July 2007

Jayna turned 10 months old and finally started crawling! She also got another tooth (her 5th one), on the bottom and started feeding herself finger foods. I feel like she has really become grown up and independent now that she can get around on her own and feed herself. It's kind of nice, but it also makes me kind of sad that she doesn't need as much anymore. Next thing we know she's going to be moving out for College!

Gibb had a break from clinic at the end of this month and we took a road trip up to London for a a few days and then had some days off here at home. It was nice being able to be home and relax for a while. We took Jayna swimming a couple times which she is finally starting to get used to.

We had a big combined church meeting at the beginning of this month with 5 other wards in our stake. They changed the boundaries of all the wards and created a new ward. We are now going to be in the new Euclid Ward in the Kirtland Ohio Stake, and we will meet at the Kirtland Stake Center. Although it's a farther drive for us out there I think it's really neat that we get to go to Kirtland for church on Sunday and help start the new ward!

Jayna is so silly every time she's in her high chair. This is her newest trick, tilting her head from side to side, which she thinks is the funniest thing in the world.

We love giving Jayna her bottle because it's the only time she'll snuggle with us.

Jayna's first pigtails!! Not quite long enough yet, but I had to give it a try. I'm dying for her to be able to wear them.

Jayna loves waving

Another one of Jayna's amazing high chair tricks, putting her hands over head. I don't know where she gets these from. We've tried to teach her way better tricks but she won't even try them, she thinks the ones she comes up with are way better!

Having fun at Samantha's soccer game in London

GO #6!!

5 years

Today was our 5th anniversary! I really can't believe it's been 5 years already. It's gone by so fast and I just feel like we barely got married. But at the same time I feel like I've been with Gibb forever. So far we have been in a different city for every anniversary. 1st in Edmonton, Alberta, 2nd at Cedar Point (Sandusky, Ohio), 3rd in Orlando, Florida, 4th in Niagara Falls, and now 5th in London, Ontario. I LOVE this tradition, because I love to travel, but we'll see how long it lasts. We went to Samantha's soccer game tonight, and then Jayna went home with the Hills, while Gibb and I went out to a movie. It was fun to be able to go out just the two of us. I love you Gibb!

4th of July

I guess we sort of had to celebrate July 4th this year since Jayna is an American. But we still didn't really do that much. I worked during the day, I usually work most of the smaller holidays. And then we went to a barbecue with Julie and Jason and some of their friends from their ward. We didn't bring our camera to the barbecue, so I took some pictures of Jayna in her red, white & blue outfit later. We opted out of fireworks because it was way too late for Jayna, maybe next year...
