In November We...

Smiled for the camera

Accidentally took pictures that make us look like

professional photographers.

Made a cake for one super cute niece.

Got a McDonald's toy which we fully believe holds

the replica of Daddy inside.

Took advantage of last plays at the park before

hibernation.

Gazed at the beautiful leaves.

And attended our first basketball camp.

Two Little Additions.

These two darlings entered the family this year. I want to eat them up every time I see them. Need I say more?

Britain boy is our studly little miracle baby.

Katie & Eric welcomed him 3 months early

on February 18th (his Uncle Daniel's birthday).

He stayed in the NICU for a bit to grow

and came out a healthy little chub.

This pic was taken in May soon after

he was released. He is now

the smiliest boy you'll ever see.

Cute Jakara was born on May 21st to

Jake and Karaline.

Doesn't she have the best head of hair?

She was one of the prettiest newborns

I've ever seen.

She loves for her Aunt Melissa to

hold her, but gets a sad lip quiver

and begins to cry if Uncle Jonathan gets

too close. He thinks it's adorable,

so he trys relentlessly to hold her.

Hiking , Naked People, & Camping It Up.

Despite the fact that Tag is giant, we still packed him in like a babes and did some hiking this summer. Here are some shots from Wheeler Creek, up Ogden Canyon.

Funny story about this hike: we followed a little trail off the main hike down to a pooled area of the river. I was considering to take my shoes off and wade in when middle-aged, granola, male and female bikers pulled up behind us. The guy asked if I was going to take a dip, and I said I was thinking about it. He said, "Oh good, us too." We then laughed and moved out of the way just a few feet away to sit on some rocks. A few moments later I look over to see them both stripping down to their nothings....NOTHINGS! I say to Jon, "don't look, that lady is naked," of course, he immediately looks over. His comment, "They must be naked in the sun a lot, they don't have any tan lines. We quickly packed up our 2 yr. old and moved on up the trail. Really!! It felt like we were in some weird European country or something where we were the odd ones for not being comfortable with it.

After much convincing, I got Jon to agree to an overnight camp at his family reunion up Ogden Canyon. I can't blame him for the resistance; since having Tag, hanging out in a tent freezing our keisters off and trying to force our kid to sleep has not been super enjoyable. I was just sure this year Tag would be better and be stoked at the idea of making his own special bed away from home. Luckily, he was! He slept the entire night on his own bed with his special blankies and Bobo the bear.

The horrendously dangerous toys by our

camp enjoyed be all the children.

My June Boy.

Pictures of the cute boy I love from June at 2.4 years old.

Summer Lovin with ice cream.

Uncle Brock graduated high school!

This is where it would be appropriate to have a picture of

Brock in his cap and gown, oddly, I don't have one, so enjoy more

cute pics of Tag.
