The Hike

We hiked to Blue Body Pond on our camping trip. Aaron carried Ethan and I carried Landon, well most of the way. It was a beautiful hike down to the ponds, and by the time we go there we were ready to get into the cool water.


Ethan loved playing in the water and so did his Grandpa.







It was so nice at the bottom in the water, but we had to hike back up. So we straped the babies on and headed out.

















Thanks Dad for carrying Landon the rest of the way up. He was totally cute sleeping most of the way up and I know that we were all wishing we could sleep up the trail instead of walk up it.

Family Camp

We headed out to Boulder, Utah to get a little closer to nature and my family. The boys did great on the drive and Ethan helped the local plants by watering them.














We had such a great time sitting by the fire, roasting marshmallows, eating smore's, and having a great time laughing and talking.


Rada loved holding Landon, and how could she not, he is so cute.







I love getting together with my sisters. They are so much fun!










We did crafts, played games, and just had a really great time with each other.



Thanks everyone for clearing your schedules to come to family camp. I had such a great time and I wish we could all live in the same "coul-de-sac" so we could see each other every day.

Family Reunions 2010

We had two family reunions a couple of weeks ago. The first was for my family. I was able to spend some time with my Grandparents, my Aunt, one of my cousins, and his family. It was fun to touch base with everyone and see my Grandparents that I love so much.








The next reunion we went to was for Aaron's family. We had a great time seeing Aaron's parents, Ethan's cousin's and his extended family.










There was a pool and a bounce castle. Ethan had such a fun time playing that he totally zonked out on our way back home.

July 4th 2010

We had a great 4th of July this year. We started the day off at the Cherry Day's parade. Ethan had great time seeing the fire trucks, floats, and collecting candy.










Even though Landon missed his morning nap he was still such a good boy. I bought him this hat and I think he looks so cute in it.

After the parade we headed home for naps and to get ready for our party. We had a great dinner and the kids had a fabulous time playing on the play set in the back yard. After dinner we headed out front for our annual balloon launching contest. It was a BLAST!!! Many of our neighbors came over to see if they could get in on the fun too, and lots of cars stopped to watch, it was pretty funny.

Our friends the Snow's came over to help us celebrate. They have the cutest kids, and Ethan loves to play with them.


Every year we shoot off army men fire works. All the kids chase after them and try to catch them, it is tons of fun watching the kids run around trying to see where they will land.

Ethan loved the Sparklers this year and made great shapes with them.

This year we had a glow stick decorating competition. I think it was a tie between Kak and Joe. Everyone really got into it. We had such a great time that I think we will do it every year.


The Three Amigos!

Thanks everyone for coming up to celebrate with us. We sure love having the 4th of July at our house, and hope to make many more memories as the years go on.
