A little of this...a little of that

 So, I thought I would add a few more of our fantastically fun things we did during the summer. Dave and I celebrated our sixth anniversary in June. I can't believe six years have come and gone. I have loved every minute being married to this amazing man. The morning of our anniversary Dave took me on a hike to this beautiful waterfall. How could I not  lay one on him? I love this man!

 My parents have been kind enough to let us borrow their boat on occasion to head out to the lake. It was so nice to be out on the water, eating snacks which mostly consisted of powdered doughnuts, soda, chips, and pretty much everything else unhealthy. I love it! Benson however, ended up eating an apple, well part of it. Then he chucked it in the water!

 Benson had fun trying to learn how to fish with his cousin sage. Although I don't have a picture, Lincoln loved  boating as well. Must be something about that fresh lake air...and the snacks!


 I was lucky enough to be able to run in the Utah Valley half marathon in June. I had so much fun, even though I couldn't walk for a few days following. I was so grateful to my supporters who came and cheered me on. What a blessing it is to have family!


 Recently, we were able to attend a Jazz game. Dave's work was generous enough to provide box seats. We had so much fun. Benson loved watching the game and kept yelling go Mitt! I guess we have been coaching him too much during the debates.

Bring out yer dead...we're not dead yet!


I have decided to come out of my shameful corner, brush off the cobwebs and blog. How do you put nearly a year of photos in a post? You don't! So for the next while I will be playing catchup so I can give the important events in our lives their place in the sun. 


 We had a really fun summer! A lot of our time was spent at the petting zoo at Thanksgiving point. Just looking at this picture makes me want to break into the Mr. Ed theme song.


Benson loved seeing all the animals and especially loved feeing the horses. We had to have a special team meeting about feeding the horses the food and not your fingers. I think Benson caught on, no loss of digits yet!


Baa Ram Ewe...sheep be true! I know that isn't a sheep. But can't you see those words coming out of this teeny goat. So cute!


 Lincoln looking suave in his Sunday best!


These are pictures from Lincoln's first day of school. I swear he was excited. Well...he was excited to be riding the bus again. Benson was equally excited to see the bus. He tries to get on everyday. I think his hopes are that one day I won't notice and he will get to go to school with his big bro. Sorry dude, not happening!



The following pictures are at the Real Salt Lake soccer stadium. Dave's work was being honored at the game for being the official eye care providers of Real Salt Lake. So fun! We were able to come before the game where we were fed dinner and then were led to our posh seats. 


 Our seats were pretty much on the field. Even though I am not a huge soccer fan, it was a lot of fun being so close to the action. Benson pretty much thought he had died and gone to sports heaven. He cheered and booed and loved wearing his VIP pass. I think we have a sports fanatic on our hands. Lincoln had a great time as well. He loved having the freedom to run around and be silly! The only thing I truly hate about soccer is that the game can end in a tie. What the?


 This was me trying to get Benson pumped up for the game. Didn't work! Camera shy!


 I love our little family so much! We have so much fun together. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing husband and two wonderful boys! Life is good!


After the game got boring, Lincoln whipped out the Ipad to keep himself company. The kid is so smart with electronics. LOVE. HIM. TO. DEATH!
