Nixon and I explore all the pools!

Well, we made it out to our pool the other day and it was so fun! Molly, Cathryn&Dennis, Missy, Elise, Addie, Me, and Nixon all packed up a cooler and went to the pool! Nixon was a little hesitant at first and then loved it!!! He especially loved Elise's plastic float tube, thanks Miss! He got to play in the kiddie pool that had a fun fountain to splash in and saw lots of the neighborhood kids! He wore his new board shorts Aunt Molly got him in Europe too, so cute! Thank you for coming everybody and having such a fun summer day, we'll do it again soon!!!

Molly Comes Home From Sweden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah! After two years traveling all over the world with her husband, my sister comes home! Molly, it's so nice to have you back home! Nixon sure loves his Aunt Molly! Here he is hanging with Maweee (as he calls her) and his sweet little friend, Jasmine(Veronica's new little baby)!

HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY NIXON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! Nixon is one year old today, I can't believe it!!! As I'm writing this I am filled with so much emotion! My beautiful baby boy is growing up! It seriously seems like I just brought him home from the hospital so sweet and little and it was the only time he would fall asleep in my arms. Although on the other hand it has been such a big year, full of so many firsts for Nixon! He was born in Arizona and then Morgan finished dental school. So Nixon, age two months, and I flew home(Morgan drove). I remember that plane ride was such a big deal. I was worried to fly on my own with Nixon because he was so young, but it worked out just fine as everything else did! Then when he was five months we moved again to our new home and finally got to settle down, that was so nice!!! We have had so much fun being back home and love all of our family and new ward and neighborhood friends so much!!! We are so lucky to raise Nixon in such a wonderful area and can't wait for the many more firsts that are still ahead for him!

It has been really neat to get to know Nixon and see his personality really come alive this past year! He is such a fun baby and quite a social little guy for his young age! He seems to really care for people and is always smiling and waving to people wherever we go!!! He loved seeing an old man in the grocery store the other day and just kept pointing and smiling until the man looked over and smiled back! Nixon was so happy to see the man smile that he bobbed his little feet and giggled in the grocery cart! Another fun thing is no matter where we are if there's music, he's dancing and babbling like he's singing! It's so cute and he especially likes to dance to hymns at church and he'll sway back and forth with really big movements during sacrament, it's so funny to watch his styl'n moves! Also he was never a cuddly baby, but the past couple months he has started to really cuddle and give hugs, which has been my very favorite thing!!! Well I could write forever about all the adorable things he does, but better say goodbye-

Your Dad and I love you so much Nixon and it's so fun seeing the world through your big beautiful ever curious eyes!!! Love Always, your mom

Back To California!!!! (Nixon's early B-day Party)

Having fun at Grandma Gi Gi's house after Nixon's Daddy buzzed his hair!

Aunt Molly and Dre holding Nixon at dinner, so cute!

Good Morning and early B-day presents for Nixon, thanks Mom, so fun and Nixon loved all his presents!!!


Well, we went back to California (Nixon's 3rd trip)to visit my Mom! It was so nice! Morgan and I had a really fun lunch(just the two of us) at my most favorite places in Laguna Beach, C'est La Vie (thanks mom)- if you haven't been there you have to go! It's a little french restaurant on the beach, we sat out on the patio overlooking the ocean, it was beautiful and the food was so good as always, my favorite item is the crepes with mango puree, the best! We also got to see my Nana and Papa(Nixon's great grandparents) and we're so glad Papa's doing better. We took Nixon to Newport beach. He walked on the beach and felt the ocean water for the first time and loved seeing Bear(My Mom's white lab)run on the sand. He sure loved playing with Bear every morning too and really missed him when we got back home. We also had an early birthday party for Nixon, it was so much fun and Nixon got some really awesome new toys! We sure didn't want to leave, Morgan got to surf everyday and again is having withdrawals. Thank you Mom, we had such a wonderful time and can't wait to see you next month!!!

Nixon says Car!!!!

We took Nixon on a walk and to see his Daddy drive his new remote! At first Nixon was a little scared, but then he just loved it and he NEVER took his eyes off it!!! Later I took him in the garage and he saw the car and said, "Cahh, Cahh" he's still working on the "r" sound, but it was soooooooo cute and he kept saying it and pointing and he said, "Vmmmmmmm, Vmmmmmmm" !!!! We were so excited and it was so fun!!! Now everytime we go in the garage he looks for it and points and says, "Vmmmm" and" Cahh"

Nixon goes to Daddy's Basketball Tournament!

Well, #33 otherwise known as daddy is still playing basketball like his glory days at BYU/UVSC! Except he says it's a lot more fun these days!!!! Nixon and I went to as many games as we could, but the real fan was (you guessed it) Steve, Morgan's dad!!! He is such a good support to Morgan and it was fun for Nixon to run into Grandpa every week! Nixon loves the action of the game, but he wishes he was out there dunking like his daddy!!! It was also his mission in life each game to try to crawl on all the bleachers, to my dismay!

We sure miss you two!

Molly and Dre it was so fun seeing you both and we really wish you were here in the states! We know you are both having so much fun traveling the world though! Nixon wanted to thank you both for the fun gifts, Aunt Molly sure spoils baby Nixon! We love you and wish you the very best, Dre, good luck with all your training, we know your hard work and dedication will pay off! We love you and can't wait for you to come back home!!!
