some late summer fun

We couldn't be happier that the temperatures are coming down and that Fall is approaching. It is the best time of year. Here are some pictures of some fun we have had these last couple weeks of summer.

A beautiful afternoon we spent at the Reservoir with Aunt Bdr.




Some pictures of the weekend we spent camping. Katy helped me cook breakfast Saturday morning and Julia brought her big bear along to experience the fun and dirt that come with camping.
Jack and Jason spent the morning fishing, but the fish weren't interested.
And on our way up, a young kid fell asleep at the wheel and hit the car. It's hard the see but right across from the mile post is a tire mark. That is how far he drifted into our lane. We are so grateful everyone is alright and we didn't hit head on.
We're so excited for the Fall and the fun times that follow!

Grandmas

We love our Grandmas and Great Grandmas so much. They bring such love and light into our kid's lives. We especially wanted to wish Great Grandma Barbra a Happy Birthday this August 4th and tell her how much we miss her and love her. I have booked a ticket to come home in early September and Julia will be with me. We look forward to seeing you Grandma Barbra and I can't wait for Julia to meet you. We will have to meet up and go to lunch again with Grandma Cathy! Here is a special wish from Jack, Katy and little bit of Julia.

And here are some photos of the fun we had in early Spring.

California!

We lost the ability to take pictures on our hand held digital after we got home from CA, but we do have one recent video to share.

This summer we have celebrated Jason's 38th birthday, Independance Day and Pioneer Day and have had a lot of fun in between fishing and camping. We went fishing the other day and naturally the kids ended up throwing rocks and other things in the creek, so Jason moved farther down stream. But we had a great time.

it's been a while...

Well, I am about to upload all of our pictures and videos from 2010 to the photo department at our local grocery store to be burned to a cd. Then I can delete them off of our computer and begin loading it up again with fun memories in 2011. Before I do so, I wanted to post some of the fun we had in 2010. It was an alright year for us. We just love our little kiddos so much and can't believe this year, Jack will be 5, Kaitlyn will be 4 and Julia will be 2. They are growing up so fast.

This was one of Jack's great moments. We camped up at Strawberry Reservoir in late October and Jack went fishing early one morning with Jason. Jason helped him set his pole up and even though Jack was picking it up and putting it down and knocking it over every few minutes, he finally caught one! He was thrilled!

The week of Christmas we got about 18 inches of new snow! Perfect timing!

This picture was taken at our Ward Christmas party where Kaitlyn sat by Santa Claus for the first time and wasn't scared to death. She told Santa and Mrs. Claus she wanted a doll and some jewelry for Christmas.

When Grandma Cathy came to visit! This is always the best time of the year!

And Julia is always happy to be playing and growing up around her big brother and sister. They play so well together and love to be in each others company
