Fall 2011

Saint George Marathon 2011! Every year we go to St. George and squish everyone into this little condo.. It seems to be getting smaller! Jon and dad wake up around 3:30am and head to the buses to take them to the start of the race. We wake up about 4 hours later and drive to the finish line for pictures and cheering!

Dad comes in for high 5's and Jordynn jumps into his arms!

Jon's sprint to the finish!

By the end, we are all exhausted. Not quite as much as the runners though!

State Fair

Hunter's Bday party with the Forman family!

Oops I think we grabbed the swimming suit that will fit next summer!!!

Okay I had to post this picture because it's Jon's favorite! He likes the bulging muscle!

Hunter's new "Sweatsuit!"

Boating one last time! It was freezing but we had to take it out.

Last picture of the water till next summer! I have to say, I'm excited for fall and winter this year.. Maybe I'm just really excited for all the fun parties and yummy food that comes along with it. I cannot stop baking!!!

Back to school!

Hunter was so excited for his first day of school. Especially because it was on his birthday! Bubba really wanted to go. He wants to go everywhere Hunter goes.

Hanna and her little buddy Tanner. According to her, she'll marry him one day!

Hunter is also very excited for Hanna to be going to the same school as him now. He couldn't wait to show her around.

We walked! Very ambitious of us at 7:30 am.... probably won't happen very often!

Such a poser!

Our Cabin!

Every summer we have a couple weeks at our amazing cabin in Wyoming! It is always one of our favorite places to be and our kids absolutely love it there! This time we did some Geo Caching, hiking, and some killer sand castles! And I have to say, this trip was much more relaxing than our June trip. I was so worried about the fast river and it sweeping away my kids, that it was hard for me to enjoy myself. It was much lower and slower this time!

I tried out our camera timer and set in on a tree! It worked out better than I thought it would!

Picnic time!

Geo Caching! Our kids are getting pretty good at finding them. Hunter's better than me!

We talked grandma and grandpa into coming! It was so fun!

Okay this one way way hard to find. Can you guess why?!!! Grandpa found it! The kids were super excited!

The famous sand castle! The kids spent hours on it!

Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays!

First, Happy Birthday to my favorite little girl in the world! Hanna's birthday was clear back in May and I have been such a slacker. She is so important in our lives and makes our house a more peaceful place. What an amazing sister and friend she is, and I am so excited to
see her grow up. She started Kindergarten on Monday and I did pretty well until I started walking away with Bridger in the stroller and realized how quiet it was. She was my little helper when it came to playing with Bridger. Now I have only one at home and it's really new to me. I hope I remember what it's like to just play with one baby at home! Happy Birthday Hanna Jo! We love you!Next was our Bridger! His birthday day was on July 27th! We felt so bad this year because on his birthday, we were in Lake Powell without him :( He got an awesome train table which he plays with every day! He was super excited! He loves to be with his brother and sister and follows them around EVERYWHERE. He is talking more and more every day. His funniest words are; "seesee" for Binky, "wawa"for water, and "Ionit" for I want it. He know what he's saying even if we don't all the time. Hunter's Birthday was August 23rd! I can't believe we have a seven year old! He chose to go to the Mayan restaurant with our family and we had a blast! He also got a gun, a gameboy game, school clothes, some new books and stuff I can't remember. I have to tell the story of his cap gun though. So 3 days after he got his cap gun he was playing with it while he went to the bathroom. The middle part that holds caps fell in the toilet. He would not reach in the toilet to get it and thought all was lost...so he flushed. Wow was I mad. It was a nice one too, a really heavy one like the cowboys had. I have to laugh though that he would rather have lost his gun than reach his hand into that toilet. Haha we love that boy! He is such an amazing brother and friend to Hanna and Bridger. Happy Birthday buddy!
