Last week we went with Em, Hayley and Max to Little Haunts at This is the Place State Park. What a great deal! The kids absolutely loved it....they had tons of crafts, a petting zoo, pony rides, 2 train rides, and a candy canon. We even saw 2 snakes...very exciting!
What a fun couple of weeks! Matt had to work in St. George for a couple of days and my parent's had the condo the same week....so we all went together! We had a fantastic time doing the usual...swimming and eating out. We had such a great time with my parents. They are both amazing people, and so much fun to be around. We probably drove them crazy after a week together...but we sure had a blast!
It just so happened that Luke had his first birthday while we were in St. George. He loved eating his own cupcake (he actually had 3)....and the girls had a great time, too! When we got home, we had a big family birthday party at Becky's house for Luke and Benj. Of course, Becky made her awesome cakes...and she even made a cute little one for Luke. He loved it!
I am so grateful for Luke and the joy he has brought to our family. He is such a happy little mellow guy. He hardly cries...even when he is sick or hurt. Luke always has a smile on his face and a little love for anyone who picks him up. I think after having two "Daddy's girls" I actually have a "Mommy's boy". What a cutie!
Since Luke's 1st birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks, I thought I should probably do a slideshow of his first year! What a cutie he is....we absolutely adore him. He is our little mellow man...and he always has a smile on his face. What a joy!

Waiting for the bus to come...
Today was Kate's first day of school...I can hardly believe it. I have to admit.....I thought this would be much easier than it was. I am not sure who was more nervous. To those of you who are wondering how it went.....I am guessing it was okay?! I still haven't been able to get her to talk much about it....she has been too busy playing with her friends.
Look what I found while browsing our photographers website! There we are 6 1/2 years ago. What an awesome picture....I love the lights....and I especially love the groom!
My cute, cute Mom. What can I say...you are the greatest.
Here is Sam at the Dinosaur museum. She didn't dare to stand in front of the big shark....so she chose this one instead. A little less threatening. I would do the same...

This summer has been the best! We have done so much with both of our families----in fact, I think it even wore me out a bit. We started with a trip to Park City with the Timm's (sorry, no pictures!). The highlight of our trip was going down the Alpine Coaster. It was a blast---and anyone who knows Kate knows how much she loves fast rollercoasters. I definitely think it is better than the Alpine Slide---I think Kate would agree.
