Blog-A-Thon

It seems recently that things have slowed down in the blogging world, so I thought I would contribute. I have pulled myself away from my oh so busy life to give the update that I promised "soon" back in July. For those of you that don't know me well, I have a very loose interpretation of the word "soon".

For my fellow blog-stalkers looking for more to waste a couple minutes of your time with (it sadly won't take more than two), I submit three months of my life. You're welcome.

July Spectacular

July was a pretty busy month for us.

We spent the 4th of July weekend with my parents. They came out to visit and we had a picnic at the park.

We played on some swings.

We fed the ducks.

And we played in the fountain.

That night we went and sat by the Provo temple and watched the Stadium of Fire Fireworks. Grandpa bought Daisy some of those glow necklace things and she had a great time swinging them around.

Grandma & Papa Clark got to take Daisy swimming.

We "helped" my brother move his office.

Towards the end of the month, Daisy and I went to Colorado for a family reunion on my Mom's side. Daisy DID NOT STOP. I spent the whole time just following her around. They had some fun kids rides that only cost a quarter, so she went on some of those and had a great time.

While in CO, Daisy discovered a car she is actually allowed to drive.

And the joy of a trampoline.

We rounded out the month Redneck Style and went to a rad Demolition Derby with the Bunker/Sampson clan. Luckily for Daisy, her hair is growing out into a pretty sweet mullett, so she fit in pretty well. She was definitely the cutest mullett headed person there though.

Watching cars crash into each other on purpose is a pretty good time.

Troy's Dad came along.

Daisy's cousins did the chicken dance.

And we got to see this guy.

June Jubilee

June was exactly what a summer month should be. All we were missing was a big wrap around porch and it would have been just like one of those lemonade commercials. Well, almost.

Daisy and I took a Mommy & Me swimming class. That little girl is quite the fish. I have to watch her around water constantly now because she wants to just jump right in.

We ate a lot of ice cream.

Troy finished up his summer class, so most of our spare time was spent playing Rock Band. Even Daisy got in on the action. She wants to be the drummer just like her Mom.

To sum up, June rocked!

The Darling Buds of May

May is a big month for us (by "big" I mean two significant things happen). We celebrated our anniversary and Daisy's FIRST Birthday.

We went to Colorado to celebrate Daisy's birthday. She had lots of fun watching her cousins play and being spoiled by Grandma & Grandpa Clark. I made her a Daisy cake because I fully expect her to come to loathe Daisies the way I force them on her, so this may have been one of the only times I could make it. She dug right in and enjoyed being cheered on by her cousins.

On her actual birthday back in Utah, Troy and I took her to Chuck E. Cheese's. As expected, the food was terrible, but Daisy had a good time despite not feeling well.

I can't believe how much she has changed from the tiny baby she was just last year.

Troy and I celebrated our anniversary by going to our favorite restaurant - The Bombay House - for dinner. Unfortunately, it was Memorial Day so they were closed. So we went to some so-so barbecue place instead and then we went to the worse than so-so Indiana Jones movie. It was nice to get out and spend some much needed time with just my sweet husband though.

Troy bought me these beautiful roses.

I can't believe how fast time goes.
