Wedding Bells

Congratulations! Lindsay and Dan got married and we couldn't be happier for the two of them! Our trip down was short for Brett, but thanks to his encouragement, Cade and I got to stay for another week and go to Swiss Days! Loved every minute of it!

The two love birds

A picture on the steps where it all began for our family!

(Salt Lake Temple)

The reception in my parent's yard turned out wonderful,

despite threats of nasty weather!

Saying good night to Aunt Lindsay and Uncle Dan before

calling it a night (and a very long day for a one and a half year old)!

Playing in the fountains at Gateway for the first time.

I think Brett had just as much fun watching!

Say cheese!

We had so much fun at Swiss Days that we didn't take any

pictures, but here's one at the cabin with Cade

wearing my slippers - he found plenty of things to keep him busy,

as usual!

Missed a Few..

In June, Brett's grandparents came to visit, and I never posted pictures, so here they are! It was great to see you and can't wait for your next trip up!

Almost 4 generations! (Brett had to work)

Watching himself on the TV

Grandma walking Cade - Cade walking Wiley

Stoping for one brief moment, while feeding the ducks!

Wiley wanted some of the goods too

Cade eating his fair share of the stale bread.

Action shot with Grandpa

Both grandma's and both grandpa's, all feeding the ducks. At this point, Cade just wanted to jump in the pond, but it sure was fun!

"Over the River and Through the Woods"

We successfully survived our first camping trip with Cade! Brett and I got little sleep, Cade got a little dirty, but we all had a lot of fun!

Cade's favorite outdoor toy!

"Helping" Dad build a fire.

Eating, throwing, and playing in the dirt!

Life couldn't be better!

Proud of our home away from home!

We should eat smores every night!

Take note: a Huggies wipes container makes a great booster seat!

Signs of a great camping trip...dirty knee...

...crossed legs and dirty shoes!

Swimming in the river

The view

Approximately 6 minutes after pulling away from the campground!

Can't wait to go again!

Grandma & Grandpa Come to Town!

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit this last weekend! We had a little play time, a little rest and relaxation, and a lot of fun! Thanks for coming to visit!

My first Ferdinand's ice cream!

Just looking cool!

A little taste of the farmer's market.

Grandma's favorite pass-time!

Hitchin' a ride with Grandpa on our hike to the falls at Elk River.

Testing the waters with Dad. The water was actually really nice!

Just thought this one was adorable!

Me and Mom

On an evening walk. (He kept looking back to make sure no one was left behind-

so cute!)

Not sure what to think about the pokey wheat.

Ice cream... again! (The fourth time in four days!)

Good 'ol Cougar Country!

One last picture before Grandma and Grandpa leave. Love you!

Palouse Falls

Out in the middle of the Palouse, there's a waterfall! We went with Grandma and Grandpa Udy (the picture of all of us was with their camera, but I promise they were there)! We ate a picnic, then walked to "the edge" for some pictures. It turned out to be a very nice day and we're glad to finally have some summer weather!

Well, two out of three smiles isn't bad!

Happy to be out in nature.

Testing his limits on how far away from Mom and Dad he can get!

Not the first, nor last time I'll say, "Like Father, like Son!"

Trying to hold still while Grandpa takes a picture.

Even little stinkers can be cute!

Happy 3rd of July!

So for those of us who don't live in Utah, the holidays aren't "moved" if they fall on a Sunday, so we celebrated the 4th, on the 3rd! We had a neighborhood bike and stroller parade, games, a BBQ and a "cul-de-sac of fire" (in honor of Stadium of Fire)! Thanks to all those who have fought, or are still fighting for the freedoms of this great nation.

We took several family pictures, but this was as good as it got!

These are my new sporty shoes that dad bought me to match his (see last years post)!

Action shot of Cade throwing a water balloon.

Action shot of Mom catching a water balloon (Brett's in the background). We did pretty well!

Happy with a ball in his hands.

Trying to scale the slide.

Unhappy if things don't go his way.

Dad helping with lasso golf balls.

Happy to have Grandma sitting with us during the "scary" fireworks!

Happy Independence Day!
