My pretty baby, can't believe she's 18! 

Tennis bracelet from Grandma & Poppy, lovely!
My birthday was on Mother's Day this year, and Farah's birthday fell on Father's Day. Farah had a low key birthday due to travel, weddings, and graduation. We celebrated her day with Grandma & Poppy- grilled steak, melon salad, french bread, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob, just what the birthday girl ordered. Happy Birthday to our beautiful, sweet, Farah. We love you!

We just got home from Idaho. Wow, what a fast week! Emily and AJ were married in the Idaho Falls Temple, and Devin and Ashley married in the Bountiful Temple (wish we could have been there too). We had so much fun visiting and catching up with family and good friends. We stayed with my cousins, Arik and Christina Jorgensen, in Pocatello, and enjoyed  their family and adorable children. Grabbed lunch and a movie with our long-time best friends, Jackie and Kory Newsom. We even squeezed in two nephews' birthday parties! Tanner, happy 12th birthday, and Cohen, happy 14th!

Charlotte is 5 months old today! June 3, 2012

"Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, MrDeMille, I'm ready for my close-up"
I'm happy and I know it!
Whoa too much flash, but I still look oh so cute!
I like my Teddy Bear, but I LOVE my Blankey more

At five months old- Charlotte loves being outside! Backyard, front-yard, under a tree, outside is best. She loves her pink blanket, and rubbing it against her cheek is a favorite. She has discovered her amazing feet; and she tastes everything... you never know, it could be delicious! She smiles easily, and laughs all the time. She loves to be sung to. She jabbers a lot, she knows what she's saying! The other day she got really loud, and made everyone laugh. She crosses her ankles all the time- it's so cute, in her car-seat, drinking her bottle, sitting in your lap- she's a little lady.
