Summertime in Utah


Yes, I'm offically feeling like a slacker in regards to my blog lately. I know it must be true if Tim starts asking me when I'm going to do a new blog post. I've been planning to break up my pictures into a few different posts since we arrived home from Utah, but it keeps never happening, so they will all be dumped into this one (besides the Bear Lake ones which I did get posted a week and a half ago). So...there are about a bazillion photos in this post in no particular order.

Some of the MANY things we enjoyed while in Utah (in no particular order): dogs, kittens, FAMILY, swimming, Willow Park Zoo, buffalo, COUSINS, Bear Lake, riding horses, 4-wheeler, picking the garden, wrestling, FAMILY, animals, wonderful grass, relaxing...and the list could go on and on!! By the way, did I mention we LOVED being around family? It was GREAT!
Easton loves to swing!

Easton LOVES dogs...even when they are more than twice the size that he is

Dylan and Cody the dog

Grandma Karen has many hidden talents, and I just learned of a new one...flower necklaces. While we enjoyed the beautiful Utah grass and the playground, they picked these little flowers and Grandma tied the necklace for Dylan. Love it!

Easton and his cousin Will played cute together. Here they were sharing not quite ripe apples from the tree.

One of Easton's favorite things - Dogs (and grandma). I was a bit surprised to catch the kiss on camera.

Dylan's self portrait

One of Dylan's favorite things was picking the garden at G. Stocking's. Here they are playing with all the beans he picked. The first day Dylan picked he did a good job of picking the cucumbers and green peppers that were a reasonable size. By the second day, he was picking the tiny buds of green peppers...he had to pick something!

Dylan running through the sprinklers with my cousin Danny. Danny was such a good sport to always play with Dylan!

Dylan wanted to show me his "beautiful creation". He had picked grandma's flowers (with her permission) and added them to the puddle.

Grandma Stocking and Jayden riding the mini 4-wheeler.

The cousins on the slip-n-slide at Jace's birthday party. Dylan, Ashley, Heather and Jayden.

Dylan giving Jayden a ride on the mini 4-wheeler. This was one of Dylan's favorite activities and he was really good at it! He sure didn't seem old enough to be driving a 4-wheeler around!
