The last few weeks

I know I should be saying the last few months but I just don't have time to recap it all.

Summer is here and life is so crazy busy! (but it is super fun) We have been playing so much outside swimming, swinging, riding bikes and so much more.


The fourth of July weekend was extra fun. Mat's Brother Jake and his wife Syd were sealed in the temple on Saturday so Mat and I took a quick trip to Seattle to be with them we had so much fun with them and seeing their place there.
We then rushed home to be with our boys. They spent some time with Grandma, Grandpa and Bryan and Kiersti at the Bear Foot Retreat Cabin that Grandma and Grandpa just purchased in Midway. The cabin is super cute and we can't wait to spend time there.
On Monday we spent some time with the Spill's having a BBQ and going to Layton City Fireworks, have I really lived here 7 years and never enjoyed the extravaganza? They were awesome! It will be the new tradition!! Check out the cute shirts Mary made for all the kids.

This is Big D picking up the Dragon Fly that Brock found in the backyard. He has no fear, Brock was yelling at him to let go before he smashed it. It was super funny.

One

It's super hard to believe that Baby D is a year old. We had so much fun celebrating his birthday. As you can see he loved eating his cake. The photo does not show the frosting that found it's way into his ears and nose. When I took him to bath him he sneezed and frosting shot out his nose.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY D we love having you in our family!

BiG Brother

Brock is truly the best big brother ever. He is always finding fun things to do with D. One day awhile back Brock brought me these two bandanna's and asked me to tie them one at a time on his head so he could play pirates. I was not sure why he needed two but I happily met his request. I few min later I came into the living room to find that he had put one on D's head so he could play pirate too.


He loves pushing D around in the laundry basket.

He recently found that Duncan loves to roll around in a pile of pillows so he frequently bring every pillow from the house out for D to play in. We are so blessed to have Brock in our family!!

Best Baby Ever

Duncan is 9 months old and is really a great baby! He has such a happy personality and really keeps us on our toes with his adventurous exploration's. He want to see and touch everything and figure out what it can do. He loves his Daddy, when Mat gets home form work he just lights up with excitement.
Duncan got his first cold this past week and the poor kid has been having a really hard time breathing. I took him to the doctor and he has Bronchiolitis (inflammation of the small passages in the lungs (bronchioles), usually caused by a viral infection.) We are giving him treatment with the nebulizer and he is so good at just sitting there while he has the treatment. Even while he has been sick he has still been very happy.

Super Star Student

Brock was awarded the Super Star Student! He got this certificate and a free dinner at the Golden Corral. We are so proud of him! Off to the GC we go to celebrate!

No more curls

Where oh where have all my curls gone? I could not fight it any more they seem to be gone. Lets all hope not forever!!!
I decided to give a new do a try UNTIL their much awaited return.

Suit Up

My handsome boy! Brock has been asking us for a suit for several months so we finally got him one. He is so proud of his suit. He has worn it to church every Sunday and when I ask if he is wearing his suit he looks at me as if I have asked the dumbest question ever. (so now I ask just to see his face) He had to wear it to both Grandparents houses and make sure that everyone noticed, he did not say anything to them just gave a GQ stance an waited for a response. He is so cute!
