the lazy blogger...

So, it has nearly been a month since I posted anything. I wish I could say that I've been really REALLY busy, but I haven't. I've just been really REALLY lazy when it comes to blogging. Part of the problem is that with my new computer, I've had to reinstall the programs that I use to get my pictures off the computer/edit/etc. Well, I finally buckled down today and got it all on the new computer. Here is a picture overload of what we've been up to.
Sitting on Aunt Dee's fireplace..
Outsmarting the baby-proof cabinets about 2 seconds after I put the dumb things on..

Going to the park!


Happy Father's Day!!

A new found love of mashed potatoes!
Silly faces..

First skinned knee..
Growing so big that Mom had to get out the 12-18 mo. size clothes. Here's a new outfit that Mimi and Papa gave us a while back. :)

Fourth of July!!
Breakfast at Uncle Scott and Aunt Pam's house for the family reunion.

Movie Star!

The 2nd Annual parade at Mimi and Papa's house. The kids decorated bikes, strollers, a goat and a wagon. The baby wagon. Too cute!
The grand finale of the parade.. mmm.. candy!
Big box of cute hand-me-downs from cousins. I love these overalls!

A new car seat..

My first adventure in the world of Marshmallow fondant. Fun, huh?
First trip to Willow Park Zoo.
Developing a love of purses already.
Last, but certainly not least, we had a family reunion this weekend. Here are the pictures I took. It was a fun time! Plus, I don't know Justin's extended family all that well, so it was fun to get to know them all a little better.

Hopefully I'll keep on top of the posting a little better in the month to come, so there won't be any more mammoth posts like this one. Other things going on this month that we didn't take pictures of:

1. Tutu came to visit for a few days! We were too busy having fun with her to take any pictures. She was only at our house for 2 days before she ran off to Lake Powell.

2. My brother Dave is in town and will be coming up for a visit this week. We can't wait!!

3. My sister Kelley is getting married next month, and me and Josie will be taking off to California for the wedding, and extending our trip for a little visit with the Californian siblings.

We have lots of fun to come and can't wait! We'll be sure to keep on posting.. :)

I was going to comment on your lack of posts lately :) Looks like you have been having a ton of fun. Josie looks so cute, isn't it fun at this age? (usually) The cake looks neat, I am very impressed.
