About a year ago Granky gave me a diary of my grandmother's. It was written about 1943, before she met my grandpa and just as she was going to college. I picked it up again the other day and rifled through some of the page. Some of them had me rolling! She was definitely sassy and dramatic (and maybe a bit of a potty mouth? haha). I love her! Also, it's a bit hard to read. Half the time I have no idea what's she's talking about because she'll often stop writing literally mid-sentence. Either that or she was writing in some order/code that I haven't figured out yet hehe.

But then she had nice things to say too -- "went home again gee it was swell My folks are so wonderful to me..."
Little stinker-butt didn't want to take a picture, but he sure looks cute in his polo and new flip flops!
Ever since the amazing time he had at the Provo Rec Center he LOVES the brown slide at the Holladay Rec (although each week he's a tad bit disappointed that we're not going to Provo).
First time sitting in the shopping cart together! They were pretty good. N only tried to push B a few times. B is always a good sport though!
Playing at Harmony park after softball.
It's sure fun having Gm and Gp Bailey come to the games!
The Harrison twins in our ward had a birthday part with a wet bounce house. Nolan loved it!! Can you see him peeking out of the curtain in the first pic?
He also loved running around the trampoline

The birthday kids and their family. Scott is our home teacher and his young son, Preston, often comes with him. Great home teachers!
Squirt guns!
Mariner's boys
Being silly with daddy. This hair tie kept them occupied for a good ten minutes!
One of our favorite family outings is to Barnes and Noble
Nolan mostly likes the trains
Nolan thought it'd be fun to watch TV in the hiking carrier, in the buff (j/k he has a diaper on I promise).
Dinner at Red Robin
Some fun shopping
We found a super unique/awesome splash pad at the Sandy Ampitheater park!
Nolan was in heaven!
Silly kid fell asleep holding his bottle up
These boys have an amazing dad ♥
We got a Rody!
July 26th is Jeanni's birthday and Nolan really wanted to make cupcakes for her. We had some amazing friends from the ward come over to help us eat them and surprise her!
The Harrison's, the Delis's, Shanna Peterson, and the Nielson's
Paula holding Branson
We also took Jeanni for a treat at the 7-11. Nolan started in on her donut ☺
Well, the moment has arrived. Justin has been waiting for a long time. Nolan is in to things that Justin is in to. And you know what that means? Fun toys!!
Nolan has fallen in love with Star Wars and we're pretty excited about it ☺
Always holding his Darth Vader pez dispenser. We got that for him for his second birthday, before he even knew what it was, and now he loves it!
Cuties
My cousin Sheena and her 3 kids came in town and we decided to go on a hike one Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the hike we wanted to do (Cecret Lake) didn't work out so we just went on another one closer to Alta Ski Resort.
And...we saw a moose!
Nolan's favorite part was the rocks, of course ☺
He has a new love for climbing!
Sheena and Cheyenne and Autumn
Look what he found on the way to the car!
We love going to the Old Spaghetti Factory and then to the bookstore. I love this picture!
More splash pads! We weren't even prepared for this one and just planned to play on the toys, but Nolan wanted to get wet!
Nolan's creativity is really blooming, He brought this to me and said he wanted to make a treasure map. So he helped me make one with a map and treasure and a monster, etc. Good thing he doesn't care how badly I draw quite yet!
Look at the difference a few months makes!
Looking SO handsome after church.
This kid knows how to pick the right table in nursery. Surrounded by girls! He even told Alice (the dark haired cutie on his right) that he liked her necklace ♥
I walked into his room to find him reading on his bed and my heart exploded ♥ What a wonderful sight!
