Pool Days

At the end of the day, Lucas decides to make the move on Ella... her first kiss!

Check out Lucas strutting his stuff!

Last week I had a pool day date for Ella (two of her boyfriends over at the same time!) in our backyard. She loves the water... so any chance I can get her in the water she's happy!





Usually we go to Kylie's pool (my sister- in- law) and meet up with friends & family. Julianne and Gracie were there this day, and so was Scott ...which is rare to see him during the day on a weekday!

Magic Valley

On Saturday we went up to Magic Valley Reservoire so that the boys could go fishing... Scott had a great time, where every cast you caught a fish! We came home with 100 fish that day - no joking! (99-perch, 1-bass)

Kirkham Hot Springs

Last weekend we went to Kirkham Hot Springs with Kassie & Steven. It was a perfect day to go... luckily there was a nice hot shower there, since Scott forgot to take one that day!

On the way back home, we stopped off along Bank's River to go fishing and I actually caught the first one!

Park City, UT

We took some family pictures right outside of our cabin... one of the last times all of us will be together for a long time!

We spent most of our days here at the pool and hot tub right around the corner at the club house.

Even our little babies had fun on the boat... even though they felt like they were in straight jackets!

Look at Scotty go! This is his first time attempting wakeboarding since his ACL surgery on his knee. I was very proud.

For the 4th of July my family always gets together at Park City for a few days. This year we rented a ski boat with a tube, wakeboard and skis.



My best friends Jessica and Melinda were able to come down to Park City for a day visit. The two prego's had fun comparing belly sizes and sorting out my maternity clothes! It was a great time for us all to get together, us all living in different states: Idaho, Utah and Texas.

Mission Call

My only brother was nice enough to wait one day to open his mission call so that we could all see him open it at my family vacation in Park City. We were so suprised to hear he's going to serve in the Singapore Misson! It was a very exciting time for all of us!

Denver Trip

Jenna & Charlie flew us down to Denver to put in their backyard for the week. It was a fun time to see them and have Brynlee and Ella play together. Ella learned how to climb up stairs while we were there, yet she hasn't quite mastered going down them. You'd think with all the falls on her head she'd figure it out!

Sandy Beach

Last week we went to the Sandy Beach Pointe at Lucky Peak for FHE. It was Ella's first experience at a beach-like atmosphere...except it was a reservoir! We had a nice time bringing some take-out dinner and putting Ella's feet in the water. Although it was a hot day, the water was way TOO COLD to swim in, so we basically had a fun time looking at the water.

The Fam

Here is our most recent family picture.

Eating!

Ella loves to eat by smashing the food into her mouth herself. Just check out all her success!

Crawling

Ella is 10 months and now, crawling everywhere and pulling herself up onto everything! She looks sweet, but something inside her tells her to get into anything she can get her hands on!
