Happy 6 Months!

We got together with the Tieks to celebrate the 6 month birthday of Jake and Cohen since they were born only hours apart. They grow so fast!!

Tis The Season

He was so excited to see Santa until he had to get within 2 feet of him.

Halloween

The Fam.

A Pumpkin and Robyn Hood/Peter Pan - Which ever comes to mind first.

Pumpkin Carving

You would think a 2 year old would take every opportunity to get all slimy and dirty, but the kid wouldn't get near the thing.

This is as close as he would let his hand get to it.

Good Hiding Place

It took me quite a while to find him.

School

A couple of us girls in the neighborhood started a little preschool. Luke loves playing with his friends and is always looking forward to the next time he gets to go to his "school."

Lake Powell

We went down to Lake Powell this last weekend with our friends the Pace and Smith family. I never thought Powell would be nice this late in the year, but the weather was perfect and the water was warm! Thanks to the Pace's and their totally sweet boat - we had a great time.



Water baby.

We stayed at the Lake Powell Resort, which is located right next to the boat ramp - it was really easy to come and go with the boat and their pool was really cool. This is the view from one of our rooms. It's a fun place to stay if you don't have a houseboat.

Any time Dan walked away from his seat, Luke would be sitting in it within seconds.

It was Jason's first time wakeboarding and he did awesome!

Why did we buy a bed?

At least he finally went to sleep.

The Cabin

We went up to my family's cabin the other day - Perfect weather!

Hiking Mt.Olympus

Kassidy and I hiked Mt. Olympus the other day. It was really pretty but tough - Probably won't do it again for a little while...

Would this be the coolest billboard ad or what?

Touching the highest point.

Summer is over already?

Who doesn't have one of these?

Blessing Day

It was Jake's blessing this last Sunday, but I was so busy thinking about other things that I forgot to take pictures! So this is one of the few pictures that were taken during the blessed event.

Summer & Such

4th of July - Cousins Luke, Lukas, Hayden and Mitt decided to adopt the rabid looking dog that emerged from the river that night...

Chillin, Maxin & Relaxin

So this is pretty much the smallest pool ever made. The previous owners of our home left it and now I can see why - Luke jumped into it and 3/4 of the water splashed out. Although, he will still play in it for hours if you let him.

The boys during storytime.

Awww...my sweet little cuteness.

We try to expose Luke to larger swimming pools as well.

Jacob Robert Carter is here!
