Family Pictures...

...of the Hales :) Haha were you confused??

We did take some shots of us to...

The camera man in front of the camera.

Sarah had to hold Lyla in between pretty much every shot

Emma and Jack

Our crazy family

They have way to much fun together!!

Jack's New Bike

We bought Jack a new little bike, that doesn't have pedals, to help him get ready for a "big boy bike." He loves it, he rides on it all day and is actually getting very good at it. Although he does ask me a lot why it doesn't have pedals!

Of course Lyla can't be left out!

Me and my big belly at 30 weeks.

Flanders Family Reunion

Our annual camp out at Anderson Cove with the Flanders Family was tons of fun this year, so glad to see everyone!!

Jack and Lyla trying out the walkie-talkies

Sean setting up a couple tents :)

While everyone else (Jack) was out on the boat Lyla was content just playing with some buckets and water.

Although it was more fun when everyone came back to play with her!!

Later came bubbles

Big ones and small ones

Thanks to Nina and Jared for making the bubbles so much fun!!

The next morning there was some wakeboarding...

...yummy food...

...finger painting...

...and dry ice bubbles.

We had TONS of fun this year and are already looking forward to next year!!! Thanks everyone!!!

The rest of the day the kids were pretty much shot. It is very rare for Lyla to hold still this long :)

Golfing at Cherry Hill

Jack has wanted to go "golfing at Cherry Hill" ALL summer. He asks me EVERY time we drive past, "when are we going golfing at Cherry Hill?" So finally we went, with the Hales, and he loved every minute of it. He ran and ran and golfed and just had tons of fun.

He hasn't quite figured out the rules yet, but as long as he was enjoying himself I didn't care.

Sarah H. has been a trooper this summer. Lyla has decided that Sarah is her favorite person and so whenever we are together it is like Sarah has 3 kids cause Lyla won't let me near her :) Lyla is also a climber, can you tell?

The kids loved throwing the balls into the holes and then watching where they ended up.

Yes I know I am huge.

Everyone but Sean: Sarah, Sarah, Lyla, Lucy, Jack, Emma and Matt

Patriotic Parades

We went to three parades this year!! I am seriously wondering why. I mean the kids had tons of fun and they got tons of candy, but they were kind of all the same :) although I am sure we will do it again next year!!

Sean, Lyla and Jack during the Centerville Parade

If Lyla saw a piece of candy she would run for it, no matter how far away it was!! She liked to keep daddy on his toes!!

Farmington Festival Days

This year we went with the Millers and they let us sit with them in there awesome seats!! Thanks guys!!

Rick got the honor of driving the Citizen of the Year

Uncle Chase was just spending another day at the office :)

Jack was sooo excited for the parade to start that he wouldn't even look at me.

Daddy and Lyla...let the fun begin!!

With Uncle Chase driving around the Maverick truck all summer we have sure had our fun posing with it. Jack, Rylee, Sarah, Lyla, Branson and RD

Jack and Lyla petting the baby goats at the festival

For some reason my camera didn't make it to the Kaysville Parade which was by far the most profitable. Jack came away with enough goodies to last the rest of the summer!! Thanks to the Hale's and Gunn's for letting us tag along!!

A few more days...

...of fun with Matt and Melissa's family before they headed back out of town. We went to Gardner Village, fishing, swimming, lots of shopping and just hanging out.

Although I only managed to take one picture...

Grandpa watched Lyla while the rest of us went swimming, looks like he had a really hard time :)

Matt and Melissa we miss you!!!! Come back soon!!!!

Godfrey Reunion

Our annual trip to Bear Lake with the Godfrey's was so much fun!!

We headed down to the beach right after we checked in, so it was late afternoon and the water was cold!!

Jack and Gabe already throwing rocks

Some of the gang hanging out in the water

Lyla didn't care if it was cold, she was loving it!!

Grandpa and Ava getting their toes wet

The next day we had lots of fun at the beach, even though their was just rocks, not sand

I loved that Lyla wanted to wear my hat all day, it shaded her whole body!

Megan and Justin brought their paddle boards, and we had lots of fun on them, although we were a little sore afterwards!

Lyla passed out at the beach, all wrapped up in towels.

Matt and Benson hanging out at the beach

Jack was prepared for all sorts of fun!!

Benson turned one while on vacation and we all celebrated with some yummy cupcakes!!

Amy and Christian waiting for some fun to start!

Matt took most of us on a hike through Minnetonka Cave. I made it up and down about 880 of the 888 stairs before I slipped and almost fell, thanks to my sis who saved me, she had held onto me the whole way, just waiting for the pregnant clutz to slip :) At the very bottom of the cave they turn out the lights to show you how dark it could be in there. I whispered "I am freaking out" and heard Jack's reply "we are all freaking out mom." Fun times!!

Jack had been looking forward to the Pinata since Grandma showed it to him a couple days before we left. He asked her every day, "Are we doing the Pinata today?"

Instead of boating in the frigid temps at Bear Lake we headed down for one last bit of fun at Newton Lake by Logan.

Jack and Sean wakeboarding

Megs holding Lyla and a freaked out Ava

We had so much fun this year!!! A HUGE thanks to Grandma Callie and Grandpa Kirk!!!

Can't wait til next year....
