September trip to Utah

We couldn't be any happier!

Bridal Vail Falls, Provo Canyon

Salt Lake Temple (Ryan's the newest photographer in our family, he does quite well!)

We spent just over a week in Utah visiting both grandmas and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. Of course, the trip needed to last another week so we could enjoy more time with family and friends. We visited BYU, Temple Square, and Provo Canyon. Chris and I even took a night away to Park City. That trip is definitely on the list to do again! We enjoyed some of our favorite eateries like Jay Dog's and Cafe Rio. Here's some more pictures from our trip.

BYU v Colorado

"Boy, those are some sharp teeth!"

Lavell Edwards Stadium - Typical look for Garrett when he gets his picture taken.

We attended a BYU football game while in Utah. It was a blast because the Cougars won! Ryan couldn't be more interested. On the other hand, Garrett was done after the first half. Later that same week Chris took the boys back to see the stadium and field without the crowds.

Birthdays in Utah

She's just too cute!

Grandma Johnson and Aunt Tami put on a birthday party for Garrett and Clarissa while we visited Utah in September. Of course the cupcakes were as cute as ever thanks to Aunt Tami. Garrett had the blue sheriff cupcakes and Clarissa's were pink princesses.

Santa Barbara Zoo

Garrett ate the tree often!

Apparently this is fun!

The favorite activity for the kids at the zoo is not looking at the animals. It's a park area where they have a hill with artificial grass. Kids slide down on cardboard just like ice blocking. Garrett was always running into the tree. It was just too funny to watch and of course very difficult to get them to leave!

Ryan's U5 AYSO team

Coach Erick and Jaime, with players Christian, Brayden, Braden, Tanner, and Ethan (not pictured), and team mom (me.)

Ryan's first year playing soccer was fun for everyone. He loved playing and we enjoyed cheering him on. He really took the game seriously and was a star player (when he felt like playing!) His number was 7, just like James Loney from the Dodgers.
