Happy #3 Gavyn

Gavyn got this for his birthday, only he is a little scared to ride it. He's tried it out in the driveway a few times, but he's terrified of going into the road even when I am with him. I guess that's good.

Lately, Gavyn has been watching the Disney cartoon version of "The Three Musketeers." He thinks he is a musketeer. He runs around the house yelling. "Musketeers. All for one. All for one." This is him trying out the musketeer costume he got for his birthday.

Bryce Canyon

My sister Jennifer did a great job organizing a fun weekend for our family in Bryce Canyon. We camped just outside of Bryce Canyon. We went on some beautiful hikes, were amazed by the scenic redrock of southern Utah, saw a lot of wildlife, and enjoyed the company of the Hadfields.

The Girls' Room

Thank you to Katie for making Emma's and Ada's room so cute!

Raquetball

There is nothing Gavyn enjoys more than spending quality time with his father.

Playing in the Mud

Our ward young men and young women have an annual mud football game. David is a young men's leader, and the kids and I went to watch and take pictures. After the game was over David threw the kids in the mud. They thought it was so much fun.

Our motorcycle ride to Bloomington Lake

Our family had a lot of fun in Idaho with the Tippets side of the family at the end of July. One of the things we did was ride our motorcycles to Bloomington Lake, a glacier lake, located about 20 miles north and west of Bear Lake. It was about a six mile ride. We had to hike the last quarter mile to get to the lake. While there the kids and David had fun swinging on the rope swing and playing in the water. I had fun taking pictures.
