Mommy and Baby Night


Not only were Dan and I blessed with a sweet little baby but quite a few of my friends also have little ones around the same age as Libby. All of us mom's got together for an evening of mom talk and eating while the kids had their playdate the living room. It was so much fun and I'm sure if we keep it up they will grow up to be great friends. Devyn brought her daughter Berlyn. Ashlee had cute little Tate, and Hollie has the big sweetie Sawyer!

Flaming Gorge



This last weekend we dropped off Libby with Grandma and Grandpa Traum and took off to Flaming Gorge for a weekend away. We had a blast cliff jumping, tubing, wakeboarding, smores and a rope swing I almost died on! Michael and Brit, Jake and Whit, Kyle and Dem, Joey and his friend Clint and about 15 more people camped with us. The weather was beautiful with just a little rain each afternoon. We will for sure be visiting this place again! We missed Libby so much but what a great way to end a crazy summer.






Busy Busy


Libby is getting so big! We took her to the doctor to check her weight and she is 12 lbs. 12 oz. The doctor said she is doing great and doesn't need another weight check until her next appointment. She is rolling all over the place, reaching and grabbing for everything and just getting so big! We bought a jumparoo for her and she can't get enough of it. She'll be crawling so soon! Dan started school and he loves it! He is so smart and especially loves his history class.

4 month checkup

Today was an exciting day. Libby went to the doctor for her 4 month check up. Her head is 75th percentile, length 45th percentile and weight 2nd percentile. The doctor says I have to start supplementing with formula. I gave her a bottle when we got home and she sucked it down. Apparently I was starving my kid. Otherwise he said she looks great and is a cute baby with a great personality. (She takes after her momma) Also, Dan registered for classes today. He is starting at Weber State this fall for accounting. I'm so excited for him. He has a huge thirst for knowledge and I know he'll do great!

For real this time











Ok, for real this time. I've finally set up my blog so here goes. This year has been full of excitment starting off with Dan getting diagnosed with Type I diabetes. He was feeling thirsty and tired all the time and losing a lot of weight so I took him up to my work and checked his blood sugar. It was 671!! That is really super high so we went to the ER and got a 3 day stay in the hospital. About a month later our Libby was born. 6 lbs 14 oz. 191/2 inches long. She is so much fun and is growing so fast. She is almost 5 months now. In May we planted our first garden. Tomatoes, Zuchinni, Watermelon the works. In June we spent a week in Mexico at Dan's uncle's condo. It was so relaxing and totally worth the 15 hour drive. July was super busy with 9 days in Hawaii and a weekend in Nebraska. Hopefully the second half of the year is as exciting as the first.
