Esme and her Nana and Papa

As our time at my mother and father's draws to a close, Esme and I are finding that our emotions are on both ends of the spectrum.  On the one hand we are super excited to start the next part of our lives but we are also very sad to be leaving.  We have had a wonderful time here and we are more grateful to my parents than they will ever know.

4th of July!

We had a wonderful and busy 4th this year.  We started the day with a trip to the Hyrum chuck wagon breakfast and parade. It was a lot of fun and a little strange to watch my daughter run around and grab candy in the exact same spot that I used to run around and grab candy...we then hit the lake with the Jepsen's, not pictured here, which is a tragedy because it was Esme's first time on a boat and she loved it!  She kept saying, Grandpa...go faster!  Then we had a nice dinner at the golf course where Esme got a lovely little lady bug face paint and she tried out the hula hoop!

It was a very fun day!

Our Little Impressionist Painter

Esme has become quite the artist.  She loves to go outside on these summer days and let nature inspire her. You will notice at the end of the video she has transitioned to a chair because she thinks the ants that walk around out there are going to get her :)

Memorial Day 2012

Same weather as last year but not quite as difficult.  Thank you Stovall's for a great weekend!

Esme is really smart....

Enough said.

Esme at the park

It has been a while since we had an Esme at the Park post so I thought I would show you all how fearless this little girl has become.  We drive by this park at least once a day and without fail when we do Esme says theses exact works.  "Look, Daddy, a park! I want to go....please, please please!"

I put this song because it is her new favorite...I am finally starting to win the radio battle.

Video from the Wedding

Sorry for missing a couple of weeks.  Thought I would share this video from the wedding without any music so that you can hear Esme talk...a little bit.
