Summer time fun!

        For Mark's mom's birthday party we had a movie night in our backyard. A nice man that Martha works with in the Temple came and put in on for us. Everyone had a great time.


This is our 5th year doing Cousins Camp. It was a lot of fun. So grateful that we can get together and make some fun memories.

Of course the kids had to have their annual shaving cream fight!


And the Zoo is always a lot of fun. Especially the train!


For the 24th of July we went to my Mom's cabin in Fairview. The kids had a great time with their cousins and a blast on the 4 wheelers.


Grandma liked giving rides too!


Cole liked going right before it got dark so he could see the deer and Jack-rabbits.


Cole has been a big help around the house. He loves to help his Dad mow the lawn.


We found a new snack that Cole likes to eat, olives. He even likes to put them on his own finger before he eats them.


We have been told in the past that we have to wait until Cole is 2 yrs old before we can get a stander. The smallest stander is about the size of a 2 yr old.  Because Cole is so small we knew he wouldn't be the size of a normal 2 yr old for a long while. We were kind of waiting to work on his standing until he figured out crawling. Now that he has we (Mark) decide it was time to get him standing by making him his own  stander. Mark has been working on it for the last week.


Drew was able to go to visit his Aunt Shanna and Uncle Zac with his Grandparents and cousin Zoey. The did sooo many fun things while they were in Washington State.


 Aunt Shanna knows all the cool places to go!


While Drew was gone the family went on our annual trip to Lagoon. The big kids had a great time on all the big rides and Gabe, Cole and I enjoyed the kiddie rides.


Cole was in Heaven!

Well Mark did it! The stander is all done and we can start using it! We are excited to help Cole get his legs stronger so he can start working on walking in the future!
