Well.... I told you not to expect me to write often. I knew I couldn't keep up. Never the less. Here I am.
Jaiden turned 1. My baby!! He is growing up!! He is currently breaking ground... Aka getting his top two teeth. And they are sure painful!! His Dr told me that it'd be rough on him-- two sleepless nights and counting, on top of this he has allergies right now. Poor guy. And yet he still manages to be playful and smiley and happy all day, he definitely gets that from his dad.

My baby sissy is going to VANCOUVER WASHINGTON on her mission! She leaves in about a month and a half. What will we possibly do with out her?!?

My house is so plain Jane. I hate it. I want someone to decorate it- not tell me how.. just do it for me. I come up with great ideas and draw them out, write them down, but never follow through. I want pictures hung up! I want color! I wish I wish I wish.

Jaiden loves to go swimming, and its been so nice that we have a pool at our house!It is so much fun to have a baby in the summer- he just gets a kick out of playing at the park, or going for walks! It’s so fun. Ivan and I have both been working a lot but we try to do something outdoors during the evening and on Saturdays.

The 4^th of July is becoming one of my favorite Holidays. I absolutely LOVE Thanksgiving, its always been my numba 1. But just from how last year went with having Jaid at the parade and fireworks I am literally giddy thinking about this years plans. I love to go to the Balloons in Provo, we’ve been doing it since we were teeny babes (6am never sounded so good) then the Provo parade, then lunch and sometimes a movie, then of course pop-sicles and fireworks. Last year we went to the Sugar House fireworks- its always a great show (and prime people watching) but it is so crowded.. so we will see where we end up this year. Then Friday night we are off to Wyoming for Little Nano’s First Birthday!! (Ivan’s Brother’s Son Christiano) It’ll be so fun for Jaiden to have a cousin that is so close in age to him. Hopefully when they are older we will live closer to eachother- a 7 hour car ride… Thank goodness for movies in the car!! And forward facing car seats! Srsly though.

 Last year when baby Nano was born.

I can’t think of much more to ‘update’ you on- But we truly are so grateful for all of our friends, family and supporters! It’s such a blessing to have family so close! Soon even closer.. My parents bought a house just west of West Lake- it’s a beaut and we can’t wait to have them out by us!

Enjoy the summer weather!

Much Love,

The Rodriguez Fam.
