Yellowstone!

Saw a few of these guys on our trip!

We had so much fun staying at the Old Faithful Lodge and celebrating Grandma's 50th birthday. Yellowstone is so pretty.

Jenny Lake

We stopped and played at Jenny Lake ... beautiful! The kids loved it (until they were all soaking wet and had to walk back to the car).

The Tetons Visitor Center

Camping at Payson Lakes

Not the best fishing that day, but we had fun paddling around the lake anyway.

All of the kids enjoyed sleeping in a tent, EXCEPT OWEN!! Brent took him home at 3am after we were sick of the crying. He joined us again the next morning for breakfast, but Owen acted quite sleepless the next day, as you can tell.

Hiking to Timp Caves

One of our summer hikes was to Timp Caves with our next door neighbors, the Harts. Above picture is Sam, Mia, Becca, Ellie, Nathan. Below picture is me carrying Sam, which I did much of the way :)

Happy 4th of July from Owen!

Beautiful Becca

Just some pictures of my gorgeous daughter (excuse my motherly pride)

NEBO! Yah!

Thank you, thank you. I did it. This was my goal for the summer. I've hiked Timp lots of times but never Nebo ... 'til now. It was amazing. Now which mountain next year?

Important days

Here you see Becca at her preschool graduation with her beloved teacher Tecia and her best friend Mia. Also, here's Nathan on kindergarten graduation day. Congratulation, cute kids!

Wow. It's been awhile.

Sorry to you faithful blog checkers out there. I've been scolded a few times lately for not using my blog. Fine. Here's a whole bunch of pictures from the last several months.

Birthday Season

Spring is birthday season for us, starting with Owen's birthday in February. Unfortunately, Owen was sick on his birthday and wasn't really amused by new toys or cake.


Sam, on the other hand, has been talking about toys and cakes all month. We had three different parties for him since the whole family/extended family was sick on and off all month.

In case you can't tell, the below cake is a Wallace & Gromit rocketship. Sam's a big Wallace & Gromit fan.

Happy Winter!

There's one good thing about the enormous drifts of snow that pile up in from of our garage ... once they're shoveled off, they make good sledding hills right in the front yard!
