I have been really terrible at updating our blog. Even if no one else reads it, I want to record the memories for us. I hate scrapbooking, and I'm terrible at journal keeping, so this is a great alternative for me. One day I want to have a photo book made from our blog. If you are reading our blog, I've just done a lot of catch up posts so keep scrolling! :)

Random Stuff
Here are some random pictures from the last few months. I can't believe how big Graham and Campbell are getting. I know people always say that, but I really can't believe it. Life is flying by. I need to start taking more pictures so I will always remember them like this.
One day Graham was yelling "Help! Help!" and this is how I found him.
He loves to sleep with his toys.
I love that they love each other.
Baths together are so convenient. I'll be sad when they're too old for it.
New helmet from Uncle Ricky.
Playing at the park
Too much stuff, not enough hands.
We've had many great afternoons enjoying the warm weather on a blanket in the front yard.
Zach and I had a night away in Reno. It was fun. Even though it was followed by horrible gall stone attack and surgery for Zach. :(
Campbell is so obsessed with walking around holding our hands. It's been KILLING my back. I saw this and it's the best $5 I've ever spent. Back saved.
I love the street we live on. There are so many kids Graham's age and he loves them all. Here are some of them at the dinosaur museum.
Graham tried to hide chocolate under his shirt.
Look at this beauty.
She's a poser.
Utah State Fair
We love going to the State Fair. And now that Graham is getting older it's getting more and more fun. He loves to look at the animals, climb on the tractors, and this year we let him go on some rides. Every year we end up eating outrageously priced fried foods, trying to roll our stroller through dirt and crowds of people, with 2 kids it can be slightly stressful, and each year we are astounded at the amount of money we spend on nothing, but we love it anyway!
They have the most fun area for kids to learn about farming and selling their goods at the market, and then they get 'money' that they can buy a snack with.
Graham's favorite thing was riding the helicopters.
2012 Olympics
I love the Olympics. Seriously love the Olympics. While they are going on I have the TV on non-stop no matter what events are playing. (And really, I'm not that into watching sports so, go figure). This year Zach and I wanted to throw an opening ceremony party. Then we realized he would be out of town for work. At the last minute I decided to do it without him and called up my family. Luckily I have a nerdy FUN family like me so they were all for it.
My Team USA decor
Our menu was themed 'Team USA' as well with fried chicken, potato salad, corn bread, and watermelon, and apple pie for dessert.
I really made my family get into it by painting our faces! (I know, we are nerdy FUN!)
Robert made me promise this picture wouldn't end up on facebook. Nope! Just the blog Rob. :)
My mom had the idea that we should all make our own family flag. Here is ours. All the things we love: the temple, Jesus Christ, Disney, a tractor (for Graham), electronics (for Zach), decorating (for me), smiling (for Campbell), and being together as a family.
(Notice Campbell wouldn't allow her face to be painted so we painted her foot.)
Jessica and Zach's flag. Fancy!
Grandpa's flag we made for him. (and no, that's not an L. It's a Z! )
Shelton flag, made by Melinda.
Go USA!

Ha ha
My husband is a funny guy. I mean really funny. I laugh out loud at him daily. Life with him is fun. He recently decided to start his own blog. He needed a comedic outlet besides his wife (too many eye rolls and "that one was a 'dad' joke" from me I guess :)
Check it out!

Graham's 3rd Birthday
I can't believe my little baby boy is 3!! I really can't, and look at him! He doesn't look like a baby anymore. He's lost that cute little baby face and looks like a grown up boy now. (tear!)
He had a great birthday weekend. On Sunday we celebrated with the Hintzes and on Monday he woke up, opened presents, we went swimming, and then had another party with the Sheltons.
If any of you have talked to Graham in the last few months, I'm sure he has told you all about his "shaking combine" that he wanted for his birthday. Well, he got it and he couldn't stop smiling. It was so cute!
Birthday candles in pancakes :)
Trying out his new big boy bike in the kitchen.
Playing pin the wheel on the tractor with cousins Milika and Zuki
Combine cake
Graham loves his cousin (2nd cousin) Zuki!! Isn't she gorgeous?
I can't tell you how much I love my little boy! He is so funny, he makes me laugh every day. He is so so smart, and so nice to his baby sister, and so full of energy. He never stops talking and I love that he always has something to say. I saw a poster that made me think of Graham. It said "so many of my smiles start with you." Happy birthday Graham!
