Trip to Seaworld

Here we are when we entered into Sea World. Yes we did pick up two other girls but they came with us also the parents. We let their parents have a date with no kids. In the picture is Mark, Me (Deborah), Melissa, Katelynn and Sydney.

Here is Melissa, Katelynn, Sydney and Mark all waiting for a show to start.

Here we are again waiting for the Dolphin Show to start. When the show was
done Sydney was sound asleep.

Here they are again but they saw the helicopter and wanted a picture before we saw any
other animals that lives in the Arctic.

Here we got to play in a bears cave for a while to get our wiggles out.

Here is Mark and Sydney looking at Baby Beluga. Can't you tell she liked it.

Things to catch up on.

I haven't updated our blog for a while so I will tell you what has happened. We went to the county fair and the state fair to see how my critter had done. It looked really good. Mel had her birthday on August 21 so she is now four years old. Mel is going to school where Deborah works at. Mark turned 30 and I threw him a surprise party. We had friends over and it was fun. We did 2 yard sales we did good on the first one and not so good on the second one. Mel sold some cookies, fruit punch and lemonade all the people just loved her and she did really good also.

OUR NEW KITCHEN

Melissa's Fort

Melissa wanted to build a fort so we gathered some blankets and started to build her a fort we used chairs, counters, tables and blankets.

She wanted Mark to take a picture of her in the fort that we built.

Here is Melissa and Mommy (Deborah) laying in the fort. We look so happy together.

Here is Melissa and Daddy (Mark) now in her fort. Don't they look happy.

We tried to get all of us in the picture but as you can tell I'm cut off a little bit and Melissa is being squished. She was having fun with us when we were playing together. We were also watching the Jazz play on the T.V.

Melissa's Swimming Lesson

Melissa did some swimming lessons at Kearns Pool. She was ready to go swimming but not to learn how to swim, but she did. Her teacher was nice and loved her. Melissa's teacher would hold her up because she was so small in her class. In the 2 pictures she is working on floating on her back. She has passed the first level she almost passed the second level. We have some things that we need to work on. No we can't help her on the growing she has to do that on her own.

Afternoon at the zoo

Deborah's work did a day at the zoo in the afternoon.
We had Grandma (Nancy) Wiker bring Melissa up and
you can tell she is having fun. Mel walked
up the hill and she was having fun.

Here is Mommy and Melissa on the carousel

pointing at Grandma who was taking the picture.

Here is Mel just standing there watching all the other kids
play. She does this a lot by just observing.

You can tell that Grandma was tired and ready to
go home. Mel was having fun playing but
she was also ready to go and tell daddy about her day
at the zoo.

May- Mother's day

We have been really busy now I think that we should get things updated of what we have done so far this month. On mother's day I got a picture frame of some pictures of us, Mark and Mel and just Mel. Thanks to Diane for doing the pictures. Then we went up to Mark's parents house spend some time up there. We then went to my parents house and visit with her.

Easter

We went to Deb's parents house in the morning. We did breakfast there after we ate Mel was so excited that the bunny came to their house so she could look for the Eggs. The Easter bunny put some eggs up high so Grandpa (Rodger) lifted her up so she could get them. She did not want to wear regular clothes so we changed her in the dress. She does look really good in it.

Here is Mel grabbing an egg out of her shoe.


Here she is taking a picture of her eggs that she found. The Easter bunny did a good job it made one little girl happy that day.

With family

Christmas at home

When she was fully awake she saw that Santa came and at her cookies and also drank the milk. She said "Santa ate only one and a half of the cookies." I guess we need to eat all of them next time. We woke up about 6:30am to open presents, so we were still tired when we opened some of our presents.

She loved this present because it was a some things with Snow White.

She loved this as you can tell she was excited for the toy.
