Getting Older

Nothing like turning a year older!! I celebrated the big 28 last Friday! We celebrated by going to dinner, hitting up the last Harry Potter movie, and getting some ice cream! Nothing beats my man, a nice big cherry coke, popcorn, and a good movie! It was a great day and I was spoiled by too many people! Thanks for all the birthday wishes and gifts!

She walks...

Reese took her first two steps right before we left for Bear Lake It just so happened that I was talking to my mom on the video phone...so she got to see it! We tried to get her to walk more in Bear Lake but with so many people there she figured it was more fun to be held. When we got home Kurt kept playing with her and getting her to take more and more steps, so about a week and a half ago she started cruising around!! I love seeing those fat little thighs carry her everywhere! She is so happy and loves following us around! I can't believe how big she's getting! Next week she turns one! Where did a year go!?

Bear Lake

Every year we go to Bear Lake for three days with my aunt and her sweet family! We've resorted to getting us a room at the lodge because lets face it...i don't camp, especially with two kids! We headed out Friday morning and then came home on Sunday. We had two whole fun days on the lake, yummy pizza, raspberry shakes, and of course good company! Thanks Beck for letting us always crash the party and hang out with you guys!! I slacked at the picture taking, so I stole some of my aunts! We love Bear Lake and look forward to going every year!

The Grandkids.

A couple of weeks ago my siblings and I got our kids together on a Sunday night to take some pictures for my parents...

Love these crazies!

4th of July

As always we headed to Midway this year to spend some quality time with my side of the family! This is actually the last year without mom and dad! Next year we will be celebrating with them...or possibly picking them up from the airport! We enjoyed some Mexicana....

Yes he ended up at a table by himself...is anyone surprised?

quality time at the park....

sparklers and snaps (or cotton candies as Ethan liked to call them). Love my family!

Early Monday morning we ventured over to East Canyon to spend the rest of the time with Kurt's family. We got two days of boating in...with not so good weather, but awesome water! Reese ended up getting a new life jacket because the infant life jacket zipper wouldn't zip up due to those fat cheeks.

Zoom in close to see all the bugs Kurt killed while skiing. I don't know what happened but at some point we went through lots of bugs! Pretty nasty!

And of course we had to go see the Hennifer fire works! We always look forward to this holiday because we get to be with both families!

Some summer happenings...

Man I'm behind. Life has been a tad crazy lately so here is a quick update of what's been going on. We went to the zoo with some friends and had tons of fun! I was bad at taking pictures and only go two.

We went to see Cars 2 at the drive in. We even took our little crazy head who had to be restrained in her car seat and then finally fell asleep. As we pulled in we noticed Kurt's sis and her family there, so we pulled right up next to them and enjoyed the movie together.

And amongst our craziness Ethan learned to ride his bike with no training wheels. He thinks he's pretty hot stuff on it and likes to show off. He's learning that showing off isn't always fun when you fall and biff it pretty good! We are way proud of him!

We also celebrated Father's Day, attended my Grandpa's funeral, and have been able to get some boating in. I pretty much suck at picture taking lately. Hopefully I'll be better with the next posts!
