters BYU is playing the U on Saturday and it is an even bigger deal now that I am at the U... but still love BYU football! In fact, I got brave and wore my BYU football shirt to school today! Mitch is also sporting his SO CUTE BYU sports suit my cute cousin gave him!

 Mitch is becoming more helpful all the time! He now helps me sort the wash, do the dishes (by splashing and soaking me, himself, and the floor!) and take out the trash... well really he just likes to play in the trash can. Mitch loves water and so when he found some in the toilet he tried out his dish doing tricks of splashing in it! I hope his enthusiasm for doing chores sticks!

I just had to add this picture because he looks like such a cute little goon! These are his 12 month pjs that are glow in the dark aliens! When my mom gave us these I imagined him wearing them around during Christmas time... by 8 months they fit perfectly! :) Who knew kids grew so fast!
