Mountain Maid

View from the top of our hike courtesy of Eric

At the top there were a billion ladybugs flying up the mountain and Bea found a bush full of them to play with and collect. She was repeating over and over, "day-dy bug, dad-dy bug" spewing out slobber as she recited it

At the top: Me and Clementine, Nanna B, Eric and Lucy, Nanni and Papi and Uncle Will below holding Bea and Henry.  Congratulations Will for graduating from BYU Idaho!

Here is Bea feeding crackers to some young boy at the graduation ceremony.  I think most of the people around us were focused on them instead of the speakers.  Sounds a lot like what happens during sacrament meeting

Bea playing in the "do not wade" pools at the Gateway Mall

 Bea not so sure yet about Aunt Meghan or "Uncle Meg" as Colton calls her

Yep, she's drinking the water.  With an infant on my chest at all times, there's little I can do.  

Bea with her friend Ella at the Aquarium.   They are pretty much the exact same age.  So cute together!

Trying to get a shot at my grandma's grave but the sun was in the worst spot and washed us all out.  Bea loved holding Clementine though.  She looks really worried....and a little like Benjamin Button

This one has better light but the kids were out of control.  This is the best one of them and of course I'm not looking!

Close-up of the underbite

Sideways and under bite.  

My sister's boyfriend Eric, who has a super mega professional camera, got some fun shots of Bea including some of her with her sideways under bite.  It's pretty funny and cute right now, but it'll soon not be so cute and may impede her speech, which I think it already may be doing.  Here are some other cute shots of her up in Idaho.

Camping with B

 This is on a good day

Um, Bea is usually a very clean child but lately she's looking very dirty and shabby.  I'm growing her bangs out and with all the ice cream, popsicles, corn, and fruit she gets all over her body and hair, she's looking pretty ragged, but oh so cute. Here she it!

You can see why she's naked much of the time

Baby Nya practicing to be like Bea.  She's so ready for food!

Slowly becoming famous...

My sister is working at a online travel magazine for the summer called Family Travel Forum and she wrote a piece on the swimsuit that she gave us called Snap Me Swimwear.  There's a quote from me and a few photos of her.  Leave a comment if you feel like it.   Here's the article link..

Also I forgot to mention that we were on the cover of the BYU Alumni Magazine in May.   Along with the sock modeling I'd say she's making her mark on the world! Personally, I can't get enough of her silly personality and her sideways under bite:)
