His newest trick

This boy is full of tricks! It is a pretty amazing thing watching such a tiny person learn new skills each day. He is currently working on crawling. Here are a few of him rolling over the other day- he's getting pretty good at it.


Oh, and he loves the camera!

Elk Meadows

Earlier this month we went hiking with the Coffins up Elk Meadows to see all the flowers. It was hot & the kids weren't the most cooperative luggage to haul, but the flowers were beautiful. It was amazing to see the whole hill-side covered with all these bright yellow blossoms!

Baby Food

I was worried Van wasn't getting enough to eat (& later found out I was right) so I tried to feed him some cereal to curb his appetite. It went pretty well, but he is clearly not ready for it yet & that's ok because I love the time we spend together nursing.

Independance Day

Happy 4th! Van had a great time watching the Stucki's annual fireworks show at the elementary school. He was absolutely fascinated by the bright flashing colors- it was pretty funny!
The next day we got together with the Coffins for a little throw back fun with the Slip-N-Silde!

June Highlights

What a busy summer it's been. We always have so many plans of wonderful trips & vacations, but it seems like we never get around to many of them. This summer has been eventful, but we've stuck close to home.


Brittani & Jace moved back to Idaho with thier 2 little ones. We went camping up near their home in Burley at Lake Walcott and took a road trip to Shoshone Falls.

We spent a long weekend in Bear Lake with our friends (the Coffins, Riebecks & Jensens) where we played in the pools, at the beach, mini golfed, ate a humongous pizza and rocked Guitar Hero! We spent Sunday at Tyler's grandma's house & she spoiled us like always. It was a great weekend!
