First Day of Church at our new ward at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building!

It was such a beautiful building we feel so blessed that we can attend church at this ward and everyone one was so nice and welcoming!  It is a ward of church leaders and older retired people, which is exactly what we love.  No politics, just genuine people and the spirit!


Also the first day we put Natalie's hair in a pony tail!  Big day!

All the kids over at Grandma's house on Sunday.

Memorial Day Weekend


It was raining all day today so Natalie got to wear her brand new rain coat and matching boots that Grandma Lowen bought her!  So cute!  She had a bit of a hard time walking in them, but she thought they were pretty fun.

Out with Aunty Tash at Uncle Ben's grave visiting him.

Putting down the flowers.

She looks so cute in her rain jacket!

Wasn't too sure about the rain though...

The BBQ at Grandma Pe'a's house with the twins.

Hi mommy!

Super chic in her new shades!

She loves putting on glasses of any type!

Special Visit from Auntie Jens from Canada

Auntie Jen and Auntie Jen from Canada came down in May to visit.  We had lots of fun!  We took them to Citi Creek Mall and to the Park to feed the ducks and shopping.  We had lots of fun!   And in only about a month we get to see them again when we go to Canada for the summer.  Yeah

At Temple Square with the two Auntie Jen's


Um.....can some one help me please?.....I want to play!

Out shopping at Target, for Jen and Jenn's new place in Canada. (they are not the same place lol)

We of course have to play on the big giant ball!

Fun at the new City Creek Mall with Aunty Jen and Aunty Jen.  It was kind of cool day out in May, but we had a lot of fun at the mall.  I am about 20 weeks pregnant in this pic and feeling great!

Nells at the mall

Walking with Aunty Jen

We went to the Cheese Cake Cafe afterward with them and we all had ordered Lemons for our water.  Natalie noticed the lemons on the table and kept trying to reach for them.  We finally gave her one and her is the progression haha.....I still don't know if she likes them or not.

Trying it out....

Not totally sure if we like it or not....Making really funny faces though! 

I think we have decided that it is not so good?.....

...and wanting to try it again!  haha

Feeding the ducks!  Natalie tried really hard to feed the ducks, but she kept eating all the bread herself.  She loved chasing after the ducks though!  She almost chased them right into the water a couple of times lol

LUAU/BBQ


At Jasons house with daddy practicing for the BBQ later that night.  Natalie had a lot of fun playing with Jason's kids and Arenui.  They went for wagon rides, played with balls, and even got to jump on a trampoline.  The older kids thought Natalie was a lot of fun to play with. She loved the attention! Natalie with one of Jason's girls

Jumping and having fun! 
The BBQ that night was Hawaiian themed. It was actually a birthday party for a lady named Gerry who beat cancer.  El and his band played for her a couple of years ago at her wedding and she loved them so much that she wanted them to come and sing at her birthday as well.  It was pretty good.  Hamburgers, hotdogs, chips and pasta salad.   Natalie an entire half of a hotdog, bun and all!  So proud of her.  She had fun dancing and running around with all the kids. The band singing the happy birthday song with was a huge hit!  Everyone got up and started dancing and cheering!  Natalie even had fun dancing to this song
Daddy and his band did a really great job at this Luau/birthday party! It was really fun!
