This year is flying by!!!

I love how the older I get the faster time goes by!!!!!

7 1/2 months-this morning she finally had 2 little teeth poking through!

I like seeing people's houses--here's ours, at least some of it (with the couch cover I am holding in my birthday photo:) Yeah! The 2 bedrooms aren't much to look at yet. Mere's is more of a storage room. And yes we did clean up a little before taking photos :)

Here's our backyard--we could get grass, but then we would need a mower, and I want to do a little gardening too when it cools off. Not too big, but I like having the yard!!!!!!!

Birthday and wild animal park...

I know it can be disappointing to look at a blog and not see updates for a long time, I will now be updating my blog once a week on Sundays, thanks to all our readers-we love your comments and will try to be better at commenting back-we are enjoying your blogs too!!!

Wedding and Birthday!

   

For my brother's birthday we visited the Wild Animal Park where the animals have LOTS of room and they do breeding for endangered animals.

Me and Robert blowing out the candles on our cherry pie (our age is in binary)

   

Saki got to visit family--I wish I could have too :) our nephews and nieces are sure growing up!
   
Saki and Mere on the plane--Saki did a wonderful job caring for her and learned a lot...
      

On Saturday Saki, Robert and I attended the San Diego temple and my old roommate Brooke was there! It was fun to see her after so many years! I'm so glad that worked out! Here's Saki with Isei and Mary :)

    

This Thursday-Sunday we were in San Diego to visit Robert and Camille. On Friday Saki took Meresiana (to give me a me a break) to SLC where he was going for our friends Isei and Mary's sealing at the SLC temple. We are so thrilled for them :) I spent the day at the beach, swimming and walking:) and that evening went with my brother and sister to a Horton Hears a Who in the park. 

7 months old

So, I've been slacking on updating my blog, Mere hasn't been taking very long naps anymore (but at least she sleeps from 6 or 630 pm to 6am, that is great! thank you Olsen's for the book:) and it's hard to do anything on the computer with her around cause she goes straight for it and gets very upset if she can't tap the keys or pull the cord, I guess I can't lay on the floor with my laptop anymore... I want to put some videos up soon, she's trying to crawl :) so I need to clean my kitchen floor cause she's exploring more now. . . baby and me are getting some fun tan lines though I try to watch her sun exposure--she has light stripes where her fat rolls are around her wrists, neck, and legs, her legs are getting darkest because they stick out of the stroller :)
