My birthday girl

Our curious, energetic, sweet, busy, strong willed little girl is 2. Life has been so amazingly fun with her in our lives. She keeps us on our toes and doesn't stop until she is in her bed, fast asleep. We love her so much and thank Heavenly Father every day for the happiness she brings into our home. It's crazy to think that only two years ago we were sitting in the hospital with a healthy five lb 15 oz beautiful baby. Now she is a whopping 20lbs!

Some of the fun things she is doing now are singing songs like "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star", the Dora song and the Sponge Bob song. Her favorite thing to say right now is "I wuv(love) candy" or anything else, but mostly candy. A funny thing about her is that she can point to Russia, Canada, USA, Australia and Antarctica on her little place mat map of the world. We think she is a genius! She loves Rex so much and sometimes gets a bit too aggressive with him which makes him cry a lot. She loves to watch Disney movies in our bed.

For her birthday she had so much fun with friends and family. She loves her Dora big wheel although she is still a little too small for it. She is such a beautiful girl with so much personality. We so grateful to have her as a daughter.

Happy Birthday Caroline! We love you.

My birthday boy

What a cute guy don't you think? He is such an incredible person with so many amazing qualities. He is an adoring father an absoulutely and also an amazing husband & friend. I am so thankful to have him as my partner and I can't imagine going through life without him. Happy birthday Nathan.

Autumn in the air

Don't you just love the feel in the air right now? I can't help but feel a little giddy as I take in each breath knowing that Autumn will be arriving soon. I love this time of year. I love the crisp air, decorating with my pumpkins and wreaths, eating my soups, anticipation to see the leaves changing and inhaling the sweet scent of my cider spice candle. Nathan and his friend Spencer decided to have a fall kick off at our house and invite all our friends. They made chicken, potatoes, and peach cobbler in the dutch ovens. Nathan, being the fun guy that he is bought a fire pit for our back patio. It was so much fun to have all our friends sitting around the fire, making smores and getting to know each other better. The best part was that I didn't do anything but straighten up our house. He and Spencer put it all together! I love that my husband is so social and up for anything. It seems as though time is flying by so fast here. Rexy is now sitting and playing with his toys , it is crazy to think he will be crawling soon. Caroline will be turning two in a month. She is such a fun, curious girl. I love to see her go a million miles an hour(it makes me tired just watching her). I can't believe my babies are getting so big. I guess with the changing of the seasons it helps me understand that change is inevitable, but so wonderful and beautiful too.

Rigby fun overload!

Our Mimi came to visit us this last week or so and it definitely was so much fun to have her. It was a nice break for me to have her help with the kids and house work. I think I am going to miss her more than anybody. Mimi spoiled the kids (no surprise) and she spoiled us. Nathan and I were able to get away and spend time together. We had a good time golfing and going out . Thanks mom for being so wonderful. We can't wait until you come again.





We loved the zoo! This time we went to the kangaroo area. I had no idea these animals were so lovable. They would hop right up to you and eat from your hand and let you pet them. I wanted to put one in our bag and take him home with us. Caroline and Rex even enjoyed feeding the kangaroos.

Nick and Michelle came down for the weekend so we all went boating at the lake that is near our house. The water was absolutely perfect, it felt like lake Powell. Skiing and tubing was so much fun. We also jumped off a great little cliff that we found last year while boating with friends. It took me about five minutes to get the courage to jump, but I am proud to say that I did it. Michelle and Nathan rode the tube together, it took them forever to get on the tube! So Nick and I decided to show them how it's done. We had great time. Thanks mom.

One night while Mimi was with us we went to the fair. We has such a good time with food and rides. Caroline loved the slide and playing in the sandbox the most. She loved the helicopter, but as soon as she realized we weren't going with her she just about freaked. Rex was stung by his first bee, but he handled it very well. It didn't realize he was stung for a half an hour or so. Poor guy. It was a really fun night and we will definitely go back next year.

Summer Fun

This is our cute little Rexy. Don't you just want to love and squeeze this little guy? And then there is Caroline. She is our little fish. She loves swimming and playing in the water. We love our kids.

Sweet Rexy

Caroline having some fun.

Demolition Date Night

This last weekend Nathan and I went on one of the best dates ever. We went to the demolition derby with a few of our friends. It's times likes these that I remember how much I love my husband and how much fun we can have. Not only did we find pure enjoyment out of cars hitting each other, but watching those red necks was a great sight too. Only here do you see guys smoking on top of banged up cars where gas may be leaking.(Hazard!!!) Nathan had to buy a turkey leg to add to the ambiance. It actually was quite tasty.
We absolutely love our children and find complete joy from raising them(most of the time). Rexy found a new girlfriend, she comes over to our house every Friday and they will just look at each other and smile. It's pretty cute. Caroline loves getting into anything and everything. She makes me laugh about ten times per day. I never knew a child could make you laugh, but make you so upset all at the same time. I do love her so much.

The Monson Mash was a success

This last weekend we had Nick and Michelle here. It was such a blast to be with them. We have missed them so much. Although it was a fast trip it was fun and relaxing. Nathan and Nick went crazy with the fire works having contest to see who could light there firework the fastest. Caroline couldn't get enough of Soba, she would follow that little dog all over the place. Michelle just looks beautiful don't you think? And Rexy was as chill as ever. That kid rarely cries, he is amazing. Thanks for coming Monson Mash. We already want you to come back and visit.

The whole gang.
