A Trip to Logan

Brandon, Alex and I were excited to finally make a trip up to Logan to visit Nikole and Jordan at USU. Crazy enough this was Brandon's first trip to Logan and Nikole and Jordan showed us a great time. We got go bowling and play games at Jordan's work, we ate at the Firehouse Pizzeria (which we highly recommend), we stayed up way too late playing games, and we even snuck in a little shopping. We had so much fun and can't wait to do it again. (That was me inviting myself back up).

Alex loved bowling. He wanted to take everyone's turns for them.

The End is Near...

Sadly the end of summer is near. So, Alex and I were excited to take advantage of at least one more day at the park before the weather starts to turn. It was a beautiful day and we had a lot of fun picnicking and playing with Wilson and Sadie.

The sand box was a big hit.

Tired and ready to go home!

This Kid

He is cute, entertaining, and just a little bit crazy. We sure love him!


Watching TV.
We found him sleeping one morning like this. One foot up in the air. Weird.

This happened today. I watched as Alex dove head first from the couch into the box of blankets. I might be the worst mom ever because as he cried I grabbed the camera for a quick picture before rescuing him.

We are so proud of our growing boy!

Utah Man Sir

Brandon and I were lucky enough to go to the first football game of the year. (And the first football game for the Utes as a member of the PAC12). Thanks Angie and Scott! Also, pass along the thanks to your bishop for giving you the calling that caused you to miss the game. We appreciate it! We had a lot of fun and got to see one good half of football. We will pretend like we left early and didn't have to watch that second half. But a win is a win. I was excited to get a chance to dust off one of my old muss shirts and Brandon wore a salmon colored Star Wars shirt because that is the closest thing he had to red. For shame.

Enjoy the iPhone photos in all their glory.

Water Baby

There is not much this kid is afraid of and water is definitely not one of them. He gets that from his Daddy. I am afraid of many things. Although his Daddy is afraid of bugs. During the week long Brandon Birthday celebration we took Alex swimming at the Kearns swimming pool. It was a lot of fun. Alex had a grand time going down slides and jumping off the side and into the pool.

One Year Older and Wiser Too!

It was Brandon's birthday this week and we spent almost a whole week celebrating. To kick it off Sarah and Jen were kind enough to host his party with my family at their house. We barbecued, ate, played games and ate some more.

We also spent Sunday with Brandon's family but sadly I forgot my camera. We had a delicious dinner and spent some time outside while Alex and Mikah wore us all out. On the 31st, his actual birthday, we had a fun day with just our little family. We went to see Captain America and ate dinner at Good Wood Barbecue.

Alex and I are so lucky to have Brandon in our family. He is an amazing Dad and husband. Happy Birthday!

A Night at the Park

Last Friday Brandon was kind enough to indulge my love for baseball and we went to a Bees game. It may pale in comparison to a Major League game but we had great seats and had a lot of fun. It was great to sit in the warm sun and chat without Alex stealing away our attention. The Bees lost we had fun anyway.
