8-08 Water babies

Jordan and Austin have had plenty of fun in the sun this summer... and we're sad that the summer months are closing in. Here are some pictures of Jordan swimming at the Bowen's, at the Treehouse, and on the Lake with his little buddy, Jackson.

My baby's 1st Day of Preschool

Jordan just started his 1st year of preschool and so far he's loving it. I'm still trying to get over the fact that my little baby boy is growing up.. fast!

8-25-08 FHE Night at the Beechers

The Beechers had the best FHE night ever; Jackie is of course, one of the most creative women I know and she had some fun things planned for the kids, a great message, and banana splits for dessert. We love our old neighbors and I wish we could see them all more!

8-19-08 Dinosaur Kids

Here are some of my favorite boys: Jack, Corbin, and of course, my little Jordan. These boys had a play-day at the Dino. Museum and they had fun digging in the dirt and getting their little hands dirty.

7-08 Havasupai

Jared and I were invited to go on this amazing hike with a group of friends from St. George. The Havasupai waterfalls were absolutely breathtaking and we had so much fun camping, hiking, and swimming down in the Grand Canyons. We were so lucky that the trip wasn't planned a month later; one of the damns recently collapsed and it destroyed the Havasupai campgrounds. But what an experience; we are so glad that we went on this amazing adventure!

8-13-08 Jackson Hole, WY

Here's some of our family pictures in Jackson, WY. We spent some time at the Grand Tetons and we went to the Chuckwagon Dinner and cowboy show. Jordan told us that he liked the show so much, it was just as fun as the monster truck show.. so that means it ranked at a 10!

8-12-08 Jackson River

Uncle Layne and Aunt Diane run the Jackson River each year and it's quite a production! There's always a big group of people and we always have a great time. Jordan got to paint rocks with the kids, and we got to camp overnight (whew, it was chilly!!) We had fun hanging out with everyone and enjoying the great outdoors.

8-09-08 Jared's Reunion

Here's some great pictures of some of Jared's Alta HS friends; I was so glad that I had a chance to meet some of Jared's friends and here some of the stories from his Alta days. We had a nice dinner at the Marriott the night before (8/08/08); the next day everyone met up at Draper Park for a family park day, part two of the HS reunion.

7-08 Jared's Chopper

Now this is the coolest bike I've ever seen (just ask Jordan about Jared's new bike.. he'll tell you, "My daddy's chopper is sooo cool!!) Now here's what I love about it: Jared had this bike painted to sort of showcase a piece of each member of our family; Jordan's birthday (21) are represented by the Ace and the King on the playing cards on one side of the gas tank; Austin's birthday (24) are the numbers on the two dice (# 2 and #4) on the other side of the bike. Jared had my face painted on the gas tank, the the two boys' names are painted in the flames going down the sides by the seat of the bike. I was shocked when I saw this bike and I was even more shocked at how much time and thought Jared put into this crazy paint job. It's quite amazing! And as forward-thinking as he is, he even left two cards with the faces down that can be painted as our family grows. Quite the tribute to our little family. Can't you see why my boys love their daddy so much??

7-08 Cherry Hill

Here's some pictures of the boys playing at the water park. We camped overnight and the kids were such troopers - they've been camping quite a bit lately and Jordan is always asking when are we going to go camping again..
Everyone had a great time!!
