Look who is walking!

Malli gal is walking! (or at least grandma says so). She still needs a little boost to get her going but can take quite a few steps now. What a big girl! We are loving watching you grow and try new things Mallory!

Happy 5th Anniversary Babe.

My, my how five years has flown! I remember our wedding day as such a special day and am so greatful that I am sealed to you forever.

We have been through so many great things together and I love you more each day. I love our little family so much and can't wait to grow old with you! xoXoOOXx :)

What do you do in the summer time?

July has been busy, busy, busy and so much fun! Here are some pictures to show a bit of what we have been up to.
First and foremost, my little brother came home from his mission! He served in Vancouver and we are so proud of his efforts there. We are really enjoying spending more time with him.
These 3 pics are of his homecoming dinner. He had a lot of support from family and friends and 3 of his old missionary buddies made the trip too!



The 24th of July was so much fun now that Mallory is old enough to enjoy the parade and activities.


And of course, we participated in the 24th of July 10K run. Here we are sporting our awards. :)

We have had so much fun watching the rain this monsoon season. We have had some awesome stormes. I loved this pic of the kids sitting in the doorway watching the rain.

Picking Elder Dayton up from the airport. It was so exciting to see him again! We are loving spending time with him and Malli loves her Uncle Taylor!

Well, life has been a bit of a blur lately. I




Taylor seeing his surprise when he got to Snowflake. A new car!!! Pretty sweet.

Well, life is busy but good. We hope everyone is healthy and happy. We are so blessed to have you all in our lives! Love ya!

Mallory's 1 Year Pictures

Below are Mallory's 1 year pictures. I was too cheap to buy the digital CD so these all have the lovely portrait company's wording on them but you can still tell she is such a beautiful babe anyway :) Love you Mals!

Powell

Thanks for taking us to Lake Powell this past weekend Misti and Stratton! It was lots of fun in the sun! :)

Party! Happy B-day Baby Girl!

Well, I am sure Mallory felt like a special little girl this past week with all of the fun and attentions she had for her Birthday. We had a Hawaiian Luau party for her on friday night and had so much fun with family and friends. This little one was so much fun! Love you Malli Bell!
Pics of her big day and party...

Happy Birthday Mallory!

My my how time flies! I remember the day Mallory was born so vividly so it is hard to believe she is 1 year old today! She has been such a good little trooper hanging with us as parents. It seems this year has been a whirlwind for our family and we have drug her everywhere with us. We are so grateful to be her parents and love her more than we could express. We love you Mallory!

Since I decided to throw her party this weekend instead of today, we went up to Show Low to a play day with some of my friends up there. Mallory had fun with the little kids her age. Then we met up with Daddy and Grandma and Grandpa at McDonalds for her first "kiddie cone" and "cheeseburger". Yes, I am a nutritionist. Why do you ask??? :)
It was tons of fun.
p.s. Many more pictures to come after her party!
