Good Times...


Coloring with Uncle Dallin Paul.

Last Friday we packed up and headed for Salt Lake. We did a little shopping at Gygi's (a fun kitchen store) and REI, where we got a bike trailer/stroller that I am super excited about. That night we stayed stayed at Toph & Emily Ann's house. It was so fun to hang out and Owen had a blast playing with his cousins in the sandbox, going to the hardware store with his Aunt Emily Ann, eating chocolate chip pancakes, a yummy picnic lunch, working on the awesome treehouse, and just being together.


Wrestling with Uncle Toph

Baby Ava loves her Aunt Emily Ann.

On Saturday afternoon, we got to see Matthew (Matt's nephew) get baptized and enjoy a yummy dinner afterwards. Then we got to hang out with more family and Owen had fun playing with cousins and the many awesome toys at Michael & Pam's house.

Some new pictures of Ava- she is growing up so fast and can hold her head up really well. She is a happy girl.


The other night before bed, Matthew asked Owen to fold his arms for prayers and Owen responded, "no, too busy." So we said prayers anyways and somehow, Owen, thank goodnes, found time in his busy schedule to join us :). Good reminder that I need to make sure I'm not to busy for the important things.

Looks like fun - and makes me so excited to come for a visit! Ava is such a doll - I love her little dress in that picture! Can't wait to see you all.

Oh, sweet Ava. I had a dream that her dress was stuck on her, hopefully that was just a dream :)
Thanks so much for coming down, I loved that Owen wanted to come to the Hardware store with me, my kids could care less about me, so even though we didn't have a stirring conversation, I was glad to be with him. And again, you know we love to have you guys, and hope you'll come again!
Love you!
ps--do you love my novel?
