July Fun! A splash of photos

On July 1st we threw a post-birth family baby shower for Taylor's cousin Danielle. She is a beautiful new mommy and her baby Sienna is just darling! The cousins and their babies. Love.

We got some pictures of the baby girls together. I didn't realize how much Mercedes has grown!

This photo was taken later that night when daddy was getting her ready for bed. She looked adorable with her shirt off and I had to steal a picture.

Eeek she's so cute!

Oh to be a sleeping babe. Not a care in the world.

These next photos were taken on a day we spent playtime on mommy and daddy's bed.

Look at that sweet face!

She just loves this bunny. It's so much like me and my old bunny.

She has a thing with trying to eat faces. I don't know where she gets it?

Relaxing.

Face shots!

Then daddy joined in!

It's hard to get a photo where we're both smiling at the same time. :)

Over the 4th of July weekend Taylor's siblings Hannah and Adam came back from BYU Idaho to visit. We spent almost every waking hour at the parents' house swimming, eating and playing. Gramma Tammy gave this swimming suit to Mercedes. So cute!

The pink hat from Auntie Hannah. It's just now starting to fit.

This here is after bath time in the kitchen sink.

Here's something recently discovered. Mercedes LOVES sleeping on Grandpa Galen's chest. And Grandpa Galen falls right to sleep with her! These two are adorable.

Here's some of the family in the kitchen. Tammy, Jonathan, Adam and Beth (Adam's girlfriend). The kitchen is always a great gathering place.Early Monday morning we all got up and drove out to the shooting range an hour away so that Taylor could shoot his new gun. He got Springfield XD 40 handgun. Pretty cool, and pretty hard to shoot. (In my opinion)! Mercedes was a good sport and played in the car with the girls while we took turns shooting. I love this face she's making.Having a daughter is just the best!

Family at the range.

Someone took this photo of the bullets. I had no idea my retarded camera could take anything like this. It's pretty cool.

And last but not least! This was just a picture I took of Taylor yesterday while at his parents house. He had just gotten home from cycling from work. I love this face. I love my man!
