We Have Hair!!

So, when Josh was doing homework last night Aspyn and I (okay, it was mainly me) decided to experiment with her hair and it didn't turn out too bad.

Here is the back view (it was actually really hard to get her to turn for me). It actually is really cute and make her look so much older!

Here is the side view and here you can see where she doesn't have much hair. That would be on the sides and the front. But it still works so I think that we will keep doing it.

Top of Utah Marathon!!

Holy Cow!! Josh ran a Marathon!! It's amazing and I am still very impressed! He ran the Top of Utah Marathon on Saturday Morning. His time: 4 hours and 10 minutes!! We waited for him at mile 25 and half and at the finish line, just because of transportation issues we weren't able to go and see him any other time during the race. So here are the pictures we got of him.

This was at the end of the race, you can't even tell that he's tired!!

Random Things!!

Here is just a couple of random things from the last couple of weeks. The first is some babysitting that I did for a couple in our ward that just had a baby, they have twin girls that are just a little bit older then Aspyn and she loved playing with them. And yes they are twins even though they don't look like it.

Here they are all reading books. Excuse the mess in the background, it's hard to keep things clean with three toddlers running around.

They found a great place to play underneath the piano. They thought it was great!

Here is Aspyn "helping" Daddy with his homework. She doesn't like to be left out of anything and has to be up at the table if you are. So we just gave her some crayons and coloring books and she was happy sitting with Daddy.

Miss Independent

Aspyn is getting so big. She has such a personality and loves to show her independence. She won't let us feed her anymore, she has to feed herself no matter what it is. Here she is eating dinner the other night. She got really messy as you can see.

She also knows how to get into everything!! There isn't very many places anymore that we can put things anymore that she can't get too. Yesterday we went to the bank and they gave her some smarties. I had been giving her one at a time and she was loving them. I put them on top of my laptop and left the room to start some laundry and since she was watching one of her Baby Einstein movies she didn't follow me. I came back and found this.

She climbed up on to her toy basket and got to the smarties. She was standing there watching her movie and eating her smarties.

Camping!!

We went camping last weekend and had lots of fun. Here are some of the pictures that we remembered to take while we were having fun.Here is Daddy carving us some roasting sticks after we realized we forgot our grill.

Here is Mommy and Aspyn roasting the hot dogs over the fire.

If you look really closely you can see how dirty her face is. She would fall down and then take the dirt from her hands and rub it on her face. I think she really liked that.

Can you see how puffed up her cheeks are? (Stayed tuned to the next picture to see what was in her mouth).

That's right, a big marshmallow. I gave one to her while we were roasting them and she decided the shoving the whole thing in her mouth was the easy way to eat them.

The next morning. She looks really happy for how much sleep she got. She woke up at 1:00 and wanted to play. She loved the tent and the fact that Mommy and Daddy were sleeping next to her.

Right next to our campsite was this bridge over the Logan River. Since Aspyn loves water so much (see previous post) this was her favorite thing to do.

Daddy thought it would be fun to take her shoes and socks off and put her feet in the water.

It was just a little too cold for Aspyn.

Since she was teething she wasn't all that happy so while Daddy cleaned up camp Aspyn pretended to drive home. Here she is shifting...

and here she is steering.

Swimming!!

I just wanted to post some pictures of Aspyn at the swimming pool. She has so much fun there and just this last week she decided to be really brave and go under the mushroom all by herself. She kept going in and out of it, she was having so much fun. She just loves to swim!

How cool do these make me look?

Aspyn has a pair of sunglasses that she loves to wear and she actually leaves them on. She will wear them around the house, swimming, and in the stores. The best part about it is that the whole time that she wears them she won't smile at all, she has this "cool" face that she does when she is wearing them. It is so funny. Anyway, I took a couple of pictures with her wearing them around the house and they are too cute not to post.

Aspyn and Water

Aspyn loves water and so whenever she has a chance to play in some she is there in a flash. Here are a couple of pictures that I have taken of her playing with water.

