Summer Days...

Nathaniel and Caleb love to be outside playing, this morning we were out riding around. Nathaniel helped Caleb ride his bicycle, Caleb loved it. Caleb has a little scooter that he rides around on, he is fearless. Most of you all know that we have a very steep drive way, Caleb loves to go zooming down it, one of these times he is going to crash and burn, I keep trying to explain it

to him, but you know a one almost two year old, they have a mind of their own! Last night we went to Pack meeting for Cub Scouts, they had water games and relay races, it was a lot of fun, Caleb especially loved the water balloon's, he was sneaky he acted like he was going to just play with the balloon, and when you least expected he through it right at you.

Fun Family Day..

We ate at the Mayan Restaurant, it was amazing, they had a show
while you ate. There were waterfalls and small pool , they
told about the Mayan people, they did a rain dance, while they did the rain dance
the lights started flashing like a thunder and lighting storm. Divers dove of the
the rocks. Caleb and Nathaniel were very entertained. If you have a chance
take your kids, just to watch the show. The photo didn't turn out to well, it was
dark and every time I would take the photo the lights would flash.

Thursday we went to Salt Lake, to the Gateway we walked around


and went through the old train depot, at the Gateway. This was a photo of the


stain glass windows in the hall. It was beautiful. After walking around the gateway
we rode the tracks. Caleb loved this, it was his first time riding the train. Every time
we see or hear a train now he yells "train choo choo"

Nathaniel and Caleb having fun waiting for the tracks to arrive.
We walked around temple Square. The temple grounds are so peaceful.

The day was a great day, we probably walked about eight to ten miles, the weather was perfect, about 80 degrees, and a slight breeze.

Youth Conference..

This past weekend we went to Manti Utah with Youth in our ward, we had a great time we went to the Manti Pageant, swimming, and we camped out in my brother-in-law yard. This is a photo of the temple just before the Pageant and just after it finished, it is so beautiful. The Manti Temple is one of my favorite temples.

Nathaniel is home again...

Nathaniel has been gone for ten days with his grandpa, camping and fishing, up in the fish lake area. He really wasn't sure that he wanted to go for so long, but he had a great time. My dad told us that he was like a "coo-coo clock every hour on the hour, reminding him that he was very homesick and he wanted to come home. When he got home on Saturday he had some tales to tell. First he told us of how many fish he caught, four to be exact, then he continued to tell us the size of them, they seemed to grow in leaps and bounds each one he told us about, the first being small and by the end it was the size of a whale. :) He also informed us that he cooked and ate them. On to the next tale, he saw big foot at least three times, and Annie who lived with the wolves? I was laughing about big foot but was clueless to Annie. Nathaniel went on to tell me that she was a young girl who was raised by the wolves and she still roams the mountains, she has white hair, if you are watching close at night, sitting around the campfire you might see her rushing by. He was certain that he saw her, I think that my dad must of been telling him stories around the campfire. Next he told us that it snowed and snowed, at least a foot, so they were stuck in the trailer for some time, can you believe that it was snowing in June, crazy weather! He thought that not having something to do was so boring, I thought man I wish that I was there just relaxing, to be young again and enjoy those moments. How often can we say we don't have anything to do? All in all he had a great time camping with grandpa, I am so glad that he is able to go and do things with his grandparents, and thanks to them that they are willing to spend time with the grand kids. Thanks dad, although he reminded you every hour that he was home sick, I know that he will treasure the time that he spent with you.

Random Pics

Your probably wondering why I am putting a photo of mom laying on the bed, I had to show you the shirt that she was wearing, and tell you what my little boy Caleb did, he was playing with grandma on the bed, he was tickling her, he asked what was on her shirt, she told him that they were Poka dots, he got this look on his face and he proceeded to poke her belly, and he says "Poka Dots" it was quiet comical.

cute photos of caleb

Caleb loved the water at the reception center, he sat on the bench for a long time just watching the waterfalls, and he kept saying "Wow Pretty" I think that he wanted to play in the water, but it made him happy just to sit and relax. When we said that it was time to go he threw a fit, but as we were leaving he said "fun." The photo of Caleb laying on the bed was cute, he had brought the book to daddy and asked him "daddy please read me a book" with those puppy dog eyes, how could you resist.
