Kristy and the kids waiting to see the fireworks at the park for the 24th of July!

Ethan and Dave at the park, celebrating the 24th of July!



Well I thought that I would update everyone on what we have been doing lately. Last weekend we went to our friends old stake 24th of July celebration at a park. We used to go with all of our friends, but this year they all moved out of state, so we went anyway with some of our friends from our old ward. We had a really fun time, Ethan loved all the games, but hated the bouncy house, he screamed to get him out. The fireworks were great! Despite the heat, we had a great time. Dave has been busy with school, he seems to like it alot. He has made lots of friends in his class. He just got his dental license today, so he can start working on patients. Too bad he can't really start doing work, and making money. He can only see ortho patients at the school. He is still trying to get used to the assistants at school calling him Dr. Holbrook. We are excited for next week, we are going to go to Disneyland for the second time this summer. We went in May with Dave's parents and now we get to go with my family. We are lucky. Ethan is so excited to go again, so he can go on Pirates of the Carribean and Buzz lightyear. Every day he has to talk about all the rides, and what ones he can go on and if his cousin Gavin can go on them too. Last week my mom was here for a few days, and we spent them all shopping. It was so fun to have her here. I sure miss all of our families and wish that we could live closer. We are still really enjoying our new house, and all the space that we have. Hannah turned 6 months this week, I can't believe that she is that old, it seems like I just had her. I hate that kids grow up too fast. She started eating solids about 3 weeks ago, she took to it like she has been doing it forever, she loved it. In fact, she eats like a pig, she can't get enough. She is in the 70th percentile for everything. I hope she starts to thin out pretty soon. Ethan is enjoying his new primary class, he has made some friends and even found a girlfriend. He is excited for this coming Sunday, because I get to teach his class, while his teacher is out of town. It will be interesting to see how he acts in primary. Well we miss all of our family and friends, and would love company anytime, so anyone is welcome to come visit.

Crazy Little Ethan

Sometimes I think that I want to be a baby again, just like Hannah!

Here I am at the 24th of July Celebration in the Park, and I am afraid of jumping in a bounce house, I was screaming and yelling to get out!

Here I am riding four wheelers with my dad!

My 4th Birthday!
It was a really fun pirate party with all my friends!

I just love driving my cousin Gavin around in Grandma and Grandpa Cooper's cool hummer!

Doing what I do best- watching cartoons!

I just loved the beach, especially collecting the hermit crabs!

I love Robots, especially when they are made out of Legos!

Ethan is our crazy little guy. He is always going, going, going. He loves transformers right now, and just can't get enough of them. Every time we go to the store, he thinks he needs a new one, and when I tell him no, he cries because he says he doesn't have any cool ones, all of his are dumb ones, but yet he picked them all out. He just told us that he found a new girlfriend in our new ward, her name is Tallie. He thinks she is really pretty. He really likes little girls, we can't figure out where he learned to like girls at such a young age. He loves his new backyard, and enjoys swimming in his pool. Despite his wild and crazy ways, he is a big help when it comes to helping me with his sister.

Princess Hannah

Do I have to have these curlers in my hair?

I am definitely my mommy's princess!

Am I styling or what?

I am too pooped to play anymore

I smile at everything, and I am always happy!

Aren't I precious, chubby cheeks and all!

Here I am chilling in my new high chair

I am having my first solid foods, and I love it, infact eating is my favorite thing to do

Playing with my feet again

I love playing with my feet, especially when I can chew on them!



Hannah is our precious little girl, that we waited so long for. We love her so much, she brings so much joy to our lives (except for maybe her brother's). She is always so happy and smiles at everyone. She is now rolling all over our house, and loves playing with toys. She is a little pig, she just can't get enough food. She eats a whole container of fruit and a whole container of vegetables at each feeding, and then is hungry again in an hour. She is sure different than her brother, who still has trouble eating. She talks alot and says da, da, da, da all day long, so Dave likes that because he thinks she is talking to him. But she is still a mama's girl! She is now 6 months, and weighs 16 1/2 pounds, and is 26 inches long.

Our Slideshow

Our Family

What's up with us lately? Well, for those of you that don't know, we moved into a house the first of June. We love it!! It is so much better than our apartment. We don't know what to do with all the room. But I am sure that won't last for long! We went to Salt Lake City to visit family for 21/2 weeks, and we had a great time enjoying the cool weather. We were sad to have to come home and get back into the old routine. Dave just started his 2 year ortho residency at UNLV on Monday, July 2nd. It has been orientation this whole week for him. He finally got his new laptop(aka-his new best friend). This past week we celebrated the 4th of July, by going to the Summerlin Patriotic Parade. Ethan loved it because Darth Vader and all the stormtroopers were there, as well as superman, and spiderman, oh and don't forget his very favorites, the disney princesses! That night we parked in a field by our house and watched the fireworks around the valley, it was a fun day, even though it was our first 4th of July without any friends or family with us. We are trying to survive the heat here in vegas. Yesterday it got up to 116 degrees. TOO HOT!!!!!! We are lonely without all of our dental friends, we hated to see them go! Ethan misses his little friends also.
