End of Summer

Where is Lyla?

Now that crawling is sooo easy Lyla is into climbing. The other day I could not find her anywhere until I heard her little stuffy nose breathing (thanks to her allergies). She had managed to get herself into a tight spot on the computer desk.

Some may call it boredom, but for me I was just trying to entertain Jack. So I pulled out all of my old stuffed animals plus Jack's and Lyla's and we tried to hide Lyla. Well she is to big, but we had fun! Who can spot the popple?

Of course Jack wanted to try too!

Cute kids!!

Peach Days

I was born in Brigham and for me it just doesn't feel like fall has started until we have gone to Peach Days. Luckily they have a HUGE car show that entices Sean! We looked at lots of cars, ate some yummy food (peach cobbler!), gawked at the incredibly huge amount of people that showed up for the festivities, then turned around and came home.

It's official, Jack is a preschooler!!

This was his "I am to cool for pictures face."

I think it is funny that his backpack is as big as he is. He thinks that it is funny to not keep his backpack on!!

The Godfrey Family Reunion

The traditional Bear Lake reunion this year was oh so much fun, although a little cold!! Before the rain started on Sunday we went for a great hike to see the Lone Pine...

We owe a big thanks to these two!!

Jack was in heaven with all the wild flowers and sticks he could get his hands on!

Justin and Megan

The Oklahoma Godfrey's...so HAPPY that they could come!!

It was a wee windy

US

Grandpa (or Baaboo) and Gabe

The boys had way to much fun playing Risk, staying up until one in the morning!!

Our Beach day was freezing because it had rained all night and cooled things off!! So there wasn't to much time in the water, mostly just playing on the beach.

Ava and Jack playing in the sand

Amy, Lyla, Ava and Jon

Yes i kept her in the shade even though it was freezing. The poor girl would of been burnt to a crisp otherwise, with her fair skin.

All the boys playing some game that I don't have a clue what it is called

That night after our traditional shakes and burgers at Le Beau's we had our first ever pinata (spell check can't even help me with that word)!! It was a big hit, the kids loved it. It took a little while to actually break open, but as the kids get bigger it will break open way to fast!

We had so much fun, the hiking, yummy food, staying up late chatting, movies, games, making silly hats, playing with stickers, going to the beach, and were so sad when it was all over. Especially because our Oklahoma cousins had to go home. But there is always next year!!

Elders Quorum Golf Scramble

Trying to come up with an activity for the Farmington Crossing Branch Elders Quorum has been difficult because we don't want to exclude anyone and don't want to waste the budget. We decided to hold a scramble at Davis Park Golf Course. We had a great turnout from Elders that we hadn't seen for a while and others that have never touched a club in their life. Thanks to Wade Steed for organizing and Cory Burt (Burt Brothers Tires) for the excellent prizes. We even had the local pro Clay Ogden show us how it's done. Success!!!

Summer

We have had a fun summer, and its not over yet, so here are a few random pictures to update all of you on what we have been doing!

Discovery Gateway - Jack's favorite is the fans that blow cupcake liners up in the air. He might not look happy in the picture, but he was just in awe of the machine.

We have lots of pictures of Lyla in the stroller this summer. This time she was happy watching Jack play with the fans.

Solid Foods - Lyla has started eating solids, and let me tell you, she LOVES them. So it tends to result in baths in random places. Like Grandma Callie's kitchen sink.

Jack thinks it is funny to cover Lyla up with blankets and watch her dig herself out. Luckily she is a good sport and lets him. When she does crawl out there is normally a big smile on her face (like above) but the longer it takes her the big smile turns to big tears.

Flowers - Jack LOVES flowers. Planting them, picking them, looking at them, really just anything about them. So when we went to Temple Square last week he was loving every minute of it. He was also enthralled with the fountains.

Lyla didn't like them quite as much.

Funny picture of the two.

Swimming with dad.

Lyla watching them swim, not so happy about the watching part.

Jack made this "water shower" for Lyla in the bath tub the other night. She loved it!!

So cute...

...I just had to share!

Lyla can crawl...

...or can she? We call it her bump scoot!!
