Just For Fun

We have been having so much fun and have been so busy lately. Just a few of those things we have been doing include: a demolition derby, camping, swimming, a couple of birthday's, a girl's trip to Vegas, family moving into town, Josh and Becky both starting school, and finally getting ready for our trip to Cabo in just TWO days!! Whew! So much in so little time. It would of been fun to blog about each one of these things but I have a hard time doing that when I don't have pictures to include with it. Luckily my sister is letting me borrow her camera for our trip coming up so I will have loads of pictures to share when we return.

Below are some pictures of Talon my sister took a little while back and I thought I would share some. You will notice in some of the picutres his bottom lip is a little bit swollen. He fell of a camp chair and bit through his bottom lip. Poor guy! I love these pictures because his personality come out in them so much. He is definitely a cheese ball for the camera but he also has an attitude. We sure love that boy!!

We Love Summer!!

We love summer around here! Despite the scorching heat here, most days we still find things to do that make summer so much fun. We go swimming in our little blow up pool as often as we can. And just recently we went to Gunlock reservoir and had a campfire by the water. This is one of my favorite summer traditions to do. We just sit by the fire and talk and laugh and eat those delicious roasted marshmallows and other roasted goodies. Talon loved playing in the rocks and dirt and kept wanting to jump right into the water. Hopefully we will make it back there before Summer is gone. And hopefully I will find a working camera to take many more pictures too.

1 year photo shoot (a little late)

My very talented and kind sister, Allie, offered to take pictures of Talon for his 1 year photos. I realize it is a couple months late but better late than never. She did a great job! I just wish we had more time. We did this in less than an hour. It helps that the subject is so dang cute and cheesy! I am certain he will be a heart breaker someday!

And there is even more where these came from!

July

Well July has been fun and busy for us. We have taken a mini trip to Salt Lake and filled our time with fun things like Lagoon, the Zoo, swimming, and 4th of July festivities. Unfortunately my camera picks and chooses when it like to work and it hasn't been for a while now. So I have a few pictures thanks to my sisters camera. Other things we have been doing this month: We play in the water in our backyard, we have been doing fireworks, and eating lots of popsicles to try and keep up with the St. George heat!

Las Vegas

Yesterday for our company party we got to go to Vegas for dinner and a show called Tournament of Kings. This show plays at the Excalibur. What a great show it was. I have never been to anything like it with the jousting and sword fights. It was so much fun! My favorite part was to see how Talon was reacting. He kept clapping and laughing and pointing at the knights on their horses. This is something we would definitely go back and do again.

3 years plus more

Josh and I just celebrated our 3 year anniversary. We went to Texas Roadhouse and to see Killers (the movie was pretty good). We had a lot of fun and we can't wait to go on our trip in September. We decided to go to Cabo for a week in September. So something fun to look forward to. In other things going on around here, we love Summer and all the fun things to do. Talon is getting bigger and more independent by the day! He wants to feed himself all the time which usually ends in a huge mess, he doesn't want to hold my hand when we walk he has to do it himself, he loves to get into things he shouldn't and I frequently come into the kitchen to see him sitting on a dining chair at the table trying to be a big boy. He makes me laugh so much I can't even imagine what he will be doing when he can talk. We love having our roommie Becky with us too. We don't ever want her to leave! That has been life for us lately.

Happy "Birthday"

This year for Josh we decided to celebrate his half birthday instead of on his actual birthday because it is so close to Christmas and because he has always wanted a Summer birthday. Unfortunately this year it fell on a Sunday so we weren't able to do much but we still had so much fun. We had delicious food and presents and a cake. So Happy "Birthday" Josh we love you!
