Zach's visit

Jake's brother Zach was on his way up to Idaho Falls to visit Misty so on his way he stopped by to say "hi" and have dinner with us. It was good to see him again even if it was only for a minute!

California

This past weekend my mom, dad, Barry, Jake, Bridger, and I drove down to California for my cousin Sara's wedding. We left Thursday night, stayed in St. George, then drove to LA Friday morning. Bridger was a little angel! He hardly made a peep the whole drive 'cause he slept most of the way. The wedding was so much fun and we're glad we got to be there for it.

Here we are at the wedding dinner the night before Sara and Mike's wedding

Lots of girl cousins were there!

Lexi's baby Vincent

One of my best friends, Lexi, recently had her baby. Laura and I went to visit her at St. Mark's a couple weeks ago. Her baby is adorable! And he has more hair than Bridger will ever have! I'm so excited for Lexi and her husband. Baby boys are so much fun. Here are some pictures of him:

Bridger's family

Jake won a cute picture frame from work that had ten slots for pictures in it so I made a collage of pictures of Bridger and his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents. It turned out something like this only the heads aren't cut off like they are here. (I don't know how to fix that!)

Brighton

We got Bridger a hiking backpack for his six month birthday. Jake and I have been so excited to go on a hike with him! We tried to go hike up to Twin Lakes last Friday but when we got up to Brighton it was SO cold we just had to hurry and eat our picnic and come back home. We tried again last night and the weather was perfect! We had a fun hike and Bridger did great in his little backpack.

Bridger is excited to go on the hike!

Hawaiian Kids

My mom and dad just got back from a trip to Hawaii and they brought the girls and Bridger some darling outfits back! Don't they look cute?

Six months already!

Bridger turned six months old on Aug. 3rd! I can't believe how fast the time has gone by! He had a check-up Aug. 4th and here are his stats:

Weight: 15 lbs. 12 oz. - 20%
Height: 27 inches - 71%
Head size: 17 1/4" - 52%



Bridger is babbling and squealing all the time now. He's working on sitting up but hasn't quite mastered that yet. Remember when I posted a video of him rolling over? Well, it's a good thing I got it on video that day because he hasn't rolled over since! His pediatrician says that it's probably because he has a very laid back personality. If he gets put on the floor he is content to just stay where he is so he doesn't try to move or roll over. So we'll see when he decides to start moving around. He is the best baby in the world and we love him SO much!

Bridger Swimming

We've gone swimming quite a few times this summer and Bridger loves it! Here are some fun pictures of him swimming:

Bridger's trying on my glasses. He looks better in them than I do!

Here's Bridger swimming at Cookie and Steve's enjoying the warm pool. He gets so relaxed he practically falls asleep!

One day we went swimming with the girls, Makenzie, Ivy, Eliza, and Grandma

Another day we went swimming with our cousins, aunts, and Grandma. Here's a good picture of Bridger and Great Grandma Donna.
