The Melanie and Doug Show: September 2011

Red vs Blue

They look so awesome in there Red Whit and Black!

I guess I'll root for them too

Daddy really gets into the game....

and so does baby... hahaha

We're happy Red won but wish it was more of a fight for the win.

Good Game!

Doug's young men have this funny thing they call planking and owling that they do in parks or basically anywhere they go. We were up the canon and thought it would be funny to do and take lots of pictures to show them... so here ya go.

Doug was on this crazy steep hill side and almost went down the hill.

Can you tell that this is the owling??? How dorky can this get???

that's the best looking owl I've ever seen :O)

pretty funny, huh!

Tait's first big day

They look so sharp in there matching salmon tie and shirt.

Great Grandma & Grandpa Simmonds

I love this picture!

I haven't had a picture with my siblings for a long time

Michelle, Krystal, Krystal & Spencer

Dougs cute family

Grandpa Dave, Crystal, Steve, Grandma Cathie and Lily

Lindsey & Lance

You can't see it in the picture but Lindsey is super preggers with baby Karte/

Hopefully he comes to visit us by Monday!

Yay for Baby Karter!!!

We go to the Beach

My nice loves coming in town because we go to the Beach! AKA Day Brake Lake

She will call for days if she knows they are coming to ask if we can go.

Have you noticed yet that Daddy always has Taiters??? Don't call him a baby hog to his face but he is a baby hog. I absolutely love it! Daddy is gone all day at work so he should be able to hold Tait ALL he wants when he gets home.

Mercedes eating chips and Krystal peeling oranges for Spencer

Alex playing in the water

Christina loves being at the beach!

Mercedes can build an awesome sand castle.

And she has a pretty dang cute smile

Daddies make the best pillows ever.

Alex is pretty tuckered out after a long day in the sun.

She totally looks like she belongs at the park.

Mom and Dad love spending time with the family

I love being outside on a sunny day.

Michelle is the best life guard. We love having her around, definitely the life of any party!!!

He has big shoes to fill

One of our Home Teacher is 19 years old and getting ready to go on a mission. He has taken it apon himself to be Taits "uncle". He calls regularly to check in on Tait and loves stealing him from the ladies in the ward just so he can hold baby Tait. It's actually really cut and funny.

Kwinton really wanted to buy Taiters some shoes that he could wear in a couple months. He came home with these adorable Vans in size 4. It made us laugh so hard and we had to explain to Kwinton that babies grow fast but not that fast in a couple months.

I guess we'll be waiting a while to see him stomping around in these cute shoes :O)

Thanks "Uncle" Kwinton!

1 Month Old

It's amazing how much they grow in just 1 month!

Such a sweet baby and his personality is coming out more and more every day!

How could you resist that adorable big yawn

*Sorry, I tied and tried to get the picture to rotate but it wouldn't.

Walk at Day Break Lake

My favorite place to lolly gag around. We finally got a stroller and now we can walk all the time.

The ducks were swimming around so we had to have a picture.

His first adventure in the wild world

Isn't this purple and gold a beautiful color combo.

funny story... I bought a bunch of flowers and bushes at the beginning of the year and when they started to bloom every one was purple. I guess we need to add more colors next year.
