Trip to San Diego

For Ashley's 31st birthday, we all took a trip to La Jolla, CA to visit the beach. Ashley's friend Emily, offered us her townhouse for 5 days, so we went and had a great time.

The first day we got the to beach, Ashley brought a beach umbrella, beach chair and toys and realized that she never even sat down once! The boys just wanted to run up and down the beach and explore!

Daniel just loved to play in then water and jump over the waves

Since the boys wake up so early (usually 5:30 or 6 AM) we went to the beach early, before it got too hot or crowded, and it became Ashley's favorite time to go.

Jump on It

We discovered a great place this week in Lindon called Jump On It. It is a huge warehouse filled with about 50 connection trampolines that kids can jump on. We all had a great time.Daniel had the time of his life!

Nate still hasn't totally figured out how to jump yet, but he had a fun time chasing the balls and sort of bobbing up and down!

We went to Jump on It with our friends Jonny & Lisa

Trip to the Hoagle Zoo

On Wednesday, Ashley took Daniel and Nate to the Hoagle Zoo in Salt Lake City . It was SO hot (and stinky) there, but the boys really enjoyed it. Daniel was very excited to see the Tigers and ride the train.Nate loved looking at all of the animals. He was practicing all of the animal noises he can make now "Grrrr".

It was hard to keep the boys still for this picture. They wanted to run from animal to animal!

Brooke & Stuart Visit

Last weekend Ashley's sister Brooke and her husband Stuart came to Utah to attend a friend's wedding. Here are some pictures from our family dinner on Sunday when we all got together.

An Afternoon with Our Cousins

On Saturday, Ashley and the boys spent the afternoon at Aunt Claire's pool with Karen, Jonathan, Leanne and baby Josh. It was so much fun!It was really fun to see Jonathan as a dad

Baby Josh has Leanne's amazing blue eyes. He was so cute.

Playing in Provo Canyon

Daniel, Nate and Ashley have been enjoying playing in Provo Canyon this summer. One of the kids favorite places is at the bast of Bridal Veil falls.

It's been so hot this summer that the water wasn't even freezing cold! It's been the hottest summer in Utah EVER.

Daniel's been having fun climbing up the rocks at the base of the waterfall

Nate wasn't so sure about walking through the water.

Daniel has been obsessed with wearing his overalls this summer. Ashley can hardly get him to take them off. He even sleeps in them!
