Max at 9 Months

Max went to the doctor this month for his nine month check up. He is still a skinny little man, but the doctor says he gained a good amount of weight this time. I don't know why he is so skinny; he eats everything that he can get his sticky little hands on! Other that that, he is doing great. He just started crawling, and he is throwing out new sounds everyday. Also he just started doing this cute tongue clicking thing too. He is so sweet and very cute. We love him soooo much! Here are his stats:

Weight: 16lbs 12 oz 5th percentile

Height: 27 3/4 inches 40th percentile

Head: 17 3/4 inches 45 percentile

Mesa Falls

After the parade, we went to Mesa Falls for a picnic. It was so pretty! I love the rainbow that it makes, and of course Alex loved it because he loves to throw things in bodies of water.

There was a little gift shop and museum. They had some animal pelts that you could touch, including this porcupine! Dottie and I touched it very carefully :)

That night we went to Eclipse with Dan and Michelle, and I really liked it. Mark slept through most of it though :) We had such a great trip to Rexburg, and we hope to go again soon!

Ashton Parade

Three years ago we came to Rexburg for the 4th, and Mark's mom rode her horse in the Ashton parade. Of course we went to watch, and it was a sweet parade! Just like the ones I remember growing up in Star Valley. So we were really excited to go to it again this year. Mark's mom was excited too, because she didn't have to ride her horse in the parade this time. Of course they threw candy, but they also gave out ice cream sandwiches, chocolate milk, and bouncy balls!

I really liked this hearse float, I know I am weird.

Go Fly a Kite

We spent the 4th of July weekend and Grandpa Tom and Grandma Dottie's house. We had so much fun I am going to divide it into three different posts. Day 1 Alex rode the 4 wheeler and got to fly Grandpa Tom's kite. It was so cute! Then the kite went under the power lines and almost flew away, but it all worked out in the end.
