More blogging - so much to post...so little time!

We loved spending a day with Jeff and his girlfriend, Jen. The kids obviously felt comfortable around them, and we've learned that Faith has a "thing" for TALL guys. She wanted to be held by Andrew Israelson, Jeff and anyone else over 6 feet tall! We'd better watch out for those basketball players who might start making stops at our house!

So, here you go. My first post was a disaster, but at least you can see some of what we did while in Utah. Both families have ALL the pictures, but this is just a taste. We will update weekly on this site, and hope that you will comment and keep us updated with your family!

John didn't feel well at all on his (2nd) birthday, but we carried on with the Sesame Street party! He liked blowing out the candle and eating the cake! We just love our Hawkins cousins and their beautiful yard (and trampoline) that they shared with us so many times during our visit!

These are 3 of my adorable kids - this shows Faith's beautiful smile. We were visiting Temple Square after our Croshaw cousins picture - hence the matching shirts & dress.

The new Tabernacle was beautiful! We also visited the new Children's Exhibit in the Church History Museum across the street from Temple Square. What an amazing site - the temple, the Square, the Conference Center, and so much more to come in the future!

Well, you'd think we weren't watching the kids...but we were! We came home and Peter immediately headed for the backyard, Clark following closely behind. Before we knew it, they were both in there with their clothes on! Those crazy boys! It wasn't nearly as funny when Peter did it again the next morning right before Cousin pictures!

We celebrated John's 2nd birthday, as well as Peter's 3rd birthday (both on the same day). Cute Sophie was the only one who would leave her party hat on her head!

Faith was such a sweet little Mommy to her new cousin (Joanna's baby) Amelia. She was the only baby this summer, so we all enjoyed kissing and loving her!
