14 months

This girl is getting sweeter and sweeter. It is so fun to watch her learn and do more. She does so many things that make us smile. Here are a few of our favorites.

say bye bye

 

Where's Mommy? Where did she go? 

 

And did I mention that she doesn't walk? or crawl? No, this girl loves to scoot. She gets around by scooting on her bottom and using her left arm to hoist herself. And she's pretty fast. 

Camping with the Rowleys

 

The plan was to camp up Payson canyon. But a big rain storm came in and we were so glad we decided to sleep at Liz and Curtis' instead. We roasted marshmellows in the backyard and slept in cozy beds in their warm basement. It was perfect. 

We managed to get in a lovely hike before the rain came down. Once it started thundering we all ran down the mountain as fast as we could. We were drenched, muddy and laughing. 

Baby on my back

 

The next morning we went to the Rowley's farm for ice cream at the Big Red Barn. 

The 4th

 

Millcreek, Utah is such a fun place to be on the 4th of July. All the Wagners lined the streets, clad in red white and blue, with camp chairs and picnic blankets for the Millcreek parade. 

 

And it did not disappoint.  I think the boys collected more candy than a Singapore Halloween.

Baby Sybil

 

After the parade we headed to the park for midway games and snowcones. We even ran into new friends from Singapore. Its a small world. 

Then back to Grandma and Grandpa's house for an amazing BBQ and off to the club to swim the afternoon away.

 

Silver Lake

On a gorgeous sunny day we took a picnic up to Silver Lake with Grandma and Grandpa Wagner.

Noah read all the informational signs along the way like he always does. Which comes in handy now and then.

Like if a moose ever crosses your path! You'll know just what to do.

Yield the path to the moose, stay a safe distance away, do not put yourself between a moose and its calf.

Wagner Reunion

We really look forward to the Wagner reunion every summer. We spent three days all together in a cabin in Heber.

David's parents, siblings and spouses.  I learn so much from these amazing people every time we see them.

And these kids! They have such a blast together!

 

Except for poor little Sibby. She was on antibiotics and ib profen trying to shake off bronchitis.  She and I missed the first half of the reunion waiting for her not to be contagious, doctors orders. And then she was very very grumpy the rest of the time. With our arms full of sad baby, Dave and I didn't take as many pictures or pinch as many cheeks as we would have liked to. Poor baby.

Here's a picture of all the 6 year olds (with Gage not doing the Gangnam style dance)

Gage, Tessa, Natalie and Ashlyn

Here are the same cousins when they were all 2 years old. Sweet things. 

We love seeing everyone. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Wagner for making it happen. And after this trip I think every Wagner will smile when they hear "Good night, sleep tight..."
