The beginning of Summer Fun!!...

We went on a adventurous family hike while we were in Utah. Jake and I had attempted this hike to the Farmington Falls and didn't quite make it since I happened to  encounter a coiled up Rattle snake!! Oh did I panic!! I ended up on Jake's back all the way down the hill! I was also wearing flip flops which is not a good idea for hiking lol. We made it to the water fall this time with Roxy in a hiking back pack and Alba just ahead of us. It was fun, much more enjoyable this time around :)

I Love this picture of Dad and Roxanne. We just got back from watching Tim and Isaac dominate in their soccer game. Timmy scored 3 goals and Isaac scored 1!

I took all of these pictures on my new IPHONE!! yup!! I am super cool now! Brock and Maddie decided to join us on our family plan and since Alba ate my new phone on Christmas Eve I finally got a hip new phone. Thanks to Alba chewing up my not as cool phone I was able to get the coolest phone ever! lol

Roxy's 1st Trip to the ZOO!
Brit and I decided to make a trip to the zoo on Monday while Jake and his brothers went golfing. It was super fun!

The first animal we got to was the giraffe

I would have to say the Tigers were my favorite


Roxy liked looking at this Rhino water fountain

The Elephants!! Roxy was most intrigued with the pool of water. She kept saying...'Wawa!'

Too cute. I just loved the baby elephant

 
Watching the Elephants 

Lunch time! We made PB&J heart shaped sandwiches for the girls

This was so cool! I have never seen a peacock display it's feathers before

The classic tiger water fountain! I remember this fountain when I came to the Hogle zoo as a little girl. Aww...Sweet Memories


The awesome looking monkey...reminded me of a skunk. Roxy seemed most fascinated with the Monkeys.

I got this cute Damask Elephant at the zoo for Roxy. It matches her crib theme colors which is black, white and red. I am obsessed with Damask print! Alivia got a cute tiger necklace.

 GRANDMA JOY'S 50TH SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY
This rocking chair was a must have for Joy. She had mentioned one day that as a mom she never owned a rocking chair so I thought it would be the perfect gift! Now she can rock her sweet little grand kids in it! The Rose siblings helped pitch in for it. Happy Birthday Grandma Joy! Her birthday really isn't till June 6th but since Jake and I will be back in Idaho we did an early one with the Salmon's and Stock's.


Love this!


Roxy's big party!

 We had a great time celebrating Roxy's 1st Birthday in Utah with family and friends. We can't believe our little princess is 1!!
Roxy's little Birthday outfit I got on Sugiebaby.com I just couldn't pass it up.


Daddy on grilling duty...boy was it smokey!! We ate hamburgers and hotdogs...not to mention all the yummy sweets for dessert!!

Awe...The two Lovely Grandma's. Roxy's 1st year scrapbook was a big hit. My mom even counted how many times her picture was in the book and then we had to guess...it was more than I thought!! Silly mom :)


OPENING ROXY'S GIFTS!!

Roxy loves this dog she got from her Great Aunt Bridgette...Of course like every other dog she see's, she calls it ALBA

I love this picture of our little birthday girl! Thanks to Uncle Nick's awesome Photo skills

Grandma and Grandpa Rose got this cute little bike for Roxy. Her feet don't quite touch the peddles yet but soon enough she will be riding her bike all over the place!



This phone toy is a classic

Grandma Joy got a bounce house for all the kids to play in. Roxy was scared at first to be in it but she warmed up to it quickly!

Alivia Loves this toy!

Jake and I attempted to make cake pops....one word....Nightmare. lol  no it was just more time consuming  than I thought it would be. Although they don't look the greatest, they were delicious!
We had lots of help with cupcakes...Thanks Everyone! :)
BIRTHDAY CAKE! Lola bought this cake and of course had to have a big "Lovely" on it.

I am sure every birthday after this one, Roxy will be able to blow out her own cake.





Yum.....

Dad and I got into a little cake fight...Mom won of course :)