The Sprinklers

Whenever our landlord comes over and turns on the sprinklers, I take Aspyn out to let her "run" in them. She won't get on the grass and really run through them but she enjoys running on the sidewalk behind them.

Irrigation Water

What little kid doesn't like to play in the gutter water. In Logan all summer long the water runs down the gutter for the farmers to use for irrigation. Aspyn knows exactly where it is and as soon as she gets outside she will head right over to that spot to play in it. She has lots of fun.

24th of July!!

So I am way late in posting this, I have been a slacker blogger lately. But better late then never. Josh got the 24th and 25th off at the last minute and so we decided to do something fun!! We went to the zoo on Thursday and a Bees game on Friday. Here are some pictures of our fun couple of days.

"Look Mommy, a Monkey!!"

Aspyn loves water of any kind.

When we got her out of the stroller to go in the buildings she loved to run from one window to the next.

Getting a drink from a Lion.

"Look at me, I'm on top of a Rhino."

On the Train with Daddy.

On the train with Mommy.

I think we wore her right out. This was about 5 minutes after we left the zoo.

Riding Trax up to the game.

This was probably the only smile we got out of her all night. She did not want to sit on the blanket, she had to go exploring. We spent most of the night taking turns walking around with her. The only time she sat still was for the fireworks.

Just like Mommy!!

Yesterday, after I got off the phone with my parents, Josh called me into our bedroom where him and Aspyn were playing and this is what I found...

Aspyn had found a couple of my shirts and Josh helped her put the blue one on and she put the white one on by herself. She spent most of the night dressed like this and didn't even seem to mind when they would get in her way. She is one funny girl.

We love the 4th!!

We had such a fun 4th of July weekend, which for us went from July 2nd to July 5th. We did so much and had a lot of fun so there are lots of pictures.

Wednesday Josh unexpectedly got this day off so we were able to leave earlier than we had planned so we decided to do something that we have been wanting to do ever since we moved up here to Logan, go to Hill Air Force Museum. It was really cool and we are so glad we finally had time to go.

Aspyn in an ejection seat. She had more fun playing with all the buttons and levers then smiling for the picture.

Aspyn in the cockpit of a fighter jet.

She thought it was a lot of fun.

Thursday We went to see the Hot Air Balloons, but we got there a little late and so they were already up in the air. But Aspyn still loved looking at them (balloons are one of her favorite things). Then we went to Discovery Park for the annual Wilde Family Water Fight. Aspyn and I stayed on the swings for the most part and then she had fun with some water guns and played on the playground.
Aspyn in the swing. She loves to swing and gets really mad when I take her out.

Playing with the water guns.

Trying to suck water out of the guns.

Aspyn playing with the chimes.
Friday This was a big day for us. Josh and I ran the 5K but we don't have any pictures because they are on his Aunt's camera so we will get those later. Then we went home and got Aspyn and went to the parade. She loved the parade, especially the marching bands. She would stand up and dance and clap, then she would try to follow them. She was pretty cute. Then there was a bar-be-que and that night we did fireworks. I thought that the loud noises would scare Aspyn (because other noises scare her) but she loved every single minute of it. She would get so excited when they would light some and clap when they finished and then she would cry until the would get some more lite. I wish I would have gotten it on camera.

Rollerblading to the parade. The best way to get there because then you don't have to deal with traffic after it's over.

Aspyn at the parade wearing mommy's medal from the race. And showing people her belly button (her favorite thing to do).

Watching the parade go by.

This picture was too cute not to post. She just looked so cute with her hat and sunglasses.

Watching one of the marching bands go by. I can't believe how much she loved them.
Saturday We had a bar-be-que with my family, went swimming, and played the Wii. But unfortunately we complete forgot to take any pictures of all our fun this day. That was our fun 4th of July!!

Here is Aspyn in her swimming outfit. I have been meaning to post this for a couple of days and so I thought I would just do it now. She loves to go swimming and being in the water.
