HUGE Summer Up-Date

We have had a fun and busy summer. I am amazed that it's already coming to an end!! Here is a quick catch-up!!

Roman FINALLY has a high-chair!! Yay! We just procrastinated getting him one for the longest time. I have no idea why. But it's been a huge life-saver. Plus, he loves sitting in it. He know that when he sit there, that means FOOD!!! He loves any "real" food that he can get his hands on.
Roman's friend, JETT, had a fun 1st birthday party. Roman had a blast seeing all the kids run around.
Sawyer was at the party too. He was in Cupcake HEAVEN!! I love this picture!! He has a frosting beard. :) What a silly boy! He calls Roman "Ro-Ro"
Um, no words necessary. Obviously Roman is blissfully happy in the bathtub. He loves being in water SOOO much. He has discovered that there is water in the toilets. {JOY}

As you can see, Roman has a perma-grin. People always ask me if he is always THAT happy. The answer is yes. I don't know how I got such a pleasant, happy, and adorable child. He just makes it impossible to be sad around him! I think Heavenly Father I knew I would need him just the way he is.
Last week, my little bro. CRAIG, got home from his mission!! {More pics of that coming soon} As a family, we headed up to Park City together to spend some quality time together. We had so much fun! Here we are at breakfast on Saturday morning...

This is the R.M. Craig, and his friend Emilee.

And here is Uncle Mikey, Roman, Taylor, Amanda, Kylie, Craig, Emilee and Sydney.
Whew! Big catch-up post. More pics to follow. Why blog when you can play outside??

Guitars, Tiki Bars and a whole Lotta Love...

I have slowly converted Casey to the joy of country music.
Bwah ha ha...
It's been my evil plan all along.
We are starting one artist at a time.
A few months ago, he really started bonding with Mr. Chesney.
Everywhere he went, Mr. C came.
He especially loves him,
because he mentions Boston and the "Red Sox" in a few songs.
Casey wished they were best friends. I know he does.

Anyway, a few weeks ago,
we scored some sweet and cheap tickets to his show.
We went with my parents and Sister and Bro-In-Law. (Jen & Chad)
Besides sitting out in the BLAZING heat and
with throbbing swollen feet...
It was SO MUCH FUN!


{Oh, and take note in the top picture,
Kenny whipped out a U of U hat for one of his songs.
That totally sealed the deal for Casey.
Done.
Love.
Mission Accomplished.}
