Most of you know Alix has been walking for three or four months now but my sister in Texas has not seen her walking yet and we promised her a video! So here ya go Kristie! She is quite the pro now. If I turn my back for two seconds she is gone so fast I have to run to catch up with her. She likes sneaking away ;)

One year picture

Here is our little cheeser!

I definitely think she takes after her dad ;)

Happy Birthday Alix!

Alix turned one yesterday, Happy Birthday Alix!

She is such a little cheeser!

We made two birthday cakes since we had lots of family coming to Alix's birthday party. I think they turned out pretty cute!

Alix and Dad hanging out in the kitchen

Alix and Emalia sliding down the slide. They were having so much fun. I can't believe how much Alix likes going down the slide. She usually turns around and goes down on her belly!

Sliding with Mom

Swinging with Dad

Alix playing in her birthday cake. It took her twenty minutes to figure out she could do more than pick the frosting off the cake and eat it

Alix and her friend Brinley. They are so cute!

Trip to Texas

Last month Alix and I went to Houston, Texas to visit my sister Kristie and her family. We stayed for a week and had so much fun! Here are a few pictures from our trip, I have lots more but do not have time right now to post them all.

Alix splashing in the ocean. She loved to play in the water!

Witnie and Alix hanging out with Auntie Kristie. Witnie is a goof, she stuck her tongue out at me as I was taking the picture and Alix was ignoring me.

Witnie at Maddie's birthday party. She doesn't look happy at all about wearing a party hat

Sarah doesn't look happy about being in charge of two babies wearing party hats!

Alix was crawling around the living room with the tube around her waist. It was hilarious, I wish I would have video taped it

Three 'baby eagles' at the zoo. They had a good time playing in this nest.

Maddie and Sydnie were so nice to Alix and loved to push her around in her stroller at the zoo

Look at the size of the fatty fish! He is as big as Alix! He probably could have swallowed her whole!

On our way to see the temple Alix put her hat over her face and fell asleep, I think she is the cutest funniest little girl ever!

Maddie and Sydnie at the Houston Temple

Me and Kristie at the Temple

Me and the monkeys!

Kristie has a pool in her neighborhood and we went and swam a few times. Alix really loves the water and Maddie had a good time pushing her around in her tube

Sydnie the trouble maker. Isn't she adorable?

Maddie pulling Alix around at the pool. Alix wasn't very happy about it!

Pine Crest California

Well it has been awhile since I posted so there are a lot of pictures! We went to Pine Crest, California for a little over a week and had so much fun! Jeremy's aunt and uncle let us stay at their cabin with them and it was only five minutes from the lake! We swam, kayaked, hiked, biked, played a TON of horse shoes, went to the outdoor movie theater and just hung out! We definitely needed a break like this and are looking forward to when we can go back!

We stopped at the Salt Flats on the way to California

Jeremy always carts Alix around on his shoulders, it is her favorite place to be!

My first attempt at riding a bike in like a year, in the highest gear going up hill. I ended up on the porch!

Alix's first time in a kayak. She really did have fun

Jer and I hiked around the lake, it was so beautiful!

Kelson, Grandpa, Jer and Alix climbing the big rocks

This is Walt and Vickie's cabin we stayed at, Jeremy's uncle and aunt

Alix's favorite thing to do was play in the dirt and eat it. As long as she was on the ground she was pretty content!

She is a funny funny girl!

We rode bikes quite a bit. This is when we rode from the ski resort back down to Walt's cabin.

My niece Kenadee. She is so cute and such a happy smiley little baby!

Jeremy and Alix kayaking and on the boat dock is Tyler, Amoree, Mike and Drew

This is everybody who spent the week at the cabin, except for Stephen. He had to leave early. There is Jeremy, Bonnie, Larry, Kelson, Mike, Amoree, Kenadee, Tyler, Vickie, Walt, Alix and Drew!

This is Drew, Jeremy's cousin. He came up from Lodi, California to hang out with us for the week. We had a blast with him!

Alix loves to wear Jeremy's hat! She always steals it and puts it on

All three boys on the kayak. I was amazed it didn't sink!

Jeremy and Alix in the kayak. Alix had a great time paddling around the lake with Jer

We stopped for a family picture on our way home. We were so sad to go but it was nice to come home!

Mormon Messages

I saw on one of my friend's blogs a video link to Mormon Messages on youtube so I added a link on my blog just to the right of all my posts under the About Me section of all the Mormon Messages on youtube because I think they are so powerful. They are excerpts from talks given at General Conference by some of our General Authorities. They are made into little videos by the church and include pictures and music. They have some awesome advice and amazing testimonies so if you get a few minutes, check them out! I also have a link to their direct webpage on youtube where you can watch all of the Mormon Messages the church has put out. There is also a link for LDS radio, it's a station you can listen to online and they have Music and the Spoken Word, Church news, General Conference talks, BYU talks and a children's discussion as well. I think it is amazing and I love hearing the stories told and experiences and talks given. I like to listen to it while I am working at home and playing with Alix. It definitely brings a spirit of peace into our home and helps me be more patient with Alix!

Kellie and Andy's Wedding

We are finally done with the wedding, woohoo! Kellie and Andy were married in the Salt Lake Temple Saturday June 27, 2009. The weather was so beautiful! Everything turned out so great. We managed to finish the waterfall the night before and had everything set up and ready to go.

Alix was playing on the ground at the temple and managed to find some dirt and bark to eat. She is such a silly girl. No matter where we go, if there is bark to be found she will find it and eat it!

Our cute little family at the temple

This is after Andy and Kellie came out of the temple

Grandma with all seven granddaughters. Emalia was not happy sitting on Grandma's lap and Sydnie would not wake up!

This is the waterfall we built in my parents backyard. It looks so great!

The happy couple. Aren't they cute ;)

Kellie and her favorite niece....okay one of her favorite nieces

Alix and Jeremy at the reception. Alix loves sitting on his shoulders

A few more waterfall pictures. We had to take a few because we all worked so hard on this thing!

Alix and her six week old cousin. Aren't they adorable!
