Slip n' Sit!

We got out the slip n' slide, but Charlotte just sat.

She did like the little pool!

CHARLOTTE OVER LOAD!

My sweet little girl is growing so fast. She amazes me everyday! We were reading Friday night and she pointed to the picture and said,"ELMO". She is always making us laugh and keeping us very busy. Last night she was trying to climb our coffee table. Ahhh! I feel so proud when she folds her arms when we say our prayers. I love when I find her in her room reading books or just playing with her babies. I'm in love! I wanted to share with you all some pictures of our Charlotte that make us smile!

Visiting July

Well July came and went, but that doesn't mean we didn't have fun here at the Fuhriman home! Each week we had a new visitor come to see us:

Week One

Grandpa Fuhriman came through to drop off some furniture from STL (I'll post about that later) he went to Oregon, but he missed us so much that he came back for the Fourth. While he was here Scott's brother Tim and his family were in town. Our sweet nieces dance every year in the Stadium of Fire here in Provo. It was great seeing them, but we also got to meet the new addition to the family...Keegan!

My Fourth of July Cake! I've always wanted to make this cake and I think it might just become a new tradition. 

So we went to the Provo temple to watch the fireworks this year...never again! We were stuck in traffic for hours. We didn't get home until one in the morning!

Week 2 

The week started off with us going down to Fairview to check out a reunion and retreat center where we might have our family reunion in a few years. It's called Fairview Reunion & Retreat. At the retreat there are goats...

 

and Chalotte loved to watch movies on the big screen in the conference room...

During week 2 and 3, I went back to work to fill in for Rich, my old boss at Dukes Jewelers. It was nice to go back, but I sure did miss my little woman at home. I don't know how working moms do it...I was so tired by the time I got home. Three cheers for moms that make it work.

Week 3
My old roomie and dear friend Ellen came into town to catch up. We all love hanging out with her and always enjoy her visits. She took our little family out to dinner to the Bombay House. It was so wonderful! (as I'm typing this, I'm craving it.) While she was here we got to together with our Freshmen and Sophomore roomies. It was fun to see all of them and catch up on life.

Week 4
We were looking forward to this week to see Melissa and Maya! It was so nice to spend some time with them. It made us miss the old days when they lived less than a hundred feet away. The little girls enjoyed getting to know each other as well.

Charlotte loves her friend's ears too!

Charlotte likes to pretend to lead music while she sings. She really gets into it! 

It was so wonderful to see them, but we did miss Rob! (maybe next time) Maybe next summer we will go see the Holmes in NH!


Week 5
Busy once more. We had a couple of days to regroup before Scott's parents came to stay with us. They came for the Ralston family reunion, which is every two years. It was a lot of fun to see family, but there were many missing this year. Out of the eight children from Scott's family only two were there: Scott and his sister, Darci. Hopefully they will all be there in two years! 

Also this past month I was put in the new Young Women's Presidency as the 2nd counselor. I'm over the Beehives (12-13 year olds). They are full of energy and make me giggle all the time. I'm really excited for the new responsibilities...wish me luck!

June in a nut shell

June started off with Girl's Camp (see post below). My mom and my sister Cate stayed other week visiting, which was a lot of fun. While they we here Scott and I celebrated our fourth wedding anniversary. Boy, has timed flown by!

      Then...
and now... We spent our anniversary up in Salt Lake. It was nice to spend time together just the two of us.

Art City Days

If you didn't know we live in Springville, aka "Art City"!  There's a parade, carnival, and many other activities to enjoy with the family. 

The leftover of our funnel cake...yummy!

Cute photo...to bad I look like a hot dog in it.


We went to the concert in the park, which was a lot fun watching the families jam out. It was interrupted by the rain. We were not prepared for the down pour, so we got drenched. We then came home to dried off and watched the fireworks from our driveway. Over all a great time with our little family.

Father's Day

 Charlotte just thinks her daddy is the funniest person around. When she wakes up on Saturday mornings she is so excited to see her daddy still in bed. She loves to wake him up with a big kiss, which then typically is followed by sitting on his head.  She just laughs, and of course we do too!

For father's day at our church we have a tradition of the kids making ties for their dads. Well I didn't want Scott to be left out, so...
Charlotte made one for Scott too (with a little help for her mom). 

 I'm so grateful to have a husband who loves me and our sweet Charlotte. Scott is such a great dad and a fab husband!

A Shower for Candis

Our young women's president Candis Roberts was having a baby, and moving all in the same week. Her move was not expected to be as fast as it was so we had to step it up on our gift.  Our young women's group in one day made a values quilt to give to Candis and her new baby. They all came over to my house and sewed their little hearts out. We had a lot fun and made some great memories together. The next day was the shower and everyone came together to make a great time for all.  

It was good to see Candis and wish her well. We will miss her tremendously. She is one of my favorite people, and she make any situation a lot more enjoyable. I'll miss stopping by her house to catch up and our may afternoons at the park.

The 28th isn't that some bodies birthday?
We ended the month of with Scott's birthday, which was not as eventful as hoped it would be. (I'm trying to recall what we did and I'm drawing a blank. Which is funny, because I started this post on the 28th.) I really dropped the ball! I love you, honey! Thanks Mama Pat for bringing Rafael Scott in to this world twenty-six years ago. He's a keeper!


Well let's see how the next moth goes...see ya soon!
