Summer Fun

The key to keeping sane with a very active two-year-old? Activities. We've been doing our best at coming up with fun things to keep Kaylee busy. Here are some pics from the past few weeks...

Kaylee and mommy love going to the park. She loves kicking...

Playing catch...

We had a Wurtz family reunion a couple of weeks ago. Here we are with Kaylee's great-grandparents (Holly's grandparents).

Water was a must out there in the desert...

Look at that cute little face! And those curls!!!

And those cute little leggies!!!

There was a 'Concert in the Park' the other night...

And Kaylee LOVES going to storytime at the library...

Cute little girl in a pretty dress at church...

Chillin in the car with her shades...

She was hamming around the other day at GGs and she put a paper bowl on her head as a hat and then started sweeping with the broom. Such a silly girl!

And last, but not least, we have a tummy pic! Holly's now 26 weeks. Lookin' good, huh?!?

Tummy Pics

We thought we'd post a tummy pic or two for all to see. She's 23 weeks and doing pretty well (for the most part)! We're getting excited. Can't believe how fast it's coming!

Happy Anniversary!

Today is our 7 year anniversary! How the time does fly right by. Wow. Life is great!

We wanted to do something fun together (especially before the baby comes) so we decided to take a road trip down to San Diego together. Kaylee got to stay with Gramma.

We had so much fun. When we first got there we went to Coronado Island, had lunch and walked around a little bit. Then we headed up to Balboa Park. What a beautiful park! And so huge, too.

The botanical garden there is amazing. Take a look at some of the pics...





The craziest thing...we were walking around the park and who do we happen to run into? Two of Holly's cousins who decided that morning that they were going to go down to San Diego. They just so happened to be at Balboa Park, in the same garden at the exact same time that we were. How crazy, huh?!?

Day two we went to the beautiful San Diego temple. Awesome. Then we went to La Jolla cove and got to see these fat, lazy, stinky seals lounging on the beach. Pretty cool though.

Look at the little dude just chillin...he must be full from the little girl he just ate (see the pink shoe right next to him?). Hahaha ;-)

The cliffs at La Jolla Cove.

This trip was long overdue! We had a blast and can't wait to do it again!

Visit from Grandpops & Meme

A couple of weeks ago we got a visit from Jared's dad and his wife, Mary Ann. We had a blast! Grandpops and Meme loved seeing Kaylee again (it had been a whole year since last time).

Every time they come Kaylee gets a new dress! Look how pretty she looks in this one!

Pops and I had fun building some flower boxes to beautify our house. I think they turned out great!

Here is Grandpops reading Kaylee a story...

I think Kaylee's favorite part of the visit was making cookies for the first time...

Sprinkles and all...


Look how happy she is! She loved it!

And of course, she LOVED eating them too.


We can't wait until next summer's visit!

Baby Thomson #2 Is A...

So we had the ultrasound today! We're glad that it's over - we didn't like this place nearly as much as the place we went to for Kaylee's ultrasound. This place was running real late (Holly had a full bladder too) and they didn't even let Jared go in for the first 30 min. But when we finally got to see the monitor and see the baby moving and healthy etc, we were quite happy!

We both thought that it would be a girl, so we were shocked to hear them say BOY! We're both very excited, even though we're still trying to let it soak in.

Here's the proof!

First Skinned Knee

Poor little Kaylee (finally - not that we were cheering it on, or anything...) got her first skinned knee the other day. I'm sure that it won't be the last, though. She cried pretty good but was OK when we told her she could get a band-aid on it. Silly girl! Here she is pointing it out...

See! Everything's OK, now.

The skinned knee, in all its glory!

Kaylee and the next-door neighbor, Veronica, playing one day.

Kaylee wanted to play dress up the other day. Doesn't she look cute!?!

The princess driving in her car...

Movie Star!

Kaylee got into mommy's makeup the other day too. She did a pretty good job, don't you think? ;-)

She found a little rolly-polly the other day to play with too...

The start of this video is candid. Holly found Kaylee sitting in her chair reading a story to her little bear. Listen to all she says - it's hilarious! Cute little girl she is!

Baby Thomson #2 is on the way!

We have some good news...baby Thomson #2 is in the oven!!! Yea!!!

Due date is Nov 1st and all is well so far. Holly hasn't had too much nausea - just tired (who knows if that's from being pregnant or from chasing Kaylee around all day - or both). We're very excited to grow our family! Even though we've been through it once before, it's still so amazing!

Will baby Thomson #2 be a boy or girl?
