Summer Fun and Rachel Updates

So I had a post started about a month ago, but it was so out of date I couldn't use it... I guess I should do better...

Rachel is doing really well, we've fed her some rice cereal. She laughs quite a bit now. You have to work for usually, but sometimes she'll just get a kick out of things. She laughs when she gets startled, it really funny, cuz she'll get a worried look first, then start laughing.

Sleeping at night has become quite the struggle, it can only get better I guess... I think the worst thing about it is that she was sleeping through the night when she was three months, but only for a few weeks... we'll live.

We also had our 3rd anniversary on the 22nd of June. We went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner, which is very yummy. Kevin got me some kitchen things, and I got him a game called Power Grid. Its kind of a combination of Settlers and Ticket to Ride. Anyway, we've played it quite a bit over the last couple of weeks, and I have beat Kevin... lets just say more than he has beat me. It is the one game I've been able to beat Kevin at. It works out though, cuz when I lose I don't like to play anymore, and when Kevin doesn't win, it just makes him want to win more. So anyway, we've had a lot of fun with it.

Even though we haven't gone camping like we planned, we have been able to go boating with my uncle Mike. Kevin is a natural wake boarder! After a few tries he got up. We'll have to take the camera next time... as for me, I can't remember how to get up... maybe next time. We have had fun at reunions this summer too. I always forget to take pictures, but summer has been good so far.

Here are some pictures:

May

We were at the temple for my cousins wedding.

On Memorial Day we drove my Grandma Andersen to Coalville to decorate graves.

June

Kevin just loves this trick.

She sure can get around for not being able to roll over both ways yet.

July

My grandma was in the hospital for a back operation (doing better now), and so I walked down to see her. Rachel wouldn't eat before I left, and so Kevin fed her this bottle...

4th of July! She got a kick out of the fire works, but eventually fell asleep, they started after her bed time.
