Rodeo Time

Saturday July 5th the WHOLE SLATER family went to the Oakley Rodeo, minus a few kids. We went to Red Rock (except for my brothers) up in Kimball Junction before and it was yummy. I don't have any pictures of July 4th because I had a 24 hour stomach flu and it was a miserable day. Glad to be feeling lots better. Melanie and her family and Kate.
 We were kidless and felt like newly weds.

 Mar and her family.
 The girls
 They boys- Steve and Jamey think they are red necks..

 I couldn't get over Wyatt's ripped arms.
 Being cheesy.
 The crew. My brother Greg and his wife Sara and my other brother Steve and his 3 boys met us there.
 We seriously had such a blast.
 Best sisters ever!


The Start of July

July is going to be an awesome month, we have been looking forward to it for a long time now. We have a big family trip to Canada and my sister Marianne is coming to town for the whole month. Let the party begin.
I love when Wells snuggles with me and lays on me. He is such a sweetheart.

6 kids loaded up to head to Mel's house
Blackridge Reservoir right by my sister Melanie's house. It was so pretty and the kids had a ball.
Kate and Wells.
My mom kept tipping over cause she was on a weird slope but it was so funny!!
Drew and Lennon, two months apart
We went and did a late night Wal-Mart trip to get stuff for Canada. These two were trying to find some good potpourri for our RV trip coming up. They were on this aisle for 20 minutes sniffing every kind. Let's get honest, nothing is going to make an RV smell better.

Thursday July 3rd we went up to Silver Lake
Bennett and Wells
Cute kiddos
Mar and I
I let Wellington walk for a bit and of course he tripped and fell right into the swamp. He was covered in nasty mud.

These three little angels all two months apart. Drew, Lennon, and Lauren. Drew was the last born but for sure has the biggest head!

Choo Choo I'm TWO!

Sunday June 29th Wellington turned TWO!! AHHH, so insane that Jamey and I have been parents for 2 years now. He is so busy and always wants to laugh. He also has such a tender heart and needs love from us all the time. He knows when I'm upset and he snuggles me. He loves reading the scriptures and will remind US to pray. I really love him so much, even those tantrums that have come into full swing. 
He eats like a grown man.. he sometimes actually eats more than Jamey at meals. I really haven't come across anything he doesn't love. I'm talking onions, olives, spicy food, garlic you name it! He has a serious appetite. He just recently (two months ago) went down to one nap a day. He sleeps around 12-13 hours a night. Wells seriously gets giddy when he gets into his bed he LOVES his sleep. He talks a little, it for sure has been slow moving for him, but just with turning two he has started to put some words together and it's so exciting. 
Wow Daddy
Hi Annie (Andrew)
Cool Daddy
Uh-oh Mommy
Pizza Pie Daddy

The first word he said was DUCK (still his favorite word)

2 YEAR STATS:
Height: 39.9 inches- Off the Charts
Weight: 33.8 pounds- 95th percentile
Head Circumference: 19.8 inches- 90th percentile
He is just solid and a man
Wondering what is going on when we went into his room singing Happy Birthday!
So happy with his new toy



Time for church in a new birthday bow tie that I made him.

I love him and those huge eyes
