Catching up
So much has happened in the last couple of weeks, and unfortunately I've been lousy at picture taking so I can't show you all as well as I'd like.
Scott's family has been in town for Seth's baby blessing. It was awesome to have them. After they left, Crystal thanked Heavenly Father in her prayers that night for "Pops and Grandma Itri."
Here she is with Margie enjoying Seth together in the rocking chair:
We had a great Pioneer day, which we spent with Megan's family. Crystal had her first experience playing with sparklers. Yes, I know, 2 and a half is a long wait to let her experience this, but what can I say, I'm an overprotective mom:
The power went out, so we all hung out outside in the dark and talked a lot.
The next day Lisa's cousin, Oscar got married and we went to the reception at The Riverside Country Club. Lisa's dad performed the ring ceremony, and did a great job.
The food was absolutely delicious, and we enjoyed some good latino dancing. Crystal had a blast, as she enjoyed the dancing the most:
On Sunday we blessed Seth. (I will post pictures of those later). Scott gave him a beautiful blessing, and it was great to see family and friends there. It was a fun week and it was more special because we got to spend it with family.

Morning workout with my little friend...
Crystal likes to workout with mommy in the mornings. Here's a cute clip. (She's not groomed yet since she had recently gotten out of bed in the morning, so excuse the messy hair and lack of proper attire)
Having a toddler in the home is the greatest!

Going to Heaven
Crystal has been learning about the Joseph Smith story for the past while is has been pretty fascinated with it. Along with that she also likes talking about Heavenly Father and Jesus.
Last night when I was tucking her into bed she looked concerned and said "Mommy I don't want to go to heaven with Heavenly Father and Jesus." I asked why and she said "Because then I will be lost!" So I told her not to worry and that we would all be in Heaven together, and that she would be with Mommy, Daddy and Seth too.
She then replied: "We're all going to the forest then?"
I then realized that because we've taught her that Joseph Smith went to the forest when he saw God and Christ, that she connected Heaven with being in the forest. I told her that Heaven wasn't in the forest and that it was a different place, and that we would all be there together one day, which made her happy, and I figured she understood.
As I kissed her goodnight and walked out the room, I heard her saying as I closed the door "We're all going to a different forest, okay Mommy?" lol. I think I'm going to have to show her some more pictures of Heavenly Father and Jesus in other places besides the Sacred Grove.
It's so much fun to watch her learn about the Gospel. I just love my little girl!

Independence Day
What a fabulous fourth of July weekend! This was the first independence day we spent with Scott's family, and it did not dissapoint. We went up to Aunt Jill's house in Layton to hang out and have a barbecue. After we ate, we went up to a nearby park and had a huge family game of softball. Yes, even the wives played, and it was fun.
After that, we took a break back at the house and Crystal played on the slip and slide with Her great aunts Jill and Cathy, and great uncle Michael.
When the slip and slide was taken down and put away, everyone played a whole lot of volleyball.
Then we went to watch the fireworks show:
Then we went back to the house yet again to use some of Todd's "Special" fireworks to blow up some tennis balls, and after that we played games until 3:30 in the morning. It was a super long day, but a lot of fun! Hope you all had a happy fourth!
