Erasure!

After more than 5 years, Erasure returned to Utah! I went to the show with my sisters. I also saw a lot of friends there - it was a great night and a super show!!

Me, Courtney & Chelsea

Frankmusik opened for Erasure and did a great job. I really enjoyed it!

Caleb and Gage Pictures

Here are some pictures of Caleb and Gage from the past few months:

In their new Disneyland shirts - Tigger and Mickey. Thanks, Kris!!

Gage - sound asleep. I went in his room to wake him up from his nap and he didn't even stir!

Gage - walking like a pro now!

Caleb - walking like a pro (with his walker!!)

Smiley, Caleb boy!

Caleb - already trying to cause trouble!!

A few random pics

This is the day Caleb and Gage discovered toilet paper! Yes, I only turned my back for a minute before they had almost an entire roll unraveled. I couldn't get a picture of ALL the toilet paper that was all over the place. Silly boys!!

Gibson on his first day of second grade! What a big boy! I can't believe he is in the second grade already!

Why I Hate Winter

You just have to look at the next few blog entries to understand why I hate winter so bad. Summer is AWESOME! There is so much to do outside. We are ALWAYS outside in the summer doing something fun and being active. Winter sucks. I'm really upset it's almost here. At least we have next summer to look forward to!

Donut Falls - September 5, 2011 (Labor Day)

For Labor Day this year, we decided to hike up to Donut Falls again. This time Grandma and Grandpa (and the rest of Utah) came! It was crowded, but we still had a great time! We always have a great time hiking!

Gibson getting close to the Falls.

A great picture of my mom and dad!

A family picture - close to the Falls (as close as we could hike with the babies).

Enjoying our lunch - sandwiches from Jimmy Johns, YUMMY!

Caleb and Gage eating a snack!

Swinging - Summer 2011

The boys had a lot of fun on their swingset this summer!

Swimming Summer 2011

We spent a lot (A LOT) of time at the pool this summer. One time, I actually remembered to take my camera! Here's some pictures.

Gage.

Caleb - laughing while playing in the waterfall.

The whole family.

Brady and his boys.

I'm just bummed I never remembered to take the camera when my mom came swimming with us. She was there most of the time we went, to help me with the babies. We went at least twice a week with grandma!

Lake Mary - August 21, 2011

We decided to go up to Lake Mary again. We enjoyed our first hike so much, that we wanted to do it again. This time grandpa came with us! We had a ton of fun!

Gibson by Dog Lake (a little side hike on the way to Lake Mary).

The wildflowers were so beautiful!

It was just gorgeous up there. I can't even describe how much I enjoy it up there.

Me sitting with Caleb by Lake Mary.

Grandpa and Gibson went hiking on their own for a little bit.

Sticking our feet in the Lake. Gage and Caleb got really mad when we took their feet out of the water. They wanted to go all the way in and play in the water! But it was too cold (and swimming is not allowed).

BEAUTIFUL!

Enjoying a break and a snack on the way up.

This is one of my favorites of them together!

A HUGE thanks to our friend, Rhonda, for taking such wonderful pictures again!
