Weekend Fun

Brian's little brother Eric left Wednesday for the MTC. He is going on his mission to Chili Santiago North. We are really excited for him. Because he spoke in Church on Sunday, Brian's older brother and his family came down from Seattle. It was really fun to see them. Annika loves playing with Abe and Henry. Abe always make Annika laugh. It was such a fun weekend, and we are glad we got to spend time with all of our wonderful family. Annika also got to play in the irrigation water. She loved it. I just thought I would post a couple of pictures, and say Good Luck to Eric!

9 Months

Annika is 9 months old. Where does time go? I can't believe that she is already 9 months old. That means that we have had her as long as I was pregnant. It is just crazy. But she is such a fun little girl. We went to the Dr. yesterday for her 9 month check up, and I just thought I would give a little update on her. She weighs 20 lbs. which is the 72% and she is 28" tall which is the 67%. The Dr. said she is just a healthy little girl. (That is definitely eating well!) She just got her first tooth on her bottom right. She is into everything and she is getting ready to walk. She is such a brave girl and reaches for different pieces of furniture to walk back and forth between them. She pulls herself up to anything that she can, and climbs over everything. She also loves reading her books. She is such a blessing to us.

Lagoon

Last weekend we went to Lagoon. My dad's work has a day for their employees to go so, we went down. It was a lot of fun. It was nice to have my family there, because they watched Annika and Brian and I just had fun and rode as many rides as we could. Brian is a little bit more adventurous when it comes to rides than I am. I went along on most of them, and we had a great time.

Annika got to do a fish pond with Grandpa Jarrett. She got a little whistle. Thank goodness she doesn't know how to use it yet. (from the look on her face, I don't think she knows how to use the fishing pole yet either!)
Jen, Alli, Austin, Brian, My aunt Jenise, my mom, and my cousin Kaylee rode the scrambler. Doesn't it look like they are having fun?

Annika also got to ride the Carousal. I think she liked it. The whole time it was going she didn't really do a whole lot, but she smiled when it was over.

We all went on the Animal Train. Annika loves animals so she liked looking at all of them. I think that we wore her out, but we had a bunch of fun.

Annika loves standing up by the dishwasher when I am loading and unloading it, but Sunday morning Brian was unloading it, and I guess she decided she wanted to crawl in it.

This is just a cute picture of Annika chillin, in her rocking chair, reading her books.
