Good Summer Times!

At 3 months old Brittany loves to eat, sleep, and smile. She's getting taller everyday and weighs 14 pounds. She sleeps through the night from 9 to 7 and has several naps in the day. She enjoys her bath time, likes to be sung to, and enjoys making baby noises, sometimes loudly. She loves her Dada, especially when Dada holds her in the air to be “Super Baby”! She keeps her legs straight out, silly girl. I call her Miss Brittany and baby doll, in honor of Uncle Steve who used to always call me that. She is our Angel Baby. We love her very much.

On July 4th we attended the Duportail ward family pancake breakfast at Beverly Heights park. It was a morning of fun in the shade as the kids played on the playground and we visited with family and friends. The Horne girls fought over who got to hold the baby and Austin had fun playing with his friend, Quinton Christensen. Later, we all went to Jared and Kristine Templeton's house for dinner and fireworks and had fun with Sam and Becky Hewson and their new little baby. We had hamburgers, played lawn darts, played with sparklers and popits, and watched the fireworks, most of which were shot off by the neighbors. Austin was so scared he hid under one of the lawn chairs and didn't budge. Eventually we got him to hold a sparkler. The next day he said he had lots of fun with Paige, the Templeton's daughter but he was scared of the fireworks.

Yesterday the Winsors stopped by to see us in Richland, WA on their way back down to Georgia after visiting with Mark's mother. Aunt Judy and Caylee came too. It was so fun to see some of my family from back home all the way out here. We took them to Sterling's on the Columbia River as Judy said she wanted a culinary expereince that she could not have anywhere else. We enjoyed the food and shared stories, and then went next door to Howard Amon park to look at the river while we took pictures. It was a beautiful day and I was happy to have even just a couple of hours to spend with them.
