We are so lucky to have families with boats. Last Saturday Brody and I went boating at Jordanelle with Adam's parents and his sister Becky. While we played, Adam worked. I of course forgot the camera. I'm still working on getting some copies from Becky. Yesterday we went boating with my family. We had a blast, especially Brody. He loved, loved, loved the sand, he just couldn't get enough of it. And my crazy but cute husband likes to do funny things so here he is digging a hole on the side of the hill so he can put his chair there. Pineview is so full that we are limited to the amount of beach, or we could say hill that we have to lay out on.

I'm walking, my mom will be posting a video once I cooperate. This will be me someday on a motorcycle.

My sister-in-law decided to come to terms with the blogging business so she finally has one. Just thought I would mention this to all of you who don't know about it quite yet. So check it out if you would like, she's very funny and creative!

I was working on our yard and had to water some plants and once Brody saw water, he came quickly. So I took off his clothes and let him be.
Adam went to Texas for work last week so Brody and I went up to Logan for a couple days to play with my sister and niece. Brody and Taya are so cute together but now they are at the stage of wanting the same toy at the same time. Time to start teaching how to share. Taya loves to give Brody hugs!

Working on the yard
Ever since Adam got home, we have constantly been on the go. We had a luau with our ward Friday night. Then we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon where Adam’s family camped over night and we went up Saturday morning to have breakfast and visit. Brody was so exhausted that he fell asleep in the stroller…this is a 1st.
Saturday night we went to a demolition derby. We love going to the derby’s. Brody had his eyes glued to the cars the whole time. We went with most of Adam’s family minus Becky and we had a blast.
Brody and Jack are such cute little buds.
Hanging out at the derby.

Although Brody has been a little mad at his dad for leaving him for 6 whole days, I think he's a little bit happy he is home now. I'm definately happy he is home. He completes our little family. I love you babe, we missed ya!

I watched my friend's little girl Harbor a few weeks ago and here's Brody helping bounce her. He just wanted her to play so bad so this is his way of playing. She seemed to enjoy it!
My niece Taya turned two May 23 and we went up to Logan to celebrate with her. Here is her new wagon which Brody and Taya just love riding in.
Brody is so cute when he sleeps. He folds his arms and puts them behind his head and crosses his little feet. He also crosses his feet when he is sitting on the floor or sitting in his car seat. I love his little characteristics!
Our new camp trailer. We just got back from camping this last Wednesday with my extended family. We loved our tent trailer, it was perfect for our little family and the heater worked. We're getting pretty luxurious these days, having a heater and camping, what more could you ask for. We went up to Lava Hot Springs for three nights and played lots. We went to the hot pools and the outside pool and just hung out. Brody and Taya had lots of fun playing and following each other around. As soon as Brody woke up in the morning he would point to the trailer door because he wanted out of there. It was time to play. Taya would do the same thing except she would point to our trailer because she knew that's where Brody was. We had a great time except for the fact that almost everyone got the flu except for the kids which was nice. The last night we went to the farm and played on the 4-wheelers and played lots of games.
It was pretty cold in the mornings so we bundled Brody up. He didn't seem to mind so much except for those darn mittens. He just couldn't grab anything with them. I guess it's time to get some new gloves.
Brody playing with Grandpa, or as Taya calls him “Poppy”. Doesn’t he look so handsome?
Getting ready to walk down to the hot pools.

Brody walking a few steps. Brody still isn't fully walking. We keep encouraging him but as everyone says..."He will walk when he's ready". So here's grandpa helping him walk.
Taya and Brody playing as usual. They get along so great! It's so fun to watch them.
My dad seems to win me about 99% of the time when we play checkers and yes here’s another one of those wins.
Cute picture of my cute sister Tarasha, Taya and Brody.
I guess this trip wore the boys right out.
A random shot of my other cute sister Demarie.
When we came home from our trip Brody was the happiest boy ever. Adam and Brody played for a long time. Adam put a bandanna on Brody’s head and I thought it was so cute!
Last but not least...my cousin Alan was married to Kelcie yesterday in the Manti temple. They are such a cute couple and the ceremony was wonderful! I was so grateful to attend. We drove down Thursday night to sleep at a motel and woke up early to go to the temple. So here's an end to a crazy and busy week and a half. We are ready to be back to our daily routine and sleep in our own beds.
