Jordanelle

Our first stop in Utah (after crashing at Grandma Vance's) was Jordanelle reservoir.  Lady K and I practiced swimming for our triathlon and then we met up with Aunt Kim and our cute cousins and played on the beach.  It was a great day!!

The boys paddle boarding!!

We love J Dude.

Aunt Kim and her super cute little O.

We love this clever little man (Aunt Kim's son V.)

Fathers' Day

Fathers' Day was so much fun this year!!  We did presents and had a great BBQ.  It was such a fun day and so fun to finally have our dad home!!  We missed him when he was gone on his work trips.  He decided to grow a beard to see if people at work would realize he is 38 not 26 so you will see the starting of this beard in these picts.

Garage Sale

Last Friday Little L and her friend decided to earn some money doing a garage sale.  They helped their moms go through and clean out their homes so that they would have items to sell.  It was a huge success and they earned a lot of money.  J Man and Baby R sold drinks and cookies an earned quite a bit too.  Great job you little business men and women!

Seven Months

It is unbelievable!  Big B is 7 months!!  Here is a little peak into his world.

He loves lying and playing in the grass, especially if there is a nice breeze.

He learned how to climb stairs

He loves to climb up on everything

He spends most of the day hunting in the corners for food

Such a cutie!

He is such a HAPPY boy!!  We love his laugh and cheerfulness!!

Look mom, one hand!!

Colorado Rapids

My good friend Kat got us tickets to go to a Colorado Rapids soccer game.  It was  a ton of fun.  We were introduced to the whole scarf thing and had a blast watching the game and cheering our team on.  Gooooooooooooal!!
