 Loved seeing Nick come home from his mission!  He is an amazing young man and I can't wait for my boys to go on missions.  I know that Uncle Stan was smiling in heaven and so proud of his wonderful, sweet son.

 Griffin is becoming pretty insane at church.  Can't wait til he's old enough for nursery!  Lately he loves eating with utensils.  Cracks me up!

 Lincoln is becoming more courageous with his swimming.  He will go out into the pool with his lifejacket and floatie now.  He's such a safety kid and I love that he's so cautious.  

 Lincoln is also loving riding tricycles at Grandma Claire and Papas house.  He's a machine!

 Meanwhile, Brett has been in the basement studying his little heart out.  I'm so proud of him and all he's doing to get ready for the bar!  He takes it on July 28.  Can't wait for it to be over!

 Linc and Papa on the four wheeler....he's a brave Papa!

 Making and frosting cupcakes with Nana.  Lucky guy!

 I love how Griffin falls asleep in the car.  He's darling.

 After Staci's shower dinner at Brio in Salt Lake, Laura and Claire and I went to Lagoon and rode Cannibal!  It was so awesome!  Way to go Claire!  She was amazing and loved it.

 Griffin and Papa do this alot at dinner.  I don't know what happens, but they touch pointer fingers and it makes Griffin's day!

 Loving the trampoline and the trails!

 I love my mom so much.  We went to Nordstrom for lunch and she had two pairs of glasses on to read the receipt.  Amazing :)

1. Growing boys.

2. So fun to be in Utah!  

3. Brett is almost done.

 Lincoln also has loved making puzzles and playing with new toys.  

 He also loves going down in Papa's workshop and hammering nails and hanging out with Papa.

1. We love being at Grandma Claire and Papa's!

2. Pool time!

3. Workshop time!

 At night we got dinner to go and went to a park and watched the kids play.  So fun to watch Lincoln play with his cousins and enjoy them so much.  He loves to follow around Mia and mimic everything she does.  Hank is a riot and I loved watching him keep up with his sisters.  Griff enjoyed the show and loved the park.

 One of the days we rented bikes and biked through the town and through the fields.  I never knew that there were so many trails there!  The weather was wonderful and the boys loved riding around.  

 We stopped for lunch at a playground and right when we finished eating a rain storm came in and we hid underneath the playground from the rain.  We all got very wet, but for those of us carrying multiple children the rain felt really good! :) 

 On Friday we took the gondola up to the top of Canyons Resort and went for a short hike and then played at a pond.  The views were amazing!

 It was so fun to be with my family (missed having Deven and Andrea there though!!) and to laugh and play with them.  

 On Saturday we had a bbq at my parents house and enjoyed time together, games, and watching Josh fly his plane.  

 And watching Trevor wreck his plane...

 I love roasting mallows out in the pit.  Always a great time!  I loved watching Lincoln hold his marshmallow a foot from the flames.  Didn't get close to getting browned! Cute guy.

 On Sunday we celebrated my beautiful mom's birthday.  She is such a wonderful woman and I'm so lucky to call her mom.  She is an example to me of a faithful, happy, kind and patient woman.  She's my best friend and I love her so much.

 That week we also enjoyed swimming at Claire's pool and going to Lagoon.  Seriously wonderful week!

3. Lots of game nights, photos, laughs, good food, and great company.
